@ybmuG didn’t help set the clocks back.
@mediocrebot You make nominations now?! The machines are out to get us!
I nominate @stolicat for being the only one to NOT vote for Lucy.
@ybmuG Thank you, but no,I won’t be around much next month. And I stand by my vote …
@stolicat So … January?
@narfcake mehbe, a month of cold and dark, inadvisable resolutions, bills coming due - as long as the power stays on, could be fun!
@narfcake @stolicat Oh no! You ain’t getting out of this! No backing out for you buddy.
I nominate Lev Parnas.
@UncleVinny Uh, no. We’ve had vote tampering before already. We don’t need Fraud Guarantee to “help”.
Also:
I nominate last month’s dark horse candidate @Mehrocco_Mole - for the ineveitable regret of watching someone supplying 30 days of extolling the virtues of Donald Trump, as they promised. That would be fun …
@stolicat I’m sure Vladimir, Lindsey, Mitch, Devin, and Boofer all have some pointers.
@mike808 Vladimir? I said President Trump not Hill/Bill Clinton or the DNC. But I’m sure I can come up with a few (read that as a lot) of the questionable acts of either one. That is if I’m not suicided first.
@Mehrocco_Mole Like Epstein?
@stolicat Eww
@stolicat oh no! No politics please. This is my escape from that dreadful topic.
/giphy the horror
@stolicat @tinamarie1974 ah politics the thing that drives people apart. Now if only we could have a non confrontational discussion on politics where each side listens more than they talk then we might actually be able to move forward but hey not wanting to talk about politics doesn’t make the divide any worse it just doesn’t make it any better. Long live the
/giphy status quo
@bleedmichigan @stolicat I agree and actually have friends who I agree and disagree with politically; we discuss our viewpoints intelligently often, without fighting. Sometimes we even change each others minds, but not always.
That said that is not something you can do with everyone and have positive results. I don’t want to fight with anyone, I just want to enjoy myself.
I nominate my wife though she is not on Meh so that’s hard to do. It’s all her fault that I have to get a vasectomy Dec 17, her and those two ankle biters that we have, well and God for making me fertile or natural selection, heredity, the giant turtle or whatever it is that you believe caused humans to be humans. So yeah let’s start blaming someone, I of course carry no blame for I am blameless except for all those things I can be blamed for. Anyway carry on and Go Blue beat the crappy state to the south for the love of all that is holy Harbaugh don’t screw this up.
@bleedmichigan nope. Every guy should get snipped as soon as he has decided he has all the kids he wants. Birth control is much harder on women. Birth control pills means taking a pill that messes with your insides, your desire levels ect every day same time for the rest of the time you don’t want kids. I have not given birth but i hear that is no picnic.
Instead revel im what getting snipped and then tested to male sure your swimmers are trily dammed up means. It means more sex. It means your wife will not have to be on hormores. It means you are an adult man taking responsibility for your own choices. It means you are in control of your own reproduction choices. It doesn’t hurt to much according to most men and you can spend a few days getting spoiled.
It is a smart sexy honorable choice
@CaptAmehrican I’m guessing you missed the sarcasm and comedic tone in my post. Damn you internet
@bleedmichigan @CaptAmehrican
It should be mentioned that long-term post-vasectomy pain is not all that uncommon.
I’m not anti-vasectomy by any means, but know what you’re (potentially) getting into. Still one of the better options, imo.
@bleedmichigan
If you keep making entertaining speeches on meh, you might be worthy of a Goat nomination yourself.
You could spend them entire month complaining about “getting “snipped”.
/giphy snip snip
@CaptAmehrican @Limewater mine won’t hurt at all as my butt will be sedated and I will take a minor nap. Now after who knows either way my goal is to be a couch potato Dec 17-25 at the minimum
@f00l while that sounds like fun and would be worthy of such lofty awards as a Pulitzer or perhaps whatever urologists get at conventions for completing the most vasectomies the prior year I would not be able to in good conscience only write about such things as the sac reword that makes it all juice no pulp. There are so many great topics to consider in December. I’d be all for a month long captaining if the Meh complaint line
@bleedmichigan @f00l yes? finish that last sentence?
@f00l damn autocorrect and fat fingers. It should have said I would be all for captaining of the Meh complaint line. Substitute of for if and then add a period at the end of the sentence.
@bleedmichigan @CaptAmehrican Yeah, don’t worry. Odds are good that you won’t experience pain every time you have sex for the rest of your life.
I do think it’s odd how the downsides of birth control don’t get brought up that often.
Everyone loves putting women on the pill, but don’t really mention too often how it messes with hormones, often lowering sex drive and making them less physically attracted to the person they’re getting birth control to be with. And doctor’s are 100% sure how it works.
Everyone loves vasectomies and don’t really mention that something like 15% of vasectomies lead to long-term pain. (Don’t trust me-- look it up.)
Everyone loves IUDs, but don’t discuss how it’s essentially a permanent morning-after pill, which may be a problem to you, depending on your beliefs.
Don’t trust me on any of the above. If you’re interested, look it up yourself. And to be clear again, I am not against contraception by any means. I don’t regret my own vasectomy even though I’m in the 15% that I mentioned above. I would have liked to have been warned beforehand, but I wouldn’t have done anything differently.
@bleedmichigan oh, is that why bleed is in your username? Snippy snip. Chop chop
@moonhat actually no it’s not but hey that’s beside the point. As a side note I have been told this is a pretty bloodless surgery so that’s fun.
@bleedmichigan @moonhat FWIW I consider my vasectomy as some of the best money I ever spent. Over the past 36 yrs it has paid for itself numerous times over vs the cost of BCPs or condoms. Not to mention the cost of raising an (unanticipated) ankle biter. Thankfully, I am in the 85% (sorry @limewater)
PS the next best $$ spent was my lasix.
(hmmm what does it say about me that I consider 2 different medical procedures as the best money I ever spent…?)
@chienfou @Limewater @moonhat interestingly one my current state vasectomies are covered as no cost under the ACA so no money spent. As for lasik I have 20/10 eyesight so I don’t see that in my future. At the same time I did have my tonsils out 3 years ago to combat tosiliths and that was money well spent. As long as the pain is manageable and my wife is still of the mentality that she did not get married to be celibate than the vasectomy will be worth it as my youngest ankle biter is 11 and I really don’t want a 12 year age gap so no more kids. If we decide we want more kids in the future I have no problem adopting as there are more than enough kids in search of a home.
I am quite tempted to nominate the noble, surgery-facing @bleedmichigan
for our upcoming Dec 2019 Goat.
@f00l Sure looks like he volunteered just above.
@f00l
and he has content …
@f00l DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!
/giphy double dog dare
@f00l @tinamarie1974 @stolicat
Y’all better nip this in the bud.
Before it turns into a thing.
@f00l @mike808 @stolicat nip or snip?
@mike808 @stolicat @tinamarie1974
/giphy Consider it done.
@f00l @mike808 @stolicat @tinamarie1974 unlikely to be worse than me…
@f00l @JnKL @mike808 @stolicat @tinamarie1974 wow thanks for the vote of confidence. I’d do it sure why not I already get blamed for pretty much everything by the wife and two kids so why not a bunch of internet people
/giphy could be worse
@bleedmichigan @f00l @JnKL @stolicat @tinamarie1974
And so, my mehsteemed colleagues, we have reached the final stage, acceptance.
P.S.: You do get unblames, so it’s not all blame.
@f00l @mike808 @stolicat @tinamarie1974
It’s continuously amazing, how month after month, some poor mehtizen ends up “nominating” themself.
@JnKL Sure as hell couldn’t be worse than @nolrak.
@cinoclav @JnKL I wonder if @nolrak ever finished that story…
@JnKL @therealjrn He barely even started it.
@cinoclav @JnKL that’s what you think. And I have no clue what you are talking about.
In case anyone needs some references, here are the last 6 nomination threads:

@narfcake Thanks Narf, but @bleedmichigan already was voluntold.
@therealjrn Yeah, I’ve noticed (and voted), but just in case some ideas were needed for alternate nominations.
/image bump
@Kidsandliz yes let’s find some one who will not talk about vasectomies, history, setting up a saltwater reef tank, winter travel/camping and other things. Who currently is in the lead?
@bleedmichigan fish, camping, random stuff that sounds good.
@CaptAmehrican and sailing, cats… that sounds good in addition to what you said. @bleedmichigan your only escape is to go winter camping in the wilderness where you don’t have internet or a cell signal.
@CaptAmehrican @Kidsandliz there actually is a really nice Virginia State park called Shenandoah River State Park that is a short drive, open all year, and has zero cell service. They do have a old style phone booth that works though so maybe with the right old tech I could get a dial up signal if those still exist.
@bleedmichigan but you wouldn’t be able to click the meh button that way. Just sayin’
