Substitute goat 2/3/16
10For some crazy reason, I answered the call from @lotsofgoats to be a sub goat for him for a day. But, I kind of suck at being a sub, so expect nothing but attitude. Still, go ahead and heap your blame upon me!
Now fuck off, I'm going to the comic book store.

On this day, in 1959, the music died. (According to Don McLean.) I blame @jaremelz.
@Teripie Hey, I wasn't in charge of the de-icer that day.

Oh shit...this is freaky. Here I am at home on a snow day and a courier arrives at my door and hands me a box. I set the box down on the table and return to the forums to blame @jaramelz for all sorts of shit...then, suddenly...
@studerc Well then, it's not from me, I sent...

i think she's saying "Pistachios aren't the same!"

@carl669 - Pretty sure I just changed my mind about that breakfast.
@KDemo you sure about that? there might be cake.
@carl669 - Oh, well in that case . . .
@KDemo And pancakes!

@jaremelz

@lichme

But what says "fuck you Melz" better than saying this is mine and not yours (what? they only had 1 copy) (evil smile).

and yes, signed x 2
@mfladd Aaaaaagggghhh, that does hurt a little. So will this, but what must be done, must be done.

@jaremelz Don't you dare TOUCH Powergirl or Batman. Plus two can play this game. Oh, were you suppose to be receiving these?

Your copies are worth more and signed.
@mfladd Bitch, please.

Also, the looks I'm getting from jare are priceless.
@jaremelz NOoooooooooo, not my Batman! You have escalated this too far! And please tell me it's that you just didn't COMPLETE his head yet.


Plus,

@mfladd Hello, Batman speaking,
Oh, hello Batman, it's me, Robin. Yeah I was calling to admit that I can't sit at the grown up table. You win!

It takes a lot to admit defeat, Robin. No shame in that.
@carl669 Do you see the "utensils" @jaremelz carries around the kitchen??? If she ever suggests meeting up for coffee at a small, out of the way location that doesn't show up on your GPS - I implore you - Please, DON'T GO!!!!!!!!!
@mfladd Well geez, the big knife is in my purse.
@mfladd i've got an arsenal of utensils as well, so i think i'll be ok. although, she might distract me with the star wars apron and then get all stabby.
@carl669 But then we'd realize all our utensils came from meh and that we'd be better off just using sporks.
@jaremelz


You don't even win well! Pfft. Never mind my surrender then.
May "THE FORCE" be up your ass, bitch!
@mfladd And yet when you win, you don't give up.

@jaremelz

@mfladd

@mfladd I just realized that was supposed to say "even when you lose". Wow, I guess I caught that a little bit outside of the edit window.
I blame. ..damn.
@jaremelz Dammit! Now @mfladd's going to keep gloating over your goating!
@narfcake I know, I know....but damn the little baby just lights up when I make a mistake...it's almost cute. Almost.

@narfcake I let it be here. I was the one who told her privately that I was confused by her post (she was in a rush I'm told). I decided just to keep the action going.
I just drank too much Joylent. I blame @jaremelz
@connorbush Don't be such a pussy about it, it gives your protein shake a fishy taste

@jaremelz now that is some quality goating.
The good news is that in the past 6-1/2 hours since I woke up, nothing has gone horribly wrong that I could blame @jaremelz for. OTOH, nothing has gone so right that I could unblame her on. And if I'm to use shirts for a reason, then the baseline would be that I didn't even unblame yesterday's goat for an unworn catshirtswoot at Goodwill last night ... so there's kind of a high bar set right now.
@narfcake
@carl669
1. Nothing horribly wrong = nothing to blame.
2. Nothing super right = nothing to unblame.
3. Number of thrift store shirt finds necessary to garner an unblame: at least one unworn catshirtswoot on AA (or equivalent) + something else. And this might not have a chance at all if I don't visit any thrift stores today. :)
My coffee was not fresh, and I am already too far to go back and get them to make me some fresh, so I blame YOU @Lotsofgoats (I am not gonna blame @jaremelz and risk missing out on some feltcraft/wool/alpaca Irk in the future)
@thismyusername

And to the rest of you (including @mfladd) THAT'S how you line jump.
@thismyusername You will be waiting a while for that Irk. I have her under contract like an indentured servant creating a multitude of super hero/villian dolls. That or until her fingers fall off. (p.s. you will have a better chance if you pay in sweet comics --ok cash will probably do).
@mfladd this is all true. And you already know what comics my cold little heart lights up for!
Was I just nice? Ack!
What the fuck, @jaremelz?! This cat looks fucking miserable!

Worse than that, the only woot shirt I ran across is one with fucking bunguins. By what's-her-thief. FUCK!

Maybe I shouldn't have gone to Goodwill after all. Your fucking fault!
@narfcake my favorite part of that box...
@narfcake I'm so fucking proud of you!
But seriously,

@narfcake Is there somewhere I can read about this drama? It sounds interesting.
@dashcloud Start reading ... here. Coupled with the silence afterwards and that for a long time already, her shirts routinely got "saved" week after week from the reckoning at the very last minute, it's hard not to feel judgmental.
More shirt.woot backstory: I started getting more involved in the reckoning here, determined to undermine Ramy as his shirts had a lot of suspicious last minute survivals too. My weekly numbers proved ... exactly the opposite -- that his shirts weren't gamed anymore than any other artist's -- and ultimately it was most visible in reckoning 237 with an 11-way fight at the end. By then, accusations of voting fraud was also already debunked as his 30th place Cell Division outsold and outlasted everything else from the double-take and original derbies.
@narfcake There was a shirt in a derby in the last month that was rejected due to voting irregularities. I meant to ask you about that.
@sammydog01 It's usually from too many votes originating from one IP address and/or accounts with historic patterns that suggest they're all related.
Do they count all such votes as fraudulent? No - it's common for a household to have multiple accounts. It's not common for a household to have multiple accounts that will only vote for one artist's designs week after week, y'know. And if someone were to get by one time, the resulting sales (or lack thereof) would reveal additional clues for the future.
you're freeeeeeee!
@Lotsofgoats

Well, apparently the key to not getting blamed much is the promise to not only refuse to take it, but to tell people to fuck off!
Thanks all, for...Oh fuck I don't even know, I'm just padding the fuck stats for @carl669.
@jaremelz hooray for extra fucks!
@carl669 take all. give none.
