GOATS - that sent my mind racing in so many directions. But! Also very interesting is the signature: Bernard Google

Not only was/is there a Brotherhood but there is a Sisterhood as well.

The bottom of the card says read the Chicago Herald and Examiner every day for Chapter News. Was this a ploy to increase readership/profits for the newspaper? Who was the owner at that time?

William Randolph Hearst

So this Barney Google was a cartoon strip by Billy De Beck.....

That seemed to go nowhere (for now) but then my friend reminded me of this, the Chicago Red Sox Curse. What is it with Chicago and Goats?

Here is the story: The Curse of the Billy Goat was a sports curse that was supposedly placed on the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise in 1945, by Billy Goat Tavern owner William Sianis. The curse lasted 71 years, from 1945 to 2016. During Game 4 of the 1945 World Series at Wrigley Field, Sianis's pet goat, named Murphy, was bothering other fans, and so the pair were asked to leave the stadium. Outraged, Sianis allegedly declared, "Them Cubs, they ain't gonna win no more", which had been interpreted to mean that the Cubs would never win another National League (NL) pennant, at least for the remainder of Sianis's life. (From Wikipedia)

I really don't know where I am going with this.🤪 But the goats! Then I remembered this little nugget.

Another Secret Society

Goat - Baphomet? Curse? I got nothing. Hoping one of you can help link this together. And one more thing. I found this Masonic symbol 👇🏻

Then I thought about "goat carts" and children. Think Little Rascals (if you have been down that rabbit hole). There are SO many photos. There has to be a connection somewhere.

I seem to remember a goat cart or just a goat in Little Rascals. Anyone remember that?

Then there is the whole deal with Bush Jr, reading I Pet Goat on 9/11. Like I said. So many directions. The mystery of the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of the Goat continues. Hopefully one of you can contribute.
