Goat-fucking for fun and profit.
A little while ago I was chatting with a friend about the idea of "fucking the goat." It comes from this classic joke:
A man is sitting dejectedly on a hill in a small Irish town. When asked why the long face, he points to a bridge. "I built that bridge. I built many bridges in my life. Do they call me Paddy the bridge-builder? No." He points to a church. "I built that church. I built many churches in my life. Do they call me Paddy the church-builder? No." He points to the town hall. "I was the mayor for 20 years. Do they call me Paddy the Mayor? No." He shakes his head. "But you fuck just ONE goat..."

holzman brought this up in the context of how endorsing or justifying torture is a goat-fucking moment. I agree - but this post is far more frivolous, it's about fandom and fanfic!)
My friend I were talking about it applying to someone being stereotyped as a writer of "nothing but _____" even though there's only a couple of little pieces that fit this description in a much, much larger body of work--it's just that the stories of ______ type were so....memorable.
Doesn't matter who or what fandom or what type - I just want to know: have you fucked the goat? Do you think you might have? Do you know someone who has? What are some examples of potential or actual goat-fucking in your fandom?
And oh, no, I have never attempted to fuck the goat on purpose! One might have to write bizarre and squicky things to do that! I would never, I'm a lady! *has vapors*
Also, the funniest fucking (sans goat) thing I've read today?xylodemon's post on portmanteau pairing names involving Snape. With definitions. (So who's he with in the Sniglet ship? Is that another unfortunate Winnie the Pooh crossover?)
