BIRTHDAY GAME: Selfies, Selfies, Selfies!
15Whether we like to admit it or not, most of us have taken a selfie or twelve.
Some of us may even be good enough at taking them to teach a class. Camera angle, lighting and filter selection are all key…… but not today.
The only thing we want to see today are your A-meh-zing faces…sort of….
There is a catch, we want a selfie of you and another Meh user in your area.
Find another Meh user in your area and get a selfie with them. Bonus points is they are a stranger. Extra bonus points if you don’t get murdered. But seriously. Don’t murder Meh users.
Super Extra Bonus points if ya’lls selfies also contain Irk Cosplay, Meh tattoos and birthday cakes and no murder.

dammit. @KittySprinkles - we should have waited a couple years. we could have gotten free shit from our first breakfast meet up.
posted for posterity:
@carl669 mother fuck
@carl669 @KittySprinkles
I think that counts.
@carl669 @f00l I think we’re adorable as fuck
@carl669 @KittySprinkles Goddammit, I want waffles too!
@f00l @KittySprinkles obscenely adorable.
@carl669 @mfladd
@carl669 @KittySprinkles Why no. Silly question.
@carl669 @mfladd I know why. Well, one of the many reasons.
@carl669 @KittySprinkles @mfladd
I go through this at least once a year. I consider myself fortunate, as having friends sounds painful (psychologically).
@carl669 @KittySprinkles
@carl669 @mfladd every touch from you is a bad one
@carl669 @KittySprinkles
@cardiganb @carl669 aaaaand address updated
I found my only meh friend in Lowes. And I still am rocking my meh tattoo from earlier.
@tnhillbillygal
@cardiganb My friend and I thank you! Actually, she said Wooooo! Yeehaw!!! She’s crazy.
/giphy the voices in my head
I got to meet @seeds! Here we are at Costco. We even greeted each other with the Octopus handshake!
You mean i got to meet @looseneck!
@looseneck wow @seeds without his face covered up!
@moonhat I’m sure the goat is sorry we didn’t warn you
@looseneck
@seeds
@cardiganb @seeds Thank you!
Ok @cardiganb -Here we are two meh’ers playing it cool, in the same city and all
One of us has been a meh’er for awhile and one of us joined up a several months ago. Meh the 4th (meh birthday celebration) always be with you!
So here we are in our meh shirts with a meh birthday cake, a meh tattoo (this one, albeit, on the back of the hand) and the knife ( not murdering anyone) since we won’t murder anything anyways , just menacing the meh “birthday cake”.
@AttyVette Love it!
@AttyVette @insuranceman
@cardiganb woo hoo —we are honored and blessed to receive these Fukos!! Thanks again for your kindness !!
I’m a bit late to the party but here are me (left, in the Irk shirt) and oregonpixie. We aren’t strangers, but we are fairly strange, so there is that.
As an added bonus, here’s a gif version of the short video my phone recorded when we took the selfie. I am so gosh darn it pretty.
@peaceetc @oregonpixie
@cardiganb Wow, thank you so much!
And another with my ugly face and 3 cute 2 week old kittens.
@bady are you “kitten” me? Cute picture !
I finally got to Tennessee to see @capguncowboy
Did i make it in time!?
@meanjene wow…you two have your irk faces on!
@meanjene ughhhh! Look away, I’m hideous!
@capguncowboy oh, hush, I don’t have any lips and you don’t see me whining about it.
@meanjene @capguncowboy
Deal. Can you give me a list of some Meh members near me? K, thanks.
But here is me and Meh user @sprockett boarding a plane coming home from Anchorage, Alaska early this AM.
@capguncowboy on the road again!
@capguncowboy@sprockett
@capguncowboy @cardiganb he tagged me wrong it’s sprockett01
@cardiganb Be sure to get that as @sprockett01 – I didn’t realize he had the 01 on the end of his username! I just call him Crockett!
@capguncowboy @sprockett01 I’ll get it updated
@cardiganb @sprockett01 thank you!
@capguncowboy @cardiganb thanks
Me and @wootstalkerbot making silly faces. That guy is a hoot!
Okay, this is sorta cheating. Howwwweever, since she was also starring in a meh video with me, pretty sure I’ll count it personally. Anyway it also includes our meh cake and my purple sharpie meh tattoo.
@vinuash I love purple.
Since @christinewas lives in another state the chances of us taking a selfie any time soon are pretty slim. This is from a trip we took just over 4 years ago so it’s almost like a Meh birthday picture, right?
@stardate820926 @christinewas
@cardiganb
My Daughter @aady and myself. Such a lovely young lady.
@bady @aady
@aady @cardiganb Thank you! My daughter cannot wait to see how unlucky the last one can be.
Me and @Wondermeh (I’m late to this one.) That’s me with the sunglasses on my face.
The illusive @LisaViolet! Who’s photo bombing you?
@capguncowboy @Wondermeh’s husband. He does that a lot. That’s my husband behind us.
@cardiganb
For both of us? Yay! (It’s @wondermeh’s birthday friday, but she’s a little older than meh.)
@lisaviolet @Wondermeh so she is like 12??? all of these youngins…
@lisaviolet @Wondermeh yup both of ya
@cardiganb @Wondermeh
@cardiganb @lisaviolet WOW!!! Thanks!! And yes, I’ll be 13 on Friday.
Do I get points for most obnoxious selfie?!
I suppose Zoya isn’t a stranger but she’s getting older and I feel like I barely know her anymore!
@Panegyric
Honestly. I bet you could have made that even more obnoxious.
But yes. Serious points.
/giphy obnoxious points
@f00l Well… I tried to find a happy medium in case my points ended up getting deducted… and you know… gotta keep it mediocre!
@f00l @Panegyric Ro is so easy on the eyes
@Panegyric
Seeing everyone in the reals is freaking me out!!!
It’s shattering my preconceived mental pictures and it’s freaking me out!
@mfladd
@PlacidPenguin Now I am really freaked out! Is that a Penguin eye???
@mfladd
No, but this is:
@mfladd @PlacidPenguin Yikes!
Since I haven’t found anyone on my area to take s selfie with, here I am with two of my cats (Jet is on the back of the couch above my head) and Moonlight is trying to eat my soup lol!
@savvysapphire facetime would work. Whisper someone and see if they’d go for it.
@savvysapphire Cuties! Planning a party for Friday the 13th?
@speediedelivery thank you! They are indeed cuties. It’s why let them stick around! That and they can be super cuddly. It’s nice to have something that actually loves me! Lol. No parties for Friday the 13th sadly…
Here is @savvysapphire and I in the closest thing we could get to a selfie.
@mehbee OMG! It’s mehbee in the flesh!
@mfladd that it is! And where is yours?
@mehbee Love the way it came out! Thanks Mehbee!!!
@savvysapphire thanks for participating with me!
@mehbee No, no, no…I already have pics that get thrown around here indiscriminately (by some people)!
@mfladd shhhhhhhhh
Why you so shy @mfladd??
@mfladd @RiotDemon Yeah, why are you so shy? We’re all family here. I’m extremely shy and normally the one behind the camera but fit the Meh family, I toughed it out. Plus I had a great selfie partner with @savvysapphire
@mehbee awww, I feel special now!
@RiotDemon Why, I don’t see your pic yet, young lady
@mfladd
Phew. I was afraid you were including me.
@PlacidPenguin …AND PENGUINS!
@mfladd
Phew. I don’t like being excluded from these things.
@PlacidPenguin flip/flop much?
@mfladd
Shame you can’t take a selfie with @f00l next week in order to partake in this birthday game.
@mfladd @RiotDemon has posted her beautiful wedding dress… Not a selfie with another meher…but stunning none the less!
(Too sleepy to locate it right now!)
@mfladd @mikibell @RiotDemon
Here it is, it was over here:
@PlacidPenguin Where has @f00l been? I find this place missing something when she isn’t around to interject shit and create long 4 page historical posts
@mfladd
If I had to guess, I’d say that @f00l was preparing to escape Texas for a few days next week.
@f00l @PlacidPenguin Hahahaha, I shouldn’t have tipped her off. But I do like it when they run. It adds some excitement to the hunt.
@f00l @mfladd
It’s Texas though, so soon the hunter may become the hunted.
@mikibell @PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon
Beautiful!
But I picture her in something like this…
A Dark Wedding
@mfladd @RiotDemon a few years ago, I would have worn that…very pretty…
@mfladd @mikibell @PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon Wow, that is gorgeous!
@mfladd haha, times were different then. I think his family would of shunned me if I wore anything but white. Your lacy gown is a bit too small for me.
In that post I actually talked about regretting not to be able to wear that beautiful dress again. I also mentioned that if I got married again, I’d probably go nontraditional with something like this:
@RiotDemon Nice. The hot evil queen look!
@mehbee @savvysapphire
@cardiganb Wow. Longest birthday party ever.
@cardiganb @savvysapphire That’s awesome. Today’s my birthday so I feel like I got a gift from Meh!! Thanks, Savvy for participating with me!
@mehbee - Happy birthday! Tip: check today’s Google doodle.
@kdemo With Kurt Masur?
@mehbee - Damn.
My birthday was last Friday. I inadvertently ended up on the Google search page, and the doodle was birthday candles. When I hovered over it, it said “Happy birthday demo”.
I thought it might happen for you too.
Now I feel special. And a little creeped out. I almost always enter a fake date on forms that ask for my bday, so it is pretty weird.
I almost made a new topic about it, but I didn’t want to keep harping about my birthday.
@kdemo I’m on my phone. I’ll try on my tablet or laptop if I get a chance before midnight. Not I think Google might think I’m special or anything, it’s more likely to mock me!
@kdemo and happy belated birthday
@kdemo It did it!! I wasn’t signed in, signed in and wa la candles. Very cool, thank you.
@mehbee - lol. Thanks!
I was on desktop, maybe that made a difference? Perhaps I was being mocked, now that you mention it.
I imaged it for your birthday enjoyment:
@mehbee - Aha! Glad it wasn’t just me.
You’re very welcome.
@kdemo But you’re still very special!
@mehbee
Here’s me with my homie @snapster.
@f00l lol your pictures are funny —
well played well played
@f00l
@cardiganb @f00l Congrats!!
… what about ‘light’ murder?
@Targaryen a little light murder never hurt anyone.
@Ignorant @Targaryen
https://www.npr.org/2018/03/23/596356956/romanian-man-isnt-dead-but-court-says-he-is
@Targaryen (“watt” )light murder — you are (killing )me here folks
This is the most unfair of all the challenges, eh?
Hmmm…I could take a pic with my mommy. She joined in 2013 and has ordered like 18 things…
@medz I think that would be ok as it just said other Meh’er ( I am guessing it counts as long as a person didn’t just now sign up on meh-).
@Seeds
You haven’t moved, right?
@PlacidPenguin So lame, who does that?
@lichme @PlacidPenguin I’m judging you both.
@Thumperchick is all powerful.
@lichme
Who indeed?
@lichme @Thumperchick
Have a lousy mediocre gif:
@PlacidPenguin I’m in. Where you wana meet? I’m working in [whispered] and living in [whispered], don’t mind driving a bit.
@PlacidPenguin @Seeds Shame I’m not just a little bit closer. We could have a tri-selfie!
@cinoclav you might even get this box of stuff I’ve supposedly been gathering for you
I believe @Ignorant lives about 30 miles away from me. This being SoCal, though, it’ll take like a few hours for either of us to get anywhere. So yeah, notgonnahappen.
@narfcake
If you have traffic getting to your car, then you may have bigger issues.
@narfcake Hey! I’m in SoCal on a business trip! Maybe we are (relatively) close by each other
Someone should post about this over on casemates.com. Those people seem to like meet-ups. I would, but I don’t know the protocol for new forum posts over there.
@medz There is a link for gatherings. Click on it and scroll through to find a posting near you. You can whisper there or ping here. They like to meet to drink wine so I am thinking you could bribe them. Bring a bottle and everyone is happy.
calling all 'mehricans in IL… specifically the aurora, naperville, oswego areas. wanna meet up? i promise i won’t murder you.
@carl669 I notice you didn’t promise not to give them the finger or say fuck you… just sayin’
@Kidsandliz well… I wouldn’t want to take away all the fun now, would I?
@carl669 Those are some of my old stomping grounds - but now based in TX.
/giphy stompin time
A few of my recent selfies:

@f00l
@f00l Is this a multiple choice test - which is the real @f00l?
@Kidsandliz
All and none.
@f00l Those are just a few of your alter egos
@f00l Well, aren’t we versatile!
@f00l That must have been one hell of a Halloween party!
@f00l
Forgot that the contest wants selfies of two “Meh” individuals in the same pix. Me and my pals.
Sure. I’ll fix that. Here ya go.
/image rolling Stones live
@f00l - Did anyone ever tell you you look just like -
nvm.
@f00l
This reminds me of a punny bad joke my dad made up
Multiple choice question:
What do you call a nun who has died and gone to heaven?
…
…
…
…
e) None of the above.
@Kidsandliz
OK I like that one.
I can tell it to kids and they will torment their parents. Good stuff.
@f00l That one my dad made up. Every morning he’d wake up with around 10 jokes he had to tell us that he made up. Maybe 1/10 were any good. We told him if he’d write down just the good ones he’d have a book of jokes by the end of the year - it would have been a long running series. Unfortunately that never happened and we recall very few of them.
Can I take one with my hubby? While not technically a stranger he is a bit strange.
@JanaS if he is a meh member, that should qualify …just said another meher in your area.
So I got my roomie into Meh via casemates, I’ll take a pic with @cdoyle tomorrow. Cause he’s had all sorts of shit going on, and would strongly appreciate randomness his dog (Deidre) a Lhaso Apso terrier mix small dog]1 would love. (She’s allergic to chicken, and adores pig ears cause she can demolish an ear her size in an hour)
I think the problem of finding other mehers in each of our respective Meh’ers areas is because no one wants to ADMIT they are Meh’ers!
@AttyVette or no one wants to admit exactly where they are. I know there’s some people within a few hours of me, but that’s all I know.
Hudson Valley NY I will travel
@candiedisilvio1 hey. I’m in Poughkeepsie and work in Poughquag
Does it count if I get one of my friends to sign up for a meh account?
of all the family pics i have, i’m pretty sure there are none of me and kid-in-law
1, which is unfortunate, since he’s the one who told me about this site
Ok Greater Boston Area Meh-ers! who wants to selfie!???
ok… I see you all liking this… does that mean you’re in the area? Cause I will drive to you. I don’t know what we win from this but PRIDE and GLORY are enough for me to go at least 3-4 miles
I can’t believe no one from the Bay Area asked… there has to be a million of us right? Is everyone waiting for someone else to ask?
@nightLotus pretty sure you’re not talking about Tampa since there’s only one?
Uhh. You want me to try and find another meh-er in my area? That’s implying I’m social enough to do so! But… since I have no intentions of taking a train to Manhattan where I’m sure I could dig up another meh user…yeah. Anyone in Dutchess County or mehbe Ulster county want to say hi and take a meh selfie? I promise the only thing I murder is bugs… so as long as you’re not a bug, I won’t murder you lol!!
Anyone in Northern Utah?
@thardesty uh oh, how far north?
@luvche21 I work downtown and live in Layton … so that area
@luvche21 @thardesty I live in Utah county. I usually work in south valley area, but have to be in the provo area for work for the next month.
P.S. my work is mobile, so I could drive wherever in Utah county if someone wants to go for it.
I think there may be other Mehmbers close by
can’t play this game. Don’t know anyone near enough by. Not driving to another state.
@Kidsandliz hey maybe we can FaceTime and snap a long distance picture of us both and submit it
@AttyVette You’d have to take the shot as I don’t have a camera with me outside of my phone and if we are on it then I can’t take a photo of me and you on the phone…
@Kidsandliz sent you email message a few minutes ago…
Hmmmmmmm…I took a selfie in 2009 so an online friend would know who to pick up from the airport (I swear I didn’t murder him) and I took a selfie in 2011 for my girlfriend at the time that I don’t think I am allowed to post here. I might have taken one or two others but I can’t remember. Looking in the mirror in the morning is more than my eyes can take most days. I don’t need a selfie to reminded me.
What do you mean, parts don’t count?
How about rural northeastern Oregon?
Anyone in Everett wa? Or near KC Courthouse or pioneer square during the workday?
No F-en way! @mikibell taught me the lesson to never put my photo here. The internet is forevah!
@mfladd but you are beautiful!! Not MY fault!
@mfladd yeah I thought about it but posted picture anyways…old enough to know better, stupid enough to do it despite that fact. So now y’all can see me forever ( sigh—I’m sorry about that part)
@mikibell
@mfladd @mikibell
@mfladd @mikibell @PlacidPenguin you can’t even see his face!
@RiotDemon seriously, with all the other parts to admire, you want to see his face???
(did I just objectify @mfladd??)
@mfladd @mikibell I think you did.
@mikibell @RiotDemon
I think I am even 15 lbs lighter now than in those pics.
@PlacidPenguin Grrrrrrrrrr…
@mfladd @RiotDemon if you google him, he has a beautiful, intelligent, kind looking face.
@mikibell @RiotDemon WTF!!!
I think I know where you are getting that from. Ugh…that needs to be updated.
@mfladd @RiotDemon
We would LOVE and updated photo (showing your face!!)
@mfladd @mikibell I have no idea. I try not to stalk people too much, lol
Now I’m curious… But lazy.
@mfladd @mikibell @RiotDemon
I almost posted the other picture, but I laughed every time I looked at it.
@PlacidPenguin ???
@RiotDemon
The one of @mfladd and Chuka.
@mfladd @PlacidPenguin no idea what that is.
@mfladd @RiotDemon
The name of the Siberian husky which @mfladd had growing up, and which he first mentioned here.
@mfladd @mikibell @RiotDemon yes, quite nicely!
Oh wait. It says" in the same area". @cardiganb does “same area” count as same universe via wifi and face time or internet? Cuz two of us have a plan (especially since there is no one else on meh from the “same physical location on the planet” as me) that involves the 2 of us being in roughly the same area of the milky way.
@Kidsandliz
I say give it a whirl and let the selfie gods decide…
@cardiganb OK here it is…
Unofficial meher Goat Cat takes first selfie with two other official mehers
Remember Goat Cat?
As two mehers (@kidsandliz and @AttyVette) who have never met, we were plotting how to give our selfie entry a whirl and Goat Cat poked her nose into our business (no doubt to oogle the celebrity IRK - the heck the humans - to ask for a paw-oh-graph).
We both live in a galaxy not far, far away, in fact we live in the same galaxy - actually on the same planet, in the same country and thus, in this galactic scale, in the same area. And since we didn’t have a teletransporter (hey meh can you sell them?), we had to use the primitive technology of planet earth and took our selfie while on facetime together.
Bonus point check list:
We are strangers, @AttyVette has a meh tattoo on her hand (seen in earlier selfie she posted with her husband), no murder took place… and no IRK likenesses nor Goat Cat were harmed in making this selfie.
@AttyVette @cardiganb @Kidsandliz
Why no murder?
You people sure aren’t fun are you?
@cardiganb @f00l @Kidsandliz awww if that’s your idea of fun then you’re right
@AttyVette @cardiganb @f00l I have not bought any meh knives so nothing to murder with. And that is a cat in the photo who only thinks she is a
mountain liongoat so she is no use for that either. Also, while there are definitely occasions I’d like to do this, I have not yet figured out how to reach through the airwaves (wifi, internet, phone…) to do things like, send skunk odors, throw things, throttle customer service reps being asshats…@cardiganb thanks a million !!! Love meh and it’s staff / y’all are the best! @Kidsandliz can’t wait until we get our Fuko surprises
@AttyVette @cardiganb What? We got one? Cool. THANKS!
Hey! THERE you are!! LOL
Anyone in lower Manhattan tomorrow?
Anybody in the Atlanta, Ga. area?
@mehbee my brother is in Newnan but i don’t know his username right offhand
@mehbee I’m in Atlanta, Tucker actually. That said as I scroll up this thread it looks like a pretty weak idea. I meh at midnight and don’t think much about it at other time. definitely not the kind of thing to build a social meet-up kind of thing around. So what part of town are you in?
@kalfaz Yea, I guess I agree. Especially with Atlanta and it’s suburbs being so spread out. A lot of driving in ATL traffic for a selfie. I live in Williamson. It’s betw Peachtree City and Griffin.
@capguncowboy Oh, that’s not too bad a drive. I live in Williamson, past Senoia and Brooks but before Griffin.
@capguncowboy @mehbee Got several peeps in Newnan, they love it.
Anyone in northeast Pennsylvania?
@hems79 yes
@hems79 where about? I’m in NY but very close to the PA, NJ boarder around Milford, High Point area
@candiedisilvio1 @vinuash I’m near Wilkes-Barre, PA.
I’m 50/50 on if I actually want to do this.
Less than 50/50 on being murdered.
@candiedisilvio1 @hems79 I work in Wilkes barre. We both know it’s dangerous. We can always meet on the square and just let other strangers stab us.
…anyone from buffalo?
@LemonTheCat
Yes
@jksquared no way!!! Selfie?? How does one even go about this mission? (Meh-ssion?) Hmm. Open to suggestions
@LemonTheCat
I’ll be near the library until 3:00 if that is any help
If I have multiple personality disorder and multiple meh accounts, does just my photo count?
@mfladd I could send you our selfie, then you can add it to yours, you know kinda three-way selfie!! I kid.
@mfladd Only if you have never met your(other)self…
@Kidsandliz @mfladd would it be possible to then be “beside himself” if he were to meet himself? Just curious as Inquiring minds want to know —
@AttyVette @Kidsandliz @mfladd
@cardiganb so have you decided on the winner(s) yet?
So, not seeing a deadline…anyone in the Tampa (Bay area)
I looked at the county map to see if it was lit up today. No dice. I wonder if there’s only the one other meh person in my county. Seems unlikely.
@RiotDemon I actually was told there is a couple near me in Newnan, which is about 30-40 minutes from my place. I was pleasantly surprised.
@RiotDemon I think the closest person to me is @brhfl, and that is still almost 2.5 hrs away. It’s like living on the island of misfit toys here!
But the other night my county and area was lit up for some reason for the first time other than me…very bizzare.
@mfladd
/giphy the plot thickens
@RiotDemon I just discovered the whole county light up thing this week and now I see there is someone else in my county buying from meh. I need a meh shirt to wear around and see if I can find them.
