Complete with a $38 IRK that you have to spend at least $30 more on the Mehrathon in order to get $30 off… So still $8 after discount and $30 purchase of other things.
Its not as fun as it used to be. I used to be checking like crazy fingers crossed I would get an irk now, ill check for a bit and then twenty minutes before the end.
@shadowgaurd Yeah in the old days, especially those starting with “W,” it was a day-long night-long sometimes two-day-long event. Even had the little yellow rotating USB lights on my desk I would turn on for the occasion!
Also note this one is MUST BUY $30 or more. Previous ones were spend what you want, and we will credit you the amount you spent, up to $30. So unless they unintentionally change the wording, I think the rules are different for this one.
@Kyeh@tinamarie1974 Many late grade school kids are fascinated by body noises, farts, etc. I used to teach (as a motivator) the kids at 5th grade school camp I co-ran how to make a fart noise with their armpit. I am sure their parent(s) and teacher loved me.

@pmarin i used to set my alarm so that when there was 30 seconds left it would go off so i had time to get back on and refresh my browser… good times.
Kinda sad actually. The only happy is coming from the ink room now.

@heartny @pmarin same
Huh, they’re teasing “fart spray” in the email, for those who are into such things.
@Kyeh
@Kyeh
Well they aren’t too far off, these days the mehrathons DO give off poo vibes! No fart spray needed!
Sure do miss all the anxiety and excitement of the old mehrathons!
@IndifferentDude @Kyeh
We need that Granny posting on Meh!
(Especially during Mehrathons.)
@Kyeh Well they just the sold fart spray so there was truth in advertising.
@Kidsandliz
I was sure they would.
@Kyeh I picked some up! Pretty sure my 11 y/o niece will LOVE it!!!
@tinamarie1974 Euwww. From comments made the last time they sold it, you’d better make her swear to never use it at your house!

@Kidsandliz @Kyeh Daisy is quite fascinated and @kyeh thanks for the warning. Sounds like an outside prank
The quality of junk offered this around is especially mehrific.
@show_the_maw and yet I find myself $7 shy of an $8 irk and $68 worth of sadness and useless junk
@MsELizardBeth @show_the_maw that’s too much math to figure out on Friday afternoon.
@MsELizardBeth @show_the_maw Might I recommend some random t-shirts?
@MsELizardBeth @show_the_maw
Yeah, shirts, or those magnetic latches - those are useful.
New to this — I spent $30+, so if I buy the IRK I will get a $30 credit for future purchases, or a $30 refund to my card?
@randallpahl refund but it will take a while.
@Kidsandliz thx!
I assume this is a one day Mehrathon.
And I’m on vacation
At least I got to the mehathon before the irks ran out! Now to buy $30 for something I actually need.
@Star2236 good luck.
That was underwhelming.
Then again, I didn’t spend anything, so that’s a win.
@blaineg You mean you already had all that wonderful merchandise?
