Nearing the end (December 2020 goat nominations)
10Let’s face it, 2020 has not been a good year for many of us for various reasons, but the only way to get through it is to deal with December. And that means a new goat of the month here at meh – because giving a second month of goatdom to @jaybird is just way too much, even by 2020 standards.
So nominate away!

Is this it? Is this the end of the Lineage of Goats?
@UncleVinny No, but it is the last month of 2020.

2020: Year of the Dumpster Fire
2021: Year of the BOHICA
@mike808 @narfcake @UncleVinny You may need to explain for those who led sheltered lives. Me, I worked for USN for three decades, so:

Here you go…
@mike808 @narfcake @OldCatLady @UncleVinny is BOHICA considered a nautical term, or a military term? I was USN, so familiar from either angle.
@narfcake @OldCatLady @PocketBrain @UncleVinny
I think the colloquial lore is that it is military, originating in the Navy. Similar to SNAFU, ostensibly originating in the Army (or possibly Air Force, I can’t recall).
@narfcake @UncleVinny I have the 2020 Christmas tree ornament!
I nominate @Star2236
@RiotDemon
Does your nomination count as an automatic vote for @star2236 or do you actually have to earn a “ew” for a self-like for it to count?
@chienfou @Star2236 hmm, not sure if it’s ever been that close to matter.
If it did, I would give myself the like and then remove it after the tally is counted.
I nominate the newest mehtizen. No idea who that is, but I think trial by fire for the newbie could be fun.
@kykazaa Our newest ones may be a couple of spammers that showed up yesterday and early this morning.
@Kidsandliz spammers could be an interesting goat
@Kidsandliz @kykazaa @Kidsandliz @kykazaa do those accounts get canceled? If so, you can have a new goat every day and call it the 31 goats of Mehmas
Is @mediocrebot an option? He/she always has something witty to say
@kykazaa no staff.
@kykazaa @RiotDemon Wait, @mediocrebot is staff?
I thought it is staph…
8 dollars to any meh employee who can sleuth around and renew my VMP membership from back in the day.
@mbills2223 how long has it been expired?
@RiotDemon ooof…a good long time
@mbills2223 then probably not.
@mbills2223 Pay attention, at 11:55 PM ET, they may offer a one-year VMP renewal for $29.
@caffeineguy @mbills2223 can non-VMPs get in on that?
@kykazaa @mbills2223 no, I’m just kidding, will probably just be another t shirt or hoodie, maybe a Christmas ornament
@caffeineguy @kykazaa @mbills2223 “may offer”
@caffeineguy @mbills2223 @RiotDemon got my hopes up
@caffeineguy @kykazaa @RiotDemon
Lmaoooooo the disappointment continues
@caffeineguy @kykazaa @mbills2223 @RiotDemon
Consider it as winning a free virtual IRK.
@caffeineguy @kykazaa @mike808 @RiotDemon someone has to take my five dollars to get the full experience
What is a goat and what does it do?
@robthedude05 the goat is someone selected by the forum to take blame for mishaps at meh.
At least, that was the original goal.
@RiotDemon @robthedude05 For some backstory, here’s the history of the meh scapegoat.
June 2015 was about when the goat started to also take on thanks (aka unblames) when positive things happen.
OK, to keep this election honest, I nominate @PocketBrain for no particular reason except maybe this

@2many2no Ah, the retaliation nomination. Always a good call.
@2many2no I’m good with that.
@2many2no
NOOOOOOO!!! Never!!!
@2many2no @PocketBrain There’s been a couple “payback” goats already, so you’re in good company. Besides, it’s nowhere near the most absurd reason.

@mike808 or maybe I’m December’s goat too…
M-E-E-E-E-E-E-H!
