So there was a goat. Pretty funny isn’t it your average goat. You know, the baaing, the horns, the shaggy coat, the tendency to eat anything that’s greens and doesn’t move and then the tendency to shit as they move, so all in all, it is a pretty absurd thing. So yeah, back to the point. Rather, back to the goat.

So this goat, he wasn’t just any goat. He was the Scapegoat. Well that’s who he is now. In an earlier time he was called Tannnypa, or Toothnipper. He was the kid of Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder, Thor’s chariot goats. You must be wondering why I say was. Well that’s because he was disowned, by his parents and the Aesir, the old Norse gods. Don’t ask why, oh, well I’ll give you a brief anyway. It involved a lot of mead, a couple of wood nymphs and the birth of a new and irritating race called Fauns.

Disowned by the Norse, he was picked up by the Jews. Strange isn’t it. Well, so here is old Tannypa, in the hands of the Yehudis. Not being the type for long toungue twisting names, they just called him Ychnip, pronounced Yecchhnip. For convenience’s sake lets just call him Nip.
