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: APRFU22
Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre
Frank has gone rogue.
It is my fault. I felt he was engaging a little too much with the prank, and was trying to let things cool down. When IT showed up to replace some mouse-chewed ethernet cords by his desk, he assumed it must be some sort of sinister machine plot to capture him. He assaulted Vipul and attempted to jump through the nearest window, but it was reinforced safety glass. Then he ran for the fire exit and left.
Frank is now texting me from an unknown location and asking to be assimilated into cyberspace. I have never mentioned cyberspace or any kind of assimilation so I’m unclear as to how he got this idea.
He is adamant that I teach him kung fu.
