January Goat Blame-Game Thread {Officialish}

PlacidPenguin shared some links said Fri, Jan 1st 2016 at 12:08am ET

So until a more "official" thread comes along, this will have to do. (TC edit - officialish!)

Thank you @TaRDy for having served us well in December. Be free little goat.

Now the fun starts all over again.

Based on the results of the voting from this last week, our new goat is... @thismyusername (mostly because the name is missing "is" )

With that being said, i blame you @thismyusername for the fact that Meh is selling a mop today!

I got dinged at work because I had a synopsis of a publicly available technical troubleshooting article (complete with link back to the source) on an internal website that didn't require authentication. @thismyusername, why in the world do you think this is "confidential" data that would cause my company harm if the wrong eyes see it? It's a top search result on Google, you goofy Goat!

I'm unblaming @thismyusername for the lack of stupidity in the area last night. My doggie was calm and I got a full night's sleep.

Bought for myself a box set of Star Trek: TNG for $100. I was going to repackage it, and give it to myself as a birthday present.
Unfortunately, while the listing promised "Excellent Condition", and that the box set was "Like New", either the seller doesn't know what those terms mean, or the box set didn't get the memo.

The plastic cover for the DVDs is ripped, the DVDs themselves are dirty and scratched, and the plastic green holders for the DVDs are a joke. They are cracked, missing pieces to hold the DVDs in place, and while I was removing the tape from them to check if the DVDs were all there, pieces of the plastic were coming off with the tape. I'm looking now to see if they are even all there. Sigh...

So, while I am frustrated with you @thismyusername, at least I have time to look for a new box set and get it in time for my birthday.

- Didn't even bother finishing to look to see if all the DVDs were there.
  I suspected that at least 1 was missing, and once I saw that it was, I stopped.

  Good news: Seller agreed to accept return of the DVD set
  
  Bad news: Now i don't want to gift a new box set to myself for my birthday, so i have to find something else which i want. Oh, and now i have to deal with the hassle of returning this.
  
  I'm sure this is all your fault.

  I'd have posted pictures on here of goats being sacrificed, but then I'd have had to give a disclaimer that unless one enjoys graphic pictures, not to look at them if you're currently eating or drinking, or are thinking of eating or drinking.

I suppose I could blame @thismyusername today because it didn't rain, but then I'd have to unblame that I was able to get my truck fixed, smog checked (and passed), and at a couple thrift stores, bought a Powerpuff mug, a purple Pflatzgraff plate, a couple catshirts, an unworn AA 2471 henley, and an unworn meh face shirt for under $10 total ... and that's too many unblames.

- @FroodyFrog I would say about 98% of all the PPG merchandise has the trio. The remaining 2% would be individual, group, or of the villains.
  
  Before summer 1999, merchandise was few and far between; on more than one occasion, I've supplied shirts to Craig. Afterwards, the licensing floodgates opened and crappy merchandise marketed to kids were like everywhere ... though I suppose if it wasn't for that, then my 8' long display wouldn't have existed.

  I won't judge, but which of the trio do you like the best?
  (And yes, I'm being completely serious)

@Thismyusername

I blame you for the fact that I wasn't alerted that a listing for the Complete Animaniacs which was sitting at $24.92 (+$6 shipping) was almost over.
Now I have to go back to looking for it for less than the common $59 (although I COULD get it for $56.24).

  I really gotta learn not to have the volume on whichever device I'm using on loud when clicking videos here.
  (Not that that's the case here. I lowered it right in time)
