Goat Day #2 (Kinda) - Who the hell are you?

lichme shared some links said Thu, Aug 2nd 2018 at 11:00pm ET

Hello there. It looks like I’m a goat. Some people might be familiar with me, but some of you may be thinking… who the hell is this guy?

I am lich, lichme, “Glitter Lord of Zip Ties”, lichypoo or liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich. Best known for being a stalker of all things woot/meh (hence mehstalker and wootstalker)

I’m in my early 30’s, married with 2 kids (almost 3, and 2 months). I moved here from Canada (yeah, you can blame me twice) back in '06, to be with my wife. We met online playing Team Fortress Classic. I live a very predictable life, and I like it that way.

I have a really bad memory when it comes to people. It’s not that I don’t care, I just suck. That being said, if it doesn’t creep you out, feel free to share some basic information about yourself here so that when I try to remember a bit about you in the future, I’ll have a reference point.

If you have any general, not too invasive type questions, feel free to ask. I may or may not answer them, but you can ask.

For my reign, I don’t have a theme, or a plan really, but I’ll try to keep it interactive.

Also, if you don’t want your details public, you can always whisper them to me.

I think you know too much about me as it is.

- @Thumperchick It’s not like I stalked you when you sent me a roku (thanks again!), and looked up your house, and tried to see through your windows on google maps or anything.
  
  *I really did not do that^

I’m too lazy to figure this out on my own (counting is hard) but is there a specific number of i’s (or a’s) or do you just hold down the key until it seems like enough?

Hi! I’ve always wondered how to pronounce your username. Most times in my head it’s “like me”, as in lichen. But, sometimes it’s “lick me”. Especially when you’re talking to some peeeeeooooople…

- @llangley The ch makes a loogie hocking sound, and the me is actually pronounced like “muh”.

  Oh. I always thought it had something to do with lich (fantasy undead creature), which I think rhymes with witch.

- @moonhat @stardate820926 I thought it was pretty funny when someone posted, around 2 years ago, they thought I was a guy in his 20’s who was a nerd. I suppose I could qualify as a nerd, but I am not in my 20’s (but my kid is so that has to count for something? Right?) and I am not a guy.

I can already tell that this will be an entertaining ~~goat~~ month.

Or, it BETTER be. Otherwise I’ll be blaming you A LOT at the end of the month for getting my expectations up.

- @f00l Apple’s development tools only run on OS X, and the App Store license agreements require you to develop on a Mac, too.
  
  I don’t own a Mac. There are workarounds, but they violate the agreements.

Kidsandliz said Fri, Aug 3rd 2018 at 10:02am ET:

I am owned by Goat Cat (7) and her posse of three 17 year olds cats and one 2 year old cat, the later was dumped on campus, and I am fostering her until there is an opening in the no kill shelter.

All my cats have been strays. Goat Cat I found as a 6ish week old on the median strip of the highway huddled against the cement barrier in the driving rain nearly dead of hypothermia. One of the 17 year olds I bottle fed and had from 10 days old. I was given her by another PhD student right after one of my cats died of cancer and was temporarily without cats. She handed me this squalling bundle of kitten and told me I needed a new cat. That was between oral and written comprehensive exams. The last thing I needed to do then was feed a baby every 2-3 hours around the clock while studying for the oral part of the exam. I fed her right before the orals, put her in my pocket and fortunately she slept through my 2 hour orals and my committee never knew I had a baby in my pocket. The other two, littermates, just showed up one day at my doorstep as roughly 3 month old kittens and came into the house when I opened the door. They were raggedy and skinny and incredibly loving. This was about 3 months after I got the one I was bottle feeding.

I have had 4 other fosters (3 abandoned by my neighbor when they moved) and one who was dumped by a restaurant and they were going to shoot it so I picked it up and took it with me. Those 4 were placed by the same no kill shelter I am waiting for an opening for the 2 year old. I really, really miss one of those 4 that I placed. I should have kept him. The most loving cat I have ever had. Sweet, laid back, got along with everyone, darling little thing. I still regret placing him.

I have run the last several mehrican exchanges.
