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: APRFU23
Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre
Frank is still underground, texting periodically when he’s able. He insists he’s being followed by “cyber-drones” disguised as well-meaning sanitarium staff. Unsure of how to end this prank, I told Frank I could no longer help him fight the machines. When he asked why, I said I’d been captured, hoping he would consider me compromised and break contact.
Instead, he said he would rescue and/or avenge me.
He broke contact before I could point out that he does not know my location or who might have captured me, nor does he have any discernible fighting ability or skill with which to free me from any serious captors.
He has taken to signing off as “Golden Eagle.”
