If the 10th month is named after 8 ... (goat nominations for October 2019)
11It’s that time again where we wrap up our blames and unblames to our current goat @JnKL and shift this meh tradition onto another mehmber here.
According to Wikipedia, October was the “eighth month in the old calendar of Romulus”, but “retained its name (from the Latin ôctō meaning “eight”) after January and February were inserted into the calendar that had originally been created by the Romans.”
Coincindentally, it’s also National Pizza Month!
So nominate away … though if you need some hints, look here or here.

It just came to me somehow…
@therealjrn beat me to it!!
It’s not just October…
It drives me nuts that those are not months 7,8,9, and 10.
IMO the new year should just begin in March. The month numbers could be fixed, plus spring would start at the beginning of the year.
@The_Tim
The new year used to start in March.
From Wikipedia The Endless:
So blame the calendar history.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar
Or blame Gregory XIII
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Gregory_XIII
Or blame the scapegoat.
Well, blame something!

@JnkL is the reason they won’t bring back your favorite TV show
@The_Tim @f00l
The reason they are no longer months 7,8,9, and 10 in order is because Emperor Julius Ceasar (Yes, that Julius Ceasar) decided he wanted his own month named after himself.
The result? July.
Then, when Emperor Augustus Ceasar came along, he decided that he too was equally deserving of his own month.
The result? August.
Hence, September, the old 7th month got pished back to become the 9th month we know today.

@f00l @sicc574
Not enough hot grits up in here, @f00l ?
@mike808 @sicc574
Did you say grits?
Hot grits?
Kindly allow the @f00l to thing only about that for a while. It’s important.
/image grits
@f00l Eeewww. You ruint it with cheese.
How about some Natalie Portman to think about with them hot grits?
@mike808
Blame /giphy for the cheese.
Scapegoat! Calling you out for that cheese!

I wish to nominate the ultimate goat

@Cerridwyn Well, all I know is he gets blamed for a lot of stuff that isn’t his fault!
Is he here on meh forum?
And yes, this has been my forum handle for a long time. Way before my buddy Don was using it.
@Cerridwyn @therealjrn kind of makes him the prefect scapegoat!
@JnkL is to blame for this!
@therealjrn
does it really matter?

@Cerridwyn @f00l @therealjrn True
Not a lot of spirited nominations this month.
I blame the last two months of less than mediocre goats. Of course, I am to blame…
I hope we see greatness in the days ahead!
@JnKL no, but @aetris had requested October months ago. Maybe no one is nominating anyone out of respect to our pizza goat?!?
@aetris @JnKL @tinamarie1974
Maybe there is nothing left but third-string goats now that we have arrived at the time when anyone that cares has already been goated?
#PeakGoat
@aetris @JnKL @mike808
/giphy oh snap
@aetris @tinamarie1974 I wasn’t aware of the goat request of someone else who wanted to be goat. Good on them!
And, nice burn! I totally resemble third string goat. I had good ideas and intentions at the beginning of the month. Alas, life gets in the way of good intentions. Go ahead, roast me!
@JnKL - I doubt we can even DREAM of being as goaty of some of these old goats.
@aetris @JnKL @tinamarie1974
IMHO, uncontested goat selections sound more like a participation prize and less like a selection of the crémë dē la çrèmê.
Hence, we have reached #PeakGoat.
Stick a fork in it. The Meh goat meme has run its course.
@aetris @JnKL @tinamarie1974
And to give unblame for not being as lame as @nolrak during your goatdom. I guess that’s the consequences of lowered expectations.
@aetris @mike808 I’m pretty sure Nolrak and I tied.
@aetris @JnKL @mike808 don’t lose faith! Give goat a chance!
No pressure @aetris…
@ybmuG
Tomorrow will tell the tale.
I mean tonight! Thirty days hath September… Yeah, tonight. Man! Time flies whether you’re having fun or not.
@aetris
/giphy anticipation!
@aetris Well that didn’t take long to get your icon. Welcome to the club.
How does this get bumped to the front page?
Or why is it just not there?
@2many2no Is it not there now?
@2many2no @mike808 How about now?
@2many2no @mike808 @ybmuG Did you try jiggling the handle?
@2many2no @mike808 @therealjrn OK, best comment today! I’m out!
