Whoever stole Bill the Goat, the Navy’s official mascot, and left the poor guy near the Pentagon on Army Navy Drive in Arlington, Virginia, you will get your comeuppance. Remember Army, the Navy has owned you for ten years. And pranks like this only inflame the competitive juices. Or as it is known in France, jus de la compte. (Or is that what I use at Jamba Juice? My language fu feels weak today.)

Stealing the Army Mule or the Navy Goat was a yearly thing when I was a kid back in the 50′s. True skulduggery at it’s best.
It is okay if we steal the Armee mule. It is not okay if they burgle Bill the Goat.
Years ago, my cousin was in charge of A&M’s mascot, Reveille, when the dog was stolen by UT from my cousin’s back yard in Dallas. My cousin had left the dog with his father for just a few minutes, and Reveille was taken by those nasty, but quick, UT boys. It was a major to do. By the way, my cousin is now a Major in the Marines.
No sense of humor any more…sad, isn’t it??…k
Lou: A major to do with the Major?
Kris: There will be no chortling over the Navy’s pain.
