@Kyeh Nope! That’s what made it such a surprise lol. Since they print the “dump dates” it’s become kinda a thing to get a bottle “born on” a special date
I’m going to chalk it up to either my partial participation in the scavenger hunt or my multiple lame punchlines in the last Mehrathon (though I’m still proud of this one: )
Well, this is neat. I figured it was a bonus to take the bad taste out of my mouth with those ultra sucky birthday IRKS…nope, looks like another sucky birthday surprise
I got one two and I’m excited and intrigued and wondering when it’s going to ship and what it is and if everyone is getting one and if it will come in a very fine box for my cats to enjoy…or maybe two very fine boxes, one for each cat!
I got one too and I’m excited and intrigued and wondering when it’s going to ship and what it is and if everyone is getting one and if it will come in a very fine box for my cats to enjoy…or maybe two very fine boxes, one for each cat!
@Kyeh Hmmm… apparently when I tried to fix my incorrect use of “two” the comment posted a second time. But, no, I only got one. I do, how we, have two cats and they both are hoping that the surprise comes in a very fine boxes because boxes are their favorite.
I didn’t get two birthday Irks. I did get one (lots of pixel things, and a very fine box. So the cats were happy). But I got the email that says I’m getting a birthday surprise. I’m hoping it’s something other than pixel trackers.
I am soooooo sad. I was sitting here minding my own business wearing my new Meh football style tee, and all of a sudden all my friends are texting me their email notifications… which I did not get even though I participated a lot in the birthday scavenger hunt and activities.
It was recently my birthday and I got worried that meh knows too much about me while also feeling special and excited. Then … I found this thread. Secrets are safe but special I am not. Haha!
@sdragonfire88 Well mine is coming up in less then 7 days but Meh wouldn’t know that since they don’t have a listing of our birthdays. Or maybe… they have a crystal ball???
@iutami I only know what they play on the radio (mostly Satellite, still) and honestly didn’t know they were still around! It is interesting that either /image or whatever generates the order numbers is now making fairly current music recommendations. And encouraging me to watch Heredity, I think?
@mossygreen My favorite album is Goldfly which is super old! I got into them when that album came out. I was in college and they played a show on campus and rocked it. I saw them several times in the years following in larger and larger venues.
Me too. Thanks meh!!! Especially since I won’t be really able to play with today’s event. Out of town doing extended family things for 3 days with 4 things going on Friday including 3 trips back and forth between 3 cities several hours apart, taking my mom incredibly early in the morning, the bringing her home at the end of the day, then turning around and going back. Clicking on the PA turnpike would be as scary thing as one rounds sharp corners going up and down mountains.
@Kyeh Thanks!
I remember how fun it was putting together all the items for the scavanger hunt! Johnny did such a great job of being creative and rounding up all the items as I was stuck in bed not able to walk that day. His enthusiasm for the whole thing absolutely surprised me! He’s a superstitious keno junkie, NOT a meh-head like US! Lol You wouldn’t have known it THAT day though! KUDOS to my other half, he’ll be just as excited as I to open the package, i’ll give this one to him! for FUN (or at least useful) goodies!!
@Kyeh@Lynnerizer I didn’t play the scavenger hunt or any of the other games. Spent all day on meh’s 7th birthday playing with my “balls” and still got one.
@tinamarie1974@Kyeh@Lynnerizer Just hope they do not send them to me. Just got rid of over 40 balls that were in the pinata. You have no idea how heavy it is to carry all those extra balls around.
I’m very excited to see what it is. My only question is did i win something or is it only because I did a scavenger hunt.
/giphy mammoth-energetic-glass
@btwonder@tinamarie1974
less than an ounce…hmmm…let’s see…
Meh Stickers?
Toothbrush token?
Single, loose TrackR - sans extra battery?
$400 gift card?
An IOU?
/giphy what could it be?
@btwonder@tinamarie1974@ybmuG Teeny tiny half ounce plushie is for sure how they should do it when they finally give in to our demands of our very own Irk.
@blaineg@Kyeh Yep. I’m on the FW side of DFW. Normally I get the shipping notification and my very fine box arrives the next day. With this one, I got the shipping notification late last night (Friday). Estimated delivery is Wednesday. I’m guessing my cats will be disappointed in the lack of a box of any kind.
@psbales That’s what I’m thinking. Maybe some sort of “Happy Birthday to Meh!” sticker. Or an IRK sticker. 0.0550 lbs is under an ounce. So first-class postage would have sufficed, but bulk rate is how Meh would have shipped it.
Because nothing says “taxpayer funded corporate subsidyhandout socialism” like bulk rate discounts only businesses can get. Go Murica!
@Felton10@Kyeh Same day as me. And hush, it is NOT “fast approaching”. Because this stupid hot weather is going to last forever, it seems. Birthday day means it’s almost over for this year.
@Kyeh@Lynnerizer I come from a really big family so any get together with less than 50 or 60 people seems tiny and I don’t know what to do with myself.
@Lynnerizer I only have one, but my dad is one of 11 and I have 43 1st cousins on his side. Mom has four brothers and I have seven 1st cousins on her side.
When my great grandma turned 100 several years back we had to find a hall that could give us multiple adjoining rooms. We still ended up with people outside on the lawn/in the parking lot!!
@tinamarie1974
Wow! That IS a big family! You guys must’ve had lots of FUN growing up!
If i’d been able to have children my plan was to have 8. I might’ve been a bit overzealous, maybe that’s why I wasn’t able to have any! Lol Just kidding, endometriosis was the culprit!
@Lynnerizer we did have fun, but the age range is crazy. On my dads side my oldest cousin is 51 and the youngest is in jr high. My youngest Aunt is only two months older than my oldest cousin.
@Kyeh@tinamarie1974
That’s wild! I’ve always had to stop and think when I hear of aunts & uncles being younger than said niece or nephew. Like, now how’d that happen? Lol…
@Sneakertree well I didn’t want to post in case people didn’t want a spoiler alert… is there a way to hide a picture? Or should I just go ahead and post?
@GenWithaG123 You could upload the pic to imgur and just post the link, instead of the photo itself? That way folks who wanna know can see it, and people who want to be surprised aren’t spoilered.
@Trillian all of the birthday stuff was a team effort. I’m not sure who had which idea at this point. I just know I’ve been super excited about these for weeks.
Got mine too - since it came 3 days before my birthday, I’ll consider it a BD present and I plan to have it when I go to lunch tomorrow! (Not saying how I’ll have it so I don’t give anything away to those who still haven’t got theirs.) THANK YOU Meh - it’s terrific and I love it!
I feel like it could become the next Flat Stanley. People will be posting pics of it all over the world - or at least at the local Walmarts, or something.
@CBL_WV@f00l@smjnga
Correct. There was a scavenger hunt to post a picture of various birthday-themed subjects. Like cake, candles, party hats, etc.
This was a small token of celebration by Meh to the participants of the fun and games. And there is a thread of the further adventures of birthday irks.
/giphy traveling irk
@CBL_WV@f00l@mike808@smjnga I received a 7th birthday surprise, but I did not join in the scavenger hunt. I did download the Irk birthday hat (and posted a comment about it).
Yes!! I got one too!
/giphy passing-packed-afternoon
I just got my email! I’m guessing it must be from the digital scavenger hunt they did. https://meh.com/forum/topics/digital-scavenger-hunt
@mattguyver I was thinking birthday cake submissions?
@jnicholson0619 @mattguyver i didn’t do either one and i still got the email. i did post a pic of my dog with the meh bday hat on, so maybe that?
@carl669 @jnicholson0619 @mattguyver This may be it…I did that too.
Also… I was concerned about your address at first… then recognized it.
/giphy simpsons
/giphy ominous laugh
@Thumperchick aww… the Simpon’s address got edited out. do you hate the Simpsons and not want them to get free stuff???
@carl669 I didn’t recognize it and wanted to keep your address confidential. Sorry.
@Thumperchick no worries
From the digital scavenger hunt I presume?
YAY!
EDIT: Doh! @mattguyver beat me to it.
@eVil great minds think alike!
Thank you!
Few things will beat the 5 Grizzlor’s (https://www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=1259) I got on my 7th, so looking forward to it!
Fucking A!!! Me too! Thanks, Meh
PLUS I just got a surprise package from my brother…Single Barrel Select bottle of Blanton’s that was poured on my birthday 2019 Woo hoo!
/giphy competitive flawless poppy

@llangley Is today your actual birthday?
@Kyeh Nope! That’s what made it such a surprise lol. Since they print the “dump dates” it’s become kinda a thing to get a bottle “born on” a special date
@llangley How cool!
@llangley blantons! what letter did you get?
@carl669 you can almost see it above but it’s the “S”…guess it stands for surprise!!!
/youtube Blanton’s animated horses
Wheee! This brightened my day for like, three whole seconds. Best anything’s done all week. Thanks!
I just got notice of one too! Loving it already and I haven’t even received it!!
Oh boy!
/giphy mirrored-surging-bait
Even though this isn’t an IRK, I’m already regretting it!
At first I thought someone stole my login info… OOooOoh now I feel like I’ve won the lottery!
@skantlous me too, I thought the same thing
I’m going to chalk it up to either my partial participation in the scavenger hunt or my multiple lame punchlines in the last Mehrathon (though I’m still proud of this one: )
@lehigh I ordered two boxes of those
@lehigh @PHRoG They look delicious.
Well, this is neat. I figured it was a bonus to take the bad taste out of my mouth with those ultra sucky birthday IRKS…nope, looks like another sucky birthday surprise
@studerc you have the right level of excitement for this.
@Thumperchick perfect.
I didn’t get a shipping notice but I’m waiting patiently.
/giphy patiently
@sammydog01 GOT MY NOTICE! YAY!
I also got the email. Yesterday was my birthday, but I’m much older than 7, interesting coincidence.

I really hope it is a Nader bummer sticker…
I got one two and I’m excited and intrigued and wondering when it’s going to ship and what it is and if everyone is getting one and if it will come in a very fine box for my cats to enjoy…or maybe two very fine boxes, one for each cat!

@gt0163c
You got two, so commented twice? And how did you get two, I wonder?
@Kyeh Hmmm… apparently when I tried to fix my incorrect use of “two” the comment posted a second time. But, no, I only got one. I do, how we, have two cats and they both are hoping that the surprise comes in a very fine boxes because boxes are their favorite.
@gt0163c But how did you get two of the birthday Irks, is what I’m really curious about? I bet there will be a box for each cat…
/giphy cats in boxes
@gt0163c Haha, not what I was going for, but funny enough to keep!
I didn’t get two birthday Irks. I did get one (lots of pixel things, and a very fine box. So the cats were happy). But I got the email that says I’m getting a birthday surprise. I’m hoping it’s something other than pixel trackers.
@gt0163c Ohhh, got it.
Yes, I hope it’s not just Trakrs either!
I got one too!
/giphy unnatural-sweaty-earthworm
Luh you, Meh!
I thought it’d be a coupon code, interested to see what shows up.
“Post your photos as a reply to the relevant comment.
Everyone who plays along with us will get a small token of our appreciation.”
So, I’m assuming we’re getting a small token… like the toothbrush tokens???
Whatever it is, I’m excited about it!!!
/giphy tart-oblong-eye
@GenWithaG123 So will be be emulating Scrooge McDuck with toothbrush tokens or TrackR pixels? Or both?
/giphy thermal-warm-feeling
Certainly curious…
Thanks Meh!
Hopefully it’s not a cake with all the Meh’s staff fingers in it!!!
@GenWithaG123 I feel like we missed a golden opportunity…
@GenWithaG123 @Thumperchick to stick fingers into cakes or chop off all your coworkers’ fingers?
@GenWithaG123 @Thumperchick Then they would have to source fake fingers or replace all the Meh staff.
@GenWithaG123 @mikibell yes?
@Thumperchick @yakkoTDI I’m sure @koolhandjoe has some fingers to spare…
@mikibell @Thumperchick I mean, Strong Bad doesn’t have fingers and he’s totally AWESOME!!! Strong Bad Email #63 - Fingers
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@GenWithaG123 @Thumperchick smh… HR!!!
@GenWithaG123 @mikibell @Thumperchick
Memories of the deals.woot cake jar are haunting me now.
@mikibell @narfcake @Thumperchick I mean, your username is literally narfcake, so I’m assuming all cakes are slightly haunting?

Wow! More birthday goodies are on the way? What a happy (so far) surprise. Thanks, Meh!
I’m sure whatever it is, it’ll be worth every penny!
I don’t even remember being able to participate in the festivities; thought at first we’d been hacked

@btwonder @metaphore @ybmuG or maybe Meh dice like in yesterdays face???
@btwonder @metaphore @tinamarie1974
Maybe a pet toy since we had to post photos of our pets wearing birthday hats?
Huh - already shipped, and NOT via FedEx! “UPS Mail Innovations,” which is a new one to me.
@Kyeh It’s the UPS version of FedEx SmartPost, so the cheapest/slowest possible shipping.
@blaineg @Kyeh Yep. I’m on the FW side of DFW. Normally I get the shipping notification and my very fine box arrives the next day. With this one, I got the shipping notification late last night (Friday). Estimated delivery is Wednesday. I’m guessing my cats will be disappointed in the lack of a box of any kind.
Just shipped, and same as above; .055 lbs & UPS Mail Innovations.
Hmm… stickers? Certificate?
@psbales That’s what I’m thinking. Maybe some sort of “Happy Birthday to Meh!” sticker. Or an IRK sticker. 0.0550 lbs is under an ounce. So first-class postage would have sufficed, but bulk rate is how Meh would have shipped it.
Because nothing says “taxpayer funded corporate
subsidyhandoutsocialism” like bulk rate discounts only businesses can get. Go Murica!Mine is 0.0500 LBS. Seems like a envelope and a stamp might have been cheaper?
Mine is 0.1850 lbs. just shipped
@gemi27ss Ooh. Maybe you got a Trackr tile bonus!
@mike808 most likely
Mine is on its way also-maybe with my 75th birthday fast approaching it will be something worthwhile. Nah-probably SOS.
@Felton10 When is your birthday?
@Kyeh October 16-I was born on the same day as Suzzane Sommers.

@Felton10 @Kyeh Same day as me. And hush, it is NOT “fast approaching”. Because this stupid hot weather is going to last forever, it seems. Birthday day means it’s almost over for this year.
@Felton10 @Kyeh I share a birthday with the used to be on the same day every year Christopher Columbus day.
@Kyeh
Small, moderate and enjoyable sounds great to me! I was never one to like a big party, not for MY birthday anyway!
@Lynnerizer Yeah, I actually find big parties kind of exhausting. Lunch or dinner with a small group is more my speed!
@Kyeh @Lynnerizer I come from a really big family so any get together with less than 50 or 60 people seems tiny and I don’t know what to do with myself.
@Felton10 @Kyeh my deceased grandma and deceased uncle both have/had Oct 16 birthdays and they were pretty awesome people.

@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 Wow! Well, I bet it’s fun - but also kind of exhausting?

You can always whisper to someone who asks for a spoiler.
@GenWithaG123 @mike808 @rinrinrin @Sneakertree I want to know!

Got mine! Super cool, thanks Meh!
@Ignorant well what is it-mine arrives tomorrow?!@%
@Felton10 @Ignorant if you check one of the links…
@Ignorant @tinamarie1974 I did after I posted the ?-is it a magnet?
@Felton10 @Ignorant @tinamarie1974 Nope. Next guess?
@Felton10 @Ignorant @tinamarie1974
If you are mildly handy it could be (mine hasn’t come yet but I cheated and looked)
Got mine today. Super sweet! Thanks Meh!
I am a bit IRK’ed about it.
I’m so excited that you all seem to like it so far!
@Thumperchick We LOVE it! Was it your idea?
@Trillian all of the birthday stuff was a team effort. I’m not sure who had which idea at this point. I just know I’ve been super excited about these for weeks.
@Thumperchick PHENOMENAL!!! Makes me not as sad that I never received any Meh stickers.
@Thumperchick the surprise - thank you to all the crew who put the day together
I have a few guesses but don’t want to call out a few and miss someone
@Thumperchick you guys did a great job!
Well what does this look like to you?

How long does sorting take?
We it is Floriduh and Ron DeDumbass is Governor.
@Felton10
Why did they mount the tracking scanner on the incline?
Just received mine - I L❤E it!!
Thank you, Meh! Way more than I expected to get for playing along with the birthday shenanigans!
Got mine too - since it came 3 days before my birthday, I’ll consider it a BD present and I plan to have it when I go to lunch tomorrow! (Not saying how I’ll have it so I don’t give anything away to those who still haven’t got theirs.) THANK YOU Meh - it’s terrific and I love it!
Thanks Meh! So cute! Love it!
Got mine, thanks, Meh!
I got mine 2 days before my birthday! (i’m a few years older than Meh though )
Happy birthday to you, and Happy birthday to me!

@rinrinrin You got a card, too?
@Kyeh Yes, but from my mother-in-law, not from meh
@rinrinrin Oh! I see!
So happy early birthday - yours is the day before mine!
@Kyeh Happy early birthday to you too!!
@rinrinrin Thanks!
Got mine! Thanks Meh, I love it
Mine arrived today. It was slightly damaged, but I managed to get it back in working order. It is too cute. Thanks, Meh!
Yay! Thanks, Meh.
Thanks Meh! Love it!
Thanks Meh! I got mine today, I love it!
I feel like it could become the next Flat Stanley. People will be posting pics of it all over the world - or at least at the local Walmarts, or something.
@ybmuG
Oh, drat - I forgot to take it to lunch and show it off!
@ybmuG this is a great idea!!!
@tinamarie1974 Once we know everyone has theirs so there are no spoilers, we should start a new thread… ____ with Irk
@ybmuG Agree, oh the places he will go!!
@ybmuG I love this idea.
@Thumperchick So, can I start? Can I? Can I?
Ok, I’ll post the original with the question mark as the photo so no one sees it if they don’t want to…
All right, I’m doing this.
Got it!! Sweet and thanks again
The post office has something against my surprise. It’s been pending acceptance since Tuesday, I wonder what it is they find unacceptable.
Mine is still waiting for acceptance at the local post office since the 17th.
@RogerWilco you do know who to blame, right?!?! Hope it gets unstuck
@tinamarie1974
@RogerWilco aawwww
This makes sad as I did not get one. I’m going to go pout in the corner now. I am however happy you all got one.
@smjnga That’s okay, I still haven’t been told how most everyone else even got one. Maybe it was “invitation only” and someone at Meh knows me???
@CBL_WV @smjnga
I suspect getting one has something to do with user forum participation over the anniversary period.
But that’s only a guess.
@CBL_WV @f00l @smjnga
Correct. There was a scavenger hunt to post a picture of various birthday-themed subjects. Like cake, candles, party hats, etc.
This was a small token of celebration by Meh to the participants of the fun and games. And there is a thread of the further adventures of birthday irks.
/giphy traveling irk
@CBL_WV @f00l @mike808 @smjnga I received a 7th birthday surprise, but I did not join in the scavenger hunt. I did download the Irk birthday hat (and posted a comment about it).
