You might be thinking this is a post about Bob Howry. Well it is not, kind of. You might be thinking this is a post about Z or Marquis. It not, kind of.
No, this post is about sacrificing a goat, more specifically the Cubs Goat.
[History: This might be boring]
Although many Hindus are vegetarian, there are some temples in India where goats and chickens are sacrificed. These sacrifices are mainly done at mandirs following the Shakti school of Hinduism where the female nature of Brahman is worshipped in the form of Kali Ma.
Kali Ma is a Hindu goddess associated with death and destruction. The name Kali means 'force of Kala or time' which makes all things transient. Despite her negative connotations, she is not actually the goddess of death, but rather of Time and Change.
The point: Hindus would sacrifice goats to bring about change. That is what this team needs is change. So I say we need to sacrifice the Cubs’ Goat.
So I propose we vote to see which goat gets it. Will it be Howry, Z, Marquis, or someone else. It should be cathartic and it would be nice to get all our frustrations out at once.
So vote and make your case for who we should sacrifice. Hopefully by tomorrow the Cubs will have won and all our frustrations will be tabled for a few days.
