April 30th - "A Galactic Month In Review"
10A Galactic Month in Review
Well my friends, this is it. The last day of April, and Galactic Goat’s last day as official Meh Scapegoat (of course the Galactic Goat will continue to accept all blames until Monday morning when your May Goat is named).
For me personally, it’s been a roller coaster ride of fun, friends, and family crisis. Although my first commitment is always to my family, during my absences I continued to accept blames in spirit.
I am always impressed with this community, and the way everyone rallies around members facing challenges. I humbly wish to express my deepest appreciation to you all for your support, kind words and prayers. First, in the beginning of the month when I had to take leave for an emergency trip to bring Dad home from the hospital and arrange hospice care. Then again last week when, after just over 3 years of various treatments, Dad finally lost his battle with cancer and was laid to rest.
In the beginning I committed to, as the 34th Goat, being the 16th best Goat ever. Unfortunately I feel like I fell short of that goal, only reaching maybe 18th best Goat ever. But let’s face it: @mikibell was a tough Goat to follow! However, I can say, with firm confidence, I was the best Galactic Goat ever!
As you fire off those last few hours of blames for me, please visit the May nominations topic and nominate/vote for your May goat. Don’t leave us hanging!
Thank you for the opportunity, your participation, and of course for all the blames!
Galactic Goat, out.

I blame you because I decided to finally restock my Amazon gift card balance (after all, rubber ducks aren’t cheap. Well, actually they kinda are.), but when I wanted to apply a discount code I had to get $10 off, I was told the coupon was expired.
You’ll be missed.
Where you’re off to, you won’t be alone.
@f00l Just to keep the record straight, Galactic Goat is NOT propelled through the cosmos by superheated gas shooting from his arse.
@ruouttaurmind
I’ll want proof on that.
@f00l This, dear friend, you will have to accept on faith.
I’ve been out so much with travel and family work the past few weeks (and this past week in particular) I didn’t get a chance to keep up with your posts, or your recent travails. My belated condolences on your loss, and my compliments on your term as goat; what I was able to follow was clearly exemplary service in the finest traditions of goat-hood, and in the face of much trouble.
I have no blame for you.
@duodec Humbly, thank you.
You actually believe that midnight tonight is the time something magic will happen? Well, a lot of people agree with you, but come sunrise, YOU WILL STILL BE GOAT.

@OldCatLady
Neither of those will happen.
@DrunkCat will be the next goat.
@OldCatLady I hear it’s sort of like joining the US Marine Corps. Once goated, goat for life.
@PlacidPenguin Galactic Goat endorses @katylava for May Goat.
@ruouttaurmind That’s it. Permagoat.
