Let me be the first to congratulate @f00l as our October Goat!

Mehrocco_Mole posted some pics said Sun, Sep 25th 2016 at 1:17am ET

Too early? I think not.
@f00l can make verbose people seem like wallflowers!

Referring to oneself in the third person makes one look @f00l. Just sayin’.
When someone makes an exceptionally witty comment in the forums and only get one like and it’s from guess who? @f00l. #sigh

Tied for goat in September. Got all dressed up and still lost.

And last on my list at least. This.

Not a real reason I guess. I just liked the picture.

All in agreement?

It’s what’s expected – so when a nomination thread starts,

don’t vote for @f00l.

in this thread, i’m only starring my own posts.

  Don’t worry.
  
  There are certain people besides myself who would not want you as October goat. (We each have different reasons why, but our goal is the same.)
  
  So…
  
  How does it feel to not be wanted?

  @TickledLizard does not not want @f00l because of the reason which @f00l mentioned. In fact, @TickledLizard finds that they enjoy posts composed by @f00l.

  You are known to keep lists.
  
  And you are known to play Long Games.
  
  I don’t know who is on those lists; or why; or what might be their fates - and I cannot guess at the playbook of your various Long Games.
  
  Just that the reasonings might be complex.

- @TickledLizard We have enjoyed the posts of many past goats. You do not get honored by being goat unless you have posts people like. That is not a valid excuse for @f00l to escape being goat. That @f00l will now not star this post (see an earlier post) is further indication of goat worthiness because voting for yourself for goat is not a goat worthy action (and now starring this because of this post is also not going to work - Ha! You are now have a dilemma - ether way you are screwed). So say we all.

- @f00l No one is ready to be the goat - sink or swim you get thrown in. The few who want it do not get honored because they wanted it. You, on the other hand, would not be believed that you want it due to the level of noise you have made so far so switching tactics will not work.

i am going to sign on to one of my other accounts and nominate my self as ~~@f00l~~ goat, just so i can feel like i am in the in crowd.

i hate it when people use the same word twice in a sentence when it is not necessary to the sentence’s outcome - hate.

You’re all goats for giving into a system of oppression that chooses your goat through a manual selection, maaaaaaaaaan. This is corporate bullshit, the goat only becomes a goat through spiritual goatness
