Spring is in the air (April 2021 goat nominations)
6The days are starting to get longer, the weather is getting warmer, the grass (or weeds) are getting taller, and it’s time for another goat, because as wonderful as a job @Felton10 and/or Walter has done, their month is up and it’s time for another mehmber to bask in the fame blame.
So nominate away!

@Kyeh Rats.
@DoctorOW
Well, you could campaign for njfan, below!
@Kyeh I too nominate @DoctorOW. S/he is a doctor of ow. That is pretty amazing and should be rewarded.
@felton10 consider nominating @DoctorOW.
Everyone nominate @DoctorOW.
@DoctorOW! @DoctorOW! @DoctorOW!
@DoctorOW @Felton10 @Kyeh @njfan
/giphy weasel
@Felton10 @Kyeh @njfan
Counter point: Nominate @njfan. Who better to be a scapegoat than a Michael Jackson fan who can’t even spell the initials correctly?
@DoctorOW @Felton10 @njfan @sammydog
I think seniority should be respected, and njfan has been here much longer than a lot of us, and is therefore more deserving of this “honor.” Or more obligated to pay his dues, you could also say. Let’s hear it for njfan!
@sammydog01 Oops, I got your name wrong, sorry.
@Kyeh the better person won, congrats @doctorOW.
That’s pollen in the air, outside my house.
The last couple of months there are people we threatened to nominate again and/or begged off. I am too lazy to search for the old nomination threads which is @Felton10’s fault
@Kidsandliz
I blame @Felton10 for being torn between posting something in solidarity or just giving your post a drive-by star and calling it a day.
I nominate @Lynnerizer
I nominate @Kyeh
@RiotDemon Good idea. @Kyeh keeps nominating others each month - perhaps to deflect attention from herself?
@Kidsandliz @RiotDemon
. I’m just a rank noob, remember?
Hush, you.
I nominate @njfan
@RiotDemon YES!
@RiotDemon Might I point out that njfan is the reigning Meh (unofficial) fantasy football champion.
@RiotDemon @sammydog01 Well then that is even more reason to nominate. LOL
And he just bought a car! Wrong color though.

@RiotDemon say wha?
Don’t you think the current goat should recommend who his successor should be?
@Felton10 You can recommend by whom you vote for. hehehe
@Kidsandliz huh?
@Felton10 Since you can’t choose your successor your only choice is to vote for whom you want. Actually you can canvas for them too. That has been done before.
@Felton10 Choose, not directly. Nominate and let the community decide, go for it.
@Kidsandliz That is a big responsibility for me and Walter. We will talk once his swelling head returns to normal size from me telling he is really a dinosaur.
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz I think he knew just saying
@Kidsandliz @unksol After 25 years we still have no idea what he knows or doesn’t know. We just know we don’t treat him like a bird and he doesn’t act like one. Obviously if he were a dinosaur we would have no idea what to do with him.
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz I think he might have known the hol3 e time and doing some patrolling
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz @unksol
Well, clearly:
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz @macromeh I mean. I’d ride that
@Felton10 Who would you pick?
@Felton10 I think this is a wonderful idea. To maximize impartiality, don’t nominate me.
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz @macromeh @unksol
Too easy.
Weird. Your mom said the same thing to me last night.
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz @macromeh @mike808 I mean that was not my mom.
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz @macromeh @unksol
Oh. Tell your dad"Hi" for me, then.
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz @macromeh @mike808 he says what’s up
Walter and I are leaning toward @Lynnerizer
@Felton10
I’m tempted to nominate Walter.
In his own GoatRight.
I’ll hold off for now.
@Felton10. Oh jeeze, I go dark for a day or two and I come back to this? IDK if I could fill such big shoes! I’ll be sure to stick around and see how this one plays out…
@Lynnerizer That will teach you. I know it is a big responsibility and hopefully you have someone like Walter to help you shoulder the load.
@Felton10 they were already nominated above. Now the votes are split!
I was told he has to be on Meh to be considered. But I’m sure in a pinch he would accept the challenge.
@Felton10 Well there is nothing stopping you from making him an account. You did say he had a credit card.
@Kidsandliz Following his charges on his CC is one things, monitoring his posts on Meh is quite another. Who knows what family secrets he will tell?
@Felton10 Do tell. What secrets will he disclose?
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz Maybe we’ll find out what they’re doing with all that bubble wrap.
@Felton10 @Kidsandliz @Kyeh
I’m very much for Walter getting his own account.
Or even several accounts, so that he can hold sock-puppet-parrot-conversations among some of his various parrot-personalities.
@f00l @Felton10 @Kyeh or get multiple irks? :rotf:
This is a picture of Walter. If you appreciate Walter, you will star the original post (by @felton10) of this comment thread.
@njfan Walter was aghast that people were reposting pictures of him without his permission.
He asked me if people were posting pics of the mess he made in order to ruin his chances of becoming a GOAT.
@Felton10 my apologies to Walter. In a show of good faith, I’m encouraging the electorate to vote for Walter.
People, please vote for Walter.
Please!!
Hmmmm, it sounds like someone else might be a possibility.
@Apostlii just posted a comment expressing interest, maybe…on the “I Was Today Years Old” thread:
“How many clicks in a row will magically turn me into a goat?.. asking for a friend…”
@Kyeh how many licks does it take to get the center of a tootsie pop?
Alas I the one thing my administration was going try to accomplish but never got around to it was to get Meh to go off the money standard and on the the bubble wrap standard. Maybe the next goat was try that.
@Felton10 Well that was a poppin’ good idea. Does that mean instead of inflation we’d suffer from deflation? I hope so as then things would be cheaper.
@Kidsandliz Part of the problem was figuring out the exchange rate and then some trouble maker threw a wrench into the works by introducing colored bubble wrap. A month is not enough time to figure out and implement a new currency system.
Besides some out there would accuse me of cornering the market and doing it for my own enrichment.
@Felton10 Some trouble maker hmmm. I guess your world is only black and white? (
). Only if you kept winning irks would you be accused of cornering the market… oh wait… with all the bubble wrap meh gives you likely you’d be considered a paid spy or maybe that they were bribing you to make this new currency rigged in their favor or something? 
@Kidsandliz You will be the first on the suspect list if my dead body if found thrown in a river wrapped in colored bubble wrap.
@Felton10 You will float away wrapped in bubble wrap and never be found so I will escape the blame as they will never know. They will just figure Walter finally killed and ate you.
@Kidsandliz Your previous statement can and will be used against you in a court of law if me and my supply of bubble wrap disappear without a trace.
@Felton10 Walter will give me an alibi and I will give him one. We are set.
Who’s the official gatekeeper OR keeper of the goat?
Has anyone ever been a goat twice and who actually has the final say?
@Lynnerizer us mehtizens have the final say. I encourage you to vote for yourself or Walter. I also encourage you to ask your friends to do the same. Also ask your enemies. Let’s be united in voting for you or Walter for the next goat.
@Lynnerizer
You’re not supposed to be eligible for re-goating … Unless you change your username.
@f00l
OMG, has anyone ever changed their username just to be regoated?
@njfan
Walter gets my Vote!! Maybe I could be lucky enough to be goat for my birthday next month in May.
@f00l @Lynnerizer I don’t think that’s why they changed their user name, but I think that’s how other people justified re-goating them.
@f00l @Kyeh
Gotchya! That sounds so much better. My standards can stay where they’re at for the integrity of fellow mehricans. Lol
I see where this is going. All the people under consideration are throwing their support to Walter in the hopes that they can avoid this dubious honor.
There is no doubt Walter is highly qualified having served as my Vice Goat.
But the powers that be have not indicated whether since Walter is not a humanoid whether he qualifies even though he does not act like a bird.
Omg we have a tie. What happens if it is still a tie on 4/1??
/giphy chaos
@tinamarie1974 who is the tie between-I’m so confused.
@Felton10 between @DoctorOw and @njfan
@Felton10 @njfan @tinamarie1974 I say we pick @njfan
@DoctorOW @Felton10 @njfan somehow I knew you would say that, and I bet @njfan thinks you are more deserved
@DoctorOW @Felton10 @tinamarie1974
I won’t reveal my vote but something to consider before one makes their vote:
@DoctorOW: we are curious how s/he settled on their handle.
Walter: he’s a bird.
@DoctorOW @Felton10 @njfan you do realize we can see your vote, right?
@DoctorOW @Felton10 @tinamarie1974
@DoctorOW @njfan @tinamarie1974 I told Walter he is out of the running. He wanted to know if that was an April Fools joke?
@DoctorOW @njfan @tinamarie1974 You want to know how Walter got his name?
@DoctorOW @Felton10 @njfan yyeessss
@DoctorOW @njfan @tinamarie1974 Well being Grey he looked like a pigeon and there used to be this actor named Walter Pigeon and viola “Walter”.
@DoctorOW @Felton10 @njfan @tinamarie1974
Since Walter has been taken out of the running my vote goes to DoctorOW. And I swear it’s got nothing to do with the fact that my favorite dentists name was/is Dr. Hurt! Really, scouts honor!
@DoctorOW @Felton10 @Lynnerizer @njfan @tinamarie1974 We had a Dr. Malashock in the state some years ago.
@DoctorOW @Kyeh @Lynnerizer @njfan @tinamarie1974 There used to be dentist up in DC whose name was Bernard Lips and our daughter went to a podiatrist-Dr. Marvin Footer.
Honestly, I’m still laughing at the Michael Jackson joke that @DoctorOw made, so my vote goes for them
@nonlion what joke?
@tinamarie1974
In one of the first few posts they said “Counter point: Nominate njfan. Who better to be a scapegoat than a Michael Jackson fan who can’t even spell the initials correctly?”
@nonlion
@nonlion @tinamarie1974
@mike808 @nonlion well played sir
who “won?”
At this time, @Felton10 is still goated. Some of us care about these things. I say keep him!
@OldCatLady I want more money if my GOAT stay is extended.
@Felton10 @OldCatLady Money? I thought the currency was bubble wrap and now testicles (see that “other” thread).
@Kidsandliz @OldCatLady By money, I mean what even medium is currently being accepted and as far as the extra testicle is concerned, right after I got the IRK, I checked and yeh there the third one was.
So I better be careful what I wish for in order to secure another IRK.
@Felton10
I agree that Meh shall additionally pay you double your already received $ fee for being March2021 Goat, should you serve also as April2021 Goat.
Meh Gods, back me up on this, pls.
@sammydog01 is currently my favorite mehtizen but if your idea is pushed through, @OldCatLady you may just surpass her.
