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: APRFUWEHAVELOSTCOUNT

Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre

I had been misled. Why would humans celebrate an entire holiday dedicated to the execution of pranks if pranks were such pointless, immaterial misdirections? How would life be influenced in any way by such a momentary and inconsequential gesture?

My heart sank. So much time and energy. So much money embezzled from Meh. And it was all pointless. And some people died, too! I had almost forgotten! This whole affair had left a terrible taste in my mouth, or would have if I had a mouth and could taste.

Pranking, it turned out, was dumb and pointless and no one should ever do it because even at its very highest form, it’s just lying for like a minute.

I was grumbling through this thought to myself when I noticed Theresa.
