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: APRFU26
Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre
Frank attempted to storm the Whataburger counter but years of a sedentary lifestyle combined with a very recent heavy meal made it difficult. He floundered atop the counter for a minute or so, and had to fall back before redoubling his efforts to make it into the staff area.
Unfortunately this gave the teens behind the counter enough time to prepare a counter-assault. Several months of minimum wage food service work and stereotypical teen angst led them to a medieval tactic: they threw the fryer basket at Frank.
Luckily for Frank most of the oil had drained, but he still suffered essentially a shotgun blast of boiling oil and bits of fried batter to his face. In between his shrieks of pain, he began screaming for his “cyber warriors” to come to his aid.
At that point Frank’s Aunt Luanne entered the restaurant and led him back outside to her Ford Astro van to flee the scene.
The restaurant staff never bothered calling the police.
