Take That You Goat! (February 2017 Blame Thread)
6Right off the bat I have to say that writing this post gave me issues. When I started writing it, instead of Feb 2017, I put 2016 down. For shame @ELUNO, For Shame.
Once I got past that and I smiled and nodded in satisfaction though, I aggravated a wound which I have. It’s not as bad as it could have been, because I used ice. Unfortunately though, the ice cube didn’t last long in my mouth, so I got rid of it. I then used a small chip of ice though.
Another unblame for you is the fact that I had issues with somebody’s cordless phone.
After Googling for a while though, found a thread on Woot from 2011 which solved the issue.
So… Take an unblame I guess.
February though is an inconvenient month for me, but with you being goat, I may yet survive.

@jbartus is currently goat. Please direct all blames to him.
February elections are still open and it is still a super close race.
@ELUNO
It’s February in all time zones in this universe. Regardless of who has the badge at this moment, you won (or lost?) the vote for February.
/giphy good day Willy Wonka
@PlacidPenguin
Jan Goat still has the badge. Jan Goat has received very insufficient torment.
Blamer’s choice here.
/giphy choice
@ELUNO @f00l the badge is irrelevant. @ELUNO’s month is already going to be short enough as it is, quit trying to shorten it further!
@jbartus Hello goat. Welcome to your new thread!
@dave could you by chance help @ELUNO out with his new badge?
@jbartus noooooo! He’s busy. They need to relax throughout this weekend!!
@jbartus can’t you just see @dave @matthew et. al. laughing at us???
@ELUNO I’m already getting the blame for the game on Sunday, quiet your head!
@mikibell Perhaps @shawn, @katylava, @harrison, @hollboll, or @galmaegi can help if @dave and @matthew are otherwise engaged.
@jbartus They are super busy with MorningSave. Now that VMP is gone, so is the change of goat.
@ELUNO @snapster made no mention of torpedoing the goat program along with VMP. Now you’re just acting desperate.
@jbartus @mikibell i bugged everyone in slack to get that changed for you. i mean, i think i could have done it, but i don’t know if there’s any more consideration that goes into it besides who you guys vote for.
@katylava noooooooooooooooooooo. Votes were changing! There was hope!
@katylava
Thank you.
@katylava you’re the best, thanks @katylava!
@ELUNO you’re right, votes were changing… back to you.
So get out and vote for @ELUNO!

@mikibell my vote stays with you because of jimmie shirts.
@mfladd sprinkles
@Barney @mfladd @mikibell
Tried doing a basic search on the different names, but after getting links to if “jimmies” was racist, I stopped.
@mfladd
It’s a pleasure to watch the increasingly desperate and increasingly Goaty @ELUNO try to stop the transformation.
/giphy goaty
@f00l WereGoat is more likely.
@f00l
Eye twitching is common after staring for several minutes. Right? RIGHT?
While standing outside my house earlier today, I noticed that a neighbor still has 2 pumpkins by their porch.
Now, keep in mind that no house on my block celebrates Halloween, so seeing them was fascinating.
Anyways, got distracted while noticing that they’re still there.
Although one of the 2 crumbled.
@PlacidPenguin I accept the blame.
In exchange, I goat curse you to get goat eyes making you start noticing almost off season fruits and vegetables around all the time!
@ELUNO
Technically there’s no such thing as fruits/vegetables being out of season, since even if they don’t grow in the US, they’re growing SOMEWHERE.
@PlacidPenguin Off-season relative to you. If a carrot grows in Japan but you never eat it, see it or hear it, did it ever exist?!?! Not to this curse!
@ELUNO
How do you hear a carrot?
/youtube talking carrot
/youtube singing carrot
@PlacidPenguin You just answered your own question!
@ELUNO
Totally unintentionally.
@PlacidPenguin
Re Halloween and neighborhoods.
I’ve visited in neighborhoods similar to the one I think you are describing. Not unusual a bit upstate from Manhattan, also NJ and CT.
Perhaps the pumpkins were a gesture to Thanksgiving?
@f00l
Can’t remember when I first saw them.
There’s a post though about my seeing them. Somewhere…
@f00l
/youtube Steven Universe pumpkin carving
I blame @ELUNO that I forgot to bring gum or a mint with my tasty spicy lunch/dinner
@CaptAmehrican I accept the blame.
In exchange, I goat curse you to have goat breath for the rest of the week!
@ELUNO have an unblame. I read early this morning that The Good Place was renewed.
@PlacidPenguin
/giphy hurray
@katylava
This.
@ELUNO is to blame because my lawn needs cutting, and the yard folks will be here tomorrow, and I had to go to three places to get the stuff for them to plant. And it’s St. Brigid’s Day and spring has now sprung.
@OldCatLady
Spring already? Places are still getting snow.
@PlacidPenguin And weeds. And butterflies.
@OldCatLady
Butterflies don’t really grow near my house. But when I see them (which is rare), I stop what I’m doing (aside from standing, breathing, etc…) and watch.
@OldCatLady I’ll accept the blame.
In exchange, I goat curse you and a horde of goats will come and munch on your plants!
@ELUNO Well, I guess we won’t be having a benevolent goat this month
@mikibell @ELUNO
I dunno. I may enjoy this month after all.
@mikibell I warned you all! Tyrant goat it is!
(Maybe a mix of romantic goat will come out closer to Valentine’s Day.)
@ELUNO
Tyrant goat works for me.
@PlacidPenguin I’ll be extra romantic to you then!
@ELUNO
/image goat and penguin
@PlacidPenguin This is an UberGoat service. I will send you the bill.
@mikibell maybe this?
@ELUNO I hope you have a wonderful night… I have had a miserable day at work, so I am off to put my feet up and enjoy the night!!!
I blame you for the fact that I got Snapple on my laptop.
I also blame you for the fact that I didn’t blame you right away, even though it was obviously your fault.
/image captain obvious
@PlacidPenguin I accept the blame.
Outlook not so good
In exchange, I attempt to curse you by making things less obvious to you for a week and a half.
/8ball Does the curse take effect?
I blame you @ELUNO for being a poor sport about the goating. Cursing people isn’t fun. I blame you for the negativity. I blame you for not giving me the charming flirty fun goat I know you are.
@CaptAmehrican
I think @ELUNO is hoping that this is just a hallucination.
@ELUNO I blame you that I’m defending you to a small extent.
@CaptAmehrican The month is yet young… perhaps over time?
@CaptAmehrican I accept the blame.
Yes
In exchange, I attempt to curse you with the Horny Goat. You will get hit on a lot for the next 6 days.
/8ball Does the curse take effect?
@ELUNO
I could see you having fun using the 8ball a lot this month.
@PlacidPenguin I definitely will!
Trying to read this article but I can’t unless I disable my adblocker. That’s not happening, so - blame.
Went out for supper and had someone else pay - unblame.
Slow service - blame.
Part of what I got was sushi - unblame.
Not the finest sushi I got from them - blame.
Found this article. My stomach didn’t like the video. The only Snapple near me is lemon. Ugh.
@PlacidPenguin I accept the blame.
I don’t disable my adblocker either, so I just backspace out of the page. Therefore, nor curse for you this time.
@ELUNO - I blame you that it took a while for somebody to finally speak out against unblames.
Got invited to watch Hidden Figures for either a showing on Sunday at 3:45 PM, or Saturday at either 1:00 PM or 3:45 PM.
None of those options work for me.
@PlacidPenguin I accept the blame.
Cannot predict now
In exchange, I attempt to curse with the Goat of Invitation. You will get invited to the super bow, but you won’t be able to make it.
/8ball Does the curse take effect?
Installed the 7.1.2 beta of Nougat on my Nexus 5X.
While it includes a fingerprint swipe feature which, on one swipe down pulls down the quick settings bar along with notifications, on a second swipe down expands the quick settings, and on a swipe up at either stage closes them, nevertheless, I’m stuck on a beta until I either exit the beta and lose everything, or I maintain the beta until the stable version comes along eventually.
Also, heads up- technologically obsessed goat will need to be on duty throughout the month as my laptop is giving me issues updating through fast track on Windows Insider builds.
Stuck on build 15002.
@PlacidPenguin Is this an awesome unblame?
@ELUNO
Of course not. Shame on you for thinking so.
@ELUNO @mfladd @narfcake
It’s true what they say though; peer pressure is real (in one sense or another).
Bought a battery for something from California.
Doesn’t work.
@ELUNO I was excited for the battery. Way to dash my hopes.
@hollboll @moose
Any way of getting the 2 blame threads merged?
@PlacidPenguin Merged? Why not make a third blame thread instead!
THIS THREAD IS CLOSED. NO BLAMES ACCEPTED HERE.
@ELUNO
Not until somebody sings.
@PlacidPenguin
THIS THREAD IS CLOSED!

So…
I barely comment on Meh. However, I earned my 13,000th star on Thursday.
I blame you @ELUNO for my having missed it. Too lazy to look up who gave it to me, so I blame you for that as well.
Also, my altruism score decreased, so there’s that…
Although after briefly looking, it was probably either @narfcake or @f00l.
/8ball Did I give @PlacidPenguin’s 13,000th star?
Better not tell you now
@PlacidPenguin You barely comment on meh? Eh? In what universe is “barely” defined as “nonstop, irrepressible chatterbox”? LOL
Edit: although if you count words per post @f00l is the run away winner on that one…
@Kidsandliz
I make less than 10 posts a day on average.
@Kidsandliz I did the math; @PlacidPenguin posts about as much as I do, so no, it’s not “too much”.
@PlacidPenguin I thought this thread was closed? O_o So confusing having two
@jbartus
Blame @ELUNO for your confusion.
But quick chain of events:
Wednesday, the first of the month of February in the year 2017:
1:47 PM EST: @PlacidPenguin creates this thread.
57 minutes later: @hollboll creates the other thread.
Thursday, the second of the month of February in the year 2017:
@PlacidPenguin asks @moose and @hollboll if the threads could be merged. No response.
Later that day:
@ELUNO sings.
Friday, the third of the month of February in the year 2017:
11:00 AM EST: @jbartus admits to being confused.
11:06 AM EST: @PlacidPenguin makes this post.
@PlacidPenguin but @ELUNO isn’t the one who keeps bringing this thread up, you are!
@PlacidPenguin
How many stars have I given now? How many have I received? What’s my score?
⭐️
Don’t wanna crash the mobile browser and still not find out.
@f00l
@PlacidPenguin
At 9.9!
Time to climb into the 10’s!
@narfcake I was saying @f00l, not you, and I also said/implied that @f00l posts more words than @PlacidPenguin posts due to @f00l’s word spigot being stuck in the on position. You know. Like a fire hose. : ) @f00l has made 10,172 posts according to what is posted above. You are at 5376 and @PlacidPenguin is at 5378 (so the two of you are neck and neck). But @f00l uses way way way way way more words. A bigly amount of more words.
@jbartus
Not sure what that has to do with anything.
I blame @ELUNO that you’re not making sense.
@Kidsandliz
Gosh I’m just so proud of myself.
@f00l Proud in a bigly way because you use the best, most awesome, fantastic and absolutely best number of words? : )
@Kidsandliz
Pure unadulterated secret show-off self-praise.
Ya can’t hardly buy that stuff anymore.
@ThumperChick Can you please lock this thread?
Thanks!
@ELUNO you should blame yourself for the confusion…
@Thumperchick
Don’t lock it yet. I just asked @PlacidPenguin some questions. Give the penguin 10 min or so.
1:40 AM EST and I’m eating turkey in a dark kitchen.
The problem is that I forgot to grab a drink to go with it.
@ELUNO
I guess I could try this:
/giphy goat on a spit
@ELUNO
NOT what I was looking for. However, it’s funny so I’ll keep it.
@PlacidPenguin
You’re in the kitchen. Isn’t there anything to drink at hand?
I blame @Eluno for the lack of drink and the darkness, on your behalf.
@f00l
Slipped my mind to go back to the fridge.
Was too busy distracted eating the turkey and muttering against @ELUNO.
Couldn’t find car key last night, it was hanging from my mouth. BLAME
Left cheese in my pocket for 2 hours today. BLAME
Fuku drawstring bag is being put into my closet even though I don’t have a replacement since the corner of it ripped. BLAME
Still no replacement for Fuku drawstring bag. BLAME
Added too much salt to popcorn. I finished it, but it was still too salty. BLAME
@ELUNO
Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers (1987)
Unblames @ELUNO I dropped my phone in my dishwater as I was doing dishes. However i got it out and dried outside and took out of case and dried case and little bit of water on outside of phone proper. So yipee saved phone
