BIRTHDAY GAME: IRK COSPLAY CONTEST!

ChadP shared a link said Mon, Jul 9th 2018 at 11:01am ET

You’ve been training for this moment your whole life.

Everything has been in preparation of this moment.

All roads lead to here.

IT’S BIRTHDAY GAME TIME! Welcome to the first of multiple Meh Birthday games.

And we’re starting off strong.

THE IRK COSPLAY CONTEST!

The first game this week is an IRK COSPLAY CONTEST! Here’s how it works:

We want to see your best Irk cosplay! Dress up like Irk! The more accurate the better, but we do need you to, uhhhh, wear pants. Troll laws are different, ok? We’ll pick our favorites as the week goes on.

You’ll have until Friday to post photos you in your best Irk Cosplay, but we’ll be awarding prizes to daily winners, best of the day, and some surprise prizes each day as well. So don’t wait.

We can’t wait to see your Irk costumes.

  Why do you still have expectations (on Meh, and possibly elsewhere) after being a mehmber for 1461 days?

  you’d think it would help that my expectations are extremely low, but that seems to make reality even sadder.

  Isn’t that what kids are for?
  
  (I.E. For their parents to do odd activities for Mediocre in an attempt to win dismal prizes, and then those same parents can blame the mess on their kids.)

Please send me a birthday fukoburo so I can die laughing well hopefully not die…
