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: APRFU42

Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre

Amanda Lewis was my first target. Her bowl of M&Ms are a constant hub of office activity and a great mingling spot. I managed to sneak in after hours and add Skittles and Reese’s Pieces to the mix.

When Amanda came into work and indulged in her “morning treat,” the resulting handful of discordant sugar caused her to grimace.

“What the hell?!” she yelled, and as she did I sprung up from around the corner.

“You’ve been pranked!” I bellowed.

“WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!” she screamed as she fell over her desk to get away from me. My recent tribulations with Theresa had given my physical appearance a real “Johnny Five in Short Circuit 2” vibe.
