Get Well Soon, Pavlov!
32As posted in the "Fuku every Sunday in June" thread, beloved forum person and current goat Pavlov has recently had an oopsie and gotten injured when a roof fell on them during a storm. Not only does that sound incredibly unpleasant in and of itself, but it sounds like there will be a lengthy recovery period too.
In addition to being just a generally cool and well-liked poster, Pavlov brought the office of goat to new heights by involving the community with a planned series of photoshop contests with prizes and everything.
Here's what I suggest: let's do something together so Pavlov knows we care about him. How about a thread where we could do lighthearted get-well wishes and amusements for his recovery time? Messages, photoshops, songs, etchings, engravings and so on. Nothing about kumquats, we know how those enraged him. @JonT, would it be out of the question for Meh to send him sort of a hard copy of the thread, as Meh would have his address and he can't currently access the forums?
If this is a dumb idea, JonT pls delete thread, no hard feelings I promise.

@Starblind - I'm a little in shock about this right now, but once I hear he's recovering, I will contribute an encouraging message. (Hope I didn't ruin the spirit of your thread).
@Starblind - Just want to add that this is a sweet idea.
GOAT WELL SOON!
Hope ewe are up and about soon, @Pavlov!
Here's my attempt. I DID A PIXEL GOAT FOR YOU PAVLOV!
@Starblind This is such a great idea. I understand people are hesitant to start posting funny and amusing things here. Having worked in hospital and rehabilitation settings for many years I can tell you this - this is exactly what @Pavlov needs. (While I might be new here) What do you think @Pavlov would want to help him in this situation? I think he would like to laugh and understand that people are wishing him the best in a way that resembles what he was trying to do here as the June Goat -- The Reign of Bleat! Get well soon, so I can blame you!
A matter of fact, you are not getting off easy Mr. Goat. As soon as you are better I think you have another month coming!
Ergo, meh needs to appoint a secondhand goat for the rest of the month. That way @Pavlov can serve, ah, enjoy his full month another time.
I second the nomination of a Vice Goat. Probably a good idea to have one every month in case the GOTUS is unable to fulfill her/his duties.
dammit @Pavlov, i didn't even get to blame you for anything yet! hurry up and get better so I can annoy you. maybe this weird/creepy ass thing will help:
@carl669 JC, that is creepy!
@carl669 The sad thing is I would probably take it in with my other 6 animals. The wife said I am out after one more. Hmmmm. ;)
And can I just ask. we need some Photoshop people to start posting. You did a great job on his goat.fuku thread. Please do so here (I wish I had PS skills)
@mfladd go download and start learning! photoshop CS2 is absolutely free (legally). sure, it's an old version, but still quite useful. http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-get-photoshop-for-free/ there's plenty of good tutorials out there as well.
@carl669 Ok, but PS skills could make me more obnoxious than I already am!
@mfladd then you'll FINALLY be at the level of obnoxiousness as the rest of the forum folks. don't you WANT to hang with the cool kids?? peer pressure peer pressure
@carl669 I blame @Pavlov (and you) for making me post this
@carl669 Also I couldn't downlowd CS2 to be cool. Unsupported now?
@mfladd it still works for me. you do need to have an adobe ID (free signup - https://accounts.adobe.com/). once you're logged in, go here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html if you just want photoshop (instead of the entire CS2 suite), it's near the bottom of the table on the page. the serial# is listed next to it.
@carl669 Got it. Thanks (I was trying to do the entire suite). As an ex-goat your are still very helpful.
Seeing how I was off for a week in May, I have no qualms being goat pro tem until @Pavlov has recovered.
@narfcake As my first goat, I was going to blame you anyway.

Feel better soon, you old goat!
@Pavlov Well, who can you blame?
Hope you are better soon and everything works out OK!
@2many2no as soon as i read what happened, i thought of this song and video - i think musically talanted mehmbers should record this song for the goat... hundreds of CDs and cassette tapes of the same hilariously accurate song would be appropriate for a meh well soon gift.
Get Well @Pavlov !
So I came across this:
. . . and it occurred to me that Mr Fox might not appreciate having been "fixed."
Not exactly sure what sort of euphemism "brushed his shabby coat" might be, but I'd watch out for that fox, @Pavlov. Here's hoping the forest creatures treat you well while you mend.
Great idea @Starblind! I piggybacked on it with this:

Congrats to @Starblind for clearly winning Pavlov's contest and for being the bigger person and not mentioning it.
All of his 'meh' buttons should be auto-clicked by staff as a get well gift.
I'd also like to thanks @MrsPavlov who took the time to detail what was going on and keep this community involved during what must have been an extremely trying time for her personally. Can't wait to see you both back here in full form.
