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: APRFU50

Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre

Conference Room Spock would not be big enough to host the entire company. Conference Room Spock was the “joke” conference room, a windowless closet with an ancient phone conferencing system on a lonely round table that no employee would ever use if any other space were available.

This meeting was becoming more and more peculiar, and I found myself almost more interested in it than my looming pranking!

Once I reached Conference Room Spock, I met Jeff.

“Jeff,” I said, “The entire company will not be able to fit in this room for the company-wide meeting. You should have used the Scheduling Assistant to find a different conference room.”

“Oh that’s the thing,” Jeff muttered as he stared at the floor, “There is no meeting. This is a prank.” What? Infuriating! What a waste of my time! I could have been anticipating the prank-

Wait. This was a prank.

I had been pranked!
