See you at the Finish Line.
We’ve noticed a homepage change at the Bagoo Toys website. They’ve announced an event that looks suspiciously like our favorite annual pastime. If you haven’t been following the goings-on at the company, now would be the time to check it out… 21 days and counting.
Teams FAO Sharkz and Shut Up have entered phase 2.2 of the pregame. Why do I tell you this? Because they rule, and I would hate to see them rubbing it in the other teams faces. But what can YOU do about it? Step up. Get on this pregame. According to the official Team Goat Ticker, the game is a mere 45 days, 20 hours, and 31 minutes away. You got to get the fat off! You got to get in shape! You got get your teams ready for the ULTRA-SLAM, DEATH-BATTLE, PUZZLE-COMBAT-KUNG-FU, SHIT-FLINGING, COFFEE-SNORTING, SUPER-KILL-RAY-MEGASPLOSIVE-ENTRAILIBRARIAN-
SARAHPALINTOGRAPHY-BWAAAARERRRRRRRRGATHONGILISTICKing GAME!
Still leading in the pregame, Team FAO Sharkz has completed the first puzzle of Pregame Phase 2 despite being sidetracked for a short while by a little national election and mercilessly heckled by Game Control for a full seven minutes. Allison Boland led the way with her uncanny knowledge of sports-related-psycholinguistic-alphanomanalysis, much to the chagrin of Captain Dave Hill. We at Game Control congratulate Team FAO Sharkz and wish them luck in the coming challenges.
The New York Times reported this story in June of this year. Once Team Goat discovers the location of that Beale treasure, we’re hiring this guy to build our lair:
Not your ordinary buffet...
Dave Hill and the members of the newly formed FAO Scharkz have completed the website portion of the pregame. NEEDLE THIS MAN FOR ANSWERS!
We’ve had some interesting responses to some of the puzzles, my favorite being the “Edit Hazy Puzz” idea… now I wish we’d actually done something with that.
Shouts out to Dave for finding new and exciting (though ultimately fruitless) ways to apply the phrase, “Genuine Monkey-Picked” to nearly everything in existence.
Shouts to FAO Scharkz for the best screenshot so far!
Keep up the good work all,

The Goat site is up and running, although the index page looks a little weird. Also, someone (probably one of those pesky hackers I always hear about) keeps posting this image everywhere:
I even received an email from these guys…
