What is Lincoln’s Waffle Breakfast for my Valentine? Alex. (February Blame Thread)
5Hey I just rocked the Jeopardy online test this week. Who knows maybe I can get an invite. In other news it’s February and we need to blame someone for the hell that beset us all in this month of love. From Lincoln’s birthday to Valentine’s Day, to Presidents Day this month is full of holidays that really make you wonder if February just sucks.

/giphy Lincoln’s Birthday
/giphy Presidents’ Day
It’s time for some blame. So let’s blame the goat. Traditions don’t just go away because they get boring, if they did that conjugal visit with your wife or husband or significant other on your birthday would be no more. Vi va la scapegoat. Thanks @stolicat for a Meh January my your retirement find you contentment. Now who is the next volunteer, victim, tribute? Doesn’t matter because we don’t need witnesses and it’s hip to be square.

Month of accepting personal responsibility and no blame-shaming to commence?
@amehzinggrace nope personal responsibility is out the window
Blame for the rediculously long blame thread title.
Blame delivery for February goat arrives at driver’s next stop.
Blame
/giphy jus’ ‘cause
This thread is typically used to introduce the star of the show, our goat, and why he or she was elected. Which is why it is posted by a staff member.
Are you a middle child @bleedmichigan?
@sammydog01 only child. And I needed someone to blame and the old goat is dead may @stolicat Rest In Peace. At least when I was goat I stayed around till my replacement was enshrined. If you don’t like it well you have no one to blame currently.
@bleedmichigan @sammydog01 @stolicat
Maybe if a staffer could be bothered to read a calendar, they would know when the 1st of the month is and be prepared to create the thread.
It’s not like it is a surprise. Pretty sure a millennial is to blame, not the scapegoat.
Next month, let’s vote for the staffer blamed by the staffer that finally puts up the official thread.
@bleedmichigan @mike808 @sammydog01 I was surprised that my goat flipped almost immediately after 9 PM (out here time) - I was expecting the usual lag.
But @kuoh does have a goat badge now.
@kuoh @mike808 @sammydog01 @stolicat excellent someone to blame
Have we picked one yet? Do we ever choose the same person more than once? I volunteer!
@PooltoyWolf @kuoh has been officially goated for February, but they appear to be in hiding.
I’m sure that your offer to volunteer will come back to haunt you next month …
@kuoh @stolicat Ahhh there we go!
@Kuoh has not been a very active participant in the forums lately, it at least not within the topics I read.
This is the reason I didn’t vote for @Kuoh as Goat. To me, there has to be a certain minimal demonstrated interest and willingness to be a regular participant before I find someone is be a viable nominee.
We can’t just pull someone who only posts once a month or something as Goat and then expect them to show up and play the role.
So I feared @Kuoh might no-show, if chosen.
For which I blame the Goat, I guess.
@f00l I would have totally shown up…back to lurking…
@amehzinggrace @f00l I’ll remember that
@amehzinggrace @f00l
So, when are you showing up with the pizza? I’m getting hungry.
Notes for next month - just in the last two days @amehzinggrace, @eonfifty, @PooltoyWolf have all volunteered in one way or another for goathood - PtW already had been goat, but pickings are getting thin - maybe the rule can be stretched for goat emeritus of more than 1 or 2 years would be eligible again.
@stolicat I’d be happy to take the blame again uwu
@stolicat
And @bleedmichigan has graciously indicated interest.
@f00l @stolicat
Deservedly so.

@bleedmichigan Blame for the shitty lighting, blue filter, and lack of focus.
Any possibility of a better shot we can appreciate?
@bleedmichigan any updates?
Suggest you show off your new aquariums in a new thread instead of bumping this one.
