@blaineg@duodec I used to work in outdoor adventure. I’ve seen some real doozies (although whomever thought up that one up was a real bone headed Einstein) - especially with adjudicated youth where you are left thinking, on occasion, that despite your best efforts that there was no way to anticipate whatever stunt they just pulled that was both dangerous and stupid. And then you thank your lucky stars that everyone dodged the bullet this time.
@deathbynoodlez I am happy for you, but actually a little sad to see them offered. I checked the comments each and every day, even if I did not have the slightest interest what they were selling just to see if you posted and what day it was. Congratulations! You’ve conquered corporate America; or at least Texas!
@deathbynoodlez Congratulations on a phenomenal 6 month run ( I enjoyed that), and the best for your wedding! Now we will pester you in the blame thread …
@dave@Jdub you need to introduce a gift feature so you can buy gifts for another user without giving away addresses. I don’t want a popsocket but I’d gladly gift a popsocket as a wedding gift. (As long as Meh will send it and I don’t have to go to a post office or interact with a live human being).
It would be quite funny if a few dozen users all sent noodlez popsockets.
@chienfou@deathbynoodlez don’t forget for their birthday last year they gave away Fuko/fuku’s simply for begging or asking politely. Meh breaks the mold all time.
@dave@Jdub@OnionSoup
Yes this:
you need to introduce a gift feature so you can buy gifts for another user without giving away addresses. I don’t want a popsocket but I’d gladly gift a popsocket as a wedding gift. (As long as Meh will send it and I don’t have to go to a post office or interact with a live human being).
It would be quite funny if a few dozen users all sent noodlez popsockets.
Anyway, can’t use these things because of wireless charging is more awesome. It would put the phone too far away from the coils and prevent charging. Oh well.
Well @deathbynoodlez (and @mike808)… you finally got what you wanted. The answer to your prayers. The apotheosis of your Meh mehmbership. The culmination of your wildest dreams. Now what the fuck are you going to do…?
@reclaimercube I KNEW I was leaving someone out. Dammit. I scrolled through the thread and didn’t see any posts from you to jog my memory…
Well Meh, start the clock again. We’re going to have to do this whole thing over, so next time I don’t forget to include @reclaimercube in my silly meaningless post.
You know, I used to think these things were stupid. And I still do, but seeing @deathbynoodlez bitch about it every day for the last six months made me realize that it’s a stupid thing that I want.
/giphy squealing-tricky-snake
I already completed my “hold down the bottom of the hoard-drawer” purchase during the VMP hour of the meh-RATHON… those certainly crappy 2-buck USB-charger wall warts.
@deathbynoodlez Can you tell me why? The second account workaround has worked for years. Since your new account wouldn’t be VMP, I thought it would let you do it except you’d pay for shipping again.
We all know a second account doesn’t work for FUKO, FUKU, or IRKs because they scrub them later for duplicates (then cancel duplicates) using either the credit card number, billing/shipping address, or other criteria. But I still thought any other purchase would work.
So no shit, here I am in the emergency room, getting wheeled into the room for ekg etc, when my Meh alarm goes off. I dig my phone out of my purse, click “meh” and see the pop sockets. Just as I clicked the buy button, the nurse needed me to get on the bed, so I shoved my phone at my husband and said “honey, buy this for me please!” Never doubt my commitment to Meh Motion!
@chienfou EKG was fine. It’s just my asthma and emphysema kicking up their heels again. I have wound up in acute respiratory failure with a partially collapsed lung in the past, so when it gets this bad I go get checked out. I’m home now. Bunch o’ meds to pick up in the AM, hopefully they’ll get things calmed down.
@mike808 Or at least an option to relinquish our purchase rights for this item, thus freeing up supplies for those who are truly worthy of these things.
@Seeds Worrisome-dastardly-nugget is what I’m going to call these things from now on. That is, that’s what I would call them if I ever bought them. Which I don’t. But I might start getting them now, so that I can call them worrisome-dastardly-nuggets. But then I’d have to eat them. And they’d be delicious worrisome-dastardly-nuggets, and I’d start eating them more and more. And then I’d die.
@Pufferfishy@Stumpy91 Skinny jeans wearers might have an issue, but with the socket unpopped (collapsed), I don’t have any issue with them in my jeans, khakis or shorts.
I had kept my wife up to date on the endless Quip Toothbrush saga… and am now proudly wearing my Schreodinger’s Toothbrush shirt!
This morning as I checked Meh, I laughed out loud when I saw these up for sale.
She asked what was so humorous and I told her the story of @reclaimercube and @deathbynoodlez and others as they kept the vigil for these to reappear.
Now, my wife is probably the most trusting (translation: gullible) person I know - she’s stayed married to me for 37+ years, after all - and she turned to me and said with a completely serious expression…
“I’ll bet they are shills to drive demand and sales of these useless things.”
And that’s when my world turned upside down.
Folks, if you are real, great. If you aren’t, please keep that to yourselves… I enjoy the entertainment too much to have the curtain pulled back!
@deathbynoodlez@Jonas4321
I joined DBN’s cause when he started his thread. I just wanted the guy to have his wedding plans not ruined by Meh. TBH, it was going to be hard if it got close to a year and still no MFPSs.
I do like Pop Sockets. However, I have one working now, which is holding up well and one on standby. Bought them for $2.15 each on eBay, free shipping. Do I want to pay 4x as much for something Meh branded, sort of? Hmmmm.
Now maybe everyone can shut up about these. Every day it’s,”I want a Meh popsocket…where’s the Meh popsockets…it’s not a Meh popsocket…” Get then now and let’s all let it go.
I’ve increased the maximum purchase amount to ten 2-packs in case, uh, anyone in particular would like to have more than the three 2-packs we previously allowed.
If you’ve previously purchased up to the max, you should just be able to place another order for more. Or (if it hasn’t been too long) you can cancel your original order and place a new one.
I learned that it doesn’t matter what I think of popsockets. My wife NEEDS a popsocket and pulled the override lever. I thought I was saved by the technical problems yesterday, but no such luck! I am sorry, Dave, you can’t do that…
@uninflammable I’m waiting. Meh clearly had to place a new order for them to restock. Now they’re sitting on a boatload of them and they’re bound to be sold for less as they get more and more desperate to unload 'em.
So my pop sockets arrived today., they were in great condition BUT I think there was BLOOD on the envelope. What are they doing to the guys in Distribution these days ?!?!?!?!?!?
Nothing says “Guess who is getting laid tonight!” like showing off your "Meh Face Popsocket* at the club to your paramour du jour.
/giphy meh face popsocket
Anyone else having issues with the Popsocket base not sticking securely? I bought a new case, so I saved the Popsocket for it. It sticks, but if I hold it too long (watching moving etc) after a few minutes it comes free.
@mike808@tightwad Well, it is actually a handle. that’s sort of the main purpose of it, to use as a grip to hold your phone. While it started as a device to wrap your cord around, it evolved into a grip, wrap, and stand. On that note, if you’re not worried about taking it off at some point, epoxy is your friend.
@cinoclav@tightwad I meant a handle that you can put stress on. The double-stick tape/glue doesn’t really do well under sustained pressure (like holding the weight of your phone continuously for tens of minutes.
Steady pressure always wins. Just ask Gravity or Time.
@mike808 They’re supposed to use 3M VHB adhesive, which is pretty damn tough. It’s the same stuff that GoPro uses for it’s mounts. They shouldn’t have any issues with being held for a long duration. It took a really good wipeout and hitting mine on the ground to finally knock my GoPro off my ski helmet.
@therealjrn I wasn’t recording at the time. It was up at Attitash, NH and conditions weren’t worth recording anything. Really gray and hazy out and the runs were boring but I caught an edge on a thick, wet pile and it turned me around hard.
@therealjrn Here’s an incredibly boring video from my trip to Val d’Isere this winter. It’s a stunningly beautiful place. Though I hate skiing with too many people and having to constantly stop to discuss directions. I’ll get around to uploading my videos from Utah. The terrain is a lot more challenging and I’m sure the videos will be more interesting.

@blaineg @duodec @Pufferfishy pufferfishy, your comment made me laugh out loud, but it’s so bad!!
O M g. The dude who has been begging for six months should be in heaven. He can pop off all night.
@robpete OMG! @deathbynoodlez
I know there is at least one person happy to see these. Thank God! I think they brought them back just for him.
If you approve of this,
blamethank the goat!Is this the new popsocket that can twist off?
@alsaire No, they don’t consume alcoholic beverages.
@alsaire No, unfortunately they are the original design. If you wirelessly charge your phone, these are not the PopSockets you’re looking for.
Buy them now and never speak of them again.

@Ignorant I will find another pointless cause to get behind
@reclaimercube I’m ok with that.
@Ignorant @reclaimercube I set up a thread demanding they sell merkins.

@Ignorant @reclaimercube nooooooo more whining!
@Ignorant @moonhat @reclaimercube Thank you @moonhat for the voice of reasoning.
@gregormehndel @Ignorant @OnionSoup @reclaimercube I made that joke yesterday
And you can forget about wireless charging…total deal killer for me.
@netbucks pop-socket has an interesting work around for that issue with their new pop-wallets.
@netbucks @Thumperchick …of which this is NOT…
@netbucks Yeah, I’d much rather have wireless charging, but I’m not a teenaged girl, so who am I to judge?
Makes me wish I liked popsockets.
@abamon81 yeah… I don’t like popsockets either… But noodles worked hard on this. So I support the sale.
Limit 3…but I got them, oh happy day
@deathbynoodlez
And it only took, what? 180 days?
@deathbynoodlez I am happy for you, but actually a little sad to see them offered. I checked the comments each and every day, even if I did not have the slightest interest what they were selling just to see if you posted and what day it was. Congratulations! You’ve conquered corporate America; or at least Texas!
@deathbynoodlez u r welcome. It took a lot of reminding from @dave to get me to finally go out and get these for you. Around 170 days or so.
@deathbynoodlez @Jdub Ha, this is true. I think it was around day 10 I started hounding @Jdub.
@dave @Jdub well i appreciate it, and if you have some left over and/or want to sell me more then 3 I’ll buy them
@deathbynoodlez Congratulations on a phenomenal 6 month run ( I enjoyed that), and the best for your wedding! Now we will pester you in the blame thread …
@mike808 yer welcome also. No setting up multiple accounts allowed!
@Jdub @mike808 yup im guilty of trying that
@dave @Jdub Let @deathbynoodlez buy however many he wants. He can have my max.
@dave @deathbynoodlez @Jdub @Kidsandliz He can have my max too!
@dave @deathbynoodlez @Jdub @Kidsandliz @qwerty82 And mine!
@baqui63 @dave @deathbynoodlez @Jdub @Kidsandliz @qwerty82 Ditto here… PLEASE…
@baqui63 @chienfou @dave @deathbynoodlez @Jdub @Kidsandliz @qwerty82 he can have my max. Except for the one I bought. Cuz even tho I don’t like pop sockets, after a 6 month whine, how could I not?
@baqui63 @dave @deathbynoodlez @Jdub @JnKL @Kidsandliz @qwerty82 No QI so No Popsocket! Truth be told I don’t use my phone that much so I am at low risk of dropping it. The QI convenience OTOH is way too great to give up.
@dave @deathbynoodlez @Jdub I feel like @deathbynoodlez should get a few free sets for all their requests.
@dave @Jdub you need to introduce a gift feature so you can buy gifts for another user without giving away addresses. I don’t want a popsocket but I’d gladly gift a popsocket as a wedding gift. (As long as Meh will send it and I don’t have to go to a post office or interact with a live human being).

But all that messing,
Was for this blessing.

@dave @deathbynoodlez @Jdub @tinamarie1974 Or a whole friggin truckload of them at his front door, lol.
@dave @davidd13 @deathbynoodlez @Jdub i mean, that would be hilarious
@snapster @dave @ whomever else we need to beg with…How about it? There are a bunch of us who are in.
@tinamarie1974
Not sure that’s a precedent they want to set.
@chienfou @deathbynoodlez don’t forget for their birthday last year they gave away Fuko/fuku’s simply for begging or asking politely. Meh breaks the mold all time.
@tinamarie1974
Tru dat, but I just don’t want to encourage a repeat 6 month “whine” party…
@deathbynoodlez Honestly, I didn’t even know what a PopSocket was until I saw your campaign. It took me about two months to finally look it up.
@dave @Jdub @OnionSoup
Yes this:

Did these go UP in price or was I just making horrible decisions when I bought them the first time (and they arrived blank without faces)?
@Dizavid they sold for 8 the last time for two.
@Dizavid To be technical about it, last time was last night as the first offering and it was 2 for $12 then too.

I just bought with my quip remorse code. I’ve been saving it for this and for $2 it’s worth it.
@readnj what was the code? I can’t find mine in my email.
@readnj AH! That’s what I SHOULD have done…
$6-7 in local and chain office stores and no shipping.
Careful of the cheap ones, have exposed cord when extended. Won’t hold angles.
Are we delivered?
Love the Model #. Model: D0NT-M3HNT10N-1T.
Anyway, can’t use these things because of wireless charging is more awesome. It would put the phone too far away from the coils and prevent charging. Oh well.

@shahnm Get married and enjoy his newly purchased Meh Face Pop Sockets.

We’ll get this right next time. Promise!
@bdp Everyone wants an Irk plushie.
@bdp @shahnm I can get behind that cause.
Do these have better glue than last time? Is that why they aren’t actually very cheap for a pop socket this time?

Fun fact…making a second account didnt help me buy more

You only have yourself to blame for that.
@deathbynoodlez Try a different payment card.
Or start a new thread for Meh to add a special “Ship to @deathbynoodlez” option on the order form the next time they sell Meh Face Pop Sockets.
@mike808 please… let this be the LAST!
@deathbynoodlez Can you tell me why? The second account workaround has worked for years. Since your new account wouldn’t be VMP, I thought it would let you do it except you’d pay for shipping again.
We all know a second account doesn’t work for FUKO, FUKU, or IRKs because they scrub them later for duplicates (then cancel duplicates) using either the credit card number, billing/shipping address, or other criteria. But I still thought any other purchase would work.

I have wound up in acute respiratory failure with a partially collapsed lung in the past, so when it gets this bad I go get checked out. I’m home now. Bunch o’ meds to pick up in the AM, hopefully they’ll get things calmed down.
@Pony glad to hear it. Sounds like a pretty quick ER visit. That rocks!
@chienfou Yeah, four and a half hours, I think? That’s super fast for an ER. No complaints here.
Hey, Meh!
You should have a ship-to option on the order form to auto-ship our orders to @deathbynoodlez.
Like a wedding registry. With one item.
@mike808 b-e-a-uitful idea
@mike808 Or at least an option to relinquish our purchase rights for this item, thus freeing up supplies for those who are truly worthy of these things.
@mike808 @shahnm Yeah I’d free up mine so he could buy more.

@uninflammable I’m waiting. Meh clearly had to place a new order for them to restock. Now they’re sitting on a boatload of them and they’re bound to be sold for less as they get more and more desperate to unload 'em.
@medz okay yeah but me want now
if you’re on your phone long enough to need one of these you need to check MEH every day…Maybe they can sell you a life.
@fastharry Pokemon Go.
@sammydog01 my point is proven…
@fastharry The Facebook is life

I use a wallet/phone case so no need for a pop socket. I’m happy for everybody that wanted them though
Now that the Meh Face Popsocket challenge has been vanquished, …

So my pop sockets arrived today., they were in great condition BUT I think there was BLOOD on the envelope. What are they doing to the guys in Distribution these days ?!?!?!?!?!?
/giphy oh the horror
Popped there, socket’d that.
Nothing says “Guess who is getting laid tonight!” like showing off your "Meh Face Popsocket* at the club to your paramour du jour.

@deathbynoodlez

LEGOS! EGGOS! STRATEGO! AWESOME!
Anyone else having issues with the Popsocket base not sticking securely? I bought a new case, so I saved the Popsocket for it. It sticks, but if I hold it too long (watching moving etc) after a few minutes it comes free.
@tightwad Is the case surface smooth? It won’t stick as good on a rough or grooved surface.
You can always superglue it.
It’s also not a handle. You could be putting tension on it pulling it away from the mounting surface.
@mike808 @tightwad Well, it is actually a handle. that’s sort of the main purpose of it, to use as a grip to hold your phone. While it started as a device to wrap your cord around, it evolved into a grip, wrap, and stand. On that note, if you’re not worried about taking it off at some point, epoxy is your friend.
@cinoclav @tightwad I meant a handle that you can put stress on. The double-stick tape/glue doesn’t really do well under sustained pressure (like holding the weight of your phone continuously for tens of minutes.
Steady pressure always wins. Just ask Gravity or Time.
@mike808 They’re supposed to use 3M VHB adhesive, which is pretty damn tough. It’s the same stuff that GoPro uses for it’s mounts. They shouldn’t have any issues with being held for a long duration. It took a really good wipeout and hitting mine on the ground to finally knock my GoPro off my ski helmet.
@cinoclav So…where’s the video?
@therealjrn I wasn’t recording at the time. It was up at Attitash, NH and conditions weren’t worth recording anything. Really gray and hazy out and the runs were boring but I caught an edge on a thick, wet pile and it turned me around hard.
@therealjrn Here’s an incredibly boring video from my trip to Val d’Isere this winter. It’s a stunningly beautiful place. Though I hate skiing with too many people and having to constantly stop to discuss directions. I’ll get around to uploading my videos from Utah. The terrain is a lot more challenging and I’m sure the videos will be more interesting.
@cinoclav Here’s a picture of me racing in the submarine regatta.
@therealjrn You’re killing it. Whatcha running in that thing? Gotta be nuclear.
A bit after the fact, however i just ordered them on morningsave for 10.80 (after vmp coupon code).
@deathbynoodlez Hey, looks like the pop sockets are up on Morningsave for more of them.
