Just a great combination of two fantastic performers. Strange how well they sound together.

By the way, if you listen to the audio clip, check the volume control, which goes up to 11.

I only watched a bit but it made me ask "isn't there a ditch around here somewhere?".

Wouldn't an empty Coke bottle and a funnel accomplish the same function and be a lot cheaper?
LBYM thinking here....

A man dressed in a goat suit was spotted on a mountainside north of Ogden, Utah.
Observed by a photographer, he was clambering on hands and knees, trailing a herd of mountain goats.
Officials said there was nothing illegal about it, but they worried about his safety as the hunting season approached. Additionally, he might also be endangered by the real goats (who was he thinking he was fooling?).
Details are here.

No, that's not weird at all. That could have been me, but it cost me less than $150 to have an exterminator to pay 2 visits. He applied a powdery insecticide to a crack that allowed the bees to build a hive inside a recess that was part of an ornamental alcove on the 2nd story.
I felt bad about killing this colony because I had read about how bees were dying for some reasons, and they were getting scarce. Also, these weren't the feared Africanized type. I did not know how big the hive was, as it was inside the hollow of the wall. The hive would have deteriorated by now, but I have not seen any stain inside or outside the home.
About the goat-man, here's a follow-up. The unidentified goat-man called the media and asked to be left alone. He was a Canadian bow hunter who was trying out his goat-suit, in preparation for a real hunt up in Canada later.
Obviously, his goat-suit did work to allow him to get close enough to the goats for a potential shot.

Actually, I read he was from southern California, which explains so much just by itself.

I stand corrected. The article I read said the hunter was planning for a Canadian hunt, and I jumped to the conclusion that he was a Canuck.
Anyway, the peril of being shot down by other hunters is real. I once read that a farmer had a pastime of putting up a steel silhouette of a deer up on a hill and watching hunters crawling up to take shots at it. Multiple shots of course, as the "deer" kept standing.
Don't know if it was true or not, but it surely conjured up funny images in my mind.

Well ,I guess make sure your goat suit is of a gender of which you are prepared to reap the consequences of... I wouldn't want to fight one of those smelly old billies , or be loved by one either.
What people will do for a dusty old trophy.

Florida man dies after winning roach-eating contest - CNN.com
Excerpt from the above link:
A 32-year-old man downed dozens of roaches and worms to win a python at a Florida reptile store, then collapsed and died outside minutes later. I searched a bit more, and found some other links that quoted some experts saying that eating roaches should not kill people, especially these that were clean, meaning "farm raised" to be fed to pets such as frogs. Test results will not be available for some time. The only theory ventured was that this man was allergic to roaches, and went into anaphylactic shock. However, people said that he had done this before.
In the search, I happened to run across another death in a weird contest.
In 2007, a 28-year-old mother of three died after participating in a California radio station contest called "Hold Your Wee for a Wii," where she tried to drink large quantities of water without urinating in order to win a gaming console.

Smugglers tried driving an SUV over the US-Mexico border fence with ramps, but got stuck. They obviously failed to see that the car would not have enough clearance to get over the triangular top of the ramps!
See: Smugglers try driving over US border fence, get stuck.

So, he can serve as a judge, just not judge people like himself?
Texas judge William Adams suspended over video beating to be reinstated | News | National Post
Quote:
The justices reinstated Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams on Tuesday, a year after they suspended him with pay when a video of him beating his daughter became an Internet sensation.
Adams is scheduled to preside over cases on the regular court docket Wednesday in Rockport, Aransas County District Clerk Pam Heard told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times for an article in Sunday’s edition.
However, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services will no longer present him with cases involving violence against children.
