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: APRFU48
Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre
The prank came quickly! Much quicker than I had initially expected. Roughly 1 hour after my email, a Meeting Invite dinged in my inbox. A mandatory company meeting? In 18 minutes? Sent from Jeff?
What were the odds?
I was a little disappointed that I would have to sit through what would no doubt be a pointless meeting, but maybe the deadpan yammering would be a welcome distraction from my excitement. It might even let me take my sensors down long enough for someone to sneak up on me!
I hoped my friends would know better than to try a food-based prank, as I would have to pretend to be able to care about food in any way.
