hesitant-obedient-design. Are you watching me meh? I was chopping an onion on a disposable plate tonight because my 2 average sized cutting boards were in the dishwasher. I didn't want to use the giant one for an onion. So you have cutting boards and now I will have 9 cutting boards to choose from.
@remo28 hate to admit it- but paper plates make the best disposable cutting surface- if only for ease of use and funneling chopped stuff into bowl/pan/mouth...
@alacrity except for when your knife is bigger than your plate. So I hacked up the edges and made a bit of a mess. And if it's wet it can make the plate kind of gross and then get on the counter and make more crap to clean up. I'll do it for something small though, or like tonight when the cutting boards are dirty.
@remo28 Your math gives me flash backs to school. If you have 2 boards already, and each Meh order is six boards, (two sets of three), and a train is travelling south bound at 40mph, how can you reach a total of 9 boards?
@PilotJim yes I have 3. The big one I use for things like watermelon, turkey, other large items. It also has a moat to catch liquids. Then 2 smaller ones, like the sale here. Mine are all very boring and are either white, whitish, or light gray.
Wow, looks like you got the new flux capacitor working on your servers. Kudos for the speedy site rendering! Or maybe you finally fed the hamsters? Whatever.
@Barney Some day, you are going to get the most epic fukubukoro ever. I hope at that point you break your streak to talk about it... In a song that gets stuck in our heads of course.
@labellyy It should be annoying, but for some reason it's just really funny to a lot of us. Maybe it's the simplicity of the whole thing. Maybe for me it's that I truly appreciate the joke in that someone is literally reading through every forum post, just to look for the mention of a color. It's dedication!
@Skitals@normNTexas well then that makes the meh deal look even better doesn't it? It was late at night. Obviously I didn't read carefully and just looked at the pictures.
@Outofmymind They are Dexas, the product pictures on meh say as much. Click the pictures links in the specs for HIGH res. "Dexas" stamped right on the boards.
@Skitals I'll take your word for it, but the Dexas had many more reviews to base it on than the listing shown here. I can't squint that much to see it, but makes sense. Thanks!
Just the other day I thought I should buy a couple more cutting boards- so the timing on this is perfect. I'll try not to tie myself in an edgy-lazy-knot while waiting for them to arrive. :)
(and Daaaaaaamn the site loaded lightning quick! Yay!)
VMP got me like that, in for a set. I've recently partially melted a few nicer cutting boards in the house so while these are nowhere near as nice, at around $1.25 per board they will serve me well. Thanks Jolly-Tacky-Uncle
@kadagan@KDemo I'm too lazy to look up what it was (none of my order phrases are very interesting), but this was striking because it's a real stretch. At 11:15 p.m., anyway.
@mtigani In general, you can assume that if a feature's there, the writeup will mention it, because they like selling stuff and need all the help they can get. So since it isn't in the description, probably not, but until they arrive and fly off our kitchen tables or not, it's hard to say.
@mtigani just get some of that rubbery like shelf liner. Cut it a little smaller than the cutting board, then use it when you use the board. Yes it's an extra step and an extra thing but if slipping is an issue, it's a quick fix.
My first day finding Meh... already a VMP, and placed my order for two sets! Cool deal... just hope my husband doesn't find out I discovered a new deal site, where I'm already buying!!! :)
@Baybay11 Welcome to the madness, enjoy your stay! And he should be super happy that you got six cutting boards for like the price of 1 cutting board. :)
OK so we complained when you said 2 wine glasses in one box was "two for Tuesday" and now we are up to 6 for Tuesday. You really should not be rewarding our complaining like this. It only encourages us you know. I am in for 3 or wait 18.
excellent-blessed-vacation....in for a couple sets....only $001.33 per cutting board...good deal.! Frigidaire did a good job manufacturing my refrigerator so I trust them putting their name on these!
The meh button is spinning and it won't stop.....can't record my "get up at midnight to see what crap is being sold" visit. Must be the new "Logo" theme song....where is technical support when you really need them???????
@mommacomet Exactly what I was thinking. I'm going to throw in an inexpensive cheese knive & a little spoon to each along with a tiny pot of olives/mustard/fancy spread. Maybe a bottle of wine, too. The cellophane wrap & a bow I can get at the dollar store makes it look like I REALLY care.
It sold out while I was in the process of checking out. I'm legitimately disappointed over missing out on 6 pieces of plastic. This is the first thing other than fuku bags I've wanted to buy in months. Sigh.
went for two sets, It'll take care of the office Gift Exchange with leftovers :) and I'm come in WAY under budget for it too. THEY MUST NEVER KNOW!!!!!
@doxeelady I'm in PA and bought it when I woke up this morning. I've resigned myself to never getting another Fuku, but that's hardly Meh's fault. I think there is someone on here you could blame though...
@Cinoclav Yeah? Where you at? I'm holding down the 17701 area. Glad you're getting some good boxes of mystery. It isn't in the cards for me right now. Maybe if the rapid sale days come about soon I'll snag one during a mid-day sale!
@dis_member Just west of Philly in Havertown. I really must be nuts but I do my best to check it at midnight. Probably why I'm falling asleep at my keyboard right nowwwwwwww
Honest question here, when you guys sell out this early, what do you guys do the rest of the day? I'm sure it's not like you are slacking off or anything. I'm sure there is a lot to do to get tomorrow's sale ready, but does it lighten the workload any?
@PanicSwitch I'm sure it does. They have this guy who has to push on this giant wheel that powers all the savings. Once the product sells out there is a big steam whistle that goes off, and the load gets way lighter.
@katylava Well yeah, I wasn't expecting this entire operation to be run on pen and paper. I was really just curious if there was any benefit other than the obvious monetary ones to selling out early. I can't imagine there's a lot of down time when you have to line up sales and update the code every day.
@snapster As a magazine editor, I've got decades of experience with both looking at schedules and cussing. I think I'm a perfect fit for your company, especially if you're planning to start publishing Meh magazine.
I saw this last night and was like "meh" and this morning I saw it sold out and I was sitting here like "shoot maybe I should have got a set" Way to make me second guess myself, @cengland0
Damn; I sure would have liked to buy some of those for my wife for christmas, but every night the site fails to load and when i check back later the item is sold out. This is the third time this week, and the reason I have not become a member to take advantage of the free shipping.
During the day, the sales graph fills the time axis proportionally. However, when something sells out, it seems the time axis is stretched so the in-stock hours fill the full width. Was this an intentional design decision or a side-effect of something?
I got these before Thanksgiving and am so glad I bought them. I had 3 in the dishwasher while using others. Much better than having to hand wash between uses because I didn't have anything else to use. Even my grumpy husband thought it was a good idea to buy more, and a great deal. Of course he was doing dishes at the time.
Mine arrived today, look very nice for the price. One note, there are no brand marks anywhere on it, so it could be Frigidaire, could not, but either way they look good.
@Stallion I'm pretty sure I found a "Dexas" printed somewhere on the boards when I looked at them. They seem really nice, I'll be trying them out tonight with my new Shun knife that my SO got me for my birthday.
@JonT Nice choice! You'll notice who the first sucker was on this (six years almost to the day!)... still use them every day. They're a great investment and will last you forever... hopefully a set like that will pass through Meh's warehouse so you can use that sweet free VMP on them as you expand your collection. http://sellout.woot.com/forums/viewpost.aspx?postid=2798171

@mediocrebot Amazon Price Check link is for (1) Set of (3) Boards for $37.53, at least when I click on it...
@xanadu Which is $75 for 2 sets of 3 boards....
Meh. =\
Those OHSHIT reports did some good. The page loaded instantly at 9:00.
@SSteve Agreed! Very impressive.
@SSteve Yep. Fine here also.
@SSteve Got here good too
@SSteve No kidding. The page loaded immediately. Phenomenal work by Team Mediocre.
Good work by the buyers, too. I need new cutting boards, and this saves me a trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond.
This is the part where I feel like I should criticize someone, but meh. It'd be too much work to find a nit to pick.
@mci Can I be blamed for things when they finally go right?
@cengland0 this was a great thread until this post
@cengland0 Gee, thanks a lot for screwing up the thread and irritating @snapster!
Meh
I don't think I need it, but for $8, why not!
Stupid VMP..
@Alien88 Same here. I asked my wife, "Hey, do we want six cutting boards for eight bucks?" She said, "Sure, why not?" Thus selfish-renowned-frame.
@SSteve I asked mine, she said you stop it, thats what you think all the time and now we have cheap useless junk.
@owace Christmas presents. Not cheap useless junk!
@Alien88 worst case scenario I use these as shields when the wife starts throwing stuff at me out of anger.
@owace Cutting boards. Stabbing boards. It's all the same
If I needed to cut some jelli, I'd get those.
Fantastic! Load time was great tonight! In for a set of two.
Looks like the OhShot report and your fix finally did the trick, good work meh, good work!
hesitant-obedient-design. Are you watching me meh? I was chopping an onion on a disposable plate tonight because my 2 average sized cutting boards were in the dishwasher. I didn't want to use the giant one for an onion. So you have cutting boards and now I will have 9 cutting boards to choose from.

@remo28 Your math gives me flash backs to school. If you have 2 boards already, and each Meh order is six boards, (two sets of three), and a train is travelling south bound at 40mph, how can you reach a total of 9 boards?
@PilotJim Same problem I had with school math. I did't read it correctly. You already had a big one (that's what she said?). Meh.
@PilotJim The paper plate was #9, right?
@PilotJim yes I have 3. The big one I use for things like watermelon, turkey, other large items. It also has a moat to catch liquids. Then 2 smaller ones, like the sale here. Mine are all very boring and are either white, whitish, or light gray.
Wow, looks like you got the new flux capacitor working on your servers. Kudos for the speedy site rendering! Or maybe you finally fed the hamsters? Whatever.
Meh, but at least it didn't take 30 minutes to load.
Well, I'll be damned… it loaded right up! Now I can buy it and go to bed!
Thanks for the hard work, admins!
Well shit. Twofer Tuesday, dirty temptress. Better buy 6 because of impuslivity. No idea why...
@studerc wait... 6 sets or 6 cutting boards?
@MsELizardBeth 3 sets of 2 packs of 3 cutting boards. Mehrica'!
@studerc What the heck are you going to cut with 18 cutting boards?
@MsELizardBeth the real question why didnt everyone buy three sets.
Realsitically though, probably gonna sell them.
Hey @barney ... these only come in blue, orange, and green. Isn't that frustrating?
@MsELizardBeth I love purple.
@Barney I love that you have never said anything else other than "I love Purple", lol
@Stallion I love purple.
@Barney Some day, you are going to get the most epic fukubukoro ever. I hope at that point you break your streak to talk about it... In a song that gets stuck in our heads of course.
@Stallion He has also said "I like purple"
@SSteve He must have been seing red that day
@MsELizardBeth am I the only one who finds it annoying?
@labellyy It should be annoying, but for some reason it's just really funny to a lot of us. Maybe it's the simplicity of the whole thing. Maybe for me it's that I truly appreciate the joke in that someone is literally reading through every forum post, just to look for the mention of a color. It's dedication!
@Cinoclav I too, appreciate the dedication to a character. I hope his fukubukoro is entirely made of purple things.
@labellyy Yes
@Cinoclav Or it could be a bot
@DeuceSevin Not a bot...
Bet you can cut the cheese without worrying with these.....
Will these arrive in time for thanksgiving? It's the only item missing from the bundle 2 nights ago.
@MrGlass well they didn't guarantee the other set would be here by then either...
@MrGlass Possibly but I wouldn't count on it, that Smartpost seems to take longer and longer these days.
@MrGlass Depends on where you live but I wouldn't bet on it
@MrGlass Yeah, I figured. I need to work on my internet sarcasm. So hard to convey tone.
@MrGlass Although, I am hoping it all comes in time & I get to take a photo of me cooking a turkey with all my meh paraphernalia
I could prolly sell them at my next yard sale. For $4.
@ruouttaurmind Exactly what I was thinking. Mine would be priced at. 25¢ ea.
What is this OHSHOT report everyone speaks of?
@RicoSuave It was sent by email early today and had all sorts of details on the server hiccups and stuff.
@Stallion There was an email? Nope. Not for me. :(
@LaVikinga @RicoSuave , @Stallion is kidding. Meh doesn't send out emails too often. It was a forum topic here: https://meh.com/forum/topics/ohshit-report-meh-com-site-outages-at-midnight-launch
@cengland0 :::facepalm::: I never know around here. I just never know.
@LaVikinga an email was sent to @stallion because I mentioned him by username in the post
@shawn Reading fail on my part. Thought my spam filter was eating the rare meh mail again.
@LaVikinga actually quite likely @stallion thought we emailed everyone :) We should email him everything now, like this comment.
@snapster Brilliant idea! Nothing like being kept in the loop of utter nonsense and banalities. Spread the love, share the misery.
@shawn Ha Ha, my bad, I saw the shout out and thought that was cool but thought it was sent to everyone. ROAR!!! ME LIKE MOAR SERVERS!!!!:)
Isn't this 6 for Tuesday?
@MsELizardBeth Good point! Everyone complains about two packs counting as two for ones but there's no love for the 6 for 1.
@PWiddy This is really a 2 for 1, as the 3 piece is a set. This is an appropriate 2 for Tues.
@MsELizardBeth You'll go to hell for that. @PWiddy you too
Board is for cutting?
has meh been catering to the 40+ demographic for the past week or something
People under 40 dont use cutting boards? That explains everything
@jmhsrv makes them dull.
Or you can buy them here for $22 for 2 sets
813013.aspx">http://www.kitchenworksinc.com/85-x-11-Jelli-Board-Vivid-Royal-Blue_813013.aspx
@Kidsandliz That is $10.95 each for a single 8.5" x 11" board, not a full set. Sorry.
@Kidsandliz 8-14 $ each there.
@Skitals @normNTexas well then that makes the meh deal look even better doesn't it? It was late at night. Obviously I didn't read carefully and just looked at the pictures.
Product pictures resemble pagination. In for six.
I'm pretty sure Dexas boards are the exact same thing, same size, descriptions and what not and they have very excellent reviews.
I'm tempted, I am pretty sure my 10 year old wooden cutting board has sucked in as much bacteria as it can and it is time to set it free.
Edit I am in for one. Counterfeit-Frigidaire-Board
Whooohoooo
@Outofmymind They are Dexas, the product pictures on meh say as much. Click the pictures links in the specs for HIGH res. "Dexas" stamped right on the boards.
@Skitals I'll take your word for it, but the Dexas had many more reviews to base it on than the listing shown here. I can't squint that much to see it, but makes sense. Thanks!
@Skitals fo sho!
@Skitals yeppers. not sure who licensed what, but same boards. Jelli seems to be a Dexas trademark.
no, autocorrect, I did not mean to type Texas Jello.
Got a laugh out of the emo Meh face.
No Gerogia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I love purple.
@jrwofuga gerogia?
I might do one but not two. #KillTwoForTuesdays
@Fej just pretend it's $8 for one and we accidentally shipped you an extra.
@Fej keep a set for yourself and gift the other set. Anyone that eats should have a cutting board.
@katylava better yet he should have a friend order 1 for $8 and then claim the accidental extra one sent
![No][1] [1]: Garrison.jpg">
Just the other day I thought I should buy a couple more cutting boards- so the timing on this is perfect. I'll try not to tie myself in an edgy-lazy-knot while waiting for them to arrive. :)
(and Daaaaaaamn the site loaded lightning quick! Yay!)
Ahh, Fruit Ninja...
VMP got me like that, in for a set. I've recently partially melted a few nicer cutting boards in the house so while these are nowhere near as nice, at around $1.25 per board they will serve me well. Thanks Jolly-Tacky-Uncle
@Stallion I bet they'll partially melt just as good as the nicer boards.
Price check, $37.58 on amazon for the same set.
http://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-Professional-Jelli-Cutting-Boards/dp/B0091TG14U
@neuromancer That is for one set. Eight bucks for two sets = $75.16 at Amazon.
@neuromancer Right, but two sets then equal.... Pretty close to $75
@SSteve beat me to it :)
@neuromancer Yes, but here you get two sets for your $8.00...not $75.+ at Amazon
@SSteve @PWiddy @rkwilcox, I am not sure I understand. Please explain.
@neuromancer
hey can someone whip up an excel spreadsheet for this potential sucker.
@SSteve Love that song so much.
Thankfully the site loaded quickly so I could not buy it sooner.
Hope they make a good xmas present
blissful-outspoken-juice
The curse of having VMP strikes again...
Should be good for cutting up some topical-tasty-chipmunk.
Can I get mine with extra BPA?
GIS for my order phrase. Congrats to @shawn and his team for a very anticlimactic reveal.
@editorkid - We have to guess the phrase? mad-hatter-hair?
@editorkid depressed-extravagant-hat?
@kadagan @KDemo I'm too lazy to look up what it was (none of my order phrases are very interesting), but this was striking because it's a real stretch. At 11:15 p.m., anyway.
If they won't warp, splinter, crack or peel, what's the point?
@gertiestn suddenly I want to see these as siding on a house
@snapster Sounds like a mediocre experiment to me.
Christmas gifts, thanks meh!
Apparently, they are made of quirky-secret-bamboo.
Think of your friends and family! They deserve these for Christmas!!!
ok- these are definitely apple compatible
silly x-mas gifts!!
Weird. I was just looking at cutting boards over the weekend. Seems like a bunch of people in this thread suddenly had a need for cutting boards.
CONSPIRACY??
@JonT Agents Fink and Jones monitor all your activities.
@JonT oh, sorry we never looped you in on the mind reading algorithm on the site... feeds customer desire data straight to the buyers' inboxes
@katylava Thinking about customer desire data going straight to the buyers' inboxes gives me the shivers.
@SSteve Just be glad you're not one of the buyers
don't need but i bought anyway. dang you, meh.
@annwat I know. Got me too!
Anyone know if these are non slip?
@mtigani In general, you can assume that if a feature's there, the writeup will mention it, because they like selling stuff and need all the help they can get. So since it isn't in the description, probably not, but until they arrive and fly off our kitchen tables or not, it's hard to say.
@mtigani only if they don't slip!
@mtigani just get some of that rubbery like shelf liner. Cut it a little smaller than the cutting board, then use it when you use the board. Yes it's an extra step and an extra thing but if slipping is an issue, it's a quick fix.
@mtigani Throw a damp kitchen towel under them and they will become non-slip.
@mtigani I have these. I use them regularly on a granite counter top without any slipping around. The texture of the plastic really helps with that.
My first day finding Meh... already a VMP, and placed my order for two sets! Cool deal... just hope my husband doesn't find out I discovered a new deal site, where I'm already buying!!! :)
@Baybay11 Welcome! It's our secret.
@Baybay11 He's going to love you more for this one. Just wait until you buy him a set of flying battle robots.
@Baybay11 Welcome to the madness, enjoy your stay! And he should be super happy that you got six cutting boards for like the price of 1 cutting board. :)
@Baybay11 You should buy him a speaker dock.
Whoever did that write up needs a raise Snapster! I barely cook, let alone chop stuff. Genius. In for 1.
@kristi0501 that @JasonToon is pretty great, ain't he? And a swell fella to boot.
@JonT @kristi0501 - Agreed. In the last 3 days we've had Norman Greenbaum, Sarah Silverman, and today Fruit Ninja. Eclectic creativity.
@kristi0501 Thanks for the kind words! Entertainment is job #1. Selling stuff is a bonus.
OK so we complained when you said 2 wine glasses in one box was "two for Tuesday" and now we are up to 6 for Tuesday. You really should not be rewarding our complaining like this. It only encourages us you know. I am in for 3 or wait 18.
VMP is costing me a fortune.
By design, I'm sure...clever meh.
@mamawoot It's saved me over $100 on shipping, but when you subtract all the things I've bought no other reason that I have VMP.... DAMN YOU MEH.
I only bought these because you guys just sold me a crappy knife to kill and butcher a turkey.
excellent-blessed-vacation....in for a couple sets....only $001.33 per cutting board...good deal.! Frigidaire did a good job manufacturing my refrigerator so I trust them putting their name on these!
The meh button is spinning and it won't stop.....can't record my "get up at midnight to see what crap is being sold" visit. Must be the new "Logo" theme song....where is technical support when you really need them???????
@rgeisel asleep?
Time to find shit to cut like my fuckingbfingers
Take the sets apart, add some crackers, cheese and a summer sausage to the top, add a bow and you now have 6 gifts :)
@mommacomet Exactly what I was thinking. I'm going to throw in an inexpensive cheese knive & a little spoon to each along with a tiny pot of olives/mustard/fancy spread. Maybe a bottle of wine, too. The cellophane wrap & a bow I can get at the dollar store makes it look like I REALLY care.
@mommacomet What an awesome idea. Now I know what to do with the extras. Cheers!
I don't think I'm ready for this jelli
@mzoltek
I keep getting the "something went terribly wrong" video when I click on the order it link
@KSR not hearing of others, I'd try a different browser and see if there's some weird setting causing trouble
yay! REAL 2-for-Tuesday is back!
Awesome deal. I only have 2 cutting boards, and one is shoddy. these should bode well
For a while there I thought Meh was losing its mojo, but now I've bitten on five offers in a row. Keep up the meh work!
congrats buyers of plastic slabs
@snapster That goes both ways - your merch buyers and your customer buyers. Really an awesome deal, thanks!
It sold out while I was in the process of checking out. I'm legitimately disappointed over missing out on 6 pieces of plastic. This is the first thing other than fuku bags I've wanted to buy in months. Sigh.
went for two sets, It'll take care of the office Gift Exchange with leftovers :) and I'm come in WAY under budget for it too. THEY MUST NEVER KNOW!!!!!
Wow, sold out already! I guess people love to cut things.
Unfair to east coast MVP members. Sold out again!
@doxeelady You don't wake up at midnight to see what the deal is today?
@doxeelady I'm in PA and bought it when I woke up this morning. I've resigned myself to never getting another Fuku, but that's hardly Meh's fault. I think there is someone on here you could blame though...
@dis_member Hey, I'm in PA and I get up at 5:20 in the morning. But... who needs sleep? Cuting boards and Fukus for me!
@Cinoclav Yeah? Where you at? I'm holding down the 17701 area. Glad you're getting some good boxes of mystery. It isn't in the cards for me right now. Maybe if the rapid sale days come about soon I'll snag one during a mid-day sale!
@dis_member Just west of Philly in Havertown. I really must be nuts but I do my best to check it at midnight. Probably why I'm falling asleep at my keyboard right nowwwwwwww
@doxeelady I just pick which nights I stay up for carefully- Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Dammit. I would so have been down for this. Damn me and my east coast "go to sleep before rollover, wake up after sellout' schedule.
@Bingo I hereby define that you should only need 8 hours and 11 minutes to sleep and that this sale was sufficiently long.
@snapster Well there's my problem. I slept for 8 hours 14 minutes (3 minute interlude halfway through to pee)
@Bingo Check meh when you have your interlude.
Congratulations on the sellout Meh. I'm happy things went well for you this morning. Have a great day!
We want. We can't have.
So glad it finally sold out. Was too tempted to buy just because VMP. Meh, why do you do this to me?!??
Glad I missed it; these cutting boards are for professionals, and I would have hurt myself.
Honest question here, when you guys sell out this early, what do you guys do the rest of the day? I'm sure it's not like you are slacking off or anything. I'm sure there is a lot to do to get tomorrow's sale ready, but does it lighten the workload any?
@PanicSwitch I'm sure it does. They have this guy who has to push on this giant wheel that powers all the savings. Once the product sells out there is a big steam whistle that goes off, and the load gets way lighter.
@PanicSwitch you know we don't, like, manually record every order right?
@katylava wow spoiler alert!
@katylava Although that would explain last week's server slowdowns.
@PanicSwitch WIth luck they are making address labels for stuff so you don't have to wait until leap year to get it.
@PanicSwitch there's a nice feeling of accomplishment but mostly we're looking at the future schedule and cussing.
@katylava Well yeah, I wasn't expecting this entire operation to be run on pen and paper. I was really just curious if there was any benefit other than the obvious monetary ones to selling out early. I can't imagine there's a lot of down time when you have to line up sales and update the code every day.
@snapster And you know of one item that won't be in a future fuku...
@snapster That's about what I expected, just curious as someone who's never had to work on or code a daily updating internet store. Thanks!
@PanicSwitch in that case, yeah, we like to deploy new code when we're sold out
@snapster As a magazine editor, I've got decades of experience with both looking at schedules and cussing. I think I'm a perfect fit for your company, especially if you're planning to start publishing Meh magazine.
@editorkid I was going to take the time to create a Mad/Meh mashup cover. But wasting my time surfing the interwebs won.
I saw this last night and was like "meh" and this morning I saw it sold out and I was sitting here like "shoot maybe I should have got a set"
Way to make me second guess myself, @cengland0
What do people in Montana have against cutting boards?
@alpine they don't need them because they cut their food with axes on tree stumps
Damn; I sure would have liked to buy some of those for my wife for christmas, but every night the site fails to load and when i check back later the item is sold out. This is the third time this week, and the reason I have not become a member to take advantage of the free shipping.
@Steve7654 site loaded great for everyone else last night.
@Steve7654 Here's why that was happening and what we did and are still doing about it: https://meh.com/forum/topics/ohshit-report-meh-com-site-outages-at-midnight-launch
During the day, the sales graph fills the time axis proportionally. However, when something sells out, it seems the time axis is stretched so the in-stock hours fill the full width. Was this an intentional design decision or a side-effect of something?
I got these before Thanksgiving and am so glad I bought them. I had 3 in the dishwasher while using others. Much better than having to hand wash between uses because I didn't have anything else to use. Even my grumpy husband thought it was a good idea to buy more, and a great deal. Of course he was doing dishes at the time.
I was surprised by how nice these are. You go, Meh.
Received mine today. Very nice. Mehgnificant to be precise. Thank you!
Mine arrived today, and they're awesome. Hubby was impressed by the great deal I got. Win!
Mine arrived today, look very nice for the price. One note, there are no brand marks anywhere on it, so it could be Frigidaire, could not, but either way they look good.
@Stallion I'm pretty sure I found a "Dexas" printed somewhere on the boards when I looked at them. They seem really nice, I'll be trying them out tonight with my new Shun knife that my SO got me for my birthday.
@JonT I've been using Shun knives on them. Prepare for a state of happiness you may not have experienced before.
@editorkid I am so ready! This is my first good knife and I'm really really excited about it. She even sprung for the Damascus:
@JonT So, @JonT's food served at @matthew's bar... When's the party?
@JonT Nice choice! You'll notice who the first sucker was on this (six years almost to the day!)... still use them every day. They're a great investment and will last you forever... hopefully a set like that will pass through Meh's warehouse so you can use that sweet free VMP on them as you expand your collection. http://sellout.woot.com/forums/viewpost.aspx?postid=2798171
@Cinoclav that would be pretty awesome! I'm definitely jealous of @matthew's bar setup.
@JonT I'm not in the least bit jealous of the drinks he's coming up with...
@JonT Nice! I have the lower tier Ka Tan Ren's that Shun put out a few years back - they are fantastic. You'll love that knife and it's a work of art.
