@JonT I think "really cold" is pretty relative. It does NOT get really cold in Dallas, and no amount of pictures of sissy frost on lolgreen grass will convince me otherwise.
@k3nd0 Hey my sister lived in Dallas and she sent me on a mission to buy plastic sleds for her kids when I went home for Christmas (at the time I was in grad school at U of OK)… they'd go to the golf course and "sled" so proof there is something there you can use a plastic sled on on occasion even if it is, say, a foot of hail...
Wowser. A twofer tuesday that I'm actually going to skip. Not this time you filthy temptress! These seem that they would be worthless up here in Iowa....I could double up though...Fucking fuck. In for three sets, son of a bitch.
@studerc I mentally got as far as wearing them under a different pair of gloves, and then taking those larger gloves off yet remaining gloved. And that seemed really stupid. Your idea is much better.
@nathanK I live in Florida. It was 26 degrees here last week. That doesn't happen often but when it does, gloves can be very handy. (My car also has heated seats.)
When I saw gloves, I thought the pair was the two for Tuesday and I laughed. Then when I saw you get two pairs, I was kind of disappointed because I originally thought it was some kind of sick joke. Either way MEH
What if I like the cruel sting of the biting cold against my flesh every time I want to skip a song? No really, I enjoy having to take my gloves off to use my phone in subzero weather. These gloves are for the weak.
I have never seen a pair of these that are actually worth wearing in Michigan. Maybe if you lived in (Red) Georgia.
And I must have the most giant of hands, because these always seem like they are made for toddlers. Actually, my elementary age kids wear them. That's what size they are.
@phatmass I don't think racist is the word to use here. Prejudice maybe, but I'm certain there aren't entire races of people that only text with their ring or pinky finger
@capguncowboy ... I always use my toes (do you have any idea how many germs are on you fingers? No one worries about toe jam, uh.. I mean germs).. Why don't they have toe gloves? No, toed socks are too wimpy and slick, I want these gloves for my toes. Think they'll fit? Will this start a new fashion? (like the droopy pants) tune-in next week.
@KDemo It straight up says advertisement below it. That makes me wonder if this is one of those KickStarter ad slots the bigger contributors were promised?
@KDemo ... Whoa! Peak-Poke scary.. Tell me that isn't the beginning prophecies of the Armageddon.. I don't think I'll be able to tolerate the living dead at this time.
@KDemo The ad is mine, and it's just a regular ad. Just wanted to promote a cool magazine. People being confused and wildly speculating was a fun twist for me.
@dashcloud - Speculating was fun for me, too. So, It's called Proof of Concept? I tried again. It looks humorously irreverent (I love that), but way too technical for me to understand. Thanks for sharing!
Meh. I have some like this, and some Isotoner with the touchscreen finger and thumb. I prefer the Isotoner ones. These ones have no grip at all. Making it harder to hold anything. My isotoners have some grip, so it's easier to hold phones, steering wheels, etc. They both get wet, which sucks, and neither keep hands very warm, but it's better than nothing.
Probably one of the NSFW-ist order #'s I've had to date lol. teeny-hairy-hare I had to get a little creative with my selection and use the filter (since the first like 44,000,000 results were porn), but:
@Chops Is this that fat bunny that the asian lady was showing off that someone else posted a month or so back? Or is this some weird hair teased dog or cat?
All I wanted for Christmas last year from the bf was a pair of texting gloves, but when he bought some from another deal a day website (but not woot) last Christmas the ladies size was too small. My lady hands are more like small man hands and when I tried them on they didn't even cover my wrists cries in shame. Any chance these will fit?
Wyomingites and North Dakotans say: These gloves will stave off frostbite for an extra 15 seconds over bare hands whilst texting "damn it is cold" to our friends and family during a quick walk to get the mail in a lovely -40 degree wind (Celsius or Fahrenheit, you decide).
I live in South Korea and actually this is kinda reasonable price since in Korea these kinda stuff are sold around $6 or more, different between product but really hard to find below $5 in stores. Well for one-line stores, around $4 i guess.
Why thank you meh, I will pick these up for a stocking stuffer. At this rate, I will have my Christmas shopping done before next Monday. In for 2 sets of 2.
I have this great new car with touch screen controls but no heated steering wheel. These should work just fine on cold days, and I could even text if I wanted to. Meh.
@zachdecker OR that shoot out rays from the finger tips - yah know - vaporize your way through a traffic jam…"But officer, these cheap little ol' things from meh were just $4. How could they be responsible for all that smoking destruction on the side of the road?"
@cengland0 Goats are The Chosen That Delight In His Sauce so I can see why you might be concerned. Rest easy friend as it’s a fox being punched. The Furry Plague must be stopped for the good of all decent Pasta fearing people and The Chosen Goats.
Hey y'all, I know it's a little late but I'm feeling generous...
whoever draws and posts the best hand turkey will win some of these sweet gloves FOR FREE Be sure to write "meh" somewhere on the paper you use so I know you jokers aren't cheating, and no photoshooping allowed.
What does 'best' mean? I don't know and I won't tell you, but I'll know it when I see it.
@JonT This is the best Work-Turkey I could make while at my desk! Look at those feathers! Those supple legs and thighs! That comprehensive waddle! Of course it's the best, man! And it's not even rotated, which makes it much more meh.
@JonT@HollBoll Is there an issue with these? I noticed that the payment authorization on my card's account expired and as such, I haven't been charged. In the orders tab, it still just says 'placed'.
@PurplePawprints As far as I can tell everything should be alright with your order, we're just catching up on shipping things out from over the holidays so it should be updated soon.
@JonT I'm not in any rush for them, I just wanted to make sure there weren't any issues since it didn't look like I had been charged after the authorization expired.
@clonetek I feel for you but it does say "One size fits all but the most giant of hands" and this photo is pretty conclusive proof that you have some giant hands man, damn!
Got my prize today! The FedEx tracking notification threw me; I think JonT was trolling me a bit. 3.9lbs? Love the reference, by the way. The opened (and possibly used) pink gloves arrived in a padded envelope. No where near 3.9lbs. I'm not complaining though, the 2 pairs of pink I bought are already wrapped for some unlucky family members. My wife was stoked to have a pair of her own. Thanks, JonT! I'll try to do something that doesn't include your handsome face in the next contest.
I like mine but I want to knowhow it works? What is so special about the yarn at the tips? Can I add the special stuff to the ring fingers as well? I sometimes need three fingers to access the screen. Thumbs aren't all that easy to do a three finger swipe.
@Ignorant Thanks for the link. I will have to try again tomorrow at work. Something odd is happening with voice over, and safri. The site keeps crashing. I just hopes this tells me how it is done! Pretty cool stuff to make it work.
@ignorant Thanks that was a lot of help. Now I just have to learn how to harvest my own out of the other thread I read! Very cool thanks again for the help I can now add it to my ring finger.

@mediocrebot I love purple.
I stayed up for this?! Meh....
Meh but $4 is cool, well actually it's not, double meh
omg unmehforgettable
These gloves might keep your hands warm.
...if you live in Texas.
@theco2 Perfect!
@theco2 Ooh! I live in Texas!
@Kleineleh Does Meh have a deal for you.
@theco2 @phatmass I was as surprised as you might be, but it does get really cold here.
@theco2 Now I have "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" stuck in my head
@JonT I think "really cold" is pretty relative. It does NOT get really cold in Dallas, and no amount of pictures of sissy frost on lolgreen grass will convince me otherwise.
@JonT My first trip to Austin in '89 was so cold that they were begging plumbers to come from nearby states to help with all the burst pipes.
@theco2 According to the map, they are selling well in Texas and California. Seems odd.
@k3nd0 Hey my sister lived in Dallas and she sent me on a mission to buy plastic sleds for her kids when I went home for Christmas (at the time I was in grad school at U of OK)… they'd go to the golf course and "sled" so proof there is something there you can use a plastic sled on on occasion even if it is, say, a foot of hail...
@k3nd0 It was 50, in Dallas, the day I arrived, back in October. Everyone was bundled up and I was in shorts and comfortable.
@daytonatrbo Texas is taking my advise and I swear, Meh could sell dirty diapers and California would snatch them up.
@theco2 I've lived in Waco most of my life... and it still cracks me up that the coats come out at 70.
These gloves will help me paginate. In for 6.
Instabuy for me. Need them for work. I'm averagely surprised.
tilted-righteous-warrior
Best name order I received, great stocking stuffers and they are non-collegiate colors, for that I am in
@somf69 where's @barney when we need him… sleeping on the job I guess...
@Kidsandliz I love purple.
@Barney Geesh D- for how long it took you to make your bot comment
I use the hell out of these!

@Thumperchick I expected a weird Etsy listing as an image, but alas, not today.
I own these gloves and they work as advertised. Easily worth your $4 if you're thinking about it.
Wowser. A twofer tuesday that I'm actually going to skip. Not this time you filthy temptress! These seem that they would be worthless up here in Iowa....I could double up though...Fucking fuck. In for three sets, son of a bitch.
@studerc angelic-ambidextrous-gambler. Touche meh, touche.
@studerc I mentally got as far as wearing them under a different pair of gloves, and then taking those larger gloves off yet remaining gloved. And that seemed really stupid. Your idea is much better.
@studerc I look forward to reading about your internal struggle every Tuesday.
@JonT Everyone's got demons, Twofer Tuesday is mine. She is a dirty rotten temptress indeed.
Hot dogs in the stockings...not a bad idea...
Deck the halls with hot dog stockings, fa la la la la...
@pitamuffin Fa Ra Ra Ra Raaaa Ra Ra Ra Ra
@DaveInSoCal He said hot dog...not egg roll.
@DaveInSoCal "He's...he's smiling at me!"
@DaveInSoCal
@JonT FUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDGGGGGGGGEEEEEEE... only i didn't say fudge.
Meat stylus. Oh the possibilities.
Florida????
@nathanK I live in Florida. These can be useful for about two weeks out of the year.
@cengland0 Really? Think "Polar Votex"!
@nathanK yes, my wife turns the AC down too far, and I get cold in Florida.
@Kyser_Soze It's in the end of November and I'm wearing a t-shirt and shorts.
@cengland0 I don't know what y'all talking about. it is hot like a summer day
@nathanK I live in Florida. It was 26 degrees here last week. That doesn't happen often but when it does, gloves can be very handy. (My car also has heated seats.)
@Teripie Heated seats can work wonders for a sore back.
When I saw gloves, I thought the pair was the two for Tuesday and I laughed. Then when I saw you get two pairs, I was kind of disappointed because I originally thought it was some kind of sick joke. Either way MEH
@DanielJamesBond it is a sick joke for those of us in TEXAS.
Meh, bastards.
Turfingers
What if I like the cruel sting of the biting cold against my flesh every time I want to skip a song? No really, I enjoy having to take my gloves off to use my phone in subzero weather.
These gloves are for the weak.
@JTrilogy ... For which day of the weak..?
@unkabob feb 29th day of the week
@Kidsandliz ... That'll work.
Gloves?
Pocket dogs
@3XP one of the best running jokes on that show
@3XP Rafi is the Best!
I have never seen a pair of these that are actually worth wearing in Michigan. Maybe if you lived in (Red) Georgia.
And I must have the most giant of hands, because these always seem like they are made for toddlers. Actually, my elementary age kids wear them. That's what size they are.
@katbyter The nicest I've seen that may actually work in Michigan are some of the North Face gloves with the ETips. Like: http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/men-8217-s-krestwood-etip-8482-glove.html
@katbyter I love purple.
@Barney hence the moniker, I presume. If they were purple, I'd buy them even though they are freakishly tiny, and give them to my daughter. Go purple!
@alacrity Damn that is a high quality gif.
Winter is coming.
Need crappy Xmas filler.
I guess I buy three.
ambitious-buttoned-rooster
(I kind of cheated, it's not exactly in the top 10).
@KDemo
@cengland0 - You win best buttoned rooster. Curse you! (But only for another week).
I figured what the heck for $2 for a pair, or $1 per glove, or 20¢ a finger.
Then I got my order #..
frightened-psychotic-octopus!!!
One thing for sure I'm not hiding in a jar!
@BabyBear "frightened-psychotic-octopus" Jinkies! That must be some sort of clue or secret sign!
@BabyBear
@Teripie Thank you. I just viewed the video in its entirety. Wonderful.
@connorbush Check out more "True Facts" on YouTube.
@Teripie will do
These gloves are racist against the people who text with their ring or pinky finger.
@phatmass I don't think racist is the word to use here. Prejudice maybe, but I'm certain there aren't entire races of people that only text with their ring or pinky finger
@capguncowboy ... I always use my toes (do you have any idea how many germs are on you fingers? No one worries about toe jam, uh.. I mean germs).. Why don't they have toe gloves? No, toed socks are too wimpy and slick, I want these gloves for my toes. Think they'll fit? Will this start a new fashion? (like the droopy pants) tune-in next week.
@capguncowboy Race is a social construct. If we label the pinky typers a race they will be a race.
Fingerless gloved looking gloves with fingers that touch my device. Wait, what? In for two, or two sets of two, which is four. I think.
Has anyone else clicked the "Peek Poke" add on the meh home page? What gives??!?
@KDemo I did, and I don't know. But thanks for asking because I wouldn't have even though I was wondering if anyone else was confused by it, as well.
@derpandabar - Thanks for confirming my confusion. ;-) I'm adding a link in case the ad goes away - https://archive.org/details/pocorgtfo04
@KDemo It straight up says advertisement below it. That makes me wonder if this is one of those KickStarter ad slots the bigger contributors were promised?
@Stallion - Crossed my mind as well. Maybe it's a private message.
@KDemo Did you guys read through the book that pops up? It's odd. Nice move, Meh.
@KDemo ... Whoa! Peak-Poke scary.. Tell me that isn't the beginning prophecies of the Armageddon.. I don't think I'll be able to tolerate the living dead at this time.
@unkabob I think what's important here is to follow its advice: Dont let your penguin show.
@LaVikinga ... Good advice (I hope).
@unkabob and some more unsolicited advice - don't glove your octopus unless it is Tuesday
@Kidsandliz ... Damn! Too late.
@KDemo If you've got any questions about the ad, i'd be happy to answer them for you
Hi, @dashcloud - Is it yours? If so, was it a Kickstarter prize? Are you selling something? It seems pretty mysterious.
@KDemo The ad is mine, and it's just a regular ad. Just wanted to promote a cool magazine. People being confused and wildly speculating was a fun twist for me.
@dashcloud - Speculating was fun for me, too. So, It's called Proof of Concept? I tried again. It looks humorously irreverent (I love that), but way too technical for me to understand. Thanks for sharing!

My isotoners have some grip, so it's easier to hold phones, steering wheels, etc. They both get wet, which sucks, and neither keep hands very warm, but it's better than nothing.
This is 100% a great goddamn deal, even if it didn't work on a touchscreen. In for 'Murica (red, white, and blue)
I love purple.
I doubt these are small enough for my hands.
So yeah I bought six pairs. You've won this round meh
Probably one of the NSFW-ist order #'s I've had to date lol.
teeny-hairy-hare
I had to get a little creative with my selection and use the filter (since the first like 44,000,000 results were porn), but:
@Chops Oddly enough, my job still blocked your image. I'm guessing it's because it was from a social networking site.
@Chops KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
@Chops Is this that fat bunny that the asian lady was showing off that someone else posted a month or so back? Or is this some weird hair teased dog or cat?
@Kidsandliz lol I'm not sure.. I'm not even entirely convinced it's actually a bunny.
These just might be what I am looking for...Meh! I doubt it. I am in for 2 anyway.
You bastards bought all the Navy blue. Meh. Light blue it is!
I love purple.
Image search from order number:
All I wanted for Christmas last year from the bf was a pair of texting gloves, but when he bought some from another deal a day website (but not woot) last Christmas the ladies size was too small. My lady hands are more like small man hands and when I tried them on they didn't even cover my wrists cries in shame. Any chance these will fit?
@Cynamon HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No

@Forkmachine North Dakotans say: Screw this - yet another day we're not buying anything from meh.
@Forkmachine Might even be enough time to take a frozen selfie.
I live in South Korea and actually this is kinda reasonable price since in Korea these kinda stuff are sold around $6 or more, different between product but really hard to find below $5 in stores. Well for one-line stores, around $4 i guess.
@Ragnaroki ... Cost of living sucks!
i love that the receipt words cause me to google them and learn new words
Why thank you meh, I will pick these up for a stocking stuffer. At this rate, I will have my Christmas shopping done before next Monday. In for 2 sets of 2.
too funny...numberless-huge-jewel
@clarinetbob These are not the family jewels you are looking for...
I have this great new car with touch screen controls but no heated steering wheel. These should work just fine on cold days, and I could even text if I wanted to. Meh.
Was clicking buy, but you ran out of Navy... Meh...
I love purple.
Just made my first meh. Feels really mediocre, but hey, stocking stuffers are stocking stuffers. I guess I'm doing this right.
mama meh no tanks boys
Navy would have been good, but Meh - they are gone. More mediocre light blue it is.
I love purple.
No purple = no thanks.
@NapkinEater I love purple.
Are these thin enough that they can be worn as glove liners?
Sorry, when mittens get wet they suck :(
Meh. I want the ones that you can talk into your hand phone like Inspector Gadget.
@zachdecker OR that shoot out rays from the finger tips - yah know - vaporize your way through a traffic jam…"But officer, these cheap little ol' things from meh were just $4. How could they be responsible for all that smoking destruction on the side of the road?"
@Kidsandliz If you're shooting rays out of your finger tips, you wouldn't need to worry about that cop. Just sayin'.
@theco2 cops have video proof...
@Kidsandliz Blow that up, as well. Fight the power!
Well I was sold at four fingers and a thumb but there was only white left. Oh well, come the end of winter they will not be that anymore.
I love purple.
"One size fits all but the most giant of hands." Sorry Odell Beckham Jr... no gloves for you.
In for the white pair--that is all that was left. If nothing else, these will help me to text while driving.
@connorbush ooooh oooooh I'm telling
@Kidsandliz I won't get indicted. Good luck. Muhahaha
I love purple.
@connorbush they look like they would be too annoyingly slippery to wear as driving gloves.
@InFrom that is a bummer. I had that in mind. Meh, stocking stuffers they become.
crapidoodle-doo
In for 2...or is that 4? Screw it...in for forty (based on finger/thumb coverage)!
Only white left? No sale.
I love purple.
@soundskinky Dude. Ferguson. TOO SOON.
Hoorah! the REAL Two-Fer-Tuesday is back!!!
gritty heartbroken fork , yes, this was 8 of 10 so thanks meh. oddly there were no actual forks in any of the images.
Slender Horrific Sleet.
@MsELizardBeth And I assumed that it was 2 gloves for Tuesday, not two pair, so I ordered 6 pair of gloves. whoops.
@MsELizardBeth What kind of animal is being punched? I hope it is not a goat.
@cengland0 Goats are The Chosen That Delight In His Sauce so I can see why you might be concerned. Rest easy friend as it’s a fox being punched. The Furry Plague must be stopped for the good of all decent Pasta fearing people and The Chosen Goats.
@cengland0 I think it is "foxy boxing"
@cengland0 That is what the google thought my confirmation number meant.
While I don't think I'll spring for these, thanks for the reminder to pick up some warmer touchscreen gloves for a couple of relatives for Christmas.
barbed-atrocious-vein
I don't want to see a picture of this. :(
@mehdaf yeah...me neither.
@mehdaf @JonT The images for fishy-gaping-artichoke turned out to be disappointing. Someone at Google loves fish so much he ignored the rest of that.
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
@jrwofuga That's my boy!
I love purple.
Hey y'all, I know it's a little late but I'm feeling generous...
whoever draws and posts the best hand turkey will win some of these sweet gloves FOR FREE
Be sure to write "meh" somewhere on the paper you use so I know you jokers aren't cheating, and no photoshooping allowed.
What does 'best' mean? I don't know and I won't tell you, but I'll know it when I see it.
@JonT This is the best Work-Turkey I could make while at my desk! Look at those feathers! Those supple legs and thighs! That comprehensive waddle! Of course it's the best, man! And it's not even rotated, which makes it much more meh.
@JonT
The best part is this is now on our refrigerator. Sure to baffle some visiting family members!
@JonT who won?
@JonT I got my gloves, so i don't need the prize. I just want the prestige of winning!
Mine has a story

@RedHot you need pagination bro.
@phatmass it's 9:13pm and I'm still at work :-/ I'm doin the best I can!
hooray christmas gifts! hope they work better with touchscreens than my ThinkGeek Bluetooth Gloves do.
Have these shipped for anyone yet?
@pkillboredom My order is not shipped.
@JonT @HollBoll Is there an issue with these? I noticed that the payment authorization on my card's account expired and as such, I haven't been charged. In the orders tab, it still just says 'placed'.
@PurplePawprints As far as I can tell everything should be alright with your order, we're just catching up on shipping things out from over the holidays so it should be updated soon.
@JonT I'm not in any rush for them, I just wanted to make sure there weren't any issues since it didn't look like I had been charged after the authorization expired.
Purchased a week ago and still no shipping info?
@BootlegCraig https://meh.com/forum/topics/2-for-tuesday-urge-basics-precision-touchscreen-gloves#547cde7337b01c1806dfef89
No shipping info here either. what's going on!?
@pkillboredom @PurplePawprints @BootlegCraig @ralphieeek
Hey y'all, we're just about caught up from the holidays and these will be shipped out today. Sorry for the extended wait and thanks for your patience.
one size fits some... I feel like OJ. Plus one glove had a hole in it. :(
@clonetek I feel for you but it does say "One size fits all but the most giant of hands" and this photo is pretty conclusive proof that you have some giant hands man, damn!
@JonT I wear a size 15 ring :o
@clonetek @JonT I don't have particularly giant hands, and these gloves barely fit me. I think they are junior's or ladies fit.
@clonetek They don't fit me either. I'll just be re-gift them though... Meh
My FedEx senses are tingling...
Got my prize today! The FedEx tracking notification threw me; I think JonT was trolling me a bit. 3.9lbs?
Love the reference, by the way.
The opened (and possibly used) pink gloves arrived in a padded envelope. No where near 3.9lbs.
I'm not complaining though, the 2 pairs of pink I bought are already wrapped for some unlucky family members. My wife was stoked to have a pair of her own. Thanks, JonT! I'll try to do something that doesn't include your handsome face in the next contest.
@medz You're very welcome! I always take your inclusion of my mug as flattery.
I like mine but I want to knowhow it works? What is so special about the yarn at the tips? Can I add the special stuff to the ring fingers as well? I sometimes need three fingers to access the screen. Thumbs aren't all that easy to do a three finger swipe.
@silverqueen conductive thread, here is an article about adding it to gloves and where to purchase it.
http://instructables.com/id/Making-A-Glove-Work-With-A-Touch-Screen/
@Ignorant Thanks for the link. I will have to try again tomorrow at work. Something odd is happening with voice over, and safri. The site keeps crashing. I just hopes this tells me how it is done! Pretty cool stuff to make it work.
@ignorant Thanks that was a lot of help. Now I just have to learn how to harvest my own out of the other thread I read! Very cool thanks again for the help I can now add it to my ring finger.
These gloves or more meh in person.
I burned through all but one of the ones I've bought. Do not wash them, btw. They shrink to child's size. And I barely fit them to begin with.
