It's A Sad And Beautiful World

sometimes I get so sad
sometimes you just make me mad



it's a sad and beautiful world
it's a sad and beautiful world



sometimes I just won't go
sometimes I can't say 'no'



it's a sad and beautiful world
it's a sad and beautiful world



sometimes days go speeding past
sometimes this one seems like the last



it's a sad and beautiful world
it's a sad and beautiful world

British Army Demotes Mascot Goat, Billy

A British army regiment's ceremonial pet goat was demoted in disgrace after it marched out of line before a host of dignitaries during a parade to mark Queen Elizabeth II's birthday, a military spokesman said Saturday.

The military mascot, a 6-year-old male goat called Billy, was downgraded from the rank of lance corporal to fusilier — the same status as a private — after army chiefs ruled his poor display had ruined the ceremony earlier this month at a British army base in Episkopi, western Cyprus.

Gerard Cosloy is not pictured above but another Cosloy is and, please, let us have a moment of silence for the Dead Milkmen's Dave Blood. Seriously.
