@snapster I want to blame the communists. I want to blame the terrorists. I want to blame Microsoft. BUT, we all know the real troublemaker! Damn it @cengland0!!!!! What the hell did you do?
@snapster if you're using anything Microsoft then it's your own Fault ;) (note this is posted from a Microsoft Desktop that I usually have a fit with at least once a day)
I searched every other meh reference on the web. Mostly sports reporting and t-shirts, a few unfortunate part numbers, and several sources trying to define it.
So, what is the Clash of Clans thing? I read through the discussion, but couldn't get a good sense of why I would want to do it other than off-site meh bonding. Wait, is that enough of a reason?
@shawn The Bacon Pancakes remix is already a mashup. Creating a mashup of a mashup could create a quantum singularity and make the universe fold in upon itself... or possibly create an entirely new universe. One with bacon and a whole lotta' smoke. This could have the effect of making the bacon even more flavourful.
FWIW, in response to the anti-Azure comments: I personally loathe all things Microsoft. Loathe. However, Azure really ain't that bad as far as these things go. They could certainly do worse.
I find it highly suspicious that both MS Azure and IBM Emptoris had widespread problems in the same day. What is the software up to that it's not telling us? In league across company lines, too. Y2K was just a ruse to make us complacent all those years ago. Stock your bunkers, people!
@mehjohnson I'm just grateful for my recent Clash of Clans training. When society breaks down, I know how to upgrade my defenses and send forth my wizards.
I must have checked before this went down because I saw a knife, a video, a poor chicken timer, commented on the poll and went to bed right after midnight

@snapster Good thing you guys already sold out.
@studerc Dear lord. I had no idea they used Microsoft Azure. Now I expect more trouble coming soon.
I love purple.
@snapster well, at least the deal sold out
Microsoft forgot to feed the hamsters that power the internet.
Personally I started into Meh Withdraw, I'm still a little Shaky
Woohoo, you're back. Glad to see you weren't selling special fukus and we all missed them.

Hey, but I was able to check in to COC to find out we are at war!

@mossygreen Well, presumably it has clans, and clashing. I assume it's a game where you pick out attractive kilt colours for Scottish people.
@Starblind Well that sounds quite appealing!
Whenever the site goes down like that, I get a combo of Something Went Terribly Wrong and Makin' Pancakes Remix stuck in my head on a loop.
@Thumperchick we need a mashup!

@Starblind
@Starblind Makin Bacon Remix, featuring Irk. Crisis averted.
@Thumperchick Makin Bacon Remix, featuring Irk in the style of Kevin Bacon.
@caffeine_dude Makin Bacon Pancakes, getting Footloose, when something went terribly wrong?
I miss the good old days when you admit nothing and deny everything.
@Stumpy91 ... Sorry, sgt. Shultz is no longer in the stalag..

@bluedyn Buy your knives now! We've seen how society can begin to break down when the mobs can't quickly access websites to buy cheap stuff!

@bluedyn Lo, hath they emerged from the bowels of meh, to battle through the apocalyptic fields of SmartPost, and retire to the hovels of yore.
I think you guys might be overlooking the obvious. Maybe, just maybe, Azure didn't break Meh. Maybe Meh broke Azure.
@phatmass shush, microsoft hasn't caught on yet

@chellemonkey This was during the day yesterday, actually.
@harrison I've really been doing great at posting on the internet this week. You know, if my goal was to look like a doofus I just can't be beat!
@chellemonkey considering the state of the servers this past week, I think I can forgive the confusion
