{VOTE} Last day of September GoaThood (unofficial) CONTEST give away
8OK so I have been a crappy goat this month (I did warn everyone and people didn’t listen so not my fault) and that was before other bad stuff happened…
Anyway in the style of fukos, fukus and mehrican exchange boxes, I have a box to give away. No promises of what is or isn’t in there except a promise that some of it is recycled from those very same “events”, some of it is not, and there will be at least one meh branded item in there. The box won’t be huge due to financial limitations with respect to postage but I can promise there will be a few nice things as I have to get rid of my storage unit and unfortunately don’t have room to keep everything I have stored.
Rules
- Post a photo, gif, or video under 1 minute of a cat that will make me chuckle
- One entry per person
- Vote for someone’s entry (you can not vote for your own and you only can vote for one, vote for more and you are eliminated)
- Everyone else in mehdom can vote too (but please only vote for one or I will eliminate all of that person’s votes).
- At closing the entry with the highest number of votes per the rules wins.
- Posting ENTRIES ends 10:59pm Central meh Time Sunday, October 1
- VOTING ends Monday, October 2 at 10:59pm Central meh Time to give people a chance to vote for last minute entries.
- The winner posts a photo of their haul.
- If you don’t like the rules, which entry wins, me, life or whatever… blame @RiotDemon who I presume/hope will be the new goat (almost made part of the entry rules that you had to go vote for her for goat… hint hint)

@Thumperchick @woodhouse @shawn could maybe the football stuff in the header photo be replaced by a cat? Pretty please?
@Kidsandliz you should email me at meh at my username dot com.
@jbartus OK
@Kidsandliz could you please check it. Slightly worried about something.
@jbartus done
@Kidsandliz all set!
You were an excellent Goat, both the Goat we wanted and the Goat we deserved. You may not agree, but the good news is that your opinion on the matter doesn’t count.
@jbartus Well thank you but I know I didn’t do it to the level some of our outstanding goats did…I’ll wait until tomorrow and then blame @RiotDemon just because.
@jbartus i would like to star, and second, your comment, but your gif only came in 2nd for me, so i can’t star it.
@jbartus This would so be one of my cats. I have two who think the tub faucet is their personal drinking fountain and the other two act like water will kill them. The one I bottle raised, even as a baby, hated to put her paws down on the grass, anything even remotely damp. One of my cats is incredibly lazy and after drinking sits there and uses the water from the faucet (eg puts her paw under there) to clean her face rather than lick her paw and do it.
@ACraigL I do wonder how they caught their cat doing that.
Bishop to King…Checkmate.
@mfladd A long while ago I had seen a longer version of this. I would so love to put boxes like that for my cats/ I am sure they’d be doing the same thing.
Ugh, after the voting is done, I’ll have to come back and basically star this whole thread. I’m already chuckling.
/giphy no cat here
@mbills2223 One incredibly laid back cat. My youngest cat would end up stalking and jumping on that baby wanting to play back.
@Cerridwyn One lazy cat! I had one (many years ago) who’d prop himself against walls. I couldn’t imagine how he found that comfortable.
@Kidsandliz Your reign has included five named storms, and damage still to be calculated. My own term only managed two, so in terms of disruption, I think you hold the goat record. Congratulations?
@OldCatLady You forgot the earthquake. I am not sure I have enough “unblames” left over to deal with all of that blame.
@Kidsandliz
Dont cancel my vote pls. I am starting mere remarks. Promise I will only vote for I’ve entry.
@f00l I am only looking at votes attached to the actual image/giphy/video, not to people’s side comments.
/giphy cat funny
@CaptAmehrican Whomever paired these two clips was a genius! They fit together so well. Made me laugh.
poor silly kitty talk about a meh landing
@candiedisilvio1 For as far and high as cats can jump, when they have such a spectacular fail you do wonder how they managed that.
@Kidsandliz All the time they’re amazing. I wish we had that ability. PS It’s great hearing from you and you were on amazing goat
@candiedisilvio1 Yes cats have some pretty cool abilities. And thanks. I was sort of delinquent on the job due to everything and didn’t do anything special like some of the goats have done.
Still time to enter this contest give away and to vote!
My cats arguing. I think he was mimicking my wife while we were moving.
@ZombieWrangler ummm, cats?
@mollama he’s a little confused… (grin)
@ZombieWrangler omg, this got my dog so riled up. Holy cow.
@ZombieWrangler @RiotDemon It panicked one of my cats who was next to me when I played it and she jumped down and went under the bed LOL
/giphy cat bump
What hardly anyone wants free stuff? Some of it guaranteed to be new, at least one meh branded item… I blame @riotdemon that hardly anyone has entered or voted.
@Kidsandliz I’m not goat yet. I don’t accept this blame.
@Kidsandliz Do you know how hard it is to find cat videos on the internet?!?
/s
@narfcake probably just as hard as it is to find catshirts.
@Kidsandliz Purrcisely!
Which is why I haven’t worn a catshirt all this month so far!
@narfcake ummm you own a zillion of them. Or are they all part of a museum?
@Kidsandliz Not quite a zillion … yet.
(Keep in mind that we’re only into the 2nd day this month. )
This is not an entry since I can’t enter twice
@Cerridwyn did you photoshop that or find one that was a cat and goat? Fitting.
@Kidsandliz I found it
Google-fu
/giphy Silly cat
@hems79 that cat is silly indeed. Washing reds and whites together.
@RiotDemon My kid did that in around 5th grade and had a load of pink. Good thing they grow pretty quickly at that age. The upside is by the time they don’t she was careful with her laundry.
@RiotDemon Now that looks like a displeased cat. One of my cats once had a poop turd attached to his butt by a human hair that had gone through his digestive system.
@Kidsandliz he has resting grumpy face.
There’s been several times with my cats and dog that I’ve had to rescue them from the scary poop chasing them because the animals are my hair. Why tf animals eat hair, I don’t know.
@RiotDemon I was once dog sitting a cocker spaniel who apparently ate a rubber band. He had a bungee poo that greatly disturbed him. It was one of the funniest things I’ve seen an animal do in person.
@djslack haha, animals are gross. Luckily the dog pooed it out.
@narfcake Some of the dog and cat friendship shots amaze me.
This one just about killed me:
@UncleVinny sort of like a gerbil exercise wheel. I am surprised the cat didn’t bail.
@Kidsandliz Maybe the cat’s own private treadmill. What puzzles me is why would you want a table that spins like that as it looks motorized.
@Kidsandliz is not motorized. It’s just a lazy Susan table. You put all the food in the middle, that way you can spin the food around so people can dip their own without passing heavy bowls/plates around the table.
@Kidsandliz
/youtube cat exercise wheel
Sneak in some entries folks - the rest of you need to vote. Since I am, apparently, still the goat you can blame me you were late with it.
@Kidsandliz I blame you for not giving up the badge - goat-keeper!
@Thumperchick Thanks for changing the image over. But I am not the goat keeper - you, I think, must be the goat keeper since you keep starting the
tortureblame threads. I was just the innocent, little, sweet, harmless, long suffering goat who got a temporary goat tattoo for a month.@Kidsandliz nope, you totally kept it for an extra day.
/giphy shifting blame
@Thumperchick Innocently hmmm (grin; also cool gif).
If you are willing, could you add to the title of this thread “Vote for the winner”? I guess now that she has been goated I can blame @riotdemon for my rather sparsely participated in give away.
@Kidsandliz You contest is a good one and very kind of you. It is people that SUCK, in general.
@Kidsandliz updated.
@Thumperchick Thanks for doing that.
@Thumperchick What the heck happened to the exploding in fire bird with the wings gif that was there? That was was cool Now it is just a man with most his pants off.
/giphy kitty cat bump
Looks like @jbartus is the winner! (so I need your address).
Thanks all for playing.
@Kidsandliz I won? Shit.
I didn’t mean to win!
@jbartus first person to post usually wins these it seems.
@jbartus Well if you want we can open it back up and continue voting or I can draw an entry out of a hat or…? Your choice since this is now your prize.
@RiotDemon Oh, I didn’t realize that. Had I known I would have structured this differently so everyone had a fair chance - like random draw or something.
@Kidsandliz is just the fact that some people don’t come back to threads after they read them once.
@Kidsandliz @RiotDemon it’s not even just that. There’s TLDR syndrome that factors in, and I’m pretty sure that there’s a natural psychological phenomena of bar-raising where when you’re asked to rank one of a succession of items it becomes successively harder for subsequent items to eclipse the prior entries in your mind. My post also probably got a boost from the sentiments I expressed in it.
@Kidsandliz I would prefer that you use your judgement to determine means and pick from one of the other entrants. I really wasn’t trying to win and for various reasons feel like the voting was skewed in my favor.
@jbartus Well then I’ll just randomly pull a name out of a hat or I can assign each of the entries a number and then you tell me what number you want pulled.
@jbartus
I voted after the close of entries, and I liked yours best.
So there.
@Kidsandliz either works.
/roll -bg
You rolled a total of 6
@f00l well that’s good. I liked the Shaq and box chess ones best myself
@jbartus OK so I have assigned everyone in random order) a number from 1-13 as that is how many entries there were, including you (unless you don’t want to be included - so let me know). Please pick a number.
@Kidsandliz
/roll -bg
You rolled a total of 7
@jbartus don’t you have to roll a 13 sided dice?
/roll 1d13
You rolled a total of 1
@RiotDemon that’s weird I tried rolling a 10 sided die the yesterday before she gave a count and it fell on its face. So I checked help and saw only mention of D6 and D20 and decided rolling two sixes was fine. I just assumed I’d be number 13 if it came down to it.
@jbartus let’s look again.
/roll --help
Usage: /roll XdY
Roll X Y-sided dice
Examples:
/roll
rolls 1 6-sided die./roll d20
rolls 1 20-sided die./roll 2d20
rolls 2 20-sided dice./roll 2d20+5
rolls 2 20-sided dice and adds 5 to the total./roll 6d20b2
only counts the best 2 values of 6 20-sided dice./roll 6d20w1
only counts the worst value of 6 20-side dice./roll 2d20+5d10
combines rolls of 2 20-sided dice and 5 10-sided dice./roll 6d20 --show
rolls 6 20-sided dices and shows the value of each dice./roll -bg
Boardgame mode. Rolls 2 6-sided dice./roll -c
Chance mode. Rolls 1 100-sided die./roll -y
Yahtzee mode. Rolls 5 6-sided dice.@jbartus it looks like any option:
So
/roll 1d13
You rolled a total of 11
Or
/roll d13
You rolled a total of 13
@jbartus No you were not number 13. Please roll again so that everyone has a chance. If you don’t want to be included let me know and I will adjust the numbers.
@RiotDemon apparently it just doesn’t love me.
@Kidsandliz bah!
/roll 1d13
You rolled a total of 13
@jbartus So this time it included all numbers 1-13 and someone got lucky being #13 this time around? If yes then I will announce the winner.
@Kidsandliz the dice has spoken.
I blame @riotdemon that @jbartus doesn’t know how to pick a number between 1-13. Sheesh.
@Kidsandliz at least I tried to help with the dice.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@RiotDemon Also looks like he posted just about when I blamed you as his post wasn’t up yet. Oh wait. I get to blame you again LOL Hmm I have 5 or 6 unblames leftover. You want them?
@Kidsandliz I’ll only take what I deserve.
@Kidsandliz I know how. I just wanted it to be completely outside of my control.
YO HEY @jbartus What number did you pick that included all 13 numbers when you chose? I have seen several rolls and I need to know which one so I can mail this thing off. Thank you.
@Kidsandliz you didn’t like the first few so I rolled a 13 out of 13 last time.
@jbartus I didn’t know the first few were rolls you had made were for this. You had said that one roll was only out of 12 and not 13 as you had presumed you were #13… So of the rolls you made which one do you want me to use?
@jbartus OK I see where you declared above that you were calling it as 13… missed that when I posted this.
/giphy Drum roll please
After much back and forth, because at @jbartus wanted the winner to be truly random (and he also said he didn’t want to win - seriously?)… He rolled the LUCKY NUMBER 13.
AND THE LUCKY 13 RANDOM WINNER IS ---->>>>
@CaptAmehrican
May all your 13’s on a Friday be so lucky. (Yeah I know it is only the 6th today, but 13 has been declared lucky on a Friday).
Please send your lucky address to me at either my username at meh or mericanexchange6 at meh.
OK so that giphy of a cat is not a drum roll but since this is a cat thread I left it.
