Spooky Scary Scapegoat (October 2024 scapegoat blame thread)
6Spooky month is finally here, though you wouldn’t know it from all the Christmas stuff in stores already. Still, as is tradition, with each new month we have to pick a special new sucker someone to take the blame for all that’s wrong in the world. @pmarin served us well through September (and even snuck in an extra hour on the back end) but when it came time to make the October selection only one name landed on the ballot.
@lonocat, it’s all you. Best of luck with that!
Not spooky enough, AI…but I’m too lazy (and late) to try harder. Get to it, folks. I’m told there’s more than one way to blame a @lonocat.

Oh, that’s even cuter than the “cat in goat costume” I got from the bot!

@Kyeh look below, I told you that I would post one
Let the GOATOBER-FEST Of Blame begin!
With no play book to guide me, should I be an invisible goat who never acknowledges anything? Borrow some Adderall to keep up with the frenzy? No! I think that I’ll be my own Gentlemanly Opinionated Anti-everything, Tempermental self.
If your Blame is trivial, don’t be surprised if you get a Dr. Becker type response.
Here is a portrait for this month, to hang in the Hall of Goatdom:
Now for the busy start:
Today is National Taco Day! Yay!
Also National homemade cookie day!
National Black Dog Day, National Fire Dog Day, National Pumpkin Spice Day, and more!
See, I told you it would be a hectic month, I think I’ll need a few cold brews before it’s over, but I would do it anyways for October Fest!
@lonocat Is this the month for Catshirts Only month?
@narfcake I don’t know about Catshirts Only, but it may be National BlackCat Month!
@lonocat @narfcake oh not the lovable black cats! Seriously a friend was I think offering me this cat (and another one that goes with it I haven’t seen yet)
Still haven’t figured out correct way to get a single image from a video since apparently we can’t post the cute 21 second video here.
@lonocat Well, in addition to blame, for stealing my goat (guess you got my goat), I just wanted to see if I now have the inverted-goat icon.
But happy October, everyone! It’s the greatest-of-all months (GOAM?)
EDIT I do have the icon! Proudly Emeritus status now.
