@Lotsofgoats damn, I have been misreading this the whole time. Got my vote! My 2nd choice is @FroodyFrog for not having any badges. It just feels like froody is walking around here naked.
I pay $49/year there (well actually, for the last 2 billings, someone else paid)
And fwiw:
In the 484 days I've been a meh-mber, i have only bought 1 thing (sorta how in the 5 years which I've been on woot, i only bought 2 things ever)
Because I've had numerous issues with Prime, once the 4 month extension in late 2016 is done, i won't have Prime anymore. Not worth paying for a service which gives me too many issues.
@FroodyFrog to be fair that is vote stacking.... now remove your star from this one, then scroll down and add it to the @Lotsofgoats one... you know you want to.
I want to do a lot of things, I just usually don't do those things because they could lead to world anarchy down the road. Now, granted, I'm a blue poison dart frog, but still.
I hereby nominate the CA based staffer whose existence makes the CA buyers pay sales tax. May their reign be long and full of blame for something people will certainly bitch about for the next 5 years.
If we're going to thank someone, @mikibell is pretty good at stealth gifting mehtizens. Off hand, I remember @studerc, @Thumperchick, @carl669, others I'm sure.
I know I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to remind y'all that @medztried to kill me. So, both to honor and rebuke, I hereby nominate @medz.
A few days ago, I was thinking @FroodyFrog was deserving of being magically turned into a goat, but a valid argument was made, so I rescind that nomination.
@AttyVette has, however, been perpetually posting puns on product pages. Well, okay, maybe not perpetually, but plenty. And I think she'll be in good comPUNy as goat. It's not like it's PUNinshment these days or anything.
@narfcake I was going to nominate @AtteVette again, so this one is starred. The puns are getting worse every day. Which of course makes me question whether I want to give her even more opportunity to post...
IF my say has any weight... No threats of Tping people this time... I think that @JonT has had enough time to repent... but hasn't... IT's past the 3 month probationary period... so I say we get him! That... or I think that or... I'll make a 2nd post...
@KDemo yes he did :( I was hoping to lure him back as a user. But meh. He's moved on and forgotten about us. @jont you are missed. I have no mehmber magic buddy now :(
@thismyusername - lol But whose fault that you needed more characters? There are probably other choices? At any rate, your name is goat for January. You know that means we love you. Cheers!
On the 15th I'll have been a meh-mber for 500 days, if i click neh everyday until then, I'll only have clicked it 55% of possible days (which doesn't make me feel as bad)
@Kidsandliz I am really a separate user id in the database I swear. ;) and the magic that let me speak human is fading... from now on only goat speak from me.
@FroodyFrog 1) I did not say these were new features and, 2) Your comment is an unhelpful arrogant dig. I have done my best to avoid you but you're making it very difficult. This is the most civil way I can say this - I do not wish to participate in the froody show.
@mikibell - Thank you. I just figured you deserved to be counted in the Mehxalted Order of Goatdom for your selfless giving spirit. Don't worry, there's always another month :-)
@FroodyFrog Yeah but @Pavlov said he'd be really busy Jan/Feb overseas with his job. So I think we need to get think about March with him. No point in electing someone who doesn't really have the time to serve.
I guess now it needs to be decided if you want a goat to thank, or to blame. And if one is wanted to thank, would that mean thank in a nice way, or thank in a sarcastic way.
Because as it stands, based on this thread so far, here's what i see:
It's not just for the coming month which i was asking for, it's in general, since i see different opinions for what the criteria behind the goat are for.
@FroodyFrog It really doesn't matter why or how we choose the goat. The reasons vary. Anyway, the goat is the goat. As for goat planning that far in advance? That's like herding cats. Things around here can change in an instant.
@Pavlov I think we already excused you in another thread for Jan and Feb. Guess we need to add March - but watch out for April Mr. almost Goat. If you come up with an April excuse we will need a note from @MrsPavlov vouching for your sneakiness that you arranged for work to get in the way of your life just to avoid finishing your reign LOL
I nominate @thismyusername because there's still not an "is" in there and everybody still gets all confused and shit
@Lotsofgoats
@thismyusername don't worry, my nomination is always a guaranteed second place so you're safe
@Lotsofgoats gulp
@thismyusername
That gulp wasn't nearly loud enough
@Lotsofgoats damn, I have been misreading this the whole time. Got my vote! My 2nd choice is @FroodyFrog for not having any badges. It just feels like froody is walking around here naked.
@TaRDy
I happen to be wearing a hat and socks.
(I probably should have read the above sentence in my mind first, but I'm too today with Amazon, Prime, and you (@tardy))
*too annoyed today
@thismyusername PLOT TWIST, YOU'RE DOOMED
@Lotsofgoats Good because I really WANT TO BE GOAT.
(think that will work?)
@thismyusername
I could see it going either way
@FroodyFrog What you have amazon prime but no VMP??? Traitor!!!
@Kidsandliz
I pay $49/year there (well actually, for the last 2 billings, someone else paid)
And fwiw:
In the 484 days I've been a meh-mber, i have only bought 1 thing (sorta how in the 5 years which I've been on woot, i only bought 2 things ever)
Because I've had numerous issues with Prime, once the 4 month extension in late 2016 is done, i won't have Prime anymore. Not worth paying for a service which gives me too many issues.
@Lotsofgoats
I have another reason to nominate @thismyusername : lots of self-starring
@FroodyFrog ? I think you might be a tad confused... I stopped self-starring as soon as they started listing name... ;)
@thismyusername
You must be kidding.
Exhibit A:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/new-years-nominations#5684ca31f043b6100ac15bcd
@FroodyFrog to be fair that is vote stacking.... now remove your star from this one, then scroll down and add it to the @Lotsofgoats one... you know you want to.
@thismyusername
I want to do a lot of things, I just usually don't do those things because they could lead to world anarchy down the road.
Now, granted, I'm a blue poison dart frog, but still.
I hereby nominate the CA based staffer whose existence makes the CA buyers pay sales tax. May their reign be long and full of blame for something people will certainly bitch about for the next 5 years.
@Thumperchick poor CA staffer, we don't even have an @ and already the villain role must be assumed :(
@Lotsofgoats
Naturally
@Thumperchick It might be @mehsterious- she recently popped up in the Martian Notifier Watch thread.
@dashcloud @Thumperchick
Cause how dare someone mysteriously show up. Right? It's an outrage!
@dashcloud I think you are right - but didn't want to name her without being sure.
@Thumperchick Too bad california can't be the January goat; its their overreaching tax law at fault after all.
If we're going to thank someone, @mikibell is pretty good at stealth gifting mehtizens.
Off hand, I remember @studerc, @Thumperchick, @carl669, others I'm sure.
@KDemo if we're thanking - I'd vote @mikibell.
@KDemo i'm down with @mikibell. especially for the 6 gazillion dum-dums she gifted the boy.
@kdemo
@carl669
Even more reason to vote for you, @mikibell - the force of the gif is with you. (or is it the The GIF of the Magi?)
@JonT Every month until all of you make this happen!
I know I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to remind y'all that @medz tried to kill me. So, both to honor and rebuke, I hereby nominate @medz.
@joelmw Yes that is definitely up there although not quite in the same category as fingering the dog.
@joelmw - Oh yeah, @medz is definitely goat worthy. No problem, there are plenty of months in 2016, the anticipation just makes it more fun, right?
@stardate820926 I think that it's time to pay the piper...
@sohmageek :)
@stardate820926 I'm sorry but in your own nomination.
@sohmageek
Every time i watch this episode, and it gets to this scene, i laugh.
I nominate
@Lotsofgoats
(star this post to vote for @Lotsofgoats and make sure you un-star the one above with my nick in it, thanks for your time.)
@thismyusername done. i unstarred this post and starred the one @Lotsofgoats mentioned you in.
@thismyusername
@carl669 you are also doing it wrong.
@thismyusername
Being wrong is the latest fad.
@thismyusername I think maybe he is doing it exactly how he wants it to come out LOL
this is not a new phenomenon
https://meh.com/forum/topics/september-goatdom--sohmageek#55ddbd39d488f86803e868a7
https://meh.com/forum/topics/september-goatdom--sohmageek#55ddd3dad488f86803e86b83
so, @thismyusername won for not having a grammatically correct sentence as his username, right?
@carl669
@carl669 there are still 45 mins left, I am holding out for a miracle.
@thismyusername @carl669
I hope nothing changes, otherwise this could be used against me in the future:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/january-goat-thread
@thismyusername
@thismyusername
Now will you concede that you're our new goat, or do you have to have every time zone reach midnight?
@FroodyFrog until the icon appears, I am still a normal ol meh person.. right?
A few days ago, I was thinking @FroodyFrog was deserving of being magically turned into a goat, but a valid argument was made, so I rescind that nomination.
@AttyVette has, however, been perpetually posting puns on product pages. Well, okay, maybe not perpetually, but plenty. And I think she'll be in good comPUNy as goat. It's not like it's PUNinshment these days or anything.
@narfcake
Which thread was it again? I need to look something up, but i can't remember which one it was.
@FroodyFrog Dear Meh staff. My rescinding vote is based from this thread.
@narfcake
Thanks
@narfcake I was going to nominate @AtteVette again, so this one is starred. The puns are getting worse every day. Which of course makes me question whether I want to give her even more opportunity to post...
IF my say has any weight... No threats of Tping people this time... I think that @JonT has had enough time to repent... but hasn't... IT's past the 3 month probationary period... so I say we get him! That... or I think that or... I'll make a 2nd post...
@sohmageek - @JonT has moved on to his new family, and he's not even sending support. :-(
@KDemo yes he did :( I was hoping to lure him back as a user. But meh. He's moved on and forgotten about us. @jont you are missed. I have no mehmber magic buddy now :(
@sohmageek - Valiant effort. Visitation would have been nice.
@sohmageek It's like @JonT was only our friend when he was being paid to be our friend.
Congrats on your sentence for your sentence, @thismyusername! Sympathy and celebration are in order.
Here's a chalkboard to practice writing your username correctly:
@KDemo I just want to point out that I blame @TaRDy for @shawn not letting me have more characters in the forum software.
@thismyusername - lol But whose fault that you needed more characters? There are probably other choices? At any rate, your name is goat for January. You know that means we love you. Cheers!
I say the goat should be retired for 2016 and beyond. All good things must come to an end.
@MrMark
I believe our January goat is balking, ignoring, and in denial. Hah.
@OldCatLady until the icon appears I am afraid you will have to keep blaming @TaRDy :)
@thismyusername it'll be there soon enough...
@thismyusername BURN!
@TaRDy I blame you.
@thismyusername Well in that case, sorry, @TaRDy. I mistakenly unblamed @thismyusername in another thread when it should've been for you.
Come back, @narfcake - you can blame/unblame all on @goatmyusername now!
@KDemo say what now?
@goatmyusername - Hahaha. Although now the reason for your goatness has been resolved. Nice redemption!
@KDemo @goatmyusername hey I didn't know we could edit our user names...
@Kidsandliz
That? It's been on account page for a while.
@Kidsandliz - You can either change your username, or create an additional account.
https://meh.com/forum/topics/pretty-new-account-page#56888b03a9d8af7805d03a94
(Not sure if that is @thismyusername or someone else playing, but I'm going with the goat theory FTW).
@KDemo can you even imagine having to click meh twice, every day, on two separate accounts?
@KDemo
Changing username isn't new, as for additional account, it's not exactly a feature since you could always sign a family member up.
@goatmyusername
On the 15th I'll have been a meh-mber for 500 days, if i click neh everyday until then, I'll only have clicked it 55% of possible days (which doesn't make me feel as bad)
@FroodyFrog
*or wait for the tee shirt.
@Kidsandliz I am really a separate user id in the database I swear. ;) and the magic that let me speak human is fading... from now on only goat speak from me.
@thismyusername
I would have loved to get this T-shirt last July:
@FroodyFrog 1) I did not say these were new features and, 2) Your comment is an unhelpful arrogant dig.
I have done my best to avoid you but you're making it very difficult. This is the most civil way I can say this - I do not wish to participate in the froody show.
@KDemo Thank you.
I love you, @Barney.
@KDemo Aww, I love you, too.
@KDemo
I wasn't intentionally trying to dig at you. I apologize. My intent was to clear up confusion which I myself was having.
@KDemo I like you too..despite you nominating me for goatdom! 😇
@mikibell - Thank you. I just figured you deserved to be counted in the Mehxalted Order of Goatdom for your selfless giving spirit. Don't worry, there's always another month :-)
@mikibell - Oh, and I forgot to say I like you too 💖.
Who came in second for December?
@Kidsandliz
You did say though that @pavlov still has to finish his term. Can't forget about that.
@FroodyFrog ... and @pavlov did indirectly start the whole thanking goat thing.
Side note: I ended up with 54 shirts, not 53, so thanks again, @TaRDy.
@FroodyFrog Yeah but @Pavlov said he'd be really busy Jan/Feb overseas with his job. So I think we need to get think about March with him. No point in electing someone who doesn't really have the time to serve.
@Kidsandliz
In that case, unless something drastic changes:
Jan- The CA based staffer referenced by @thumperchick
Feb- ???
March- @Pavlov
@FroodyFrog But we need to be flexible in case someone does something spectacular in the future to earn the privilege. LOL
@Kidsandliz
I know, so that's why I left Feb open, and hinted that this is subject to change.
@FroodyFrog You didn't list @mikibell for January? I think she would make a most excellent goat. Anyway, she had me with the purple cake. :)
@Barney (@Kidsandliz @KDemo @Thumperchick)
I guess now it needs to be decided if you want a goat to thank, or to blame.
And if one is wanted to thank, would that mean thank in a nice way, or thank in a sarcastic way.
Because as it stands, based on this thread so far, here's what i see:
Goat to thank nicely: @mikibell
Goat to thank sarcastically: new CA employee
Goat to blame: new CA employee
Not sure if it's obvious, but I'm not exactly "on the fence" for my opinion for January goat.
@FroodyFrog The nomination process is still in the early stages, but may I say, GO @MIKIBELL!!
@Barney
It's not just for the coming month which i was asking for, it's in general, since i see different opinions for what the criteria behind the goat are for.
@FroodyFrog It really doesn't matter why or how we choose the goat. The reasons vary. Anyway, the goat is the goat. As for goat planning that far in advance? That's like herding cats. Things around here can change in an instant.
@Barney
I know, i was a little distracted earlier by various circumstances when i was trying what i typed.
(Although i gotta say, you make it sound like it's hard to herd cats)
@FroodyFrog
@Barney
Eh, never could really stand cats. Then again, they have been known to eat my cousins (regular frogs, not us poisonous kinds)
I will be travelling and pretty much out of pocket (with the exception of a weekend here and there) until mid-March . . .
@Pavlov I think we already excused you in another thread for Jan and Feb. Guess we need to add March - but watch out for April Mr. almost Goat. If you come up with an April excuse we will need a note from @MrsPavlov vouching for your sneakiness that you arranged for work to get in the way of your life just to avoid finishing your reign LOL
@Kidsandliz Well, technically, work got in the way of his life to end his previous reign early.
@jqubed Technically work landed on top of his life...
@Barney one of the best Super Bowl moments of all time
@nadroj My favorite, although I haven't a clue as to what they were selling.
