Super daylight goatday savings (March 2020 nominations)
11St. Patrick’s Day, Daylight Savings, Super Tuesday, March Madness … these are just some of the things happening in upcoming month. That also means @kuoh has went the entire month as the non-goat. Someone goat must be blamed for that!
But first, we need to nominate another goat …

I nominate @amehzinggrace
@RiotDemon
Candidacy confirmed 1st-hand via whisper.
@mike808 @RiotDemon quiet confirmation here - I like that.
To Whom It May Concern
Thanks, (I think…) for the votes of confidence in my ability to accept blame for shit I have nothing to do with.
Please be aware that if I am selected, due to a prior commitment to my wife and grandkids I will be forced to “Ghost” y’all during the week of 3/16 to 3/22 when I will be backpacking and totally off the grid.
You have been warned…
@chienfou
WoW… I just saw that Glen has a video on camping up… how apropos!
@chienfou No worries. Just remember to press the
pausepaws button before you take off./image pause paws button
@chienfou Well we can nominate you for April then… or do you have an excuse handy for then too?
@Kidsandliz Nope… April is clear for now, and thanks for the (renewed) vote of confidence… I think?
@chienfou Well of course. You’d make a fine

Likely though you can get out of it with excuses for a few months. And some months people might forget about you and not nominate you that month (I notice we have a few mentioned on past nomination threads, some repeatedly, who are still in luck and have escaped that fate). I managed to escape it for a number of months. When someone went on a campaign, even off the goat nomination thread, I finally uploaded a death certificate and that excuse was deemed unacceptable (either that or they thought it was a forgery). Of course that particular month I also got a 9 mo job, had a bit less than two weeks to pack and move out of state before the job started and was beyond busy just trying to survive, let alone be a decent goat.
@Kidsandliz Thanks for the words of
wisdomwarning. I will keep my head down and see what plays out. If I am selected I will do my best to do my best. That’s all I can promise!@chienfou if you don’t want to be goat next month, better come up with a nomination.
@RiotDemon Perhaps “Want” is too strong a word!
No trophies, no goats.
Seems played out.
Can we just kill this whole goat thing?
Then we can blame you for that, Mr. Perma-goat.
@mike808 What the fuck is wrong with you? That doesn’t even make sense.
@mike808 yesssss, make @therealjrn perma-goat until we come up with a better idea. That’ll motivate ‘em to scour the bushes for a suitable goat!
/giphy permanent goat
@mike808 @UncleVinny Sure, OK. Let’s do that then. Fine by me. lol
I was already tricked into doxxing myself to a forum user who claimed they had meh’s backing for a trophy. May as well be a perma-goat too.
@therealjrn Maybe we give the whole goat thing a radical makeover. You know, turn it around to something positive, like the Gratitude Beaver
@ybmuG HAHA
/giphy Gratitude Beaver
@therealjrn We could THANK them for everything positive that happens to us, and UNTHANK them for ev…wait, this sounds familiar…never mind
@therealjrn can you stop being such a grumpy Gus? Maybe put in a nomination for someone that actually joins the forums a bit?
@RiotDemon Let me think it over…
no.
@therealjrn @ybmuG
That could have gone so wrong so many ways …
@chienfou @ybmuG I tried, I kept refreshing giphy over and over. They must have the parental controls switched on.
@therealjrn
@therealjrn @ybmuG since I am at work that is probably a GOOD thing. They call it NSFW for a reason!
@chienfou @therealjrn you’d think I purposely set you up for that, but it wasn’t until you posted the giphy that I realized it. Reminded me of the scene from Naked Gun
@therealjrn @ybmuG I think you have to be of a certain age to know that term. (and yes, I am squarely in that demographic)
and that is one fine film you reference… surely you agree
@chienfou @therealjrn so you’d think being of that particular demographic myself, I’d have picked up on it…
And yes, a hilarious film.
@therealjrn @ybmuG
Aw man… you missed your cue!
@chienfou @ybmuG
When I’m elected GoaT for life, my administration will promise a beaver for each and every one. Some people, say about half the population, already have beavers as I understand it.
@chienfou @therealjrn dang! Double head snack on that one! Just can’t bring myself to say it now. It would just be so contrived… Aww heck!
Yes, and stop calling me Shirley
@chienfou @therealjrn so are you promising socialized beavering? No thanks
@therealjrn @ybmuG
Thanks… I’ll sleep better now!
@chienfou @ybmuG
Look. Here’s the thing.
In most cases you will be able to keep the beaver you already have. I certain rare cases, you might have to go out-of-network for your beaver. But we will begin on day 1 to develop a subsidy, and/or a rebate program so your beaver will never be out-of-pocket.
@chienfou @therealjrn @ybmuG
Oh great. Now just try to unsee refurb pocket beavers during a mehrathon.
@chienfou @therealjrn
@chienfou @ybmuG Once I’m made rul…uh…goat for life I promise an unprecedented era of peace and harmony and plentiful beavers.
Not to leave a certain percentage of the population out, those beavers will come with a supply of Yuge Wood. I know that will make some very happy.
@chienfou @therealjrn @ybmuG
Re nomination, Goat for life:
You’re in!!!
Doncha think?
@chienfou @therealjrn @ybmuG
Ok, surely!
@f00l @therealjrn @ybmuG
@chienfou @therealjrn @ybmuG
Shirley you jest.
@chienfou @f00l @therealjrn @ybmuG
@f00l @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG
@chienfou @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG
What’s in the road ahead?
Wait …
What’s in the road? A head???
@chienfou @f00l @therealjrn @ybmuG
What sin? The road ahead?
For it is paved with good intentions.
@f00l @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG
Oh. I thought it was paved with…
@chienfou @f00l @mike808 @therealjrn
That would be the road to hell
@f00l @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG this place?
@chienfou @f00l @mike808 @therealjrn ummmm, sure.
@chienfou @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG
Hell’s zip code?
MI
48169?
Or
NYC
10018, 10019, 10036?
Or
CA
95969?
Or
OH
44264, 45662?
@f00l @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG but this one LOOKS like Hell.
@chienfou @f00l @mike808 @therealjrn have you been there? The real Hell I mean. Just wondering how one would be able to make such a comparison…
@chienfou @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG
I have not. I hold Google to be responsible for everything.
Including for places designated as Hell
/giphy hell
@chienfou @f00l @therealjrn @ybmuG
Ahem.
@f00l @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG
Well, best I can tell if you name something HELL, you designate it as HELL. So yeah, there is that…
@chienfou @f00l @therealjrn @ybmuG
Designating something doesn’t make it true, any more than designating the earth as flat or the center of the solar system does. Hence, your designation is an alleged one.
@f00l @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG [Definition of designation
1 : the act of indicating or identifying the designation of a speech sound
2 : appointment to or selection for an office, post, or service awaiting his next designation
3 : a distinguishing name, sign, or title … the only star in Lynx with a Greek letter designation— Richard Berry approved the area’s designation as a wildlife refuge
4 : the relation between a sign and the thing signified]1
Upvote for @therealjrn as permagoat!
I’m @therealjrn, and I approve this message.
I nominate @chienfou
@RiotDemon how has @chienfou avoided goat this whole time?
@RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
/giphy Blind luck?
@chienfou @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 More likely it’s dumb luck.
@Barney @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 hey… I resemble that remark,!
@Barney @chienfou @RiotDemon what, lucky?
@Barney @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
Nope… the other.
@Barney @chienfou @RiotDemon oh you resemble a GOAT!! (I am trying here)
@Barney @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
well yeah… it’s the beard isn’t it???
I’m telling. @sammydog01 is double-voting!
@therealjrn DOUBLE-VOTING IS ALLOWED!
@sammydog01 @therealjrn but if you vote for everyone, you can pat yourself on the back that you voted for the winner.
I vote for KuoH. As a non-goat, they remain eligible.
