10-11-17 Gifted Fuko
20Apparently @legendornothing isn’t the only one that was lucky enough to be gifted a fuko. Apparently there’s at least two people that are crazy generous enough to share.
Sorry about my terrible photo. I received:
- Red bag, not sure if fuko or fuku
- Cow thermometer, now I just need a steak to test it on
- Green Power wraps, will go on my bike, or my dog’s harness. Whichever fits better.
- black 3D printed bowl… Guess I can throw something in it
- Mediocre socks, I know these are coveted, but they might not fit… Curious to try. If they don’t fit, I suppose I’ll throw them through the wash and gift them to someone.
- 24k face mask set. This retails for $250 (lol) on their website and ~$60 on eBay. I’m going to give them a shot.
A big THANK YOU to whoever was generous enough to send this to me. This really lifted my spirits. 
Tonight’s musical selection is:
Social Repose - Filthy Pride
Only one song tonight because I’m so very tired.

nice!
maybe it’s one SUPER generous person?
@legendornothing during the mehrathon you could only buy one, so it had to be two different people.
My batteries were corroded in the cow thermometer but otherwise it was a pretty damn cool fuku or fuko or whatever.
@SteveOOO uh oh. Mine is mooing inside the package so hopefully it’s good.
also you can scan the text with google translate and convert to english to see if fuko or fuku. Mine was a fuko!
@legendornothing thanks, I have the app, just didn’t get around to it yet!
That’s really cool. Especially the socks. SOCKS!
Tonight (better late than ?) on the metal tour, we go to the imaginary land of Adult Swim.

@2many2no did you get a pair of socks ever?
@RiotDemon I got the one free pair they sent to VMP’s a long time ago. I have them hidden because my wife likes them a lot.
As for all the wild socks they have sold, oh, maybe 30 or 40 pair. Those are pretty much for my wife too, except for the one pair of taco socks.
This couldn’t happen to a Spookier Goat.

@f00l thank you.
Is there a difference between fuko or fuku? Or are you guys discussing spelling? Also, how is a bag gifted? I won like 3 that day and I found out you could only win 1 so my others were canceled. Now I know to stop at the first attempt.
@Drunkenalien fukubukuro means lucky bag. Fukobukuro is an unlucky bag.
You can contact customer service and ask them nicely to send your item to another member.
The socks fit everybody…poorly. That’s what mediocre socks are for!
It may just be superstition, but I always feel that the days when I wear mine to work, my work is exceptionally average those days.
@DaveKnowsAll they fit my feet, but not my calves. I felt pretty meh about it.
That mask set looks very intriguing. According to the ingredient list on amazon, “the gold element cannot be extracted from the formula or melted down for use”. Bummer.
@hac there’s an ingredient list, gold is the absolute last ingredient. I’ll probably be trying one of them this weekend and then I’ll update to let you know how I liked it or not.
@RiotDemon Or whether or not you sill have a face. Make sure you have your goat mask just in case. O h cool - we could have a permanent goat then!

@Kidsandliz no way. Too much work.
