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!

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.

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…
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!
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.
/giphy We’re waiting!
@mike808 or maybe I’m December’s goat too…
M-E-E-E-E-E-E-H!
