Is it time to start thinking about nominations for the November Goat?
15I think that @ThumperChick has done an awesome job for October, and kudos to all the previous goats.
I'd like to nominate @cengland0 for this: https://meh.com/forum/topics/my-fuku-other-thing-shipment
He now has all the necessary accouterments for being a goat; I figure let's give him the chance!

I have a candidate, too. @joelmw because he's not a goatfucker. Seriously, you guys. He's not.
@bluedyn Aw, that's sweet. And, seriously, I'm not a goatfucker.
Thanks for your nomination. By the way, now would be a great time to describe what I did with all the goat items that I received.
I have a friend (parents of ex-girlfriend) that owns a lot of land. She has a horse and used to have 3 goats when I dated their daughter.
Anyway, I brought the items to them and discovered their goats died several years ago -- very sad. I tried to find pictures of them that I took back then but I seem to have "lost" most of the pictures I took when I dated their daughter. Although I still do not see her any more, I've remained good friends with her parents.
So they took the feed, salt lick, and other items and went to buy a goat. Unfortunately, the store was out of goats; however, as luck has it, they sell horse feed and horse salt licks.
My friends were able to trade all the goat items for the equivalent horse items. There was no transferring of money and they ended up with items they can use.
That was too bad about not having any goats in stock because I'd like to see them get a replacement for the ones they lost on their farm but at least they were able to get a good benefit of the products anyway.
@cengland0 You got a goat starter kit and didn't get a goat? I can't help but feel that this is somehow my fault.
@cengland0 It's never too late to get your goat.
@Thumperchick I would love to own a goat, especially one of those small ones. They are so cute but my HOA will not allow it. They already had problems with my chickens and ducks. :(
@cengland0 HOA su.....er Stink
I still think @TaRDy needs to pay for creating a browser extension to star his own posts.
@jqubed for the nomination, I will star your post and mine too. I do think it is a little early to be thinking about the next goat though, @Thumperchick still has 1 more SDF to screw us over with
@TaRDy I agree, it feels too early, but last month by the time I nominated you everyone had coalesced around @Thumperchick for the goat. Curse you and your goat hogging ways, @Thumperchick!
@TaRDy next week for Spooky Dock Friday, they should include leftover Halloween candy in the package. If they don't, we know who to blame.
@nadroj I think @Thumperchick needs to steal that phrase and post at 11:55 PM next Thursday "Goodbye Goat, hello Spooky Dock Friday"
@jqubed I concur.
WTH guys! It's only 3 weeks in! Am I so terrible at scapegoating that you must look for my replacement early? Have I not given you Goatfessions and numerous goaty gifs? What more do you people want?
@Thumperchick I agree. It's way too early to be dismissing you. But I had to get my nomination in before a consensus was reached. You've offered up many excellent goat images and taken gracious responsibility for all of our problems. That'll do, goat. That'll do. :-)
@Thumperchick I feel the same as @bluedyn
@Thumperchick You're doing a fantastic job. I fear if Im the next scapegoat, I will not be able to allocate the same amount to of time that you do.
@Thumperchick You know, it is your own fault that they are already trying to replace you...
@Thumperchick There, there, Thumper. If there's anything wrong with you, it's that you're too likable.
@Thumperchick I don't think I have blamed you very much this past month. I'm sorry. Then again, that's your fault . So for the next 2 days i will try and blame you a lot to make up for it . You are welcome @thumperchick.
@ceagee Oh good, I need more blame. Can't be a scapegoat without scapes!
I think @JasonToon would be a fine choice for scapegoat. Item descriptions are tricky to get right.
Should current and/or previous goats have nomination rights? Or even a sort of representative democracy + royal lineage where they select?
At the very least, can someone keep a list of past goats going so we can annoy them during the monthly selection process?
@snapster I think this is a list of the scapegoats (blame @thumperchick if I missed one): @ryaneil, @marklog, @studerc, and @thumperchick.
@snapster I nominate @snapster for scapegoat.
@marklog Is it possible to be an octopus and a goat at the same time? A goatopus? An octoat?
@bluedyn @marklog Why not? Syfy's already done Sharktopus. Also, so much easier to blame someone when you are unhappy with the day's product.
@marklog I like this... it is @snapster's fault we're all here.
@editorkid True, but @JonT is master of the forums. He bears a large responsibility for how much we're here.
@bluedyn Agreed. But without @snapster, @JonT wouldn't be here either.
@editorkid There are enough months for them both to get a turn.
@dashcloud before I anoyed customer service there was the most important goat of them all! I just can't remember who... They where the final Kickstarter to start this show. I'm not sure they embraced their title though. Must have been my fault? Bleat
@Ryaneil the guy they bought the meh.com domain from.
@Ryaneil @Thumperchick It was Dave Gray who put the Kickstarter funding over the top. Curse you Dave Gray! I wonder what did happen to him? Maybe we did not meet his expectations.
@barnabee I think he fell off a white latter
I'm still going to nominate myself... Since no one wants to nominate me... :(
@BillLehecka Happy to nominate you if you'll nominate me- I've failed 3 months in a row
Normally this would be where I would make my Monthly Plea to get @starblind Made the goat for the month (epically since he's recently cooked 5 people https://meh.com/forum/topics/why-sellouts-are-our-goal) However the argument for @cengland0 to be the goat is just too great and I must yield to this wisdom. besides Meh thinks he is goat. how perfect is that? (Don't worry @starblind your turn is coming)
@Foxborn But... I've been such a good boy.
@Foxborn @Starblind
I saw this tattoo the other day and thought that would be a nice one for me to get :)
@cengland0 I just got this. After seeing it at least 3 times and asking myself why someone would get that tattoo on their head. I finally get it. facehoof
@Thumperchick I thought it was creative to explain all the hair loss. Can blame the goat for eating it.
@Thumperchick - I just took it at face value until you pointed that out. I guess it takes a goat . . .
This is my nomination 👇
@JazzyJosh said 9 minutes ago:
What if I said I would buy a speaker dock if it came with an Irk mug tomorrow?
@Ryaneil A vote for me is a vote for Irk mugs. That's all I'm sayin.
I nominate @bluedyn, for this (https://meh.com/forum/topics/weve-failed-as-internetizens-today) in light of this (https://meh.com/forum/topics/yesterday-was-the-birthday-of-the-internet-no-big-deal).
@joelmw Because it was either horrible or brilliant. Or both. In any case, goat-worthy, and, I have to say, indicative of a broader pattern of disgustingly fun-loving behavior.
@joelmw I think it's no coincidence that the internet's birthday and national cat day are the same day.
@bluedyn I know, right? But I'm not sure that it's a good coincidence. ;-p
