Almost time to roll back to goat time (November 2019 nominations)

narfcake thought this was worth mentioning said Sun, Oct 27th 2019 at 9:31pm ET

Daylight savings time is nearing the end for most states, and so is @aetris’ term as the pizza goat. It’s not the first time the community thanks a mehmber doing a great job by goating them, and it won’t be the last.

So after the ghosts, goblins, and candy, who’s next to take the blame?

  @stolicat There’s no set rule of having to do anything special. Some goats have done so to liven things up in the community, but it’s not mandatory during one’s ~~sentence~~ term.

I nominate @junaidsadik because they don’t know what the meh button is for, and are presumably new, so being goated would add to their confusion about this whole mediocre thing.

f00l said Mon, Oct 28th 2019 at 10:34am ET:

Please note that the current Goat, @aetris, no doubt wanting to be free of the terrible Goat Burden, is voting for every nominee offered up.

Blame for this act is offered here:

https://meh.com/forum/topics/2spoopy5goat---october-2019-scapegoat-blame#5db6fb90032c7309f45c276c

OTOH I felt inspired by this, and jumping in to do likewise

So, @aetris Goat, you are pretty much getting a net zero on the blame meter here.

  At least I’m pretty sure I don’t have to worry about it, as @ybmuG seems to have it locked (and I voted for him just to hedge my bets). But, if I ever do have this ‘honor’ foisted upon me, I can guarantee you I will be the worst. goat. ever. (And I fully realize that that guarantee may be taken by some as a challenge and thereby increase my chances of achieving goatdom.)

Shrdlu said Tue, Oct 29th 2019 at 6:29pm ET:

I have nothing to say on the topic of who is going to be the next goat. I voted on my choice, and on comments (but not other choices). I’ve been looking at various topics, trying to decide where to put this fascinating youtube entry, and finally decided to just leave it here. It’s longish (over 20 minutes), but worthwhile.

- @Shrdlu We had a red tail hawk hang out in our back yard a few years ago. It had been injured by flying into a power line, so a local bird rehab sanctuary came and picked it up.
  
  They are majestic but quite scary birds when you get close up.
