June Goat Nominations

@sammydog01 I second the nomination of @dashcloud

@mfladd And I just starred my own post to vote, so that’s another black mark on my member page.

@sammydog01 The page does not understand there are exceptions to the rule. You are good.

Agreed, @dashcloud needs a goat trophy.

@sammydog01 done and done. Welcome to goathood @dashcloud.

@narfcake

Apparently the internet doesn’t have any poison dart frogs facepalming, so;

@FroodyFrog Well you’ll just have to be the first, then!

(Hi @jaremelz! Hi @carl669!)

@narfcake She/He is next.

@narfcake

The internet as a whole is not ready to see a picture of me.

@mfladd I always thought @FroodyFrog is a he, but I could be completely wrong too.

@narfcake @mfladd

I usually don’t check my gender, but that’s because I’m fairly confident with what it is.

@narfcake Oh shit. I edited for both. WTF? We don’t even know. That ain’t right. But some frogs do asexually reproduce.

@mfladd @narfcake

So now we don’t even know?

@FroodyFrog

@medz well done, goat.

Now that I look at this thread slightly more clear-minded, I probably could have done without this post.

@FroodyFrog

@jqubed

?

@FroodyFrog Well, on the tour, the film said they used frog DNA to fill in the gene sequence gaps. They mutated the dinosaur genetic code and blended it with that of a frog’s. Now, some West African frogs have been known to spontaneously change sex from male to female in a single sex environment. Malcolm was right. Look…

Life found a way.

@jqubed

I see.

Well most of what you wrote was recognized as shapes which my mind refused to make sense of.

I’ll try again later.

@FroodyFrog Have you not seen Jurassic Park?

@jqubed

Nothing to do with that. I’m seeing side by side posts of blurry characters right now.

@FroodyFrog Strange, looks fine on my phone.

@jbartus @mfladd has already been goat. Absolutely the worst goat EVER! But we love him anyway.

@jbartus The star is for the comment about he who must not be named, but didn’t mfladd just have a go at goat?

@Barney @jbartus @sammydog01 BLEAT!!!, nevermore.

@sammydog01 @jbartus @Barney @mfladd

This past August

(Oh, and @jbartus - way to be rational. I blame @Medz that you did that.)

@FroodyFrog What a fucking long month that was.

@FroodyFrog

What’s wrong with people being rational?

@9NotCarl669

A lot of things.

@9NotCarl669 oh no…what a username! There can only be one @carl669.

@mikibell

Phew, they changed it.

@Barney Is there a(n un)written rule somewhere dictating that goathood is a one time thing?

@jbartus YES!

@jbartus @mfladd is correct. It is an unwritten rule. Anyway, there are more than enough Mehniacs who qualify to be goat.

@Barney who made this rule? @mfladd is clearly up to something and I feel like he’s being so sneaky that the only way we’ll be able to blame him for whatever he’s up to is if he’s blamed for everything.

@jbartus There are no rules when it comes to goathood. All I’m saying is that we have discussed in the past that we were not going to elect (sentence?) a goat to a second term. Do whatever you want. It is the voting that ends up determining who is to be goat.

@jbartus let us consult the mehcronomicon.

“There shall be one goat to rule them all. But that shit’ll only last for one month because this ain’t congress. So say we all.”

@FroodyFrog who the fuck is @9NotCarl669?

@carl669

@MehtricScale before they changed their name.

@carl669 Someone who was being cute and has now disappeared. (I used to have an anti_barney.)

@Barney

You found it cute?
I didn’t.
Then again, you’re not me, so I guess all is good.

@carl669 it’s not me, but…

@jbartus It’s the community that doesn’t accept me, pal. You’re a bunch of old liberals, I’m a young conservative. It just doesn’t work. Literally every single time I’ve expressed an opinion that goes anywhere near the category of politics, I’ve had a bunch of you (jackalopes) gang up on me. Everyone always acts like everything is my fault 100% of the time. I’m already the GOAT. Goat Of All Time. Maybe President Trump will find a way to deport all liberal (narwhals) to Antarctica. I hope all you (dragons) make good on your pledges to fucking move to Canada.
(TC)

@Dizavid Dude. WTF?

-not old, not liberal, but able to get along just fine

@djslack @Dizavid

There are certain topics I don’t talk about with people just because I know everyone has drastically different viewpoints, and near the top of the list is politics.

(Of course, I don’t use social media, so it makes it significantly easier for me…)

@FroodyFrog don’t look now, but you just posted on a forum that is a type of “social media” .

@ceagee Shhhhhh.

@narfcake @ceagee

Actually, according to Google, when used as a verb, “use” means:

take, hold, or deploy (something) as a means of accomplishing a purpose or achieving a result; employ.

When used as a noun, it means:

the action of using something or the state of being used for some purpose.

When have I EVER posted on Meh forums for a purpose, or on purpose?

---

And just because:

@FroodyFrog Logic overload! Dammit, why aren’t you the goat yet?!

@FroodyFrog Holy Shit. Is she part gecko?

@mfladd This may be the longest I’ve ever looked at anything @FroodyFrog has posted . . .

@mfladd
The first one, or second one?

@narfcake
Speak to @Barney to find out how a Democracy works. (Of course, even communist countries have been known to have “elections”, so…) Then again, Meh might be Oligarchic…

@Pavlov

Don’t worry, you haven’t missed much then.

@narfcake That wasn’t logic, that was plain old fashioned bullshit.

@ceagee

Phew. I’d be extremely disappointed if that would have been considered logical.

@djslack K, are you one of the like five active users on this forum who hasn’t jumped on me?

@Dizavid Yet. You may consider this a jumping on. I don’t, but I hope you may take some of it to heart and have fun here.

Here are some suggestions I’d like to offer for getting along. Take them how you will. They aren’t orders, more like a philosophy.

Do:

• post funny gifs
• make puns
• discuss the deal of the day
• discuss whatever else that’s not a don’t
• treat people how you want to be treated
• care
• potentially develop some sort of daily/weekly shtick

Don’t:

• jump on Meh for not getting your item before it said you would
• throw politics roughly where they aren’t being discussed
• generalize about and generally shit on your peers here
• take yourself too seriously
• keep harshing our mellow

I think there are some actual rules posted somewhere, but they boiled down to two words: “No Bullshit.”

It’s just a message board on a site that sells shit no one else bought to cheap people who will either buy it or crap on it. We’re a pretty friendly sort, I like to think. And we’re here to have fun. If it’s not fun and we’re not getting paid, then there’s no point in showing up. But it’s not for everyone, and that’s OK too.

Wishing you well,
djslack

@djslack

Here are the rules which you’re thinking of.

@FroodyFrog Danke schöen. I was being lazy.

@Dizavid again you insist on trying to politicize a situation that has no political angle. I’m neither liberal nor old, I get along just fine here, what’s your malfunction?

@Dizavid Down to four and I’m one of them? I don’t care about your political leanings, but I could tell you were young, because only millennials have that entitled I Want It Now mentality that you seem to have mastered. Oops, down to three.

@mfladd I think @mfladd would make a perfect 2nd term goat!

@sohmageek ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I am not starring that!!!

@jbartus I agree with your thoughts on D, wholeheartedly. I didn’t star it because @mfladd has already been goat.

@Thumperchick

Can you make this month go faster so that @dashcloud can be goatified already?

Thanks.

@FroodyFrog is there a particular reason you are trying to run @medz out the door?

@Thumperchick

Absolutely not. I was in a quandary about making the post. @medz has proved useful.

(Mostly though, it’s to make a point to someone about something.)

@Thumperchick Probably cuz I’ve gotten boring. This is like the worst time for me to be goat. Work is crazy and we’re trying to buy a house which as been stressful.

@medz

You boring?
Never.

@Thumperchick Wait, I starred that?! Thanks, for the heads up to pull my star back. Bleat!!!

@medz The Goat Manual for Dummies says that you can’t have a life while you’re goat. Look what happened to @Pavlov when he tried.

@medz So work is crazy and you’re buying a house. Those are your fault too.

@sammydog01 hey don’t lump us all together. Plenty of us millennials are well grounded individuals, it’s just the ones who aren’t that give us a bad name!

@dashcloud Are you trying to escape the responsibilities of goatdom BEFORE being goat?! Way to reinforce your nomination!

@dashcloud No splitting dashcloud. Time for your month of doom. Deal with it. @Pavlov has done his time and more. He was the father of making GOATS actually do shit. Damn you, @Pavlov!

@mfladd

Rainbow Dash!!!

(She’s my favorite, although that doesn’t mean that I don’t really like the others.)

@FroodyFrog I once checked out the first few episodes just to try to ‘get’ the whole brony appeal… I didn’t get it, but of them all Rainbow Dash was deffo the coolest.

@jbartus

I don’t quite get the whole brony fandom. (Or at least i don’t like the portmanteau)

@FroodyFrog

portmanteau

Well ain’t you fancy with them words.

@mfladd

I’m starting to scare myself…

@FroodyFrog I’d like to think it’s more a sign of the times - that shows aren’t gender specific, nor should one be “scared” to show it. Back in the Powerpuff days, despite having an audience that was more male and a sizable subset of those adults, many didn’t want to express their fandom, possibly for fear of ridicule.

@FroodyFrog you have just earned yourself goatdom next month for the word "portmanteau"
So shall it be.

@narfcake

I’m afraid you misunderstood me, or perhaps I didn’t express myself correctly.
I have no problem with people watching shows which differs from the intended audience.
It’s just that if the term “brony” was a sound, it would be a long grating noise in my mind.

@mfladd

Pffft. I’ve heard that before.

@FroodyFrog Misunderstand? But of course. I don’t think ANYONE here understands you!

@narfcake

Now, or in general?

Because @mfladd apparently thinks I’m confusing.

So if I understand this correctly we all need to vote @FroodyFrog in as the goat for June?

@jbartus yup…for vocabulary reasons (plus for being confusing)

@narfcake

I sort of understand him/her.

@MehtricScale

I apologize. That was not my intent at all.

@mfladd If I you would permit me to elucidate what I comprehend to be the ratiocination for nominating @FroodyFrog for the designation of Meh Scapegoat for June 2016 in order to delineate the justification of this nomination I would express the uttermost acknowledgement. Assuming that I interpret the morphemes you have uttered here with verisimilitude, your rationalization for recommendation that @FroodyFrog be elected is formulated upon the foundation of @FroodyFrog having made use of an exceptionally apropos denominator as a descriptor for the vernacular colloquialism ‘Brony’. Do these allegations correspond with your interpretation as to the precise chronological and circumstantial phenomenons influencing your proclamation?

@jbartus

@jbartus @mfladd

Nothing like that. It’s just the fact that I used the term “portmanteau”

And on that note:

(@narfcake)

@FroodyFrog isn’t that what I just said?

@mfladd what part don’t you fathom? Whether or not you will permit me to explicate, or whether my exposition was valid?

@jbartus

Possibly. But I got distracted by what I thought was a purple moose prancing about my desk.

@FroodyFrog

Dare I ask?

@MehtricScale

Probably safer not to. (Nobody else does.)

@MehtricScale it becomes apparent that fabrications of @FroodyFrog’s fantasy have begun to possess verisimilitude. If accurate, it is manifest that @FroodyFrog possesses an urgent necessity for qualified licensed support.

Edit: coming up with these words is exhausting, I’m done, I think.

@jbartus

Various times during each month, what goes on in my mind slips out.

I usually try staying away from the forums when that happens.

@MehtricScale likely @froodyfrog has been drinking… again.

@Kidsandliz

Not recently.

@FroodyFrog define “recently”

@Kidsandliz

~83 hours ago

@FroodyFrog Earth hours or some other one? You gotta be specific, y’know.

@narfcake Someone’s been overdoing it in the science fiction aisle…

@narfcake @Kidsandliz

I’d complain about all the knit-picking, but I feel like I possibly deserve this.

Plus, this is something I’d do to others.

@FroodyFrog Scratch out possibly.

@narfcake

Earth hours.

@FroodyFrog nit*

Origin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_louse#Nits

@jbartus

Knot if you’re knitting a knot.
(I’ve had this discussion here before. Let’s not repeat it. Especially not now with my mind spinning in ovals)

@FroodyFrog that’s not nit picking, that’s a knitting knot.

@jbartus Now that’s being nit picky. I mean, for all we know, @FroodyFrog might just be a picky knitter.

So can we skip this now and just enjoy one of @kevlar51’s designs?

http://shirt.woot.com/offers/prep-work

@narfcake
I think it was you I once had this conversation with.

@jbartus
tomato,potahto.

@narfcake I kind of want that shirt now…

@FroodyFrog If it happened, I don’t remember it … which is probably a good thing. Less evidence to incriminate, y’know.

@jbartus I included the link for a reason.

@narfcake
Good thing too, I believe most of the incriminating stuff won’t be found,.

@narfcake where was this link before I bought two bluetooth speakers I don’t need?

@dashcloud Um, no. But thanks for asking. Based on the current voting, enjoy your reign.

@dashcloud wow wow wow I can’t believe you would try to pass off the duties of goatdom to somebody else

@jbartus

Speaking of knitting knots, or knot knitting, this is a knitting checked:

@narfcake Know.

@FroodyFrog you scare me… not like I’m worried or anything… But more like trying to reason with my toddler…

@sohmageek toddlers are easier… ‘BECAUSE I SAID SO’

@sohmageek

@jbartus it’s like trying to explain what color the number 4 smells like!

@sohmageek

Lilac.

@sohmageek see above from @FroodyFrog

I am personally fan of the cherry flavor of nines.

@jbartus Does “I said so” work on this?

@Kidsandliz being sent to bed without dinner might.

In the unwritten rules is goathood-seeking a disqualifying offense?

@jbartus Generally so. For an official ruling, we need to have @carl669 consult the Mehcronomicon.

@dashcloud convene the inquisition!

@dashcloud @Kevin @jbartus let us consult the mehcronomicon.

“For he that would self promote, shall be granted neither goatdom nor a good fuku. Then again, this is meh, so, ya know… fuck it. So say we all.”

@carl669 the keeper of the mehcronomicon has spoken… fuck it.

@carl669

@jbartus Technically @CaptAmehrican nominated him and @Kevin just pointed it out. I’ll vote for you, and fuck off Kevin.

@jaremelz i love that show.

@jbartus I accept June goat nomination

@carl669 As do I.

@sammydog01 yes but Kevin is actively seeking it as evidenced by his pointing it out

@jbartus But I would enjoy a whole month of telling him to fuck off.

@sammydog01 does he need to be goat in order for you to do so?

@jbartus Good Point. FUCK OFF KEVIN. lol

@carl669 How could you not?

@polarbear84

@studerc was the goat for September 2014 (oddly enough, for the same reason. Well, to the 1st reason which you mentioned)
