Have you seen the missing goat files?
By Caroline King


The topsy-turvey blogworld of the girls who created http://themissinggoatfiles.blogspot.com is hilarious and quirky. I stumbled across their blog by accident and once I started snooping around it, I was hooked! Their preamble is even attention grabbing “The G.O.A.T Files: These are the missing files of the Glorified, Opinionated, Angry Tampon-wearers!” Although I know a lot of guys who would be somewhat squeamish with the latter part of that description…

The template of the blog is extraordinarily average but the colour scheme is femininely pleasant and spiced up with wacky photos of goats with braces, and Rhodent girls strutting around campus in night gowns, slippers and hair curlers. Touché on having the spunk to walk around Rhodes looking like trailer trash! Seriously, the power to laugh at oneself and set oneself up for being the butt of a joke is admirable.

They have a penchant for using some less-than-lady-like language, even in their quiz they use the word ‘fuck’. I know this is aimed at students and most students like to let loose and pretend that they are rebels, but out of respect for people with milder vocabularies I think they could have toned it down a little. These young women clearly take their slogan to heart and express their “angry-tampon-wearer-ness”

This blog has vast amounts of energy and personality and the team seems to have worked hard on it, overall these G.O.A.T Files were worth taking the time to read.
