Thanksgoating (November 2023 goat nominations)
2It’s getting nearer to the end of the year, the days are getting shorter, and soon will be the holidays. That also means our current goat @cerridwyn’s month of music will be coming to a close too – and that means it’s time for a new goat of the month.
So nominate away!

Well - we DID have a self-nomination…

@Kyeh To be clear, I’m happy to be the backup plan
@capnjb @Kyeh Well you sort of backed yourself right into it on that thread… Just sayin’.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh I regret nothing!
Well… maybe that one thing.
@Kyeh except he was already a goat already…
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 Yeah, that too!
@capnjb @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 mmm no dupes. I mean I think there was one after a name change. But.
@capnjb @tinamarie1974 @unksol
Three, if you count non-human alter egos.
@capnjb @Kyeh @tinamarie1974
I have no idea what you’re referring to? @Walterbird and @CharlieDoggo were voted on and confirmed. And had discussions with people. Surely you’re not implying that because of their odd mannerisms and desires for treats someone was manipulating/speaking for them?
Who would do such a thing just to collect dead goats? The game’s afoot!
For reference purposes, here’s the link to the Calendar of Scapegoats so that primary eligibility can be checked. (And yes, @Kyeh has already been a goat, in 2021.) While it is Traditional for the goat to be new on the job, this is Meh.

@werehatrack but it is tradition and there are still folks who have somehow avoided the punishment, errrrr, honor.
@tinamarie1974 @werehatrack we have goated pets. Surely someone stuck their neck out.
And no the cats are not in any sort of running
Maybe we should nominate @Mehgrl. Seems she has been around since 2015 and somehow staying under the radar. She also is offering an Irk for shipping…maybe that can play into her month!!!
@tinamarie1974 I’ve been known to randomly jump on furniture?
/giphy goat jumping
@mehgrl oohhh that sounds like fun!
@mehgrl @tinamarie1974 Yup she deserves to be punished (
) for being generous and nice. Being a goat is a good way to do that. I think one could say then we’d be gifting her with a new icon by her name (grin).
@Kidsandliz @mehgrl @tinamarie1974 all I have to say is I have 20 cats randomly jumping on/knocking over/breaking things. Never mind some other behavior. I might prefer an outdoor goat some days.
Granted three are currently well situated. Others in sight. Rest in bed. But give them a few hours
@Kidsandliz @mehgrl @unksol so you are saying you would be interested in your kittys becoming GoaT? I think that is what I read…
@Kidsandliz @mehgrl @tinamarie1974
Not the goat.
But honestly there are a couple that might do better outside if they weren’t cats.
And someone has been having bathroom problems and it’s hard to identify who.
And even if I did identify who you can’t just dump an indoor cat outside. Trying to get them with cameras for a vet trip
I suppose this would be premised both on my ability to turn a cat into a goat, talking to the cat and asking if they wanted to be a goat, and be outside.
The obvious flaw being, if I could talk to the cats we could probably sort this out without the whole goat piece.
@mehgrl @tinamarie1974 @unksol

@mehgrl @tinamarie1974 @unksol OK not what I intended but it think it fits.
@Kidsandliz @mehgrl @tinamarie1974 @unksol
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 @unksol Well, it doesn’t look like anything is going to swing this vote before tonight and I’m going to dip out to enjoy the holiday, so it seems @Mehgrl is going to land a few bonus hours of blame.
