Hogan's talking goat was quite the attraction to ALL the civic "doin's" that went on around
Calhoun County. Hogan was unpredictable, as to when and where he'd show up, but if he
did, the goat was there. The goat could also deal cards, which was always a crowd pleaser,
and played well into the Gambling Association's various promotions around the county. Funny
thing about both these talents, was that Hogan did not train the goat. The goat just did these
things naturally, since a kid. Hogan, a man whose looks were none too inviting, had a daughter
with Grunda Fulpants, a woman with enormous and attractive ankles, but was otherwise not very
good looking. As a result, things did not go well, and their progeny was hardly distinguishable
from Hogan's goat. The poor child had a beard to rival Abe Lincoln's by the age of six and generally
smelled bad too. But the girl could cook, and sell the hell out of mushrooms down at the stand
along the Fecklersburg highway. As most will remember, Grunda organized the Uvula League,
whose primary purpose was to promote proper pronunciation of the letter "I" in public speaking.
They played a big part in both the pre AND post-race festivities around the Chugwater Regatta,
even after the big scandal.
