Oh, Good Grief!

I really think think some soul searching is required by the constituency of this community (including @JonT). Have things gotten so bad here that I am really your best choice for goat? To quote @Barney, "@mfladd is going to be goat? Gee, things have really gone downhill around here. :)" I couldn't agree more.

I also am really excited to follow @Starblind with his/her brilliant "IRK'S BREAKFAST QUEST!" Let's look at it this way - with @Starblind you got Snoopy (Joe Cool).

With me, you are getting Charlie Brown (mediocrity at it's finest).

I do promise to run a contest of some kind. I am still working on it (crosses fingers and looks @hollboll). But the contest will not take place until later in the month due to my responsibilities to Team Breakfast Octopi for gishwhes. If I do not complete my assigned tasks I will certainly be ostracized from this community.

P.S. You are an amazing community, and I thank you for accepting Charlie Brown into it :)

Almost forgot. I do think every goat should have a badge to remembered by. And as much as I enjoyed @jaremelz's pick for me (go ahead and post). I have chosen this one:

- @mfladd Right? I'm quite proud of myself. Also, I'd like to be the first to lay some blame on the new goat. My search history has become even more fucked up recently, and that's all because of you!

  Well, since we need more Tiny Tub Mummies, we'll have to clone her, so . . .
  We need Twenty-two two-for-Tuesday test tube twin Tiny Tub Mummies.

As a member of the team, I thank you for making Team Breakfast Octopi a priority... and for delaying the contest until I am more likely to be paying attention. I'm so glad you're the goat.

- @christinewas Thanks, I promise my items will be in. Maybe just under the wire but they will be in. My wife was like, "why did you buy that big tub of butter?" I lied for now. I will tell her after the fact :)
