New model year goat! (January 2018 nominations)
15It’s boxing day, which means boxes or something, right?
It also means that @therealjrn’s reign is coming to an end and we must should nominate a new goat! Just remember, this is not an excuse!
Coincidentally and for no apparent reason at all, I’m looking at this shirt …

Misspellings don’t count?
I nominate @narfkace
@f00l It doesn’t count for the intended nominee.
It counts a lot for the nominator, though.

@narfcake
Poor @f0l0.
@narfcake
ORLY? What a convenient time for a rule change. This is the kind of shit a certain female former presidential candidate pulls.
@therealjrn shhhh, this isn’t real politics.
@therealjrn
Now, now.
PS.
Nominate someone who hangs out here.
You’ll feel better.
@f00l Oh, I feel great! I’m not the VolMo who singled a certain someone out for “special treatment” (on a completely different website) solely because of that certain someone’s political beliefs.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And now we have a very convenient rule change when it benefits a certain unnamed VolMo.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Looks very Real Clear to me!
@therealjrn You name someone you’d like to see inherit the title, and I promise I’ll vote for them, and even campaign a bit. I love an unlevel playing field, I really really do.
(Please don’t choose someone we know is ineligible, such as a former goat, or a member of staff, no matter how deserving.)
@f00l What??? Narfcake hasn’t been goat yet? Who would have thunk.
@Kidsandliz Been there, suffered greatly already. And the shirtgoat title is permanent.
I blame @therealjrn for thinking that I haven’t been goat already.
@narfcake I never mentioned your name Narf! There you go, thinking everything is ALWAYS about YOU again. smh…
@therealjrn
If this topic goes all political and becomes an analogy to larger world political events, I’ve lost interest.
No one’s done that in the Goat-voting thread yet that I’ve seen. (Not even @ignorant, who did the UID and font tricks.)
I hope we don’t.
Whatever person on staff put this as the Broadcast item, instead of a regular question, PLEASE put it back. Dammit.
@Shrdlu I just spent 5 minutes going up and down the thread list looking for this, never ever thinking to look in that stupid broadcast box!
@mfladd I did too! Then my sister says, looking over my shoulder as I reload the page, “it’s right thwre in that box, duh!” Has this ever been a broadcasted item?
I nominate, again, misspelled or not @CaptAmehrican - last month’s explanation:
“I nominate @CaptAmehrican as she manages to do a lot of sneaky slides under the radar, and because she voted for me to be September’s goat. She has started threads, can be counted on to post pics of tall ships and otherwise be involved in the brouhaha around here. And what is a better way to celebrate losing 60+ pounds than by being goat?”
@Kidsandliz You had me at tall ships.
@CaptAmehrican
If you don’t want this Great Goat Burden, perhaps you had better nominate some poor soul, so as to have some competition!
/giphy "great goat burden"
@Kidsandliz
@mfladd
Taller, pls.
@f00l These don’t get any taller. Don’t be so needy and ungrateful. Except the tall duck as it is!
@mfladd
Use Photoduck!
/giphy photo duck
@f00l more ship like would improve it
@CaptAmehrican GOOOOOAT!
@CaptAmehrican Hang on, Captain. You’re fucked.
@CaptAmehrican is this any better?
or this?
@CaptAmehrican
Better duck!
@CaptAmehrican
Hmmm.
/giphy snow Goat
@f00l
Ok that gif stays.
But try again.

I have now made a new topic (one NOT trapped here in Broadcast Jail):
https://meh.com/forum/topics/please-do-not-put-community-topics-in-the-broadcast-jail--its-just-mean
Go vote it up, and make some comments, so that it stays on top. Let’s have a revolution!
@mflassy First you bitchize my username, and now you are stealing and pimping out my meh penguin all around town?! WTF!!!
@mfladd
I’m a perfect angel.
@mflassy
@mfladd
Errr…
Yeah…
That’s my job.
@mfladd said to @mflassy:
Not tough enough for that crowd, darlin’?
You poor sweet thing!
Ok. You sit right down. The bench is right comfy.
I’ll see that you get a nice lemonade.
/giphy bitchize bitch
@f00l
Take your lemonade and…
@mfladd @f00l
For those who are wimps:
For everybody else:
I might have that backwards though.
@mflassy
@mfladd
I’m trying hard to not cross a line with lemons and gifs.
@mfladd
Sure thang, hon!

I nominate @hollboll she is back as a flask but just for the holidays so January should be flask free. We like her hanging around the forums and if she is goat she can’t leave us.
@CaptAmehrican
Thing are not looking so good for your Goat Avoidance Strategy, so far.
Hmmm.
@f00l Wow, I could tell that you posted in here and that I haven’t already read it, before even coming into this thread. Amazing!
@CaptAmehrican No offense, but you could have done better. Nominating a flasked individual will not help your cause. You need to nominate other eligible and worthy persons in an attempt to siphon and divert attention away from your nomination. Unless, you want to be goated. In this circumstance I would say “why?”.
Do you recognize the time and effort @therealjrn put into it. He was practically on duty 24/7. He must be utterly exhausted at this point.
@mfladd
He’s still cookin’, tho.
@lichme
Any sufficiently advanced technology …
: )
@mfladd
This is an excellent solution, and thank you, @Shawn.
We can’t just have one nominee even though we know that @CaptAmehrican is going to being going down with the ship this month.
For that reason, I nominate someone who is not under the radar, but has somehow still eluded the GoaT shackle. This individual is currently thinking…phew…people have forgotten about me.
@ACraigL, this is not the case. You can run, but you can’t hide. Februrary is coming.
I will leave further reasons for this nomination to @narfcake to articulate.
@mfladd He designed a shirt with a Christmas tree pooping out presents. That’s reason enough.
@mfladd Besides what @sammydog01 said, Thanksgiving Bird was the main good reason … but it’s too late now.
November 2018, OTOH …
@mfladd
@ACraigL Your silence says it all…
Tick Tock
@mfladd Silence? Or stoic confidence?
@ACraigL fear dread resignation
@CaptAmehrican be quick and blame the goat while you can… (grin - now ducking and running for cover).
@Kidsandliz Before we start swinging the blame hammer 'round…
Hm…
@therealjrn Sorry your job description trumps any post I am responsible for… just sayin’
/image blaming the goat
I nominate @connerbush
@connorbush We need a better reason for the self inflicted pain.
@narfcake I think you meant @connerbush my evil twin
@connorbush I forgot about him!
@connorbush Narc has a hard time spelling. Weirdly, he has no trouble seeing it in others.
@connorbush @therealjrn
@therealjrn Do you mean @narcfake?
@narfcake - check your email.
@thismyusername That is a cheesy way to bump this thread
