@Walterbird You’ve been ready, but your Mom needed you. I’m glad she must feel well enough now for you to be the goat. Or maybe she just wants you distracted for a month and out of her way.
@caramelarrow She has been through her two surgeries and is on the mend and other than provide her moral support, my calendar is clear for other challenges.
One of these days, when I have time to spend here, I’ll nominate myself. But that’s not likely to happen soon, lol. I seem to have missed several days this month, of even logging onto this cursed site. (And I haven’t got an IRK in nearly 3 years, if that is any indication of my “Meh-ness!”) So I am a really poor and pathetic future nominee.
Blame: I find myself embarrassed when I try talking about stuff here on Meh to people in my life who’ve never heard of it.
“Well, it’s a site that sells one item a day for cheap.” Okay.
“And it has a forum.” Okay.
“And they elect a scapegoat every month.” Uh - okay.
“And one month they elected a bot.” Okkayyy…?
“And this month they elected a bird. Kind of.”
Whatever.
@Kyeh@Walterbird Don’t think he’s been sworn in yet.
Maybe there’s a dark horse candidate to be goat, instead of a bird. (What a menagerie we’re forming.) Me, I prefer dogs.
Nominating @walterbird
Whaddya think, @Walterbird? Can you handle it this month?
@Kyeh I’ve been ready for months.
@Kyeh @Walterbird
/giphy Bird Goat
@tinamarie1974 @Walterbird
Wow, what a great image.
@Kyeh @Walterbird I definitely got lucky

I second @walterbird

@CBL_WV Don’t fret it – we’ve had multiple goats that barely had any time (or no time at all) for the entire month.

@Walterbird, another blame for you. This time from @Kyeh
Oops, posted here instead of the blame thread; thanks, @tinamarie1974.
Also @Walterbird’s fault.
@Kyeh I think @Walterbird is getting off tona stronf start on the blame front lol
@tinamarie1974 @Walterbird
You can blame him for your typos there, too.
@Kyeh @Walterbird
/giphy giggle
@Kyeh So you are going to blame me for putting your complaints in the wrong thread also?
@Walterbird I did already.
I think grammatically it would be “June 2022 has nominations”… unless you meant GOT, like Game of Thrones. Or was it more of a slang phrase?
@mbersiam @narfcake
Or just a typo of “goat”?
@Kyeh @mbersiam Typo. Or maybe the odd toe co wreck. @yakkoTDI is innocent; I accept the blame for this.
@Kyeh @narfcake yeah I knew it was a typo, I was just being facetious.
@mbersiam @narfcake
We could blame Meaty Okra Bot.
@Kyeh @mbersiam
/giphy Meaty Okra Bot
@mbersiam @narfcake
@mbersiam @narfcake
He’s mad because we’re on to him!
@Kyeh @mbersiam @narfcake If Meaty Okra Bot suddenly develops an autoresponse to that name, we’ll know it was worth the effort.
@Kyeh @mbersiam @narfcake @werehatrack
Meaty Okra Bot, is … the best!
@mbersiam @mike808 @narfcake @werehatrack
And anyone who disputes that, for shame!
Five shame, at least. I’ve checked the numbers.
@Kyeh @mbersiam @narfcake @werehatrack
But did you check the number of ants?
Yeah, that’d be awesome.
@Kyeh @mbersiam @narfcake @werehatrack
One thing that is still the same - Mediocrebot is an asshole.
I will now proudly note that as soon as I STFU and let someone else nom @walterbird, he won.
Yes, my silence was intentional.
@werehatrack
/giphy it’s a conspiracy
@chienfou @werehatrack I would not read into it, sometime things are just a coincidence
@tinamarie1974 @werehatrack
That’s EXACTLY what one of the conspirators would say…
/giphy big grin
@chienfou @werehatrack nah, way more important things to worry about this year. Hell, I wasnt even here for a few months!
/giphy paranoid
@chienfou @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack
Anyway, …
Maybe we also should have a Vice-Goat, for when the Goat goes Missing in Action (miniscule chance that might happen, what? @yakkoTDI)
It strikes me than many around here should be good at vice.
@phendrick I don’t think we’ll have to worry about @Walterbird. He’s been yearning to be the goat for months now.
@Kyeh @Walterbird Don’t think he’s been sworn in yet.

@phendrick @Walterbird
Well, @sammydog01 has already been a goat. Also @chienfou.
@chienfou @Kyeh @sammydog01 @Walterbird
Hunh! ILT that chienfou represents an animal.
Anyway, I guess I brought a hen to the table without thinking about it.
In fact, now I’m beginning to wonder how so many Meh users are passing the cap cha tests.
@Kyeh @phendrick @Walterbird Yeah we will probably have to shut him up and then blame him for that while we are at it.
@Kidsandliz @phendrick @Walterbird
Although since his typing method is literally “hunt and peck” he might not be that prolix.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh @phendrick Hey I get by
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh @phendrick @Walterbird I think Walter deserves as much of a chance as every previous goat.
Worst case we have another month of an absentee goat, best case he makes it fun.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh
@phendrick @tinamarie1974 @Walterbird
WTH , why not?
