Cinoclav's Field of 32 Day 31 - The final vote!
23All good things must come to an end. So too must the Field of 32. Unless of course your next goat (cough…@nolrak…cough) would like to pick 32 more items. But nothing ends until a champion has been crowned. There have been a few surprises along the way and several items that most of us thought would end up in the final rounds. A bunch of you didn’t have faith in the Bubba Bottles, but here they are, ready to stand up to the Meh T-Shirts in the final vote. The Knives have lost their edge, going down 29 to 22. As someone who has been around since the beginning of meh, I believe Knives and Bubba Bottles are part of a small group of items that are the foundation of meh. Throw some speaker docks, earbuds, bluetooth speakers, and power banks in there and us old timers could really tell some stories around the campfire. While some of these items haven’t been seen in a while, they will linger on fondly in our meh-mories.
My fellow mehtizens, you have one final mission should you choose to accept it. Vote. Vote fast. Vote hard. Vote like there’s no tomorrow. Because there is no tomorrow for this goat. Unless of course someone behind the scenes takes their good old time killing off my goat and giving birth to a new one. If that happens, I’m pretty much screwed with nothing else for you to vote on. I’ll get around to one final goat post to officially announce the winning item, but before I go I’d like to say something to those of you who have played along all month. Simply - Thank you. Thank you for playing along. Thank you for the consistent voting from so many of you. Thank you for the snark and the humorous comments. Most importantly, thank you for the very kind comments several of you have posted. My job was to keep all of you smiling but in the end, it was all of you that were there for me.

Meh T-Shirts!
Bubba Bottles!
I have that giant Bubba. It’s off to Goodwill. Sorry Bubba.
@sammydog01 I still have mine and I’m keeping it!
@cinoclav @sammydog01 I love my Bubbas, except for the giant one. However, I’ve got to vote for the T-shirts, because of purple and I also my Kickstarter shirt.
@Barney I love purple.
What a decision. Shucks. I really like my Bubbas, but I wear the T-shirts more than I use the Bubbas. Shit…I guess I’ll vote for @TinaMarie1974’s cleavage.
Thanks @cinoclav, this has been a most cromulent experience.
/giphy hat tip
@therealjrn but, but, but you should vote for Bubbas. Why, because the current shirt choices would not allow for any cleveage. Come on, you know you want to protest with me!
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 I guess since it’s the last day I can proudly exclaim that I’m Team Bubba. No more being neutral, I love those things.
@therealjrn And thanks. It’s been thoroughly banausic.
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974
I’m voting for the shirts. I must.
But please keep agitating.
@f00l You apparently must do a lot of things around here…but why is it an opponent is called an agitator while a supporter is called a reconciler?
Difficulty: No use of /giphy or /image in your answer.

Fucking nope.
This is better:

@carl669
I WIN!!!
@shahnm You could’ve said that 30 days ago …
Great goat job, @Cinoclav!!
I am very gruntled by your performance over the past month!
@shahnm Many thanks, and may all your batteries be chilled.
T-shirts for the win.
/giphy legendary
I’m voting for knives, dammit.

@Shrdlu I’m a little worried about you.

@cinoclav What the heck. I just noticed that knives are 14 votes, and Bubba is 17 votes. Four more votes for knives, and they’d be second. I’m not so deluded that I’d try to beat the current leader (which is 36 votes), but it’s pretty funny, either way.
I only wear tshirts when I’m gardening, and all my shirts are at least 15 years old, or older. I have shirts that are older than some of the people here on Meh. When they only get worn a few days a week, and there are a lot of them, it takes them a long time to wear out.
/8ball t-shirts?
You may rely on it
/8ball bubba?
Don’t count on it
@cinoclav, your month was so much more than meh, it was creative and fun! You rose to the challenge and not only met it, you raised the bar. @Nolrak has some big shoes to fill!
@cinoclav and I am not sure if you noticed, but you are still the goat. Hhuummmm…
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974 It’s not August yet.
@cinoclav @narfcake oh yeah!!! It has been a long week already
@tinamarie1974 I only have you to
blamethank for the experience. One day I’ll make it up to you.@cinoclav I am both scared and excited all at once
@tinamarie1974 There are no mandatory requirements for the goat of the month; only that the nominated goat makes the best of it. The daily interaction is thoroughly enjoyable but it’s never been an obligation. Every goat is free to do their month in a way they see fit, whether it’s in stories, games, telling off others, or even just plain ignoring everyone.
@narfcake @nolrak @tinamarie1974 I think she’s just goading the next goat.
@narfcake but what if I want to tease @nolrak about his pending goat-dom???
@cinoclav @narfcake @nolrak
Yes, that!!
@cinoclav @narfcake @tinamarie1974 Hey hey, c’mon people, the month isn’t over yet, anything could still happen with the vote!
@narfcake @nolrak @tinamarie1974 Sure, it could get significantly worse for you!
@cinoclav @narfcake @tinamarie1974 The vote isn’t looking pretty … I’d better start coming up with some ideas of what to do for a month
@nolrak @tinamarie1974 I get the feeling you’ve been thinking about it for days.
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974 That probably would have been the smart thing to do but no, I’m not known for my planning
@nolrak @tinamarie1974 Seems you have something in common with Irk.
@tinamarie1974 I agree, great job, Clavvy!
@moonhat @tinamarie1974 Thank you!
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974
@nolrak @tinamarie1974
Seriously? Meh tee shirts are subMeh. I don’t get the attraction. Anything Bubba is up this girl’s alley
@allergycheryl That’s uh, not a metaphor or anything, right?
@cinoclav Absolutely a metaphor. If Bubba literally were to try to come up my alley he would regret it quickly.
@allergycheryl @cinoclav it keeps getting better…
@allergycheryl @chienfou @cinoclav
I’ve changed my vote twice already!!
@mollama I keep doing the same thing, but just to mess with the people who are keeping score
@cinoclav
/giphy thanks for all the fish
@2many2no Hey, it isn’t ‘so long!’
@cinoclav I’m confident you’ll be back tomorrow, but your GoaT will be flipped. Great reign.
@2many2no
I’m really wondering what would have happened if I hadn’t included Meh T-Shirts in the tournament. I almost didn’t, simply because I don’t look at them as a ‘normal’ sale item on meh. I see them as a specialty item, not as rare as a Fuku/IRK but along those lines. Just a bonus item reserved for special occasions. What do you all think we would be voting on today if the T-Shirts weren’t included? Just to recap:
@cinoclav Questionable caffeinated/energy/sleep/relaxation products.
@cinoclav But meh offered non-meh shirts too.
@narfcake Sure but the category clearly states ‘Meh’ T-Shirts, not just T-Shirts. It implies branding, not merchant.
If for no other reason than the only Meh T-shirt I’ve ever received came as a pack of stuff (not an IRK) and that it was a size “Small” (I’m either a 2 or 3XL!), my vote goes to the underdog…BUBBA!!

@cinoclav!
@f00l Damn, I should have included cats. Because - cats.
@cinoclav
/giphy exactly cats!
@f00l Fuck it, let’s start over.

@cinoclav I’m really and truly going to miss you. You’ve been a lot of fun. XXOO
@Shrdlu Aww, thank you very much. That means a lot to me coming from you.

comes up with giphy for bubba
ROFL
means i don’t have to say they suck
Well, this looks like a wrap - I’d like to thank you @cinoclav for a much better reason to check in every day than clicking some damn meh face, herding the mehcats into delightful and often hilarious discussions based on such mundane things as vacuums and pearl jewelry. And all that despite my crappy bracket. Rah x 3 for an excellent term as goat, and I hope the transistion of goatness will be a peaceful one, despite the rumors of illegal voting from the western states.
/giphy illegal votes
@stolicat Thank you x 3. You have contributed much to my month and I’ve really enjoyed your comments and posts. You have my sincerest gratitude.
P.S. Don’t expect much, the next goat is @nolrak.
