Twitter Thread: Biquette The Goat Rocking Out With Punk Bands

Sometimes, you see something on twitter that just makes you pause. Like when we saw that video of a dolphin freaking out over Mariah Carey's high note, or when we saw that picture of reindeer whose antlers were painted with reflective paint to allow people to see them better when driving, or that other picture of a mouse-deer that looks like a badly drawn dog. 

Some things on twitter just make you stop and reflect on life. And the two photos we saw of Biquette the goat rocking out with punk bands made us do just that. She lived the life of a celebrity. After getting rescued by a group of punks, she decided to join their lifestyle, and she had 10 long years of partying and being generally awesome.

    Product - Daniel Pietersen @pietersender ... Biquette the goat, sold to an abattoir after she stopped producing milk but was rescued by punks and then spent 10 years watching grindcore bands. She could come and go as she pleased and, in the words of her rescuers, "escaped death, lived punk". Absolute legend.

    This story feels too unlikely even for a Disney movie. If it were turned into anything, it would probably be some HBO-like show, with kings and queens and abattoirs that need to be slain. Honestly, we would watch that, because we know that this punk goat would kick ass.

    Font - Nichoul BNJ ... @NichoulB Replying to @pietersender I knew Biquette. She was great ! We had to hide our tobacco or weed. She loved staying near the oven when we prepaired pizzas. She loved grind core, crust or metal but didn't like punk-rock ! 7:31 AM - Dec 23, 2021 Twitter Web App

    That's the only thing that bothers us about this story really - is the fact that she was exposed to so many substances. But hey, she was a rock star, and that comes with issues like these quite often. People in these tweets have given their accounts of how happy she seemed, so as long as she wasn't being held there against her will, we will remember her as the legend that she was.

    Nature - Rabies Babies @rb_punk Replying to @pietersender We played at Mauriac 10 years ago, Biquette came on stage with us and stole our drummer's beer. (Sadly we have no photo evidence of this, but this was earlier in the day, when we were setting up). 1:08 PM - Dec 23, 2021 - Twitter Web App

    Font - Joyce @Joycieface Replying to @pietersender Oh god I just read her story and she lived so unhealthy during her time at the space Imao (she loved tobacco and alcohol and sometimes ate paint from the bottoms of cans and died about 10 years early) but she was happy and lived as she pleased so good for her 10:40 AM - Dec 22, 2021 - Twitter for iPhone 107 Retweets 15 Quote Tweets 4,950 Likes
