Amid the numerous request for best places to take a tourist visitor and apartment advice, the Seattle community on LiveJournal occasionally turns up not only an interesting request, but people who seem to have an answer for seemingly impossible questions. Today is no exception:

Does anyone know of a service or a person who rent out goats for a few days? We’ve got a really bad himalayan blackberry and english ivy situation in our backyard and a goat or two would be the perfect way to take care of them in no time at all[lj]

Remarkably, instead of laughing, people respond with potentially helpful solutions!
Maybe people were especially sympathetic, given that the LiveJournal mascot is Frank the Goat [lj].
