You know what we're missing... Goat Shaming
6I thought of this... and the overall feel of this month is missing something... Here's something I'm going to try to start to fill the void... Goat Shaming. We have our own goat too... @Jaremelz... So maybe we can tag her on the shaming also...
I'll start.
@Jaremelz Through the fence and eating the evidence... yup... that's how you roll.

This just in....fuck you @sohmageek!
I blamed @jaremelz for some things this month. I unblamed and thanked her many more times instead. To go one step further ... nope, can't do it.
I suppose I could have blamed her for being late again today, but I'm going to be unemployed before Christmas anyway, so meh!
@narfcake You've made this goat's month fun. And I fully believe that you'll land on your feet whichever direction you choose to go! Nothing will slow down the t-shirt finds!
@jaremelz Thanks. The forums here have been a good diversion to reality this past month.
I did pick up some more shirts from the shirt.woot garage sale. Or maybe it's garbage sale, depending on the blank option. :)
@acraigl still needs to submit a catshirt.
Sorry to hear of your work situation, @narfcake. Would you like a job at a thrift store?
Srsly, best wishes.
@KDemo Thanks, and no. Finding another job won't be an issue, but I'm probably better off taking some unemployment, continue working on getting state licensed, and starting my own business.
@narfcake sorry to hear this, my friend. Wishing you the best in this situation.
@mfladd Thanks. The thing is, if this was a "normal" downsizing, I'd be some bitter old asshole about it all. When it's because heaven called ... it's different.
:(
@narfcake Oh no, that's terrible. I'm so sorry.
@jaremelz Thank you again. To say it's been challenging is an understatement, hence the much needed diversions here at meh.
Between finishing off what projects we are legally able to, turning away projects were unable to continue on, and dealing with unsympathetic asshole general contractors who can't seem to understand that it'll be impossible for someone to complete a contract when they haven't breathed in a month ... and then make legal threats on top of that? Fuck!
@narfcake I'm sorry narf. I'm sure you'll land on your feet and hope it happens quickly for you.
Maybe you could impress upon mediocre the urgent need for a shirt-shop and a narfcake to help run it!?
@Thumperchick If I were to do a market analysis, it'd lean more towards NOT starting a new shirt site now that Woot has the AA option back at a reasonable premium. More so, with them also going into print-on-demand via Amazon Merch, artists have yet another option for "directly" selling their art instead of through an "intermediate" with a capped commission structure.
how do you even shame the shameless?
@Lotsofgoats
I'm afraid to shame her. She might say to me, "eff you" again. She scares me.
@Barney The music I'm hearing in my head: Who yuh gonna call? Goatsbusters! I ain't afraid o' no goats!
@Barney Who, me?
@rockblossom Um, maybe you should get out a little more often.
@Barney lol it was adorable that she censored for you, wunnit? :33333
@Lotsofgoats Yes, she's a very adorable person. Not!
@Lotsofgoats , I have your @barney. All the hay in the world won't save her....
I'm screwed.
@jaremelz that picture seems ok until I imagine little goat poops falling down her back D:
Not to be too serious (I kinda will, but just for a moment), I totally fucking hate those photos that show either a small human or a pet who's "misbehaved" (in many cases they've only do what should be considered natural, normal and maybe admirable and almost every time just what their dipshit parents set them up to do) and has a shame note attached.
Some people seem to think that shit is cute. I think it's passive-aggressive, destructive, confusing and, well, fuck, exactly everything horrible what SHAME is.
Have I mentioned before that I'm escaped from conservative religion? Because I think that's probably relevant here.
MIBMMTIS, but I don't think so.
@joelmw
@joelmw
so like... do we burn him now? please advise
@joelmw This isnot really shaming but it makes me crack up every time I see it
@Lotsofgoats Instructions Unclear, had Joel from MST3K shame a fire for burning things.
@stardate820926 Shame? That kitty looks rightly proud.
@stardate820926 You can't shame a cat. It's impossible.
@jaremelz Here is coffee mug philosophy for you:
"I do not spew profanities. I enunciate them clearly......like a fucking lady."
@Teripie One of my favorites
@Teripie and another
@jaremelz That one is me. I've made grown men cry and I'm proud of it.
I have no idea why people are either afraid of this goat, or somehow spelled into thinking it's sweet and nice. No gif's, meme's or blame - just as she has told so many others here (and me on a daily basis) - FUCK YOU GOAT!
Oh @mfladd what more can I say to you than "GO FUCK YOURSELF!"
And remember.....
@jaremelz You are one twisted goat! Is it November yet?
@mfladd Aww, do you really think you will be safe then?
@jaremelz nah nah nah nah nah
Apparently this month's goat scared off all of the forum members. I know she's frightening - see you in November?
@sammydog01 I'm as bewildered as you are as to how this happened.
@jaremelz I think it's the harshness that we don't normally see from you. Maybe some more blame and shame will fix that!
@sohmageek Do you really think so? I think I'm always both. I mean, you remember August, right?
I'm just complicated :)
P.S.
@sammydog01
@jaremelz you're just too cool to blame/shame :)
@stardate820926
@stardate820926 Oh, no! You've been brainwashed. Don't worry you can be reprogrammed.
@mfladd
I guess I can blame @jaremelz for it raining all weekend so I can't do yardwork...darn hahaha
@stardate820926
@mfladd @barney
@jaremelz
@stardate820926 Aaaagggh, I love it!
@jaremelz, I know this isn't shame per say... but I wanted to say... thinking of you... you... well...
Must I then blame @jaremelz for the error of her cohort in crime, @mfladd? Hey, little wanker, you still owe me a reply over thataway. I deleted the last PMs, so you'll have to start over (because the cleverness of the system dictates that it's a thread, and if I delete my side, then I can't see it any more).
Actually, it's obviously the goat's fault that Woot's PM system is such a hodgepodge of insanity. Who but a drunken goat would have come up with it?
The weather has turned suddenly, and it appears to be Autumn. @jaremelz, why are you killing all the leaves on the trees, and making them fall on the ground?
Ah, yes, the blame game. I could get used to this.
XXOO
@Shrdlu I needed the leaves to make a nice bed, I'm so sorry. (Weird, I just said the 's' word)
Normally, I'd deny any blame for whatever trouble he gets into, but something tells me he'll blame me for this as well. He's been missing some notifications on here the past few days, so I'll let him know just to hit him up side the head with it.
Don't worry, he's weird, he likes it.
@Shrdlu @shawn is a drunken goat? He did a lot of the UI work at Woot.
@jaremelz In the next week, you might just need to be extra bitter. I mean, do you want to close out your reign being known as the apologetic goat?
@narfcake I would apologize for slipping, but fuck that!
@jaremelz That's the spirit!
On a different note, I'm on my third cup of coffee today, so I'm sufficiently caffeinated now. Thanks, @jaremelz.
@narfcake I'm far too low in the coffee department. For that, I really do blame myself.
@Shrdlu all I needed was a ping. I don't normally check over there much. The asked for information will becoming your way now. (and did you call me a wanker? HMPF! :)
And yes, it is the goats fault - she just never accepts blame for anything - BAD GOAT!
@mfladd If you read my reply, I did accept it! Just never from you, asshole!
I was just trying to lend a hand....I'll crawl back into my box now.
@narfcake The messaging system on the forums is not @shawn's fault. In this rare instance, he is blameless.
@Shrdlu I only take responsibility for not being able to kill the piece of shit Woot PM system after years and years of trying.
@shawn But at least there is a way to message... :)
@mfladd Message received. Package on the on Monday. Deleting message on my side. All is forgiven.
@Shrdlu Thanks...Package recv'd :)
If we're missing Goat Shaming, it's clearly the Goat's fault.
This is outrageous!
@f00l @jaremelz the ball is in your court on this one.
@f00l I'm so sorry, I feel go much shame
Oh man, I just can't keep a straight face on that one. ..
Just kidding,
@jaremelz
You've gone too far this time!
Die, m*f*ing Goat, die!
(In 7 days pls.)
@f00l You mean it's cruel and unusual punishment to give @jaremelz a second month as goat?
(off to count up today's blame and unblame tally ...)
@narfcake
Yeah! Blame her, punish her, shame her! 2 months as Goat! Justice at last!
@f00l Also, unblame her, commend her, thank her!
Yeah, I think that'd work.
I'd blame my response last night having been lost somewhere as "bits that never made it to their destination" ... but I also have coffee right now. And I can't blame @jaremelz for that.
@f00l
@narfcake
But seriously, 2nd term? Fuck you! :)
@jaremelz One cancels out the other, right? :p
I was just thinking that it'd take another month for to the whole blame/unblame ratio to balance out, y'know. It's like at 1:40!
Well, meh, today was a pretty bad day for the goat. My sweet lovin cat is at the emergency vet where they are trying to help him. He's in a bad way. This is my world outside of my kids, my baby.
So tonight, blame away. Have fun. Tomorrow, I'll be answering each one of you, my lovely fuckers.
@jaremelz
Ok your news tears at my heart.
All is forgiven.
Prayers for kitty.
@jaremelz Damn it... this is us
@f00l No, don't pull the blame. No pulling punches! Just know, you're safe until tomorrow!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for your cat, @jaremelz.
@jaremelz What a gorgeous kitty. He is a Mama's boy, isn't he.
@Barney He is. Thank you.
@narfcake Thank you! Just heard from the vet. Things went well, but his numbers are close to kidney failure. He's only 8,far too young. They'll monitor him for a few days, and we will just be hopeful.
@jaremelz
Happy news! Thx.
Ok resume:
it's all your fault!
@f00l I'll reply properly in the morning! But he's hopefully going to be ok. There's a good chance he's got kidney damage. We will have to see how the next few days go. But i won't make everyone wait for their fuck yous!
@jaremelz I am so sorry to hear about kitty. Prayers and wishes coming your way!
@mfladd Much appreciated
@jaremelz Yay for kitty being okay!! I hope there is no long term kidney damage, poor floof! (They make some pretty decent kidney friendly cat food nowadays, though!)
@Thumperchick Thank you! I just left after spending time with him. His numbers are still rotten, but hopefully improve soon.
@jaremelz My cat was diagnosed with major kidney damage at age 2. He lived a happy life until age 10. I hope you get the same outcome.
@jaremelz In case your image was important or something, it's showing as unavailable/non-existent.
I'll let you sort out the blame here.
Sorry to hear about your kitty! Hope he still has a number of good years left in him!
@dashcloud Yeah, I was having imgur issues last night. I reposted it in comments though. And thank you! I'm just trying to stay awake long enough to visit later.
@jaremelz Sending healing wishes from my cats to your beautiful big boy.
@jaremelz I have a stage 2 kidney failure cat (and diabetes, heart too small...). he is 14. For him kidney failure has progressed slowly. Hope you get lucky with your cat in this respect. There is a yahoo group for people with cats with kidney failure that is pretty good. It is sad when our kitties (and other pets) have major health issues.
@Kidsandliz Thank you very much for the info. His numbers are bad enough and he's so young that we might be having a very shitty talk with the vet tomorrow. His urine is still solid red, and they expected it to be mostly clear by now.
Still hopeful though. Always.
@jaremelz ((hugs))
@jaremelz Here is the url to the group
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Feline-CRF-Support/info
There is someone talking on there right now about their cat with a UTI that won't go away.
My cat's number (used to figure stage) is 2.8 which stage 2
@jaremelz I'm so sorry.
Here was the tally:
First stop, Salvation Army:
* Unblame & unblame:
Catshirt #1 is a Diana Sprinkle design. But I have to blame. Blame. Blame. Blame. Blame. Blame. Blame. Blame ... uh, BLAME! I'm unsure of its origins, but it was moderately worn enough. The blame part?
A Gildan 64000 and $4? UGH! These fit even worse than a mutant Anvil 980 and for a ringspun, is still pretty rough and scratchy. So I didn't buy it.
Meh: There were a few heavily worn Woot/AA shirts, unworthy of the $4 price. I left empty.
Goodwill proved better:
* Unblame: Catshirt #2, which was Procastination. Printed on a neckstretch women's Anvil shirt, so it was in the men's section.
* Blame with unblame, unblame, and unblame: Catshirt #3 has a hole and bleach stains, but it's AA (women's, so it was in the kids section), Ramy Cat, and for 59 cents ... fair enough.
* Unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame, unblame:
Catshirt #4, in a book store far far away ... except Powell's isn't really all that far. They're just a thousand miles away up in Portland; I've been there. Catshirt? Star Wars inspired? Printed on AA? In really good condition? $1.29? You've done good, @jaremelz.
@narfcake I've been there, too! Thank you for the unblame. And I'm tough, I can take blame too!
I just got home from seeing Zuzu. His kidney function is returning to normal! The big hurdle though will be in the 2 weeks to come, he's very much not out of the woods yet.
But tonight, they saw him get up and come and love all over me and eat! No one has been able to get him to, but of course he did for mama. Sorry, I'm rambling. I have barely slept in 2 days.
@jaremelz I'm very glad to hear he's improving!
@jaremelz yay for kitty lovins!
@jaremelz Thank goodness he is getting better... Make sure he does eat often enough because other wise he could get and die of fatty liver (happens pretty quickly if they don't eat for a few days). You might have to syringe feed him if he stops eating again. With my previous set of cats my then vet had a hand in killing one of my kitties as she/the tech didn't notice he was not eating while he was there for 7 days being boarded and he got that and died 2 weeks later.
@Kidsandliz That was why I brought him home. He eats for me just fine and I was having to go in so often to feed him, it just didn't make sense not to.
@jaremelz I have my fingers crossed for you that he pulls through this.
@Kidsandliz Thank you so much!
@jaremelz Hope your kitty does well, and gets better soon!
