Have you checked the batteries? (May 2018 Goat Nominations)
11While @shahnm has been an great goat, the batteries won’t last forever outside of the cold confines of his refrigerator. And so, it’s that time again.
So who’s the next deserving mehmber for a month of goatdom?

@PlacidPenguin This is double rainbow, all the way across the sky…!
@PlacidPenguin @shahnm Double rainbows for double packs of double A batteries …
/giphy coincidence?
@narfcake @shahnm
The one on the left looks to be AAA.
My servitude comes to an end, but not before I nominate @Kidsandliz for another goatdom. She was very, very mean to me all month, and she has therefore earned all of our collective ire. Amirite?!?
@shahnm
Nope. She was already goat.
@shahnm
There are still a few Fresh Faces out there. You don’t wanna have them feel all left out, do ya?
@narfcake? The list of ex-Goats? (If you have it handy)
@f00l @narfcake @shahnm
Sheesh…
I’m still here.

@shahnm You were so busy I was afraid you were neglecting your batteries so I had to keep reminding you that they existed so you could check on them in the fridge to be sure they were still OK. I mean, you didn’t want them taken away from you by the department of
humanbattery services for battery, neglect, torture for letting them overheat or worse did you?@Kidsandliz But I am so deeply devoted to my beloved batteries, and the marvelously chilly conditions under which everyone consistently agrees without any dissension that they should be stored, that I could never for a moment even entertain the slightest iota of a possibility that I might somehow come to accidentally neglect them, despite sometimes taking time away from supervising those precious batteries to write an unnecessarily long and increasingly incomprehensible run-on sentence for no particular reason, except to highlight my devotion to those very same batteries by pointing out that even while I am composing this missive my thoughts remain with their absolute well being as they bask comfortably in the cooling darkness of my trusted refrigerator.
I still think you should be a goat again.
@shahnm
/you are not Hemmingway
@Kidsandliz No. I’m more of a Long(winded)fellow…
@shahnm snort
I nominate @PoolToyWolf because summer.
@therealjrn It’s too perfect!
@PooltoyWolf @therealjrn So June or July, then? Though summer has already started here (because SoCal), it’s technically not summer yet.
@narfcake @therealjrn We pretty much don’t have spring or fall here…it goes straight from winter to summer and back. :U
@therealjrn yes we need spring and pool season. A great goat choice.
I nominate @Seeds for Spring Goat planting. This nomination is for general mayhem, and the fact that he can probably hold down the job now that he isn’t smoking pot.
@mfladd I think perhaps your understanding of cause and effect vis-à-vis pot and goat aptitude may be backwards.
For those who might argue that @Seeds was already goat:
@Seeds was not (although @pantheist was).
@Seeds Is there some sort of correlation here? I am unaware of any. The nomination stands.
@pantheist @mfladd @PlacidPenguin In the interest of full disclosure, neither of my personas was ever goat, but I make no promises if chosen.
@Seeds
Errr…
@Seeds
@Seeds so you WANT to be the goat then… since you fessed up?
@Kidsandliz honestly, if you people keep voting for me I’m going to need someone to explain what the goat is supposed to do besides take blame for everything. I know there are daily threads involved, but I’ve never really followed along with all that.
@Seeds
It’s up to you to do whatever you want (if you want to do things besides take blame).
@PlacidPenguin bleh. I hate decisions.
@Seeds
Didn’t you make one though to decide how you feel about making decisions though?
@Seeds Every goat has handled their term differently, whether it’s with random pics, poems, making others take blame, etc.
You could choose to do nothing at all like some goats have done in the past. Of course, that usually just means more blaming …
Suggesting meh to sell guns made of candy corn is a valid reason to nominate @UncleVinny.
@narfcake what? I? …? I never! It was a set-up, baby, I swear to Jesus!
@narfcake Huzzah! I don’t understand how we, as a community, would allow any Mehmber the honor of double dipping as goat around these here parts when there is a heaping mess of stupid fuckers just waiting to serve that quite just yet haven’t been asked. I second @UncleVinny. Whom may or may not be a stupid fucker (and prolly isn’t; it’ll be fun findin’ out), but he gets my vote for goat anywho.
I think we need to figure out how to deploy our smoke detectors in the fridge, because their batteries need to be checked monthly. I’m not sure how effective they would be though. Thoughts?
@PocketBrain In time, Meh will offer mini-refrigerators that can be attached to your smoke detectors, right on the ceiling. This will, at first, seem like an interesting, quirky, and creative solution to our perennial smoke detector problem. But eventually, someone will point out that the mini-fridges themselves require batteries, which creates a paradox conundrum type of situation, leading inevitably to someone saying, “Fuck You”.
I hate it when that happens.
@PocketBrain @shahnm they will likely also come with a light, blue tooth speaker and a dangling pocket knife.
@shahnm “fuck you.” I love it when people say that!
@PocketBrain No fuckin’ way!
@shahnm
So he’s like, “No way,” and I’m like, YHWH!
@PocketBrain That was funny…ish.
@mike808 it was hilarious. To the eight to ten people that got it.
@PocketBrain I had to process that one for a minute. Well done!
@PocketBrain I thought it was too. I guess even fewer got my Larry David shoutout/followup.
Has @Lichme ever served? With the new wootstalker integration, it seems he should carry that mantle for a while?
@ACraigL I feel that if it is not this month - it is a necessary action to be taken. wOOtstalker boy can’t hide from GoaTdom any longer.
@ACraigL Not only have I not served, but up until now I’ve avoided even being tagged in one of these threads. It should be noted however that my very pregnant wife is due next month with our second, so I wouldn’t be able to fulfill the duties until things settle down.
@ACraigL @lichme Yes, my wife is also pregnant. In fact, she’s due any time between now and eternity
@capguncowboy hey listen I posted a death certificate for me and that didn’t work either. Unfortunately they goated me the same month I was moving and starting a new job with 8 days to pull that off (um can we say a very late hire? LOL) so I did a crappy job. Oh and do you remember we can tag your wife here and she will then know you must have 2 wives if she isn’t pregnant. Right? Just sayin’
Is @jsh139 still around? Definitely deserves a nomination for the Meh scroller extensions- https://github.com/jsh139/Extensions/releases

I find myself starring all of the nominations. Please interpret that as, “anyone but me”.
I realize that I am not in the running. I am also not taking any chances.
@shahnm
Goats eat everything.
So why not star everything?
Then you have a few days left during which you can eat all the stars and the universe.
Hope you’re hungry!
/giphy goat chomp
Hm. This sounds like electioneering…
/giphy goat election
I would like to nominate @jbartus because purple.
GoaT Bump.
Hmm. It turns out that @shahnm will end his reign of goatdom on Day 1337 as a Mehtizen.
Well played, Sir.
GoaT Bump
/giphy cliffhanger bump
So who is the May goat?!?
@shahnm
@Seeds.
