Leap year goat (February 2020 nominations)
11An extra day in the year; this only happens once every four years. Or just making up for the aspect that a year is actually a little longer than 365 days.
Anyway, @stolicat has served his month and it’s time for someone else to take the role of meh scapegoat of the month.
So nominate away!

I nominate @KuoH. Again.
@sammydog01 @KuoH
Yass.
@kuoh @mike808 @sammydog01
What exactly does the person do for the month?
@star2236 Most importantly, you take the blame for everything that the meh-ites wish to blame you for, which can range from trivial first-world snivelings to honest heart-wrenching tragedies. This month’s blame thread, as an example:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/im-barbara-walter-and-this-is-2020-january-blame-thread
Beyond that, you have a platform to provide entertaining content on the forum, something I did not do very much of, but it’s optional. I’m sure others will provide examples of their favorites.
And you get that cute little goat badge next to your name.
@thismyusername I’m not sure which is stranger - that goat’s bad aim or the dog’s fairly passive, almost friendly reaction.
@stolicat @thismyusername I think they’re friends.
@therealjrn @thismyusername In that case … aww, that’s so cute.
Unlike dull and dark January, the advantages to GoaTing in February is a lot of calendar action that will generate much chatter, so you don’t have to worry too much about about being entertaining. You’ve got the superbowl, the impeachment proceedings, 4 early primaries, the state of the onion address, the inevitable Valentines Day angst, and Presidents day/week, it’s only 29 days long, and as the days get longer people will be calmer and happier. I highly recommend taking the opportunity …
@stolicat don’t forget Mardi Gras!!

@stolicat it is a leap year this year also
I nominate no one… you’re welcome
@amehzinggrace Well, they haven’t been too active yet, but perhaps they’ll step up…
I nominate myself. I am bored it’s the first day of classes and I am half tempted to give extra credit for people to write me a brief history of meh. Not only that but it’s the month the goat trophies go out (say what you will official or not don’t care) and somehow it’s my birthday this month. Lastly it’s vasectomy success reveal this month. Score.

@bleedmichigan
Note:
He’s volunteering for a second round. That outta count for something.
@bleedmichigan @f00l or maybe he is a masochistic?
/giphy giggle
@f00l @tinamarie1974 it’s an easy job plus then I can ramble on about my current project that I am submitting to the AHA for consideration for the 2021 annual meeting program
@bleedmichigan @f00l @tinamarie1974
…don’t you mean mehsochistic
@bleedmichigan @chienfou @f00l
/giphy I see what you did there
@chienfou @f00l @tinamarie1974
/giphy word play
@f00l there have been two time goats I have done the research
/giphy the results are in
@bleedmichigan You can ramble on about it anyway. Just create a thread. (grin)
I think the whole goat blame thing is played out.
@therealjrn Perhaps the position needs an image upgrade. How about Blame Engineer?
@therealjrn @ybmuG
Blame Consultant?
@stolicat @therealjrn Blame SME?
@stolicat @therealjrn @ybmuG oh I like this!
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
Secretary of Blame?
Or as in Trumpville, Acting Secretary of Blame.
They’re easier to hire or fire.
@stolicat @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
Thanks for adding in your political views. That makes it so much easier to demonstrate how worn out the goat meme is around here.
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG Glad to oblige. I’m pretty tired of goatness also after this month …
@therealjrn Yes, goat blame is overrated as fuck
@therealjrn maybe if there were trophies you would not feel this way. Oh wait there are trophies and they go out on my birthday 2/13
/giphy goat trophy
@bleedmichigan @therealjrn oh the suspense!!!
Anyone else notice it’s mainly goats and dead goats calling for the end of the goats?
@Mehrocco_Mole
I vote for @Mehrocco_Mole for goat.
The ungoated are afraid to say something fot fear of goating
@Mehrocco_Mole It’s mostly goats and dead goats posting here at all.
@CaptAmehrican Nah, I think they just don’t care.

I nominate @Cerridwyn, who has somehow not been goat, unless I’m missing them on the list, and who sent me a MURAL OF FLAVOR during a Mehxchange, and this is how I repay them?!?! tsk
KuoH (who I’m not nominating, even though I tried last month).
@UncleVinny oooohhh plot twist!
I nominate @amehzinggrace. According to their profile they haven’t been goat?
@RiotDemon shhhhhh…i’ve been living on the fringes under a rock for a reason…
@RiotDemon
; )
Is Tom Brady a Mehmber? (After he retires, he will need a cheap place to shop?) I keep hearing he is GOAT. Maybe nominate him.
