Pick-your-2-Pack: Candy Canes in Odd Flavors
We've Created A Monster
Anyone else getting tired of the same old monsters. Dracula? More like Drab-ula! Zombies? A bunch of real zom-bozos! Werewolves? Get-the-hell-outta-here, wolves! Enough with the masked killers using gardening implements, with the typical ghosts and ghouls, and enough with the clowns! No, it’s about time we forge a bold new direction in horror. I’ve even roped in our own resident monster-sculptor @KoolHandJoe for his expert opinions on the matter. Let’s see what we’ve got.

At this point, we’ve been conditioned as a society to ignore our phone when it rings if we don’t recognize a number until it hits voicemail. Then we wait for a voicemail to come through, if there is one, and listen to that before possibly calling the number back. Saves you from interacting with wrong numbers, telemarketers, all that stuff. Now that this is the norm, however, it’s the perfect time to prey upon that level of comfort. Introduce a monster, a vengeful spirit or demon that gets people who let a phone ring through despite being capable of answering at the time. It’s almost like the opposite of The Ring. You’ve got seven days to live if you don’t answer.
@KoolHandJoe: “Similar to what happens if you let your mom go to voicemail when she calls.”
What’s a Meh-rathon?
Normally, Meh is all about one deal per day—simple. But sometimes, we throw that out the window. A Meh-rathon is an all-day gauntlet of nonstop deals. One after another, untill we run out of stuff (or patience). It's chaotic. It's fun. It's a terrible way to shop responsibly. You've been warned.
