I nominate @CaptAmehican as she manages to do a lot of sneaky slides under the radar, and because she voted for me to be September’s goat. She has started threads, can be counted on to post pics of tall ships and otherwise be involved in the brouhaha around here. And what is a better way to celebrate losing 60+ pounds than by being goat?
@CaptAmehrican brought to the current goat’s attention that her user name was misspelled (fortunately I have been already been the goat) here on this thread… she then wondered if she won if this meant she could get out of it since her name was misspelled.
ATTENTION ALL - by keeping your vote for @CaptAmehican you acknowledge that you are indeed actuality voting for @CaptAmehrican.
@Kidsandliz Not good enough, you blew it. @CaptAmehircan was not legally entered onto the ballot. Any fucking misspellings in December are going to be YOUR FAULT.
@CaptAmehicanI know I’m so sorry an innocent such as yourself got dragged into this by that big meanie @Kidsandliz. I can’t take the blame for it, of course, but know that I know your pain.
@therealjrn I am voting for you. The fact that you fucked up the username in your attempt to divert attention away from your nomination just seals the deal for me.
@narfcake He had a campaign button for me too and there were no shirts, caps, bumper stickers… nothing. Pitiful campaign manager in that respect. Maybe I could have won by a larger margin. (grin)
No problemo @ACraigL That whole “I got an NES so I’m going to post EVERYWHERE” stink don’t wash off that easily. Enjoy it! Don’t even worry about nothing.
@therealjrn@sammydog01
I already fessed up to being overzealous, but not sure that 2 posts on Woot (one that I got it, and the another proof I got it) and 2 on Meh (one of which had no mention of me getting one) qualifies as EVERYWHERE. Also, I’m not the one that keeps bringing it up.
But if that’s the qualification for future goatdom, so be it.
@ACraigL You already apologized more than necessary, and we totally understood your excitement. That doesn’t mean we’re not going to be dicks about it. Forever.
There’s a certain t-shirt artist that engaged in somewhat “excessive celebration” after winning a prize on a different website. But since I’m of the opinion the GOAT is a meh thing, I can’t in right conscious nominate this person despite furious politicking by a certain cat-shirt aficionado.
So there’s sufficient engagement here for a reason to goat. Besides, isn’t the middle finger one of the official gestures here? I know saying fuck all the time is.
I nominate @caffeineguy for generic GoaT tags and stealing blame from @dsjack!
/blame Why can’t we have a generic @goat|scapegoat tag, or perhaps a /blame prefix? I blame @mtb002 that Meh’s software people don’t have their damn priorities right?
@narfcake@therealjrn needs more votes! I’ll get on that right away.
Campaign Cat shirt submission came back from the Octopus with this!
(ok, I fucking love this stamp)
@mfladd And what is so impressive is that @CaptAmehican hasn’t even been self promoting like @therealjrn has been on this thread and others and the vote is nearly a tie.
/image goat worthy behavior
@Kidsandliz If I were @CaptAmehican I would defiantly play the misspelling card to get out of it. That, or finding out who @nostuffedballot and a few others are. CA is smart enough to know to delay this dreaded Goat yoke as long as possible. (wink, wink).
Poor @therealjrn must have some sins to confess. Because self-flagellating oneself with a GoaT rod is surely a sign of penance.
@mfladd don’t blame me, blame /image as it now only brings up one and editing doesn’t get you a different one anymore. Besides I don’t even know who Tom Brady is other than apparently, according to google, some football player.
@Kidsandliz /giphy does random, /image doesn’t. Add a number if you want a different image.

My newly obligatory responsibility is to again nominate @Unixrab for cheesy goodness, love of VMP, and the fact you cannot Banish him for Santa GoaT.
@mfladd When @unixrab gets VMP, we’ll goat him. Until then, no.
@narfcake
Why not instead simply GOAT him every month until he tearfully begs for VMP?
@f00l Yeah, not gonna happen.
@narfcake
Nothing wrong with trying, tho?
@f00l
@narfcake
Or try again, with glee.
/giphy "gleeful cat"
@f00l Tsk Tsk. Never mix reds and whites in the same wash.
@narfcake Happiness is being able to nominate whoever I wish.
@narfcake
Listen to @narfcake
@f00l
@unixrab But I shall thoroughly enjoy dragging you back here every month
It’s the little things that bring me joy.
@mfladd
@unixrab
Ok.
Sure.
You bet.
I nominate @mtb002, they know what they did.
@thismyusername But we’d like to know too… only fair.
@Kidsandliz here you go.
@thismyusername thank you

@Kidsandliz
That goes reminds me of a camel.
@mflassy Nice spelling job!
@therealjrn
I actually meant to write: That there goat goes and reminds me of a camel.
@mflassy Next month some crazy Gote is going to get all crazy gotey on misspellins.
@therealjrn
is taht a promiese or a thretat ?
@therealjrn @mflassy
I think that finely honed level of sarcasm calls for a vote change.
This race is close.
@mflassy Yes
@2many2no I didn’t even notice how close, lol. oops.
@therealjrn Yeah, you and @CaptAmehrican have been running a close race these couple days.
The winner is whoever loses.
@narfcake
Sense by no sense.
@narfcake I thought the comments about a close race were people fucking with me. …Fuck me.
@therealjrn Well if you lose there is always next month… actually the same could be said for @CaptAmehican (grin)
@CaptAmehrican brought to the current goat’s attention that her user name was misspelled (fortunately I have been already been the goat) here on this thread… she then wondered if she won if this meant she could get out of it since her name was misspelled.

for an explanation
You are welcome @CaptAmehrican
@Kidsandliz She also says January is better. And I don’t know about that disclaimer …
@narfcake give it to anyone else too muh atress right now in my life.
@Kidsandliz Not good enough, you blew it. @CaptAmehircan was not legally entered onto the ballot. Any fucking misspellings in December are going to be YOUR FAULT.
Bring it you fuckers.
@therealjrn nope. it will be the goat’s fault… so get ready for it
/image it’s coming
@Kidsandliz NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. YOU’RE LUCKY YOU ARE GETTING OFF THIS LIGHTLY.
@CaptAmehrican OK so even though I nominated you I just unvoted for you
/image but just you wait
PS hope things start to go better in your life
@Kidsandliz No you didn’t. You muffed it. You screwed the pooch. You fouled it all up.
All you did was nominate somebody nobody heard of called called CaptAmehican. Who probably hangs out with CraigL.
@therealjrn @Kidsandliz
@Kidsandliz what did I ever do?
@CaptAmehican I would like to know that too!
@CaptAmehican well now if you win, you win.
/giphy they do exist
@therealjrn but at least you did something! All I ever did was get my inbox spammed by you people!
@djslack I don’t wanna!
@CaptAmehican I know I’m so sorry an innocent such as yourself got dragged into this by that big meanie @Kidsandliz. I can’t take the blame for it, of course, but know that I know your pain.
@CaptAmehican Hold on just a darn minute! What do you mean “at least you did something!” Huh?
@therealjrn you nominated @CraigL. Poor guy is probably getting spammed to high heaven thanks to you. Don’t play innocent!
@CaptAmehican, whomever you are, since you are spoofing @CaptAmehrican you deserve to win just for that. In the month after @therealjrn of course.
@therealjrn PS you talking to yourself in that little exchange? Heck now you have set yourself up to win either way.
@Kidsandliz Nope, I’m not a cheater. Thanks in advance for taking on all the misspelling blame coming up.
@jbartus Lulz.
@ACraigL I’m glad someone appreciated my efforts.
I forgot to scale down the tag on the bottom before posting though.
@Kidsandliz I am not sure what to make of the sentence fragment you posted. Who’s spoofing what?
@jbartus Meh. If I strove for perfection I’d never be able to launch a shirt.
@CaptAmehican you spoofing the REAL CaptAmehrican
@ACraigL sadly I’m a perfectionist so I’d probably waffle over submitting a shirt til after the derby was over.
I nominate @therealjrn. He’s entertaining.
@sammydog01
But now he will know we think so. Damn.
@sammydog01 You got that right!
@therealjrn I am voting for you. The fact that you fucked up the username in your attempt to divert attention away from your nomination just seals the deal for me.
@sammydog01
@mfladd Look at you, all fancy with the campaign buttons and all …
(When are the campaign shirts coming out?)
@narfcake I was going to do a campaign cat shirt, but the Octopus said no.
@mfladd Boo! Hiss! Blame!
@sammydog01 Thanks. I’m beginning to rethink that whole “sammydog can’t be a dick” thing…grrr.
@therealjrn Hahahahaha… don’t trust a soul on this site.
@therealjrn
https://www.teeturtle.com/products/purr-evil
Don’t misspell @ACraigL’s name next time he gives us a finger.
On a side note, I still refuse to buy his gift shitting tree.
@therealjrn
Your timing is impeccable.

@narfcake
I just asked Ben to keep that one in mind if he does Christmas side sale.
@therealjrn I told you…

@sammydog01 why, that’s one half of a flying fuck!

@mfladd Oh,

/8ball Is @therealjrn fucked?
Yes definitely
@f00l FUCK!!!
@f00l It’s a close one.
/8ball Will @therealjrn NOT forget ‘a’ next time?
Yes
Signs point to yes
/8ball Should @ACraigL say thanks?
@narfcake FUCKING A! That fucker owes me! Fucker.
@therealjrn
/FUCKCOUNT!
@therealjrn The timing would’ve been perfect, but noooooo …
@narfcake fucker, so neow you’re all Angel eyed and shit?
@therealjrn What? You’ve already been unblamed!
@narfcake Uh huh. fucker
@therealjrn me thinks you are creating usernames to get out of being GoTed.
@narfcake He had a campaign button for me too and there were no shirts, caps, bumper stickers… nothing. Pitiful campaign manager in that respect. Maybe I could have won by a larger margin. (grin)
@mfladd Lol–that is a fucking great idea–but noe, I’m playing this GoTe election straight. I sincerely, really had no idea it was close.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@narfcake @therealjrn Thanks?
/giphy eating popcorn
No problemo @ACraigL That whole “I got an NES so I’m going to post EVERYWHERE” stink don’t wash off that easily. Enjoy it! Don’t even worry about nothing.
@therealjrn Oh yeah, @AcraigL How’s that NES doing? I haven’t heard lately.
@therealjrn @sammydog01
I already fessed up to being overzealous, but not sure that 2 posts on Woot (one that I got it, and the another proof I got it) and 2 on Meh (one of which had no mention of me getting one) qualifies as EVERYWHERE. Also, I’m not the one that keeps bringing it up.
But if that’s the qualification for future goatdom, so be it.
@ACraigL I believe the better reason is Thanksgiving Bird. It’s like the perfect seasonal shirt here.
FWIW, I picked up a spare copy yesterday.
@ACraigL Hey, it was all @nArfcAke’s idea. I’m beginning to think he is a trouble-maker.
@therealjrn “think”? …
@therealjrn
/8ball Still fucked?
Most likely
@ACraigL You already apologized more than necessary, and we totally understood your excitement. That doesn’t mean we’re not going to be dicks about it. Forever.
@sammydog01 I’m down with that.
@ACraigL
That design is perfect.
There’s a certain t-shirt artist that engaged in somewhat “excessive celebration” after winning a prize on a different website. But since I’m of the opinion the GOAT is a meh thing, I can’t in right conscious nominate this person despite furious politicking by a certain cat-shirt aficionado.
@therealjrn Well he did solicit for votes here …
https://meh.com/forum/topics/the-shirt-woot-derby-thread#59fb5196bf76b30fd8e11ce0
So there’s sufficient engagement here for a reason to goat. Besides, isn’t the middle finger one of the official gestures here? I know saying fuck all the time is.
You can make it official …
@therealjrn Oh! I thought this was a done deal that you were going to be THE GOAT! I was thinking what a great mentor you could be to future goats.
@Calabama The nomination for @therealjrn is above.
@narfcake Hush you.
@therealjrn
@narfcake He designed this. Enough said.
@sammydog01 And he would’ve received a good amount of blames too if it weren’t for a certain … something.
Hi, @therealjrn! Here’s a preemptive unblame for today’s catshirtswoot/owlshirtswoot.
Fine, I hereby nominate one @craigl for GOTM, December Edition.
@therealjrn Psst. @ACraigL. I blame the goat that you misspelled his username.
@narfcake Damnit! lol
@narfcake
/giphy bad at spelling
@therealjrn @narfcake I think muffing a nomination has got to be a goatworthy offense
@jbartus Yup. Evidence is growing, despite me nominating someone else.
@jbartus
It is certain
/8ball Is it?
Looks like we will have reserve list of good future nominees here for the future as well…
…is it me or does Alice look related to Ellen DeGeneres?
@unixrab
You are certainly looking more possibly Goaty as time passes.
Are we to the point that we need to award someone “I’m the Goat” t-shirt?
@rtjhnstn Well it used to be that meh sent something to goats. Not sure what happened to that.
@Kidsandliz They ran out of candy corn.
@Kidsandliz A goat trophy! A goat on a pedestal and below a tag that has “meh scapegoat” the user name and month/date. Mine says “lisaviolet 12/14”
Damn. Three years have gone by…
@thismyusername I want that baby goat!
I nominate @caffeineguy for generic GoaT tags and stealing blame from @dsjack!
@therealjrn you didn’t even notice I misspelled @djslack? C’mon!
@mfladd What the fuck are you doing?! Are you trying to get nominated for a second term here?! I mean, look at what’s happening to @therealjrn here!
Speaking of which … any luck on a non-cat campaign shirt?
@narfcake
@therealjrn needs more votes! I’ll get on that right away.
Campaign Cat shirt submission came back from the Octopus with this!
(ok, I fucking love this stamp)
/8ball Do I need to worry about this /blame goat thing? I’ve seen how folks abuse your wisdom…
Most likely
@mfladd
/giphy misspelled
I am not nominating this person.
I’m mentioning this person, for future reference. This person needs to become Goat, sometime not too far in the future.
This person has possibly already been Goated under another UID. But no worries.
Some people just realty need Goating at some point in their lives. Even if it’s the second time around.
@eonfifty
Reasons? Posts liked this one:

@f00l They are using a different username and were already a GoaT? Foolish!

@mfladd But only one of those two nominations is spelled correctly.
@narfcake Hahahaha…I had it right the first time. See what @therealjrn is causing!
@mfladd And what is so impressive is that @CaptAmehican hasn’t even been self promoting like @therealjrn has been on this thread and others and the vote is nearly a tie.
