Fukobukuro 19: Fools Rush In

  • This is a Fukobukuro, an unlucky bag
  • That means it’s filled with worthless junk you wouldn’t buy knowingly, and you shouldn’t buy it sight unseen either
  • We used to sell the same sort of thing as a “Fukubukuro”, or “lucky bag”, but the contents couldn’t live up to the name
  • Before that, we used to sell the same sort of thing as a “BoC” (Bag of Crap) at Woot, but someone else runs that business now
  • Long before that, you got your Japanese custom of Fukubukuro dating to the Meiji period, but all we really know about that is what’s on Wikipedia
  • ONLY BUY ONE. Multiple orders will be canceled.
  • (Or buy zero, if you’re smart.)
  • Model: APRFU18

Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre

My next prank was going to involve stink bombs, but after the bathroom debacle I don’t think anyone would notice. I’ve decided instead to try another prank mainstay: itching powder.

The exact formulation is unknown to me, so I have instructed Theresa to harvest the urticating hairs of the Grammostola rosea tarantula. I have deposited them between the keys of my coworker Rich’s keyboard. Once the bristles have irritated his skin and initiated a physiological reaction, I will reveal the prank.
