Goat back to school (September 2022 goat nominations)

narfcake had a quick thing to say said Thu, Aug 25th 2022 at 11:57pm ET

It’s almost another month already?!? Yikes!

Also that means @hchavers’ month as a quiet goat is up and that it’s time to pass the crown to another mehmber. Or not. It’s always been up to the community, so let the nominations begin!

I propose we change the goat to horses’s ass and start over.

Well, disregarding @Felton10’s blatant attempt to get nominated yet again, I propose @MarkDaSpark, who’s already shown that he’ll be the greatest wine goat of all time!

Perhaps instead of goat, it is GOAT (greatest of all time), then we’d have more volunteers? Or . . . a discount code for goats . . .

- @hammi99 Well, there aren’t really supposed to be volunteers - although there’ve been some. But most people don’t want the “honor.”

- @hammi99 Well there used to be trophies. And then they stopped. And then someone said they had gotten from meh something or other trophy wise that he/she was going to mail to us… and then… and then… and then… in true goat form… we are still waiting several years later.

Incentives would bring wanna be goats out of the woodwork for sure! Can’t be a free IRK, not without monthly mehrathons anyway.
We need more goat love!

- Hmm lets wait until next month for this nomination. We seem to have a number of people voting up earlier for a deserving soul. So I am taking back my vote until next month. Hey @unksol that gives you a month to come up with arguments why you shouldn’t be goat. :laughing"

- @Kyeh @unksol Hey I fended it off for months until someone finally got me. Doesn’t appear to matter in the end. I even uploaded a death certificate signed by meh. It wasn’t believed.

- @Kidsandliz @Kyeh mostly that I probably won’t notice the attempt or the success for a week and even when I do I dont have much to offer. Some of our more impressive goats had daily themes/games and I’m not that well organized. Need to be done after work. Best case you might have got a kitten photo a night and I really need to get on finding them homes.
  
  In the realm of potentially silent goat feel free. Are there even still goat trophies? Not that I want one I just forget the last time one was mentioned. It might be running out of steam
  
  I did at least buy two things and thanks for reminding me to cancel my mehhhbership

Interesting how extremely quiet @MarkDaSpark is being this month… Needs a few more glasses of wine, I’m thinking!

- @Kyeh @MarkDaSpark Dear Goat, You are doomed for a month. If you did poorly in fantasy football as goat you have yourself to blame. Oh wait. You’d be doing that even if you weren’t the goat.
