Beauty contest for goats begins in Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh-A beauty competition for goats began on Wednesday in Saudi Arabia, as part of an auction bringing together traders and herders in the holy Muslim city of Mecca.
Auction supervisor Fawzi al-Subhi said that over 170 animals are competing for the coveted title ‘most beautiful goat.’ He expects the winner to be sold for at least 18,000 dollars.
According to al-Shams newspaper, the four-legged contestants are purebred Hijazi goats, a distinct breed named after the province in which Mecca is located.
Pastoralists and their flocks still roam the Hijaz region and other parts of the oil-rich Arabian kingdom.
So they say.

They are Neat looking—–how come we don’t have goats like that.
don’t know much about the animal, except what I read on the blogs, (and that’s not usually good)

Hahahahahaha, you’re so funny. I think we probably do have goats like this, but those cretins in Saudi Arabia do things with their goats that is just despicable.
December 29, 2010 at 11:09 am
But what happens if the goats have “seditious eyes?”
December 29, 2010 at 11:45 am
lol, you beat me to it!

Pretty damn funny PMM. I wonder how they judge them “Casting Couch”?

Sorry, first time or links always are caught in the spam folder. WP is great, but we have to put up with some weird stuff.
December 29, 2010 at 11:11 am
OHHH PMM: don’t ask, they do alot more with these goats, then our imaginations could handle (that’s pure rumor of course)
December 29, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Yeah pure rumor and inuendo. lol
December 29, 2010 at 11:58 am
I guess we are going to be seeing goats wearing burqas soon.
December 29, 2010 at 12:37 pm
just the nanny goats. they can call them nurqas.
December 29, 2010 at 12:48 pm
Nurqas? I think you might have something there Nom. lol
December 29, 2010 at 1:51 pm
ROFL!
December 29, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Hey, that’s a beautiful goat. God’s creatures…
December 29, 2010 at 12:48 pm
Yes they are beautiful. They all have special names.
December 29, 2010 at 1:55 pm
We’re not kidding when we call them goat-fuckers.
December 29, 2010 at 7:29 pm
No, we aren’t. Sick cretins.

The jokes just write themselves, don’t they.
Goats are actually beautiful, and they serve a purpose in the world. Could I say the same about Saudi Men?
P.S. Isn’t it a bit creepy that they are having a beautiful Goat contest? If I were a female goat in their country, I’d be heading for the hills.
December 30, 2010 at 7:20 am
I’m sure that they tried. The only difference between a goat and a woman in Saudi Arabia is a burqa. As Nom states, the nurqa maybe coming up next.

Good Grief, this is their third Goat Beauty pageant. The first is immortalized on you-tube.
December 30, 2010 at 7:22 am
Amazing. Look at the guy’s faces…they are the same ones that you see at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy mansion parties. Gilded cages.
December 30, 2010 at 8:30 am
I don’t know…it reminds me of the dog shows we have here in the US. If you’ve ever been around dog breeders, they can be pretty weird people.
But that said….I almost fell off my chair laughing over PMM’s comment on “seditious eyes”.
December 30, 2010 at 1:23 pm
Yes, “seditious eyes” almost made me choke on my coffee too.
December 31, 2010 at 5:58 am
Those Arabs look a tad bit too excited…lol…
Hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year
December 31, 2010 at 10:08 am
No different than the beauty pageant creepies that we get here. LOL
Happy New Year WCA!!!! Hey, we got a snow and sleet kicking last night. It’s heading your way. Take care.

All kittehs go to a very special place to wait for us Mary. Patience is a virtue. Kittehs have a lot of patience. That is what they have all taught me, love waits paitently.
December 31, 2010 at 7:58 pm
there’s nothing worse than losing a pet. I’m very sorry for your family’s loss
December 31, 2010 at 8:02 pm
They are family, aren’t they Nom? Peace to all that have passed.
December 31, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Thank you so much, Nom.

Happy New Year McNorman!
You have just got to send your post on “The Most Beautiful Goat” to HillBuzz!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, does this contest exclude infidel goats??????
January 3, 2011 at 4:54 pm
You know….goats of Western Civilizations……
January 3, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Hey Buttered, Happy New Year! You think that they will like the goat contest? lol
Don’t think that the infidel goats need participate, as they are already on the lookout for the “seditious eyes.”
January 3, 2011 at 6:32 pm
Instead of
“Bette Davis” Eyes????
lol
