It's time people - July Goat Nominations.
12June is ending and @dashcloud’s time is coming to a close. We appreciate his efforts as goat. He is also Lord and Commander of the GISHWHES team this year. I can personally say from experience it is a lot of fun if anyone is interested. They still need team members.

Which brings us back to July nominations.
Please post your nominations of who should be July Goat. There are many worthy candidates here. So search your soul and decide on who you want to seriously torture, I mean - bestow this so-called honor to this month. Happy voting.
(Disclaimer - If there is any talk of doing away with the goat thing - I will cut you.)

You missed your chance to say, “Happy goating”.
Failure
@KittySprinkles Bitch, why do you always have to ride me?!
@mfladd Because, you’re my favorite bitch, bitch. Wave to the nice people.
@KittySprinkles I forgive you, bitch.
@TickledLizard
@mfladd
Don’t make me change this.
Nominating @mfladd… just because.
@jbartus DQ’d - nice try. (previous goat)
(bonus points if you remember this)
@mfladd I have yet to see an official source declare that to be a disqualifying factor, just saying.
Also, why is knowing about the Cone of Silence worth bonus points? Get Smart (1965-70) should be required viewing for all, having watched it is to be expected, not an achievement!
@jbartus @Thumperchick is the keeper of all things goats.
@mfladd she keeps track of who was goat when.
@jbartus resurrecting goats is forbidden as long as there are viable candidates (like yourself) BOO!
@mfladd
So…
You’re nominating @jbartus ?
@TickledLizard I am staying impartial on the nominations as poster. But i will vote. Frogs should also be careful.
@mfladd again, says you.
I’ll vote for @FroodyFrog/@FruityFraug/@TickledLizard though
@jbartus I tried to get a “Re-Goat the Goat” campaign going near the end of @mfladd’s delightful month. My efforts lost to a stronger campaign. If we ever start to run out of great candidates, though, you can count on my devotion to the cause. I would love to resurrect him for another slaughter.
@christinewas I just think the nebulous references to it ‘not being allowed’ are amusing when the whole thing is mostly a joke to have fun and was started by a Meh staffer who isn’t here anymore that nobody has managed to cite yet.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That said blaming @mfladd for things would be ever so much fun.
@jbartus
Regardless of how much fun it would be to blame @mfladd for stuff, rules are rules.
As stated in the past by @carl669, the Mehchronomicon doesn’t allow a double goat.
@jbartus there is no official rule for anything goat, really. I won’t vote to re-goat, though.
@christinewas @jbartus
@TickledLizard as @Thumperchick just confirmed there are no official rules for goating. Unless I’ve missed something the Mehcronomicon is another joke that basically amounts to excuses for @carl669 to insert some “fucks” and say “so say we all” so referencing that…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jbartus
The flaw in your logic is that @carl669 doesn’t need excuses.
@TickledLizard all I’m saying is he tried to cite TC as the officiating party and TC came in and refuted the claim. Some comic routine where we all get entertained by an utterance of carl669’s and have fun saying ‘so say we all’ doesn’t really enter into the equation.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jbartus
DID YOU JUST CALL THE MEHCRONOMICON A JOKE?
@mfladd would you feel better if I called it a comic routine?
@jbartus you are taking this far too seriously.
/giphy chill pill
@Thumperchick I believe the Mehchronomicon states that being too serious is cause for goat disqualification. @carl669? Could you look this up?
@Thumperchick I feel like you’re interpreting seriousness where there is none. O_o
Though I do and will continue to refute all claims of ineligibility on the basis of prior goatdom
@jbartus Your arguing about this is getting tiresome.
@Thumperchick Please don’t say that in rhyme, it sets off internal limerick attacks.
@OldCatLady
Eek.
Those are painful.
@TickledLizard It’s already looking like you’ll escape goatdom for yet another month …
@narfcake
@narfcake
It’s funny how you have hope (in thinking) that it will eventually happen.
@TickledLizard Wile E. did catch the Roadrunner eventually … right?
@narfcake
Are you thinking of Soup or Sonic ?
More recently:
@TickledLizard @narfcake
@mfladd @narfcake
Was LITERALLY just watching that.
@TickledLizard I know.
@narfcake @mfladd
Just for the record, I always felt like the Roadrunner was the bad guy.
Even though I believe that no person on this planet is “bad”, but just their actions, the Roadrunner was, and still is, malicious.
He IS the epitome of schadenfreude.
Nominating @brhfl
Stealing @christinewas’ description:
Brilliant
Responsive
Hip
Fun
Likeable
Overdue. @brhfl would be an excellent goat.
@christinewas Yes!
@KDemo @brhfl has been goated
@MEHcus Whew.
@OldCatLady Your time will come
@MEHcus Not if I change my username, it won’t.
@OldCatLady We will know. And then hunt you down like the Cat that you are!
All the pomp and circumstance befitting a royal goat coronation. Thanks, @MEHcus.
Has @OldCatLady had a turn at goat? Because a daily photo from her would be awesome.
@sammydog01 I concur! This old lady would certainly appreciate the eye candy!

Goat Bump
How about @BrettGlass I think he could handle all the shipping issues!
@therealjrn
/image nope
Goats need to be a good community mehmber.
@narfcake I guess I was the exception?
@mfladd
I nominate @acraigl.
@acraigl is deserving of this because of the thread Got an old Woot account lying around?.
It’s likely the longest thread started by a non-staffer (possibly the longest non-product thread including reveals), has been running nearly continuously for close to a year now, and isn’t even about Meh!
@acraigl also finally submitted a catshirt design after much badgering and prodding by @narfcake, so this would be a well-deserved honor.
@dashcloud I dunno … perhaps another month? His catshirt didn’t print.
@narfcake So you’re to blame here then- all your prodding to submit a catshirt, and when it finally happens, it failed
@dashcloud Oh sure, just blame the resident shirtgoat! I voted for it!
Maybe it’s YOUR FAULT, you scapegoat you!
@narfcake It’s pretty well established that the scapegoat can’t be blamed for what happens on Woot- here and most things in real life, yes, but Woot is definitely off-limits.
@dashcloud @narfcake
Actually, in this case, it’s not so much “Woot”, as the lack of “Woot”.
Therefore, it shouldn’t be off limits.
@dashcloud
@narfcake voted for my catshirt, so I was already a winner. Except for the fact that I lost terribly, further validating that I should refrain from doing another, and leave it to the hands of the experts (basically, the rest of the derby artists).
