There never any question about who/what was in charge...it was
always the billy goat!!!!
Actually, with the billy goat/brierpatch encounter,
it was more like those poor sods that paniced and
held onto the blimp's groundline and were inadvertantly
yanked up into the air and to their death. If I'd let go
of the controls more quickly, the machine would have
only been
half-buried in the Greenbrier. As it turned
out, I didn't let go soon enough and was dragged,
kicking and screaming into the brier.
I barely escaped with my life.
SWMBO had to come in from the downhill side of the
brierpatch with Shiva the brushcutter and free the
danged machine.
