Why the goat?

An Oklahoma man on methamphetamine went on an exceptional trip Wednesday morning, Tulsa CBS affiliate KOTV reported.

First, cops say Brandon Kirby, 40, stole a pickup truck that was parked at an adult video store in Carthage, Mo., according to Tulsa FOX affiliate KOKI. The car had two passengers, one man asleep in the passenger’s seat and that man’s pet goat, chilling in the bed of the truck, but Kirby was undeterred.

The abducted man and his pet goat had been waiting in the truck while the driver went shopping inside the store, KOTV reported. When the man woke up, Kirby held him at gunpoint and pistol whipped him.

Kirby proceeded to ingest methamphetamine and drive the car from Carthage, about 150 miles south of Kansas City in Missouri’s southwest corner, through Kansas and into Oklahoma, KOKI reported. In rural Creek County, Okla., Kirby decided having company was overrated and dropped the man — and the goat — on the side of the road. This proved to be a mistake, as the man called 911.

About all the guy got out of this crime was 3 squares and a bed.

kept a goat at their lodge for initiation purposes. I never did understand what he meant, but his father (my grandfather) scowled at him when he said it.
