A: FTGO stands for Free The Goat Organization. Started in 1954 by Marcel Frankfart near Denver, Colorado. Mr. Frankfart was saved from near certain death by a mountain goat when his hot air balloon encountered a flock of geese, one which punctured the top of the balloon. No one survived the crash in the mountains except for Frankfart who had broken both of his legs. Forced to survive on human flesh (dead crew members of the doomed hot air balloon flight included two Elvis impersonators and a circus midget), maddness was certain. On the brink of insanity, Frankfart spotted a scruffy mountain goat. The goat approached him with caution. Frankfart started yelling incoherently and this started to irritate the goat who proceeded to head bunt Frankfart repeatedly. By pure luck one such bunt knocked Frankfart over a cliff. This sent him tumbling down the mountain. Eventually, he rolled into the camp of Allan and Jessie Vertwin. "When I first saw him (Frankfart), I was certain he was dead. All his limbs were broken, some ribs were sticking out, and blood everywhere," recalled Mr. Vertwin. Frankfart survived the tumble and had the goat to thank for saving his life. "If it wasn't for that one act of unselfishness by that goat, I would have died," Frankfart told a crowd of reporters (about three) at a press confrence.
Two months later, Frankfart started the FTGO, an organization directed towards the release of all unfairly captured goats who would be better off free than captive. FTGO ranks were starting to compete with those of NATO till 'Nam. Since 'Nam though, FTGO has gone in a downward spiral.
One cold day in October of 1993, Frankfart died in action when slipped on some goat dung and he impaled himself on a pitchfork. He had freed six goats imprisoned against their will that night.
Finally in 2002, someone stood up to continue Frankfarts legacy. Jen Sads of a Northern Alberta town declared she would continue to stand up for the values that Frankfart had died for. She abdicated almost immediately. Before she did though, she appointed me, Fooman Goatballs, as lifetime President if she ever abdicated.
I embrace this position and look forward to continue to serving and aiding goats in need of freedom.
