Hi and welcome to the forum! The upside down goat and right-side up goat emblems were from a forum game called “Float da Goat” wherein the players had to build a custom boat/raft/etc that could support the weight of a goat and post video of the attempt. Players who participated, but were unable to “float da goat” got the upside down goat icon. Players who were successful in floating the goat for 30 seconds or more got the right-side up goat emblem.
Thanks for the question! I hope you enjoy your stay.
@SenorYEETZ I was awarded my ‘K’ emblem during a forum contest to name the next K-Cup flavor for Keurig coffee machines. My entry “Cara-meh-lo Crunch” gained enough forum votes to put me in the top 10.
@medz On a sad, but important note, I think this is a good time to have another moment of silence for all of those soggy goats, some of whom did not survive the game.
That’s why, in my house, we still say, “it’s all fun and games until someone drowns a goat”. Everyone understands what that means. Everyone…
@mfladd Why didn’t you finish the job then? Sure, you did the easy part, linking to a couple of threads…but what about ALL the other icons? Hmm? Guess that was too hard for you. ha! Easy to look smug when you’re throwing that nickel into the red bucket huh?
@mikibell@ruouttaurmind@therealjrn I don’t have a link for the others. That is/was Penguins job - and they are sadly MIA.
But the fact remains - I have the only nickel in the bucket! Look at you all - teasing the new kid like school yard bullies…for shame…
@SenorYEETZ
Sorry it took me a bit to see this thread and all the way to here for someone to tag the explaination for badges. (Other than mfladd linking just the goat one).
Just be glad you didn’t start when they were on a “bath” or “first” or other peculiar theme. They are harmless here and trying to be amusing. Some are even helpful.
I mostly stalk, so ignore me altogether.
@sammydog01 Ah, so you came in during that? What did you think about it at the time? Did you immediately realize that you had found your new home? Or did you think, “These people are nuts.”
@lisaviolet@mollama@narfcake@sammydog01@therealjrn just went through and read that whole thread. I handed out so many stars. Wasn’t there another thread that showed the bad Lisa was another person? I know @Barney called them out one time, unless my memory is hazy.
@RiotDemon@sammydog01 Nope, that person was not Twisted Lisa. As far as I know, TL hasn’t been back except for the comment one of her alternates made toward the end of her rage thread.
It’s an energy meter
Yes, someone can.
you’re new here? who knew???
@therealjrn is that sarcasm
@SenorYEETZ
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Emblems? What emblems? Sure you’re feeling ok? I think you might be seeing things!
@Raider What does the K mean in front of your name?
No idea.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT DEAD THING DOING IN FRONT OF MY NAME?!?!?
I DEMAND ANSWERS!!!
I DEMAND SATISFACTION!!!
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ALL OF THIS?!?!?!?
@shahnm More importantly, who the frak is to blame for it?

@medz I am the only successful goat floater!

@medz what does the K mean by your name?

@medz oh so they are all from different competitions and stuff
@medz @tnhillbillygal My goat was lopsided. Totally not fair.
@medz I missed that one. Got mine for the Krispy Kreme Donut contest.
@medz @rockblossom I want one now
@medz @rockblossom @SenorYEETZ
You can get the octopus badge if you record and upload a video of yourself making/eating breakfast octopus, as seen in this video.
Bonus points for flashing the sign:
@lichme @medz @SenorYEETZ I would, but I don’t know where to get that backward meh shirt.
@tnhillbillygal so jealous.

I just don’t ever want to see another poop contest again. Keep that shit at 4chan.
@djslack Better luck next time, squirt.
@djslack I agree though, that one was bad, mainly because people had an unfair advantage. All the winners had… fiber to the home.

Leave it to @mfladd to pull back the curtain.
/giphy pay no attention to that man behind the curtain

@mikibell @ruouttaurmind Yup, I am the kind person around here. The one who embraces new posters regardless of their rocky start

@mfladd @mikibell @ruouttaurmind That is true enough, the only nickel in the bucket…
@mfladd
This list is not up to date. It is missing @Reclaimercube, myself, and @tnhillbillygal
@jst1ofknd @reclaimercube You will have to speak to the keeper of the book. Tis not I.
@Thumperchick !
@jst1ofknd it’ll get updated again… Eventually
They give heart shield emblems to stupid people.
@cranky1950 You sound cranky.
@therealjrn You might be right.
@cranky1950 I thought they gave heart shield emblems to people who want, but for various reasons do not qualify for, a poo emblem.
@cranky1950 @shahnm The hearth shield is for the inferior “universal membership” $4.99 a month.
The “V” in front of my name is for voluptuous. Or maybe it was vile. I don’t remember.
@moonhat
/giphy voluptuous vile vixen
@moonhat @RiotDemon It’s for vajayjay.
@moonhat @RiotDemon @shahnm vagazzled vahjayjay
@medz @moonhat @RiotDemon @shahnm Such talk in front of the pre-teens.
/giphy shame
@medz @moonhat @RiotDemon @sammydog01 That’s a different badge entirely…
Emblems of shame.
@DrunkCat Inevitably, this will be an alt metal band name someday…
@shahnm Why Inevitably? Why not now? Hey @Shawn.

@mollama I showed up during the Twisted Lisa affair. And stayed.
https://meh.com/forum/topics/zero-customer-service
@mollama @sammydog01 Oh my. @TwistedLisa appeared to be quite miffed.
/giphy miffed
@mollama @sammydog01 @therealjrn Yeah, and @lisaviolet got goated as a result. She’s the good Lisa.
(Yes, there’s a history of being goated for being nice and helpful here. Occasionally one might even end up being hired.)
@sammydog01 Ah, so you came in during that? What did you think about it at the time? Did you immediately realize that you had found your new home? Or did you think, “These people are nuts.”
@Barney New home for life. And I’ve been clicking the Meh button ever since.
@sammydog01 I’m glad you stayed.
@Barney
/giphy aww!
@mollama @narfcake @sammydog01 @therealjrn I liked posting GIFs. Tantrum girl is still one of my favorites.
@lisaviolet @mollama @narfcake @sammydog01 @therealjrn just went through and read that whole thread. I handed out so many stars. Wasn’t there another thread that showed the bad Lisa was another person? I know @Barney called them out one time, unless my memory is hazy.
@lisaviolet @mollama @narfcake @sammydog01 @therealjrn @RiotDemon You are thinking of this, um, person and her many personalities who shows up and causes problems wherever she goes.
https://meh.com/forum/topics/meh-screwed-up-on-the-onkyo
Edit: There is also another thread where she accuses Meh of trying to kill her dog.
@Barney @lisaviolet @mollama @narfcake @RiotDemon @sammydog01 @therealjrn I love going back and re-reading these threads, should be an annual thing we do.
@Barney @lisaviolet @mollama @narfcake @sammydog01 @therealjrn that’s the thread I was thinking of. Is that person also bad Lisa?
@RiotDemon Nope. I think TwistedLisa rage quit long, long ago.
@RiotDemon @sammydog01 Nope, that person was not Twisted Lisa. As far as I know, TL hasn’t been back except for the comment one of her alternates made toward the end of her rage thread.
