It seems early enough in the game to establish a list of scapegoats that we can update monthly. For harassment purposes, of course.
(More concise list can be found here.)
Original Goat - David Gray (@davegrey)
Who has the dubious honor of pushing the kickstarter over the funded mark.
July 2014 Scapegoat - @Ryaneil
The first scapegoat voted for by the people!
August 2014 Scapegoat - @marklog
TL:DR @marklog fingered his dog, and our hearts.
September 2014 Scapegoat - @studerc
Who earned the honor by setting up the first Mehrican Fuku Exchange.
October 2014 Scapegoat - @Thumperchick
Who really needed to be knocked down a peg.
November 2014 Scapegoat - @TaRDy
Who ruined this perfectly good list. We all know it was @Thumperchick's fault he did it.
(@JonT you may want to delete this and lock the topic?)
@TaRDy ಠ_ಠ
@TaRDy If @JonT locks down the topic maybe it could change from being a "post" and turn into a "page"?
@TaRDy Some might say this is kind of pathetic. You know of course that I'd not be the one to say it, but certainly others might.
A long time ago in a meh.com far, far away...
@parodymandotcom Oh mahgoodness. Thank you.
House Scapegoat, a minor house and bannerman of House Meh, identified as a disembodied head of a goat on a field of grey.
The sigil for House Meh is a plain field of grey.
@The_Baron
@JonT I stood up and bleeeeated when he died.
@The_Baron You had me at Bannerman for House Meh. Almost choked on my little lemon cake.
@Thumperchick Goddamn, you've been a good goat. You really have set the bar very high. Candidates take note!
@bluedyn Thanks. Really, I would have done something list like at some point anyway, can't help myself. I think other goats were being blamed for more stuff. Maybe more stuff went wrong in those months. Maybe the luster is wearing off of cursing a random goat...
Dammit @Thumperchick, it's your fault that the luster has worn off! It's also your fault that Meh has stepped up their game and we have less to complain about. (Is that better?)
@Thumperchick - I wonder how many emails you were getting - do you have an estimate?
@KDemo i tallied up my email references from September and it totaled 197.
@KDemo No, I don't keep my emails once I've read or replied to them. So uh... holds up fingers THIS MANY?
@studerc @Thumperchick - So, equivalent to a part-time job with really abusive coworkers? Yet still an honor. Go figure. At least you will be remembered fondly in all the history books.
@KDemo Pretty such, they say there are prize perks, but we all know that's a lie. Just like the cake, right @JonT
@studerc @JonT may just be waiting to see how long he can wait on a prize... I think he has them all lined up on his credenza in his office. But then there is the whole getting them shipped and seeing how many times they will complain.
Thinking of prizes did winners for the drinking videos come out yet? I know prizes haven't been thought of. But are there winners yet?
Good job @Thumperchick! It's a good idea to have a record of this somewhere. By the way I'm totally up for hearing ideas (particularly from past goats) about what else we can do with the scapegoat.
Oh and here's a demon goat just in time for Halloween.
@JonT whoa baaaaad!
@JonT now we know where they got the physics for Goat Simulator. Nightmare fuel.
@Thumperchick
@JonT
This is entirely too nice and helpful. You're doing this all wrong, @Thumperchick. You're supposed to be breaking stuff.
@jqubed All the good stuff to break happened before my reign. They stopped letting the goats in the server room.
@Thumperchick Then run around the warehouse breaking stuff!
The title of this thread sounds like a calendar. Got a ways to go, though, if we have to wait for 12 goats.
@KDemo I was kind of going for an ongoing calendar... it didn't work out. It's all my fault.
@Thumperchick, @JonT - I'd definitely buy a scapegoats calendar. Each scapegoat would need a dedicated goat image. Thumperchick, you'd be Ms October. Meh eh eh eh .
@KDemo Goats are pretty stylish:
@JonT - With a unique taste in hats. In fact, a unique taste for everything.
@KDemo
@KDemo I can see it now, Scapegoats of Meh, the first annual calendar for Meh.com. Don't laugh it will be a product for sale one day here.
meh'eh'eh'eh'eh'eh'eh means "NO!" mister....
November 2014 Scapegoat - @cengland0
For win/losing the Fuku lottery and getting a Goat Starter Kit from meh.
--Ignore any entries by @TaRDy, who doesn't realize that being a jackass doesn't make you a goat. ;) --
December 2014 Scapegoat - @lisaviolet
Who proved to all of us that she is the best lisa... at least when compared to the other one. ;)
@Thumperchick Man, with her dissing Meh CS, she really got my goat.
@lisaviolet and you got @cengland0's goat (after a suitably meh delay).
@JonT I love being late.
@TaRDy I always say "If you find something in life that you love doing and you do it well, then good for you. You've found your joy, don't ever lose it."
@lisaviolet You are indeed, a very profound goat.
@lisaviolet @Teripie A veritable fortune cookie of goathood.
@Mavyn I've eaten quite a few fortune cookies in my life. I'm happy that I'm able to share the wisdom with those who will appreciate it. Thank you, China Panda.
@lisaviolet But what are my lucky numbers? How do I say 'cold muffin salad' in Chinese?
Damn you @lisaviolet ! Now I'm craving chinese food for lunch.
@Mavyn Your lucky numbers are 10, 16, 19, 53. 冷松饼沙拉 You're welcome.
@bluedog
@lisaviolet I'll be sure to blame you when I don't win.
@Mavyn Okay.
@lisaviolet The hardest working goat so far!
@lisaviolet, @Mavyn - One of my very favorite things to gift friends: http://www.fortunealbum.com/pictures/index.html
@KDemo That is awesome. :D
@Mavyn - I know! I hope they still sell them. I stocked up a couple of years ago, but it's time for more.
@KDemo It looks like they no longer make them. I'm sure it's @lisaviolet's fault.
@Mavyn - I just emailed the guy to see if he has any left, will report if he answers.
@Mavyn - He answered quickly. He wants $100 each for his last few. Never mind. (Darn you @LisaViolet!)
@KDemo Damn, that's way too much. Know any scrapbookers or papercrafters?
@lisaviolet @KDemo I'm thinking it would be easy enough to make--standard unlined paper journal, and 'picture holder' corners. Could even decorate the pages...Oy, the crafties.
@Mavyn This is kind of cool and you don't need extra tools. http://www.making-mini-scrapbooks.com/JunkJournals.html
@lisaviolet - That's great! I think they listed every possible thing except fortunes. Fruit stickers??
@Mavyn - Yes you can! (Let me know what you come up with).
@KDemo http://www.hlntv.com/article/2014/01/15/fruit-label-sticker-facts ???
@lisaviolet @KDemo. To the Dollar Store!
Or not. Too much already planned for this weekend, but eventually...
@lisaviolet - Gawd, the internets are crazy. So I learned that the next thing will be produce laser-etched using iron oxides and hydroxides. It'll make us long for the days of fruit stickers. If you want to collect them, you'd better start soon!
@KDemo Wow. That's crazy! Etched? smh.
Still.
This is only moderately related:
Last week someone in Chicago Craigslist posted an ADORABLE baby pygmy goat for free and I was THISCLOSE to talking husband into getting him. Qualities per the ad were: small, cuddly when he isn't being a little goat asshole, cute.
@MsELizardBeth You should have gone right over there and cuddled that little asshole!
@MsELizardBeth I'm sorry I missed that! I'm in Andersonville and a neighbor has always mused about having a goat. This would've been a good time to call her bluff. (Hopefully.)
@Thumperchick Reading that gave me the worst mental image. Who would want to cuddle a goat's butt?
@Morgue A horny goat.
January 2015 Scapegoat - @joelmw
Who talks the talk, a lot.
@Thumperchick So according to a certain interpretation this is totally accurate. But the the introduces the possible implication that, according to the old saying, "I don't walk the walk." And you know I'm anxious about this. Please clarify. I'm (at least potentially) okay not walking a walk as long as I know which walk it is, and perhaps why it's the walk. I just want to know how and why I'm disappointing. Well, I'm not meaning to open that can of worms, but with direct relevance to your comment.
@joelmw In this case, the walk is the talk and you have it down.
@Thumperchick Awww, thanks. :-)
February 2015 Scapegoat - @Barney
With an immutable love of purple, @Barney is rocking the Goat of Love in purple style!
@Thumperchick Awww. (purple blush)
March 2015 Scapegoat - @BillLehecka
Who won his nomination with a bath of neoprene and a kiss.
(He also wrote a goat journal entry for every day of his reign.)
The Goat Journals For March https://meh.com/forum/topics?q=Goat+Day
April 2015 Scapegoat - @carl669
Because fuck you, that's why.
@Thumperchick damn skippy!
@Thumperchick this is my favorite so far.
May 2015 Scapegoat - @narfcake
The shirt pusher.
@Thumperchick Ahem. Shirtgoat.
@narfcake
@Thumperchick I'm going to work on updating my topic today as well :)
June 2015 Scapegoat - @Pavlov
For telling us that Abe Vigoda is still alive.
@Thumperchick Oh shit . . . thanks for reminding me - update needed! (Although I think Abe was only part of the reason . . . and technically, I was second - I just put Abe in his own thread, @BillLehecka peppered Abe's status throughout his journal entries)
@Pavlov loved being goat so much, it almost killed him. Don't fret though! He made it through and came back to us, awaiting his second shot at goatdom.
@Thumperchick - Don't think he's onboard anymore. :-(
@KDemo Voting turn-out seems to be lighter every month . . .
@KDemo yes he is posting again - look below your post...
@Kidsandliz I think it was my comment that goat-dom had jumped the shark, not that I had stopped posting . . .
@Pavlov - Yes, I guess I misunderstood the reason for your comment. :-)
July 2015 Scapegoat - @Starblind
For being the winner of @Pavlov's Fuko contest - now proud owner of fukobukuro.com and utsubukuro.com.
(and other general awesomeness.)
@Starblind also spent the entire month getting us to play Irk's Breakfast Quest! and forever making every other goat look lazy by comparison.
August 2015 Scapegoat - @mfladd
Probably because he doth protest too much. He wants goathood, he just doesn't want us to know it.
@Thumperchick So what is the penalty of the goat blaming others instead of accepting the blame?
@sohmageek Make one up! Apply it liberally.
@Thumperchick @sohmageek Is @mfladd gonna get a bleating?
September 2015 Scapegoat - @sohmageek
Who organized the birthday TPing of Mediocre HQ.
(and a bunch of other stuff that @marklog laid out for us.)
@sohmageek put together a goat scavenger hunt for his run and in typical goat fashion, never told us who won.
@Thumperchick In @sohmageek's defense... He did lose the goat a day early, only to get it back later. But when he was adding up the points he wasn't goat... Maybe When he's goat again he will post the winners...
October 2015 Scapegoat - @jaremelz
Who channels @carl669's ability to tell hecklers where to go, felted a freaking Tiny Tub Mummy, and told us the story of a goat.
(The community also wanted to goat @JonT for abruptly abandoning us, but that was not to be.)
@Thumperchick @jaremelz i love being channeled!
@carl669 What can I say,
November 2015 Scapegoat - @christinewas
Who is our first legacy kid! (She's the daughter of the infamous @joelmw and holds her own enough to have earned the nomination for "witchcraft, verbosity, and being a legacy kid. And any other assorted crimes I can come up with later."
December 2015 Scapegoat - @TaRDy
Who finally got goated for making a Chrome extension to self-star your own posts. Also has the honor of being the person nominated the longest before becoming goat.
@Thumperchick Season's Bleatings!
@TaRDy - Holding out for an extension that makes @TaRDy auto-star all of my posts ;-)
January 2016 Scapegoat - @thismyusername
@Thumperchick - Feb @Lotsofgoats and March @stardate820926. I know you have a little matter taking your attention. Are you up for this, or taking a much-deserved break?
@KDemo I thought I'd added Feb... I'll get them in soon. Thanks for the reminder.
Awesome, @Thumperchick - This is a fun and valuable slice of mediocre history. Thanks for keeping it going.
@KDemo @Thumperchick
Some might even dare to refer to this thread as The Annals of Meh Scapegoats
@KDemo you are just making sure this is still going so your name ends up here next month, aren't you?
@thismyusername - Ugh. I'm still hoping a bird lands on someone else's podium and they get all the votes.
February 2016 Scapegoat - @Lotsofgoats
Who was nominated in a fit of vengeance for nominating @thismyusername for January.
That pack of unruly goats wearing one suit of clothing managed to live up to its name, however; by getting other people to serve as scapegoat for a day.
March 2016 Scapegoat - @stardate820926
For proving what a great goat they were during their temp tenure in February.
April 2016 Scapegoat - @KDemo
For being a longtime community mehmber.
@Thumperchick I'm surprised I'm not the pick for April. I'll have to figure out something to make people jump down my throat even harder in May!
May 2016 Scapegoat - @medz
For being our resident gif master general. (He also attempted to kill @joelmw with gluten…)
@medz used his goatdom to make an awesome offer that wasn’t utilized nearly enough.
June 2016 Scapegoat - @dashcloud
For not quite making the cut in May. (Really though, overdue!)
July 2016 Scapegoat - @brhfl
For, as @christinewas put it:
August 2016 Scapegoat - @sammydog01
For creating the first ever Irk tribute doll!
@sammydog01 used their reign to host a contest for another of her creations, too.
September 2016 Scapegoat - @OldCatLady
For many reasons, but really the eye-candy pics.
October 2016 Scapegoat - @ignorant
For being helpful to other mehmbers… or at least trying to.
November 2016 Scapegoat - @PlacidPenguin
For somehow making the 2016 presidential race happen.
(Amid much controversy.)
December 2016 Scapegoat - @f00l
For complaining about the thread being early, or for having one of the highest altruism scores here at meh.
@Thumperchick
You forgot that i drove almost everyone out of the blame thread (unintentionally) by posting (mostly 20th century) poetry in the thread. And the poetry was damned good stuff too.
And I posted most of my blame acceptances and apologies in haikus or limericks after a suggestion by @OldCatLady seconded by @Kidsandliz or perhaps I have it backwards concerning who suggested and who seconded.
And @jbartus wanted me to do a sonnet, but sonnets are hard to write during a red light or an elevator ride, so he never got the worst sonnet that might ever have been written. It’s still not written. Yet. Perhaps someday.
@f00l I’m still waiting for that sonnet!
@jbartus
When you finally get my glorious sonnet, after you read it you will be in such pain that you will beg for death as the only possibly respite.
You have been warned.
@f00l if I ever get your sonnet I might faint first from shock.
January 2017 Scapegoat - @jbartus
You know why.
@Thumperchick I still don’t like the fact that I got nominated by a sock puppet.
@jbartus
@jbartus
;(Initiate force control of weak Pat’s fan brain)
I am not the sock puppet you are seeking.
I may go about my business.
;(Terminate force control of weak Pat’s fan brain.)
@f00l I’m not sure I buy your claim of being shruggie.
@jbartus
Oh. That post was meant to say that I’m not @shruggie. Because actually I’m not @shruggie.
I guess I got a little too cute for my own good in that post.
I have no idea who @shruggie is.
@f00l I’m not @shruggie either.
@baqui63 @baqui63 @jbartus
I’m not @shruggie either.
Oh wait…
@shruggie
“Is” is logically equivalent to “is not”?
Cool! How modern!
@f00l
/image Rocko’s Modern Life
@shruggie @f00l Please a new thread for your conversation so the record thread doesn’t get too cluttered up with other stuff. This thread has mostly been just a list of who was goat and a link to why. Could we please keep it that way? Then it will be faster and easier to find who was goat…
@Kidsandliz
Yes, Mom. But I didn’t start it!
Blame @jbartus!
He commented! I saw!
@f00l I made a comment which is not unheard of, you and @shruggie-the-sockpuppet took it to a whole other level!
@jbartus
Tattletail!
@f00l Nuh uh!
February 2017 Scapegoat - @ELUNO
For …mainly because @CaptAmehrican promised/threatened him with goating.
(Now quit trying to get out of it retroactively.)
@Thumperchick I blame @riotdemon that you are delinquent and aren’t keeping this tread current. You can blame @mfladd for bringing up this thread as he is threatening to railroad another hapless soul into goathood (see the exchange with @PoolToyWolf on https://meh.com/forum/topics/10-7-17-halloween-inflatable-decorations).
By the way @mfladd I do think perhaps @CaptAmehrican needs brought back into the forefront as she is sailing under the radar. Read the message above this one and in some nomination threads she has gotten a fair number of votes… not to mention is guilty of instigation (grin).
@Kidsandliz Let her think she is under the radar. It’s more fun that way.
@Kidsandliz Railroad, you say? Figures I’m a railfan/train geek, too. :B
@PooltoyWolf @mfladd seems to have anointed his alleged royal butt as chief cook, bottle washer and goat nominator, goat railroader, goat agitator, and goat campaigner… starting the goat nomination threads with a nominee and it then goes (from the future goat’s point of view) downhill from there. Hmm… no one died and made him king goat herder LOL. We probably should continue this conversation back in the other thread though so we don’t clutter up this goat history thread.
@Kidsandliz I think I’m going to have to change the way this is logged, so it’s a bit easier to read.
When I inevitably don’t get that done in a month, blame whoever is goat then.
@Thumperchick I think it is simple enough how you are doing it. You mention the month, then who is the
victimgoat, then a link to why they were drafted. What messes it up is the chatter in the thread. Perhaps lock it so only you or other flask folks can update it?@Kidsandliz That’s why I’m going to change how it’s logged. A clean list to access would be simpler and I can lock/unlock as needed.
@Thumperchick
I’ve there started to beer dedicated blanket threads, I would like links to those threads included. So that Emeritus Goats are appreciated.
@f00l I didn’t quite parse that request.
/8ball I’ve there started to beer dedicated blanket threads, I would like links to those threads included. So that Emeritus Goats are appreciated.?
Yes
@Kidsandliz I boat I do not goat.
@CaptAmehrican
/image goat in boat
@Kidsandliz
and the chatter continues.
@mfladd Yeah but she said she was making a new one so that was the only reason why I posted again. @thumperchick - feel free to delete any posts I made on this thread to help clean it up.
@Thumperchick
I might have meant to say that:
If … you made a new admin-locked “Master Goat-List” topic:
Perhaps you could include links to the monthly blame topics (once those topics started up), as well as to the nomination and voting threads, for each month’s Goat.
That would be my heart’s desire and all.
I might have meant to say that. Or meant to say something else. Or nothing at all.
But GBoard ate my brain and my swiping finger.
Please dont judge me. I can’t help being incoherent. I can’t.
@Thumperchick I like how messy this is. If you make it all neat and organized, it would be less fun. To get the information, much of the joy is in the chase. Although, considering the importance of drunk posting, it shouldn’t be insurmountably hard.
Here’s what I have for a full list of scapegoats thus so far:

@narfcake That’s a whole lotta blame right there!
/image goat trophy
@narfcake Some of the early goats seem to have more or less vanished. There are a couple of names there I had nearly forgotten about.
I like what @thumperchick as done which is also have something that either links to or briefly explains why they were goat.
@narfcake wait…unixrab was never a GoaT?
Thanks @narfcake - That’ll be a great starting point for me. (I do want to keep the nomination/goat info with each scapegoat.)
@mfladd iirc, @unixrab enthusiastically pre-emptively renounced any and all consideration for being goated.
@Thumperchick All the more reason!!!
@mfladd It really is no fun if the person goated really dislikes the idea.
@Thumperchick Wait…
@narfcake I can’t believe I finally made it.
@Thumperchick
@mfladd
<Pout>
@unixrab possesses astonishing Contrarian Talent and would make such a great Goat.
<Pout>
Then again …
Since 2017 already terminally sucks beyond all hope, why not Re-Goat @mfladd?
It’s not like his life would get any worse.
Yikes! Be careful, @narfcake, I think you went over the limit on your tagging privileges.
@Thumperchick speaks the truth. There shall be no badges before my name, save one, heretofore mentioned
@f00l @mfladd @narfcake @thumperchick
ahem… “Contrarian Talent?” Nay. Much of what I’ve learned has been from long ago when @snapster was just graduating from “back-o-the-truck” sales…and decided to try this intarwebs doohickey. If you couldn’t handle the flames on Usenet, you’d be summarily dismissed with prejudice.
@narfcake Helluva good job, kinda wish we heard from some of these folks more often.
@unixrab Good to see you here, you should come out and
argueplay more often.@Thumperchick Since former goats and meh employees seem to be informally eliminated from the inexplicable pleasure of being (as if there were any rules) what is the possibility of former employees? There are several that would seem eminently qualified.
@2many2no
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Thumperchick I haven’t parsed out the reason for the nominations, but here are the threads for this year’s goats:
January 2017 nominations
February 2017 nominations
March 2017 nominations
April 2017 nominations
May 2017 nominations
June 2017 nominations
July 2017 nominations
August 2017 nominations
September 2017 nominations
October 2017 nominations
@unixrab
@mfladd I didn’t get any cheese sauce, and frankly I don’t want any if it’s nacho cheese or Velveeta.
@unixrab See the above comment.
@unixrab
Within Usenet, you surely nurtured and developed your gifts well.
I world love to have you as Goat.
And see you do your absolute worst thereby.
You would be a great Goat.
@mfladd I want cookies. Guess I won’t be going to the dark side. Sigh.
@2many2no The mercy-killing of VMP was a big driver - since I sought to inform those poor souls as to the existence of vmp-bait danger. We shall see what diabolical scheme @snapster & Co. will foist upon this community to separate us from our money. To be continued…
@mfladd
@f00l it would be a bloodbath if it wasn’t beneath me… <shudders>
@narfcake high five Sir…
@unixrab
@unixrab C’mon, in @snapster’s defense, meh is here to take our money.
Unlike many other businesses, they do at least try to get us to enjoy giving it to them.
@Thumperchick You can cut and paste for the future thread, right?
January 2017 - @jbartus
I don’t believe I need to give reasons.
February 2017 - @ELUNO
… we could use a flirty goat.
March 2017 - @mikibell
Rigged elections.
April 2017 - @ruouttaurmind
He has been a worker bee and deserves to be exterminated in public for it.
May 2017 - @DrunkCat
… for consistency.
June 2017 - @cranky1950
… for the You Bastards incident, yet not following through
July 2017 - @Trillian
… for the super duper cool surprises you’ve done to meh’s HQ.
August 2017 - @2many2no
… posts entertaining posts, but has somehow stayed quietly …
September 2017 - @Kidsandliz
… has exhausted all excuses for not being goat.
October 2017 - @RiotDemon
Halloween requires a worthy sacrifice.
@narfcake good work helping to compile this list.
@narfcake Be nice if we also linked them to the actual goat thread since @Thumperchick also explains why they were chosen in the first post.
@narfcake thanks!
November 2017 - @djslack
And who better to guide us into the light than one of the most intelligent, helpful, humorous and well rounded individuals in the forums?
December 2017 - @therealjrn
He’s entertaining.
January 2018 - @CaptAmehrican
… she manages to do a lot of sneaky slides under the radar …
Bleat.
@f00l December goats are the best goats.
@therealjrn
Damn straight on that.
@therealjrn YUP!
GOAT, of course, means greatest of all time.
/image goat greatest of all time
see even image agrees LOL
So I’m just checking…as some of you might know I have been heavily medicated. Has our girl @Calabama ever been the Goat?
I’m thinking the cromulent @AcraigL needs a nice, long, busy t-shirt month to serve us best. Like later on in the summertime.
But you know, @Calabama is just sweeter than a bug’s ear and February might be the month of Goat love for her…
Can you do a stats check for me @Narfcake?
@therealjrn I think that’s correct. We need to fix that. @pooltoywolf should be in there too.
@sammydog01 An inflatable wolf as a goat. Imagine that.
@PooltoyWolf We all rise, and inflate to the occasion.
@therealjrn She’s been untainted thus so far.
@therealjrn Oh, a fine thing to wake up to! I see you are well enough to pull off some devilment! You know damn good and well I have not! You just introduced me to Meh a few months ago.
Be that as it may, I am so glad you are out of the horsepital.

@Calabama That horsepital aint nothing to play with Cal. I’m sorry your son is ailing.
@therealjrn No, it is not a five star hotel. I have only been in when I had my son, but it was very memorable. I do not think I was bothered as much as you were.
I was in three days. I was just so happy, nothing bothered me. Total best time in my life, my son.
Thanks, I think it is hard not to get the flu when someone in the house does not take the necessary precautions when sick. I stay totally by myself when I am contagious.
I am not going anywhere I do not have to, we are almost at the epidemic stage here. Guess we need to wear masks and gloves.
@Calabama I’m not exaggerating, I was admitted through the ER and many, many of the great unwashed were in there with facemasks. It’s enough to make a person sick!
@PooltoyWolf i can see an inflatable goat very easy.
Fyi i would like to clarify i am the boating not goating.
@therealjrn “You may be seated.”
-lets some air out-
@CaptAmehrican I have been loving your boat of day posts!
@therealjrn
So good you did not catch anything on top everything. They need to have separate admitting during flu season.
I see the unwashed and wonder, WHY?
I get dirty at home and change my clothes.
I am so glad you went. Now you have to have a plan of attack on this shit!
I’ve put everything together in an easy-to-read, locked thread, here.
Feel free to continue goat discussion here, as this thread will remain open for discussion.
@Thumperchick other pre goats got called out for their daily goating poems or whatever i want boat not goat credit.i blame @acraigl
@CaptAmehrican
ಠ_ಠ
Pick your favorite boat/goat thread and I’ll link it to your goat listing.
I can’t believe it’s been a year since my goathood already!
@ELUNO I cannot believe it’s been 3.5 years since this whole thing started.
@Thumperchick
I can’t believe that @moose decided that no more people will get the generous gift of a goat trophy (which Meh is not legally required to provide).
@Moose @PlacidPenguin @Thumperchick That makes me a sad goat.
@ACraigL @Moose @Thumperchick
Actually, I just reread the comment about old prizes.
It clearly uses the term “prizes”.
When used as a noun, prizes means the following:
The goat trophy is viewed not so much as because of an outstanding achievement, but people you put up with a month of blame.
As such, goat trophies are not prizes.
On the other hand, the first definition of achievement is:
In this sense, getting through a month of blame physically intact can be considered considered a successful thing, especially since it requires effort/courage/skill.
@PlacidPenguin
wait… what? when was this decided?
@Moose @thismyusername
Feb 2nd.
@PlacidPenguin I read that, I must be missing something…
I still expect my goat trophy.
@thismyusername
If only you had somebody to blame.
@thismyusername
I know what you’re missing; a goat trophy.
@thismyusername They’re four bucks at trophy depot- buy your own. I bought myself a prize for the fantasy football league. OK that’s kind of pathetic.
@thismyusername
If you find a penguin astronaut trophy, let me know.
@sammydog01 they will do the right thing and send mine… they are just really busy sifting through dumpsters right now.
@ELUNO It’s been exactly 1 year for me. Goathood and the loss of a family member within 2 weeks. You’re familiar with “bitter sweet”? Last April was bitter bitter for me I guess.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After not having a survey from Google Opinion Rewards for a year, i had a survey about searches relating to farmyard animals.
And yes, I checked there was more than one box checked.
@PlacidPenguin a year?? I get one every time I go to the grocery store.
@PlacidPenguin OMG goats of meh. LOL
@RiotDemon
Gotten 12 since 2016. (And yes, I’ve had the app since August 2014.)
@PlacidPenguin may I ask how much you earned? I earned almost $40 in this one year.
@RiotDemon
A little over $19 since 8/2014.
@PlacidPenguin dang.
@PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon 66 dollars since may 2016 here
@CaptAmehrican @RiotDemon
I’m pretty sure I may be blacklisted.
Either that, or they don’t want surveys answered by a penguin of my demographics.
@PlacidPenguin Do you never really go anywhere? I get questions about places that are next to where I’m actually going.
@RiotDemon
That would explain quite a lot.
@PlacidPenguin I’m lucky since I get a survey for every visit to the grocery store, and I go there 1-2 times a week. Those are anywhere from $0.19-$0.40 each.
@RiotDemon
They must not like where I go for food.
@CaptAmehrican @RiotDemon
Since this screenshot, I’ve had another 5 surveys. (One of which didn’t pay out.)
Same routine as before, so maybe I was given another chance.
Well, either THAT, or I’m getting more surveys since I changed one of the details in my profile.
@PlacidPenguin I think that being a google survey is deserving of its very own topic.
@PlacidPenguin I’ve earned roughly another $7 since the last time we posted.
@RiotDemon
$0.96.
I have a $50 Play Store gift card sitting in a desk drawer, but there aren’t any apps or games which I’m in a particular rush to get.
Especially since I could just wait until they go on sale (as in the case of Monument Valley 2).
@RiotDemon
Had an event last night somewhere. Just got a dollar for a survey.
Now I remember why I like Google Opinion Rewards.
Though smaller surveys are also appreciated.
@PlacidPenguin I stayed at a hotel. Got the dollar survey. Most of my grocery store surveys are 30 something cents. When I’m next to a business and say that I just passed by it’s usually 10 cents.
@RiotDemon
Maybe I should start going to the same store you go to.
And the event was also in a hotel.
@PlacidPenguin you’re in the North, right? It doesn’t exist there. Sorry!

@PlacidPenguin I made 49 cents answering a survey about the leash/harness video that someone posted on the product page.
Look at all those Scapegoat Emeritus badges…
…
…
Just look at them!
@curtise Yup a veritable herd of us. (grin)
@curtise Which is another reason I decided to have mine removed. I want poo. I just don’t want to give up my original VMP to get it.
@mfladd
Be careful what you wish for…
@curtise
I like this aesthetic.
Hey, @moose…about those trophies you aren’t sending out because engraving…
You’re welcome.
I admire my trophy almost every day. Other goats should be as lucky.
@lisaviolet you forgot to tell @moose to get the actual trophy!
@Kidsandliz @Moose i figured he had a case of them. My take was he didn’t want to do the engraving.
Which really makes the trophy more adorable.
@Kidsandliz @lisaviolet @Moose the dude designed a functioning lamp. I think he can handle a trophy.
@lisaviolet @medz @Moose Oh we know he can handle it… it is whether or not he WANTS to handle it
