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: APRFU19
Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre
Rich, covered in hives, confronted me in the hallways. His throat was nearly swollen shut, but he managed to choke out the word “murderer” before he collapsed. Another unappreciative coworker.
Theresa has posited that maybe the fault lies not in my pranking abilities, but in the appreciation of those I work with. Perhaps I am a misunderstood genius. Perhaps my pranks are already perfect, but wasted on this group of misanthropic deal-a-day goons.
Could this be the case? Last year Josh copied a photo of himself 737 times and taped them all over Anne’s cubicle. Everyone was most amused by the level of effort and dedication the prank took. Yet I have killed multiple coworkers and caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage and have not been congratulated once.
I will think on this.
