🐐 February goat registration thread 🐐
16Welp, it seems like I'm being goated because I led a community decision last month. Also because of my name. Whatever. We're past that now. I'm not bitter. 😒
If it's going to be a Lotsofgoats goat month, then it may as well have lots of goats. That's you, maybe! Let's roleplay!
Me: Hey, want to be a goat for one day this month?
You: That sounds fun! It also sounds suspiciously like you're trying to get out of putting in any effort!
Me: ¯\_(ツ)/¯
You: ...so you don't even deny that this is a blatant scam?
Me: ¯\(ツ)_/¯
You: ...so why would anybody do this?
Me: I'll give you twenty bucks.
You: How cheap do you thi-... no, okay, I'm totally in.
THE RULES:
You take scapegoat responsibilities for a day, applying your individual goat style or theme for 24 hours. At the end of the month, we'll do a good old-fashioned star vote for the best executed goatery. If you win, I'll mail you twenty real totally not counterfeit United States dollars!
You: But wait, I don't want some creep like you having my address!
Then I'll email you a damn gift card of your choosing, sheesh. Calm yourself.
Registration is FIFO. If you want to claim a specific theme, do it here so nobody can copy yours like a punk. If not enough people want to fight over $20 (DOUBTFUL LOL) then I'll cover the leftover days, but I have faith in you my little goaties.
FOLLOW ME TO YOUR POTENTIAL VICTORY MAYBE

That's a bold strategy. It's been mentioned before but nobody ballsy enough to try and execute. I've served a month already so I'll pass. Good luck.
@studerc I dunno if you've ever seen a goat in person (in goat?) but I would definitely describe them as ballsy
And don't be surprised when Meh reduces your goat prize incrementally for every day you shirk your responsibilities and some other sucker stands in for a chance to win $20 - or awards the fuku and the trophy outright to whoever wins the $20.
@MrsPavlov Or maybe Meh will cut up the goat trophy into 29 pieces (are there that many suckers wanting to be goat?). I bet @Moose is a lot better with a saw than he is with the dremel engraving bit.
@Barney Why waste a perfectly meh goat trophy when there's a speaker dock that can be smashed into 29 pieces?
@narfcake If you're gonna be a goat, you should get a goat trophy, no matter what part of the goat it is.
@MrsPavlov @Barney hey hey hey now this is hard work
@Lotsofgoats Yeah, and I have a fence you can whitewash, too, Tommy boy.
@Barney Purplewashed.
But what if I don't want some creep like you having my email address!
On account of this shirtgoat skipping out a few days during my reign, I'll play along.
(I hope you folks like catshirts!)
@narfcake looks like you've got a 100% chance to win so far. playing the odds, smart!
@Lotsofgoats FIFO, so I guess I'm up tonight?
@narfcake yep you get 2/2
@Lotsofgoats Goathog day! Or is that groundgoat day?
Well fuck it, I'm in for giggles. We will call it, Death by Gif. You can already assume I won't be nice and accepting of the blame (but perhaps @narfcake will score some good shirts that day).
@jaremelz It's been dry recently, so any find would be good. Yeah, there was one at the Upland Goodwill, but it wasn't worth the $1.29.
@narfcake upland?
@Cerridwyn https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upland,_California
@narfcake Oh I know where it is. I can't quite throw a rock and hit it anymore since I moved over to Redlands.
@Cerridwyn Ah. That one isn't the closest one here, but close enough. I mostly visit West Covina, Rowland Heights, Diamond Bar, Pomona, Chino, and Chino Hills. I pretty much stopped bothering with OC Goodwill stores, though. $2.99 for t-shirts? Oy!
@narfcake It's rare to find folk that have even heard of many of the communities out here so it always catches my eyes
@Cerridwyn I know there are other mehricans here in SoCal, but seeing how spread out it is, any sort of meetup is probably out of the question.
@narfcake I dunno, maybe you should start a thread :)
@jaremelz you gots 2/3
Congrats @lotsofgoats! Not on the goathood, but on figuring out a way to make everyone else be goat for you.
@Thumperchick - Yay, been missing you!
@connorbush okay cool so we'll make a package deal with two sharks, you and @connerbush are in for 2/17 and I look forward to working with both of you
@Lotsofgoats I swore I would not return after my announced departure. What the shit?!
@Lotsofgoats I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Good Day. @connerbush calm down ya old bag of cats.
@connorbush wtf bro they LOVE package deals on that show how are you going to break character like this THIS IS SUCH A BIG OPPORTUNITY YOU CAN MAKE (HALF OF) ALL THE DOLLARS
@connerbush sry buckaroo looks like your worse half is flaking out, NO DEAL
@Lotsofgoats damn goat. to be honest though; I am starting a new job that week in which 70% of what I do involves driving.... No time to goat. I will most definitely be around to blame people for stuff and things for that, I am out.
oh sure. what the hell. i'm in. i haven't told anyone to fuck off in a really long time.
@carl669 definitely a lie but you're in
@carl669
@carl669 I know what this day is going to look like.
Sounds like fun!
@jaremelz I couldn't resist.
@mfladd But only if YOU wear the apron. You know why.
@carl669 you get to make 2/7 an unholy sabbath
@Lotsofgoats yay! i'm the Superbowl Goat!
@carl669 oh my, seems like a pretty sweet day to take the blame
@carl669 Superb Owl goat.
@narfcake
I think I'll take a day- I promise to do my best impression of a Comcast/other company with shitty service rep.
@dashcloud or a sales rep?
@dashcloud @Lotsofgoats how about a minecraft player?
@legendornothing Cringe inbound
@dashcloud please report for duty on 2/8
All I want is to be the LEAP GOAT! (I'm always lurking around, not posting a lot.
But, once ever four years....BAAAAA!
@Ellipse hey, remember the eighteeeeeeeeees?
@thismyusername Yes, and they were not all that BAAAAAAAAAAAAAd.
@Ellipse feel free to leap into your goatery on 2/9
@Lotsofgoats Not to complain, but the LEAP GOAT should be on 2/29 since it is a LEAP year....
(see, a whole extra day of being a scape goat! I can do it MMAAAAAAHHHHH way)
Yo @Lotsofgoats, though you may be passing your duties off to others throughout the month, the badge sticks with you for the entirety of the month.
@MEHcus no worries, I figured that would be the case
some of us are born leaders
@Lotsofgoats Your definition of Leaders - All of the responsibility and none of the blame. Right. Oh wait. You have delegated the responsibility too. Opps.
Can I be goat for a day?
I don't goat on Fridays though.
@sammydog01 bawww ok
@sammydog01 2/4 is yours since you're so complicated and don't do Fridays sheesh
I'd be goat for a day. My theme/style (as mehtizens from January 2015 can testify) is to be a shitty and inattentive goat. I can do that another day, no problem. I'll randomly post gifs, say "fuck" a few times, etc.
@joelmw do you want... that day?
@Lotsofgoats It's his birthday- of course he wants to spend it being a goat.
@Lotsofgoats @sammydog01 I'd take either. Valentine's Day is awesome (despite what the haters say) and if anything I'm a triskaidekaphiliac. Besides, the 13th should rightly be seen as VD eve, an honorable day indeed.
@joelmw ok you officially have 2/14 then
@Lotsofgoats I promise to perform poorly with an aftertaste of distinctly undistinguished mediocrity.
I'm done
@Cerridwyn so... are you in or are you in?
@Lotsofgoats A geek girl never spins and tells
@Lotsofgoats Ugh. Fine. Put me down. This is all your fault. This is why we can't have nice things.
@lumpthar yes this is definitely my fault. in any case, you have 2/11.
well, looks like we've made it to the end of my reign of peace and prosperity. I hope you've all learned something.
and remember, together we can Make Goats Lots Again.
@Lotsofgoats
@Lotsofgoats
Good job passing the buck :)
@Lotsofgoats Good job, goat. Good job.
@Lotsofgoats Hey watch out for.......nevermind.
@jaremelz driving
we did it!
that's a royal we, by the way.
Congratulations and great job, @Lotsofgoats. I may be the only one, but I thought your proxy goat program was a great idea! Lots of people had fun, and you got to play too. Carry on.
@mfladd That's a car, but why do I feel like the one thrown under a bus?
@Lotsofgoats You did good, goat. But I think you owe @narfcake twenty bucks.
@sammydog01 wow this is a democracy not a dictatorship
ok maybe it's more of an oligarchy but that's not the point here, the point is we have a thread for that now
@Lotsofgoats I'll play along since I suggested it in the first place :)
@stardate820926 ok you get stardate 160212
@Lotsofgoats
I blame @jaremelz for the dearth of independent thought and the disenfranchisement of the voting public brought about by the two-party system
@Lotsofgoats Hey, don't put this shit on me, I've been spreading the word. Although, maybe my sparsely worded campaign has everyone thinking I'm running, and that's why they are flocking AWAY from the polls.
Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these months you'd like to meet
To go over everything
@brandon hi! ok!
@thismyusername Love that one. This song also deserves the original vid.
@thismyusername I love those Fallon bits. They always make me happy.
let's keep this going... SNL thanksgiving hello...
@thismyusername
@brandon you have 2/5
@mfladd annnnd I can't watch that video without thinking of this
@mfladd Oooh. I'm working on a mad ape den version. Hopefully I'll get a chance to finish before everyone realizes we need one.
@christinewas
sorry for the delay. I have pings off.
Is this some scam to get them to generate 29 goat prizes?
OK, I am not really sure how to play, I am fairly new here. Please someone explain? Choose a theme for what? And only for one day, right?
@zahita459 so on 2/10 you are going to take the blame for any and all things (especially things that get blamed on me!) and you're going to apologize for them in whatever way you see fit
easy peasy!
@zahita459 @lotsofgoats is skirting his nominated scapegoats duties by pawning it off to whomever wants to accept it for a day. You will be blamed. You will be cursed at. You will accept that, respond, and all the while putting your own spin to keep the community engaged.
@Lotsofgoats OK, sounds .... interesting .... to say the least. What was the bit about the theme? Or is that the apology part? I work 2-9 that day, so will do my best around it.
@narfcake @narfcake That's engaged, with a "g" right? Not enraged? Hehehe....
@zahita459 makes a note to dig out the goats in coats pictures...
@zahita459 Engaged, enraged ... either way!
Okay. I did a little research to see if there would be enough gifs for me to fulfill a day of goathood, and I think I can do it. I won't reveal the theme here, but I am more than confident that no one will have that theme.
So, any days left?
@Teripie so many days left... how's 2/18 work for ya?
@Teripie Got it!
This is bogus! You can't just shirk your goatly duties this way! I'm going to go out of my way to blame you and only you for something every day remaining in the month!
Curse you and your lazy goathood, @Lotsofgoats!
@jqubed cc @narfcake
@jqubed I'm just the shirtgoat. @Lotsofgoats is the scapegoat.
@narfcake
@Lotsofgoats Curse you for me forgetting to blame you for something!
@Lotsofgoats Curse you for burning up the blower motor in my furnace and having it take out the control board with it! That was expensive!
@Lotsofgoats Curse you for me still being at the grocery store when my guests arrived at my house this evening!
@Lotsofgoats Curse you for the Panthers loss, especially the horrible replay review!
I rounded the corner to see my fucking bus speed by 7 minutes early today (goddamned newbie driver probably). So then I had to walk back home, fire up the car, deal with traffic, get in 20 minutes late. Thanks, @jaremelz.
@joelmw My bus actually looks more like this.
@joelmw You can't blame me for this one, I was driving the bus and heard Trump was in the road up ahead.
@jaremelz Sigh. If only. I mean, if only it had been him.
@jaremelz I don't know if this disturbing image has been posted elsewhere in the forums (makes sense that it would have been), but look, there he is in the middle of the goddamned road.
@joelmw That's outstanding!
I'm waiting to see if someone remembers what they said about leap years....
So people want more games with no winners... I can do that again ;) oh If I win the $20, you can apply it to Extra life under my name... :) I should start getting donations again...
@sohmageek hmmmmmmmm ok I suppose you get 2/6 then
It's a heavy responsibility but I might be able to shoulder it, after the 16th if possible. Yes, please.
@OldCatLady Oh God, a full day of half naked men in exotic locations. Nice to see you again :)
@mfladd But I was going to do half naked men in exotic locations. That's OK, I'll find something else.
@sammydog01 You get half naked women in exotic locations. That's what it says here on the schedule for 2/4. What? Fair is fair!
@OldCatLady ok you get 2/17 for all the burly man shoulders you want
@sammydog01 There are plenty of men to go around, so I'm delighted to share the theme. Go to it! Then I'll toss in a few female images just to spread the blame, and we'll have a winner. Wiener. Whatever.
NOTE: for those not participating, be sure to blame the hell out of our contestants so we can properly judge them.
@Lotsofgoats Be sure to try, you mean.
damn you @jaremelz for making me come in here and figure out who the goat for today is. you should have been on top of this and sent an email out to everyone.
@carl669 Hey man, I didn't come up with this convoluted fuckery, I just jumped on the pile.
And if it's soooo hard to get your little butt in here....
Love ya, man!
RULE CHANGE
since far fewer of you are cheap dates than I expected, we'll rotate goatery around a few times or whatever until we all get bored with this stunt
exciting!
PS I'll take the first say so you suckers can get full days, since we know we get a bit of lag in the goat turnover period
ok bye!
wtf how do I already have the goat
although tbh it looks fabulous on me
@Lotsofgoats It's February in all time zones now.
So fukobukoros are absolutely beautiful right? I mean I've missed all of the last three (slowly dying on the inside by the way) but like I remember in the one last April, someone got goat feed. And it didn't make sense to me then, but it might now... Was it @studerc ? Was he the recipient? Because that would make SO much more sense. I didn't understand the joke then; but I might now...
@legendornothing I received goat feed in my FUKU but it was September 2014. https://meh.com/forum/topics/my-fuku-other-thing-shipment
tbh I want @AttyVette to sign up for a day
@Lotsofgoats I respect her desire not to be goated.
@narfcake luckily it's but a single day! this is a goat plan we can all agree upon!

I'm glad we did this cuz I'm sick affffffffff
keep going my little goaties ilu
@Lotsofgoats so it says my name. But the goat icon doesn't get passed around. Is it that our mediocre overlords do not approve of this, it doesn't amuse them as much as you, or perhaps it's not irksome enough to bother them more than it should. You are still getting my blame... But first prizes...
@sohmageek the icon sticks with @Lotsofgoats but you know who is to blame for that right...
looks like my first official day of duty, I'm ready to handle anyt-...
:::SIGNAL LOST:::
@lotsofgoats I hear @mfladd has asked for at least one day this month.
@dashcloud
I think @mfladd would have had picked the 16th, but the post vanished on the 15th.
(I blame @lotsofgoats for that)
@mfladd - you're welcome ;)
@FroodyFrog @dashcloud
What?
@mfladd
(Shhh.)
@Ignorant
@mfladd
Everyone knows that if you see a wall which says Run written in blood, that you just sit down by that wall and wait.
(If i had the ability, i would redo a lot of the shows/movies on Chiller)
@FroodyFrog I will get you either way. It's just a matter of time.
@mfladd
Is that a threat, promise, or challenge?
;)
@FroodyFrog
@mfladd
Fair enough.
idk what's going on
@Lotsofgoats don't make eye contact and slowly back away.
@Lotsofgoats
Basically, @mfladd joined the (growing) list of people out to get me.
@FroodyFrog Nah...I actually like your spunk. But I will eat you if need be. Just say'n :)
@mfladd I have never seen a more perfect goat related gif. Well played.
@Thumperchick but somebody used this one I think while you were out and it's probably even more goaty
@Lotsofgoats That's where I rolled your ass.
@mfladd and den I punch u
@Lotsofgoats gif please, talk is cheap
@mfladd
@Lotsofgoats nice. I love the straggler at the end.
@mfladd I like your shorts
Based on work schedule the only day I could commit (full on hell) is the 29th (Sohma's day). So sad - not really.
@mfladd
Totally unacceptable.
@FroodyFrog I know. Too bad.
@mfladd
Hey @mfladd you can be one of the two in this gif, which will it be? You've got nothing going on, I'm giving you the 26th. Mark it down, @lotsofgoats!
@jaremelz Fuck. The 26th - Fine, I will make it work. Prepare for hell, and an ass beating.
@mfladd oh, did I do a bad thing? Oops!
And don't beat yourself up, that's what I'll be here for.
@jaremelz @mfladd
I can wait until the 26th to release a load against the goat. I've been holding stuff in thus far.
@FroodyFrog Just let it go against @Lotsofgoats. He deserves it. Then come back for more :)
@mfladd
I'd rather let it brew up in me so that I can have a big release.
@FroodyFrog You are making me blush.
@mfladd
I just reread what I wrote, and I'm torn between several reactions.
Congratulations, you and @jaremelz have managed to have an impact on me.
@FroodyFrog and @mfladd. Um....yeah. ..I'll just leave you to it then.
(I just....woah, what did I just walk into?)
@jaremelz
@thismyusername had a great suggestion for @Lotsofgoats which may help you:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/-february-goat-registration-thread-#56c53b2f6df9b58403673bda
@FroodyFrog
@jaremelz you weren't in hurry were you?
@mfladd And the second the doors open, RUUUUUUNNNN!!!
@jaremelz
Another person who doesn't understand how a lot of horror movies are interpreted incorrectly.
In this case, take a sofa cushion,and ride the waves.
And while riding the waves, take a champagne glass and drink from the current.
After all, you ARE part vampire.
@FroodyFrog Back away from the mirror....Trust Me.
@FroodyFrog re: reaction.
@mfladd
Well, i could do with some cookies right about now. So...
@mfladd
Tell ya what. In the future, I'll TRY not to respond to posts of yours which i see contain at least 1 gif (or a picture, or a meme etc) for ~ 2 minutes.
Edit: Well THAT'S ironic.
@FroodyFrog You need to give me time to finish my gif'ing.. Stop getting off so quick.
@FroodyFrog
@mfladd
(Well at least @Hollboll can't ruin Cookie Monster for me the way she ruined Elmo.)
idk what's going on still
@Lotsofgoats
If you figure out it, please explain it to me (in simple words (if possible))
@Lotsofgoats
I figured it out.
I was in a strange mood early this morning. (And something about purple chipmunks...)
@FroodyFrog I doubt your name is Alice, but this seems relevant:
https://www.threadless.com/product/4457/Stop_Please
Also while I'm on the subtopic of shirts, TeeTurtle is having their birthday sale, so Antisocial is $12 now, in case you still want it.
@FroodyFrog That's called blotter acid. I am guessing you were listening to Jefferson Airplane too.
@narfcake
Tempting. I shall consider it.
@mfladd - nah.
@FroodyFrog I can have Amazon Now deliver a duck and a hose in an hour?
@narfcake
Sadly Amazon Now doesn't deliver to my lilypond at this point (nor to my tree, since i prefer being surrounded by foliage to being on water)
So is there a lookup table or something? Who do I blame?
@thismyusername I believe it should be the responsibility of the official goat to announce who to blame each morning.
Get on it, @lotsofgoats!
@jaremelz You trust a goat so lazy that other folks have to substitute in?
Anyways, I've got:

@narfcake someone promised someone the leap year day... We'll see if it happens.
@thismyusername @jaremelz @narfcake hey, don't blame me!
@thismyusername @lotsofgoats @narfcake It's too much for me to comprehend, I blame you all. Tomorrow I'll blame @jaremelz, too. (But she bites back, so that could be dangerous.)
@sligett
@sligett @jaremelz uses .gifs. I use catshirts to convey messages.
http://www.ripndipclothing.com/products/lord-nermal-black
lol wait how did I skip four days for no reason oops
oh right it was cuz of OCL but I forgot to swap back afterwards
Nobody's got 2/14 yet? You'd think that would be an easy day to come up with a theme...
@melwin I meannnn I guessssssss if anybody wants a specific day then they can have it
(which would mean @Ellipse gets the 29th)
PS @dave I do not consent to this misuse of my day!
@Lotsofgoats I can't do the 13th because 13 is a bad number.
@melwin idk 13 seems fine to me but in that case just don't do the 13th!
@melwin you wanna take the 9th so I can bump @Ellipse to the 29th? or do you wanna take the 14th so you can poo-poo on @joelmw's birfday and then I can stick him with the 13th? >:D
@Lotsofgoats I can do both/either as well.
@Lotsofgoats I don't want to poo-poo on anyone's birthday! I'll take the 13th since it's the next day available and it's VD eve, so that's close enough.
wait so is it me again? I'll be sure to get right on that tomorrow
@Lotsofgoats I can't get a pedicure appointment until this afternoon, and it's your fault.
@Lotsofgoats
http://www.teeturtle.com/products/super-lazy
@OldCatLady I'll be sure to look into that in a timely manner
@narfcake I still LOVE this pic! Virtual stars coming your way.
@mfladd I actually passed on getting that shirt on account that I already have a Ramy sloth from his other site:
http://lookcuter.com/products/procrastinator
I did pick up another catshirt, though:
http://www.teeturtle.com/products/unlucky
(I see it as a followup design to Lucky at Last.)
My theme is shitty click baits and posting shit where they shouldn't be placed... MY ASS IS READY TO BE FISTED
@legendornothing ohhh, darn. All the spots are filled. They filled up as you kept posting worthless garbage on the forums.
@studerc deep deep deep sigh got any aloe vera?
@legendornothing
