Anti-boredom month; pro-goat blame month (July 2019 nominations)

narfcake thought this was worth mentioning said Tue, Jun 25th 2019 at 11:28pm ET

One of the two may or may not be true, but that’s for you to decide. Anyway, June is coming to a close and we can’t keep our current goat @tinamarie1974 taking all the blames and/or unblames forever now, can we?

It’s time for a new goat – so nominate away!

  Now that’s the way you nominate a Goat. Especially when you are the Goat.
  
  But just in case tagging doesn’t work when the cow says it: @cinoclav, your ~~doom~~ day has come.

  @cinoclav has gotten out of GoaTly duties for far too long. I believe it is time to have a Philly GoaT who is pro Jimmies!
  
  It is time my brother from another mother. Just close your eyes - it will be over before your know it.

  Ex-goats have to individually request the “dead goat” badge.

  Laziness?
  
  Dislike of the ex-Goat badge?
  
  Or someone wanting to automatically do a visual check that their VMP badge/status is still operative?

  That is #fakenews and incorrect. It is incumbent on the goat emeritus to opt out. A small distinction, but a pertinent one.

- @cinoclav @f00l @mfladd @therealjrn When the dead goat badge was first offered, we had to request it, if we wanted it. I opted to keep my K badge, as did @medz. A couple or so decided to keep their V’s. One person was too lazy to email their decision.

- @f00l TC sent you an email about the “new” badge and gave you the option to get one. Nowadays the emeritus goat automatically gets the dead goat badge unless they request otherwise.

- @tinamarie1974 Since it always seems to be the first nominee ends up with the most votes and gets goated, I’m thinking I should prepare myself. I hope everyone expects the FuckItAllGoat. You’ll be blamed in perpetuity.

I nominate that fairly regular, and helpful poster @kuoh. They have a knack for providing pertinent information and they always sign their posts “KuoH” which is pretty cool.

- @aetris I wish I had better insider information for you. We go in June. We stay at the same Brighton Suites two blocks off the boardwalk. We go for the beach, my wife and daughter Love it. We spend way too much money to win crappy plastic prizes at the arcade. We like to get frozen treats and eat them on the boardwalk. The food at the Dogfish Head Brewery isn’t worth the wait. The food at Summer House is. The Best place on this side of the Atlantic for authentic fish n chips is also the most violently American. It’s called Go Fish and I wish I had a more illustrative photo.

- @aetris @Nate311 Normally, the best time to hit the beaches in De, Lewes, Rehoboth, or Dewey, is right before the season starts or right after. You miss most of the major crowds, but everything is still open. I stay away from O.C. MD the same way.
