Look at you all showing up right on time. Or maybe you were all late but used your time machines to trick me. I see you. I’m hip to your plans. Guess what, it won’t work. I can see the future, and I know you’re still just getting IRKs, and we all know how badly that story ends.
@mbersiam That may be a good call, but these posts are not (have rarely have been) started by staff, so it seems like it might be hard to keep the OP reminded to put that info in. I could probably edit something in, but I don’t want to drag down the (commonly celebratory) tone of these posts.
@ExtraMedium I agree. and as an inker, we all know the rules and that it’s closed to newbies. Seems like if one is going to take on the role of being the first to post, we should also add it in there as a responsibility of “first poster”.
I like your suggestion of editing it in as well… or even just one of us sticking it in the comments every time, as a reminder.
@xterraguy well keep an eye out if they ever open it up again, although last time I am pretty sure they said it was for real the last time. It’s still very cool!
I’m a bit late today. Been busy. Home internet is out until around Saturday with a fiber issue. . In the background some chameleons are printing. Design from The Dragons Den.
Aw, dammit! So not only did I break my streak, but I missed a whole day of mehrathon too. At least it’s a long one so I didn’t miss out on the inky rewards.
Looks like this one is just about wrapped up. I have everyone here so far already put in, so you’ll see those order numbers over on your SideDeal order pages and in your inbox if you get those notices. Thanks for showing up, and I hope you all found something fun to go with your regret.
Yup - it was a bit early so I dated mine for when it starts.
May the
forcemeh be with us!Thanks!
Thank you @extramedium
Thank you meh
Thanks, @extramedium!
Let’s do the time warp again!

@ExtraMedium
Oh yes, so terribly!
smek (only if you want it)
@ExtraMedium that’s all we ask for
/giphy love meh
@ExtraMedium time is a flat circle
I don’t understand it either, but I expect deja vu
I’m too tired to contort my body any better than this, so Irk is peeking from the shadows.
@die13lda Now I’m curious - who’s that with the black shoe and red sock next to Irk?
@die13lda @Kyeh
I’m guessing: Morton Salt Girl
@kknuutila @Kyeh A good guess but no. It’s Batwoman from the Bombshells universe.
@die13lda @kknuutila Wow! She’s pretty spectacular!
@kknuutila @Kyeh Thanks! I got that done at a comicon one year.
Living in the past still here
/showme a tattoo on my forearm showing a stylized Erlenmeyer flask with a crack in it and a paper showing today’s date, photorealistic
It was gonna be totally awesome to pretend that I have a tattoo and then try to ask for an IRK for it (even though I’m not on the list).
AI won’t generate anything remotely close to the right things, but whatever.
This is totes me, with my completely genuine and real tattoo that looks just like the Meh flask… can I get an IRK?
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!

Hope this works I hate technology
I feel like as time marches on we will need to out a common Disclaimer on these posts that ink for irks is closed for new participants.
Maybe it’s not really that big of a deal… but just a thought

I’m open to suggestions.

@mbersiam Well, for future reference and clarity, here’s the (couldn’t really be much clearer) post regarding all future entries as ineligible that could also be shared.
(cue “it bothers me more than it should” music)
Two words: community
trashIRKDoes this count?
@xterraguy I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I’m pretty sure it should.
@xterraguy pretty cool… Is that fresh?
Unfortunately unless you joined during one of the announced periods it’s not gonna count, though.
@djslack Dangit! Yeah it’s new.
@xterraguy well keep an eye out if they ever open it up again, although last time I am pretty sure they said it was for real the last time. It’s still very cool!
@fredmavis no, it doesn’t. No new folks in the ink for irks club unfortunately.
@xterraguy While cool, it also isn’t the meh logo, so it probably wouldn’t fly.
@Bretterson Meh…
Happy may day
Miss y’all
Meh!
Present and unaccountable
@f00l
Trying again…
Under the wire?
@khaberer It’s a 2-day Mehrathon, so yes!
I’m a bit late today. Been busy. Home internet is out until around Saturday with a fiber issue.
. In the background some chameleons are printing. Design from The Dragons Den.
Wire under?
Looks like everyone who forgot gets another day.
/giphy “another day”
@f00l Yeah, I didn’t forget, I’m just waiting till tomorrow because I prefer to do it in daylight and I got too busy today.
@Kyeh
: )
I’m curious to what the flasks refer to as it seems way before my time
@pakopako
They used to call the organization Mediocre Laboratories:
@pakopako it was the logo for Mediocre Laboratories (parent company of Meh before the Mercatalyst rebrand)
Here’s an article about Mediocre Labs from the early days.

I really don’t get it. If we cross the 24-hour boundary in a meh-rathon… and an IRK is still available… do I need to submit another pic? GOD FORBID
@Jasongb No.
Aw, dammit! So not only did I break my streak, but I missed a whole day of mehrathon too. At least it’s a long one so I didn’t miss out on the inky rewards.
@Pony And most of the stuff is still for sale too - I think one thing sold out.
Sorry you broke your streak though!
@Kyeh I’m so bummed, I wanted to make it to 500 so bad, but I blew it again. I was at 470!
@Pony Gaaah - that sucks!
@Kyeh @Pony Damn.
@Kyeh @Pony I wanted 269 for my old area code then thought maybe 369 nice fun number currently at 350 ish I want to stop somewhere but don’t know where
@gr8mick1 @Pony Huh - I just happen to be at 369
Looks like this one is just about wrapped up. I have everyone here so far already put in, so you’ll see those order numbers over on your SideDeal order pages and in your inbox if you get those notices. Thanks for showing up, and I hope you all found something fun to go with your regret.
@ExtraMedium
/giphy thanks
@ExtraMedium Thank you!
@ExtraMedium
@ExtraMedium Thanks!
Does it count if the something fun were opportunities here and there for snarky pun type comments on the product threads based on the write ups?
@ExtraMedium thanks so much!
HAHAHA - so the order email for this irk landed in my junk mail. Does that mean this irk is definitely filled with junk?
@Kidsandliz Definitely an omen!
