New year, new goat! (January 2024 goat nominations)
10It’s almost the end of 2023 already?! And almost 2024?! That means that old 1968 calendar is usable again! Thanks, @indifferentdude!
Also that means it’s time to nominate a new meh goat of the month!

Everybody i can think of has been declared ineligible by their state.
@phendrick The option for @mediocrebot or no goat at all is there too. Someone just has to make that call.
I nominate Irk Stuffie. Does he have an account?
@heartny I imagine he is good at getting blamed.
But can he type, to respond?
@phendrick Maybe he can use voice to text?
@heartny If push comes to shove, I think Irk would serve well enough as a Goat. I’m sure that something suitably Oracular in nature could be achieved to generate his responses.
Or I could nominate my extremely taciturn queen-of-the-household cat, Freya, whose responses are generally in the form of Very Stern Looks. (I would not want to nominate Kitsune, who’s nearly as talkative as I am. Nor our black cat, Star, whose overall proclivities are guided by a constant watchful evaluation of opportunities to get away with mischief.)
@heartny yes! Stuffie the ballot boxie for Irk Stuffie!
@heartny @ybmuG As long as you all understand that Irk Stuffie may not have much to say about any Blame or Unblame, I don’t see a huge problem here. (I’m not the All-Seeing Authority, though, so take my opinion for what it’s worth. Hint: Value less than one-tenth of a TrackR.)
@heartny @werehatrack we’ve had worse
@heartny @werehatrack @ybmuG
He’d fall off the table… Damn those cats!
I’m going out on a limb here; I’ll nominate @pakopako solely on the basis of the lack of an extant dead goat icon adjacent, and for having failed miserably at remaining invisible. The latter is, of course, not a genuine qualification as such, but the former certainly is.
I have no doubt that @pakopako would welcome competition for this “honor”; let the genuine debate begin!
@werehatrack I’ll second the motion. Does it mean it passes now?
@sohmageek still needs two more clicks on the star to overtake Irk.
@sohmageek @werehatrack what exactly has he been up too? I mean I can Google it.

Personally I was down for a cat named Freya…
@sohmageek @unksol @werehatrack
Well, if Freya has her own account, you can nominate her mext month.
@Kyeh @sohmageek @werehatrack still trying to figure out how to not mess it up
/showme Freya Beowulf as a cat
@Kyeh @sohmageek @werehatrack anyway point being I might be down for that next month. We’ve had at least two pet guardians already. Well three if you count mediocre bot. Many more of you count the other familiars
Is that the New Year?
@lonocat I believe it was and @pakopako beat a stuffed irk. Not that I’m a judge of such things. But based on the visable tally
@lonocat @pakopako @unksol
That’s resume material for LinkedIn.
So a January 2024 Goat having been unduly elected, we now will be unceremoniously blaming @pakopako for all manner of things, and unblaming as well when someone has unblame to share. The official announcement will be made by someone who is better at making celebratory declarations.
@werehatrack don’t you mean doomsday for the new goat declarations?
@Kidsandliz Oh, I can do Doomsday well enough, but this is not the right time for me to take on the task of trying to be humorous and upbeat. Maybe in June. I hope. And perhaps for a good bit of February and March. Right now? Not so much. Large parts of Face 2.0 go “ouch”.
