New goat resolutions (January 2019 Nominations)

narfcake thought this was worth mentioning said Tue, Dec 25th 2018 at 8:23am ET

A huge round of applause to the current goat @tnhillbillygal, who will still be taking (un)blame ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE YEAR!! Woohoo!

That also means that it’s that time to nominate who is worthy of carrying on with the tradition of meh scapegoats into the new year.

Or at least the new month …

Did @mike808 somehow get spared last month? He was due, I believe, and it’s time for him to get his comeuppance…

- @narfcake @shahnm I second this nomination. He is deserving because of his crude and lascivious post. On a prior thread a conversation was taking place about a pair of Christmas deer innocently frolicking on a hat. Apparently, the deer just happened to be positioned in a way for a certain individual to misinterpret their position.
  To which he posted this…
  
  Do not bother looking for the conversation. Just take my word that it happened exactly the way I said, and GoaT him for his wildly inappropriate behavior.

  If we’re are going to start re-goating people, you get to go first in being Goat your second time round. Right?
  That seems only fair.
  
  Unless we re-goat @mfladd/@mflatt.
  That seems magnificent.

- @sicc574 besides sniveling or whining gets you out of being a goat sometimes. Worked for me for around 2 years until the month I had 8 days notice I was moving to another state. Then I wasn’t believed, even when I offered up a death certificate I was still goated (and then was a crappy goat because of moving and starting a new, one year, job). Moral of this story is sniveling and whining works but use it judiciously.
