@Barney's Goat Prize
54In case you missed it, some people got their goat prizes last week. Some of them posted what they got, some didnβt (cough @Ryaneil, @joelmw, @narfcake, @pavlov, @starblind, @mfladd, @jaremelz, @christinewas, @TaRdY).
@Barney mentioned something about not having a camera to take a picture. I came into work Monday morning and found an envelope sitting on my desk:
Inside was this:

@Barney
Loving all the purple.
Way to brighten my mood on an otherwise dull Tuesday.
πππ
Well, shit, how can I possibly hope to follow this?
But, yeah, I am grateful and I do mean to post. It's just way more complicated than I seem to be capable of handling right now. I was really excited when I got the box. But I'll tell you that when I finally post. And I will post.
Still love you @Barney! So adorable.
@KDemo And I still love you.
@Barney @KDemo and I love purple.
That's adorable.
@Thumperchick I'm not sure if "adorable" is quite the word for it.
@Barney, you rock!
@AnnaB In other words, "Don't quit my day job." :)
@Barney Nope. What I meant was that I am having such a crappy day and your pictures made me smile. Also, I love purple!
@AnnaB I was just teasing you. I'm glad it helped cheer you a bit.
@Barney Quit your day job and illustrate kid's books? (I assume that's not your day job.)
@sligett If I were to do this, I could become a member of the starving artists' club.
@Barney you put so much work into that! So creative!
@conandlibrarian Wanna know a secret? It took me about 30 minutes to draw. Doesn't it look like it?
How fantastic! I hope the meh staff treasures it, because it is a treasure.
@brhfl Treasure it? I'm sure the staff is still laughing at it.
@Barney, you are an incredibly sweet purple dinosaur.
@lisaviolet Sweet dino? Maybe, because I don't have sharp teeth?
@Barney No.
It's because you're a very considerate person.
@lisaviolet This is the second time I've blushed today.
"Spigots" hahahaha
@stardate820926 Well, I haven't been around too many goats...
@stardate820926 So glad you pointed that out! I somehow missed it!
@Barney it's true, we have those
@hollboll Thank you for taking the time to post my pictures. I REALLY like my Tweety night light.
@Barney <3 I thought you might!
That was really so good. Nicely done @barney!
@ACraigL Aww, thanks.
@hollboll That was a really long cough. You should probably see a doctor.
I took some bad pictures, the day the box arrived. Since I never managed to try again, I guess it's time to go find a thread and post something mediocre.
@Barney You are amazing. Great use of the lesser colors to show us, more accurately, what arrived in your box. When I saw the title, I expected pages filled with varying shades of purple and nothing more.
@christinewas Yeah, I've been meaning to get that checked out.
I don't mind if the pics are crappy,
Iwe just want praise for all the hard work that went into it. ;)I'd say buy that dino a camera, but this is so much better than pictures!
@mikey Hmm, have you had your eyes checked lately?
@Barney Just picked up my new glasses last week, as a matter of fact!
Small purple and green Dino is the best. Brava, @barney!
That's so awesome! Meh needs to send @barney a nice, refurbished camera. Preferably a purple one.
@heartny Hahaha! Finally, someone who will admit that my artwork would be better if I used a camera.
@Barney Awww, I love your artwork. I think it's so sweet. I think it would be nice if Meh recognized your unique talent and awarded you with a camera, since you don't have one.
@heartny I've barely figured out how to use a computer. I think a camera would be waaay beyond my abilities.
@Barney I vote for a new coloring book with plenty of Purple writing implements. Your drawings with commentary are better than plain old pictures. I do not agree that the camera is beyond you, I just like your book better.
@speediedelivery Alas and alack, this will probably be my last published effort, for I have used up my beloved purple crayon. (If you will look closely, you will see that the Meh hats are a combination of blue and red crayons, which did not combine to make a very good purple). I am now purpleless.
@Barney
γβ’ β β’γWhat? You can't be purpleless!!
@stardate820926 Never fear, I may no longer have my purple crayon, but I have my trusty purple Sharpie!
@hollboll How can you not expect me to be late? Sorry I did receive this I have been really busy the past few weekends/weeks with work and my addiction to video games.
Now I'm salty about this whole fuku thing where it thought I was a robot and couldn't buy it, despite it being checked off that I was indeed not a robot. So this may take even longer for me to get to now while I cool down.
I was too annoyed to post my last fuku because of a disgusting condition flexbrew coffee maker that was clearly used and not even attempted to have been cleaned.
Sorry for the rant, still amped up about missing this darn fuku when I had 2 shots at it before sold out but it called me a robot. Maybe I have been spending too much time with them lately.
On a side note, I did show off the goat trophy on my twitch stream after I opened the box thinking it was a pair of shoes I had ordered (not looking at the shipping label or evaluating the box itself) I was rather excited to discover what it actually was.
@TaRDy be careful, that much salt can't be good for your health.
@hollboll the salt is starting to get brushed off. I have made it as far as uploading both sets of images to imgur, now I just need to get around to making my post(s).
this thread is full of win. Barney, you are adorable. that is fantastic.
man i've been in a depress and sick and avoiding the internet. i need to stop that crap immediately and return full blast to this forum because it is brimming with awesome.
@vampje We've missed you.
I'm so glad we talked you into drawing your prizes! So much better than stinky pictures everyone else posted :)
(I can't even draw a stick figure :( )
@looseneck Talked me into it? You twisted my arm so hard I could barely hold a crayon.
@Barney You did this with your non-dominant hand? Even better!
