Why this man decided to become a goat

High on a green sweep of Swiss Alps, grazing with a herd of goats, Thomas Thwaites is on all fours — dressed as one of them.

“Sweat is dripping off the end of my nose,” Thwaites writes in his new book, “Goat Man: How I Took a Holiday From Being Human” (Princeton Architectural Press). “My arms are on fire, and I can’t really feel my knuckles, but I imagine there’s not all that much skin left on them.”

After months of preparation, Thwaites had finally achieved his goal: to become a goat. Researching their thought patterns, he learned that goats are most likely “stuck in time, not able to think about the future or the past much, because they probably don’t have episodic memory.”

So he’d feel more at home in the nanny state.

In 2014, the 33-year-old British freelance graphic designer was in debt, living with his father, and sending out résumés to no avail. With so much worry on his mind, he thought it would be wonderful to “step away from the complexities of the world and have a lovely holiday, not just . . . away from your job (if you have one), but away from your very self.”

Oh, good grief.

Someone beat me to it: stay out of ay-rab countries.

...or someone self-identifying as a wolf

Wow, this could be tough when he’s figuring out which restroom to use.

[oh8eleven]

Does he use a bathroom or does he do it where ever? And which bathroom would he use if he goes indoors?
I am sooo confused.

Well he did come from a nanny state, the Untied Kingdom. ;-)

Psssst. He is not a goat, nor will ever be one.

I’m sorry to be so harsh, but this is biological reality.

[Zack Attack]

Should try his luck as a Tennessee fainting goat. Some screwy people in this world.

But in today’s world, science and biology don’t matter, unless it involves global warming. However, I am a goat for tax purposes, goats don’t pay income tax

Think about it

This nonsense will end once it costs the government money

What a pretty way to describe a nervous breakdown.

OMG! Is that him?

My back would hurt so bad!!! I am just not cut out to be a goat.

A sheeple?

He’d better not stray into muslime country if he wants to keep his virginity.

After research, including embarrassing conversations with specialists, he constructed a goat outfit.

Really... there are 'specialists' for anything nowadays!

On the lighter brighter side,Target's willing to let him poop on their bathroom floors.. ‘cause we all know goats don't use toilets.

This guy's no more a goat than Bruce Jenner's a woman.

Lucky for him the management at Target is blind and vile..
