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: APRFU44

Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre

Joy of joys! I had successfully pranked a coworker! Rather than rest on my laurels, I decided to seize the momentum and continue. I removed the label from Kelly’s Hawaiian Aloha Febreze and affixed it to a can of aerosolized fox urine (normally used to frighten away deer and rabbits from gardens).

Kelly used his air freshener as expected, and the smell was a horrible, acrid stench that felt like its molecules affixed themselves to every piece of fabric within 30 feet. Kelly, and almost everyone on the second floor, began to wretch.

I sprinted through the cloud of airborne urine, shouting, “This has been another prank! Everyone! I have pranked Kelly into smelling of urine!”

“Yeah,” Kelly sighed, “I guess you did. That was a prank.”

Prank successful!
