@werehatrack is kind of right. sadly, i don’t visit the forums as much anymore. as penance, i would turn in my April 2015 goat trophy, but i don’t fucking want to.
@carl669@chienfou@macromeh@werehatrack @f00l
So should that be FGOAT or GFOAT?
And thanks for making me realize you have not been GOATed. We’ll have to take care of that. What are your plans for June???
I was the Meh Scapegoat Dec 2016. I think that’s the month/year.
I just never converted to the dead-upside-down-goat mini-icon.
I think that mini-icon appeared after my Goatdom. Newer goats were converted to the mini-icon automagically, but previous goats had to request the conversion.
I dunno why I never requested the change. Guess I should.
Nominations topic for the upcoming Goat happened late Nov 2016 and is here:
@f00l
Aha!! So you previously were GOAT. Though you’re not anymore, I’ll still blame you for finding a way to obfuscate your badge and join GOATs Anonymous.
(Anything else we should currently blame you for?)
That must have been before I irrevocably became Meh. Thank you for your service (I guess).
I suppose you could still sit your Charlie McCarthy in your lap, pull strings, and nominate him/yourself for June GOAT. There’ve been precedents (and presidents?) for that.
at the time I think.Meg was still doing the “brown shit” mini-icon for persons who had been VMP and whose memberships had expired or cancelled.
I used seeing that mini-icon by my name to remind me when my card on file might have expired.
however sometime in the last decade they stopped using that mini-icon and went to something else I think. or maybe they didn’t and I was just lazy.
anyway my auto billing card expired and my VMP got cancelled. I didn’t notice for a while. maybe a month or a couple if months. I messaged CS to try to get the VMP membership turned back on but was told “no”.
so I re-joined the regular membership instead.
so there’s no longer a reason for me to not have the dead goat mini-icon. I should contact CS and request it.
@chienfou@f00l I just think we need to be clear its meh. Not some poor woman in customer service named Meg(an) .
The credit card experations were def a thing m autopay will bite your ass sometimes. I’ve been charged late fees for it by my ISP. But I did complain loudly enough that this time they have been sending notices for a few months that it’s about to expire.
@chienfou@f00l@Kyeh there was also a whole thing about calling people a piece of shit for using the poop emoji for canceled members… Eh. everyone knew that was not the intent
I am also throwing around the word “decade”. Is this just a virus
@f00l@Kyeh
As in your example, ink is listed first.
Only one badge shows up next to your name in the forum posts. Not sure why ex goat is missing from her list though.
@f00l - you’re in the tattoo group, so that’ll show up, rather than the goat, but I added the ex-scapegoat to your account, too. Might take a few minutes to show up.
@chienfou@Kidsandliz@unksol Yeah, I listened to that but the nose didn’t show up in it, I don’t think … I might have stopped watching early - I got tired of it.
@Kidsandliz@unksol
I think placement within the sentence plays a part. If you start the sentence with “bless your heart” there is a more sincere sentiment implied. But placed at the end however (and most generally in 3rd person ie his/her), it is frequently a subtle, backhanded jab used between ‘knowing’ gossips.
So: Bless your heart, you have had a hard time of it this year haven’t you?
VS:
After her fourth boyfriend ghosted her, you would think she’d have developed better taste in men, bless her heart.
or
This is his third lawn mower DUI, bless his heart.
@chienfou@unksol The tone of voice matters here too. Your first example can be a put down/insult as well depending on the tone of voice. I have heard it done that way aimed at someone the other person was putting down in a back handed way.
@Kidsandliz
That’s true toneis gery important. However I have found that “southern gentility rules” mean most of the time people aren’t that confrontational. Gossiping, on the other hand, is an Olympic level sport.
@chienfou And if they are going to stab you in the back it’s not a direct frontal approach either. They distract you, put their arm around you, take a twisted knife, dip it in sugar and when you are not looking stab you in the back twisting it on the way out.
I was told that on good authority and the first thing out of my mouth was a non southern (I am from up north and have lived a lot of places here and abroad), “I don’t think I want to be a good southern woman.”
And if they are going to stab you in the back it’s not a direct frontal approach either.
I must say k&l, that did make me smile.
I believe you are effectively correct. Southern women (you very rarely hear a southern male use the term “bless your/his/her heart”… unless he is mocking a female) are not particularly confrontational. Conniving, contriving, convoluted maybe, but confrontational, no.
If a typical southern female thinks you are inferior to her, she may tend to be very dismissive, but generally not confrontational.
But hey… I’m not in Texas, so who knows

How is @carl669 possibly missing out on this thread? This should be his milieu, his term paper, his wheelhouse, his chance to shine.
@phendrick I think @carl669 has gone low-key on us. (I have no direct knowledge, obviously. This is just an observation.)
@phendrick Perhaps even… His destiny!

A new texting acronym, tailored to Meh!
Maybe you should TM/Copyright that before someone else does. It might start being common around these parts.

Hey! Watch who you call a goatfucker, motherfucker.
Oh… Wait… you meant… ummm
@carl669 @chienfou @macromeh @phendrick @werehatrack for what its fucking worth @carl669 last I remember you met someone, got married, and stopped giving a fuck. About fucks. And were sailing off into the fucking sunset.
I sincerely hope that’s still going well

Goat blame topic for Dec 2016 is here:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/december-blame-thread
@placidpenguin kinda pushed that honor for me into reality (with lots of help)
Being naturally illiterate and obstreperous, I chose to quote a bunch of (I think mostly modern-ish) poetry during the era of my Goatdom Dominion.
I was preceded as Goat in Nov 2016 by the wonderful @PlacidPenguin
and followed as Goat by the wonderful @jbartus for Jan 2017
Some going-back-a-ways goat records are here
https://meh.com/forum/topics/scapegoats-of-meh
And here
https://meh.com/forum/topics/calendar-of-the-scapegoat
At one point someone or several someones kept a list
(I think maybe @thumperchick and/or @narfcake)
Is there still a master list of all Goats?
Hopefully such a list would contain links to the nomination topic and the following blame topic
But that means someone has to keep records of all that. So maybe no one’s done the diligence of keeping those records up to date.
I get it. We all have too much tedious yet undone.

@carl669 @chienfou @f00l @jbartus @macromeh @narfcake @phendrick @PlacidPenguin @Thumperchick @werehatrack I was gonna say. F00l was definitely a goat. I thought you just preferred that badge for some reason.
For some reason I thought there was a drop-down of eligible badges you could show but I guess they are support tickets if you need to swap out
This was kinda a thing with the VMP badge
Also badge is a strange word

Ok not me. Everyone did. Or maybe Lena Khan did
@chienfou @f00l there are a lot of dead goats. Would be quite the field to stumble upon. What crime happens here… Oh there’s a new one
@chienfou @f00l She could have all three - mine says
Also, “Being naturally illiterate and obstreperous” is a completely false self-description, @f00l, but it’s a wonderful phrase.
@chienfou @f00l @Kyeh there was also a whole thing about calling people a piece of shit for using the poop emoji for canceled members… Eh. everyone knew that was not the intent

Btw is anyone still keeping a list of Mehmbers who’ve been Goated?
I think maybe you and @narfcake did, for a while. But I’m wondering (zero blame) if anyone kept that list current?

@chienfou @Kidsandliz @unksol What’s with that guy’s huge nose?
@chienfou @Kidsandliz @Kyeh i think for the screen shot hes supposed to have just broke his nose or something. The way he screams carl is the thing lol
@chienfou @Kidsandliz @unksol Yeah, I listened to that but the nose didn’t show up in it, I don’t think … I might have stopped watching early - I got tired of it.
@chienfou @Kidsandliz @Kyeh a wise decision
Now you even have these lovely ladies singing “potty mouth” words. Shame on you!!
@MrGoodGuy I enjoyed that but why do they keep saying “bless your heart” so much?
@MrGoodGuy
/youtube bless your heart megan moroney
@unksol
Southern for “you poor dear”…
@chienfou probably more accurate. I just feel like this is a casual “fuck you” vs an actual “FUCK YOU”
/youtube Miranda Lambert bless your heart
@MrGoodGuy @unksol Bless your heart is a southern insult.
@chienfou @unksol
But said sarcastically as a put down, at least here in the armpit of the nation.
@chienfou @Kidsandliz right hence kinda a fuck you lol

Great movie… A little chapter of History I wasn’t familiar with.
@chienfou it is one of my favorites. And I like that it’s based on history and stars many of my favorite british actors

Absolutely!. I wasn’t aware this “was even a thing” and was AMAZED how long it ran.
I appreciate the thought but the comic sans is burning my eyes.
