narfcake had a quick thing to say said Sun, Nov 25th 2018 at 11:50am ET

All good things must come to an end, and so must @jst1ofknd month of being blamed and unblamed.

So who in the commehnity is deserving of the gift of goatdom?

There are many reasons that @tnhillbillygal should be elected GoaT, but the latest one is for purchasing a $50 BagOfCarrots in hopes of getting something good - only a GoaT would actually believe it won’t be disappointing.

- Well, I was expecting the Tootsie Roll Owl but I guess Conor will do. They’ve not even shipped it yet so it could be getting better by the minute! (or worse by the minute but I’m being optimistic for my $50!)

  The Bose Soundsports were definitely worth the price paid! I actually don’t have a need for them as I don’t use in the ear audio devices so I’ve got them listed to sell in the hopes of selling them and then using the funds to buy the hubbie an older generation gopro for Christmas. If anybody here wants a good deal on these or wants to trade for a gopro, let me know and I’ll shoot you the ebay link
  
  The kids each found stuff they wanted in the box and the rams long sleeve thing will actually fit my husband which is outstanding and rare! The blanket I used as a background was also in the box and I really like it! Happy all the way around!
  
  I think I did pretty well with my crap!

I’m bad with interpreting social cues/interaction in general, but even worse in written form (which is why I generally avoid forums). So can someone please explain this “gift of goat” thing to me?

- @zinimusprime Every month, the community nominates a different mehmber to be the scapegoat of the month here. Nearly anything that goes wrong (or right) can be blamed (or unblamed) on the said scapegoat.
  
  Scapegoat of the Month – A Brief History
  
  At the beginning of the month, the nominee with the most votes gets goated. Although there’s a dedicated thread, the blames and unblames can happen anywhere on the forums here.
