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: APRFU30
Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre
My disciples in pranking leave a lot to be desired.
Frank, now covered in welts from the BB gun, babbles incessantly about techno-viruses and machine warriors. Theresa has disappeared, which is frankly a relief after all her incessant ranting about how all her coworkers have wronged her and must be cleansed in a purifying flame.
I had no idea April Fool’s was such a complicated, exhausting holiday.
Frank has suggested that we crash the global economy, and I don’t have the heart or patience to explain to him that his cybernetic mentor is a sentient deal-a-day app with little to no actual influence on the economy beyond flooding various marketplaces with cheap junk.
We’ve decided instead to fill the bathroom sinks at Meh with cereal.
