@nacheen I swore it would have been a Fuku also, but they just did one last week. Strange timing, but I guess you never know...I just can't see them whoring out the Fuku like that and putting out a 3rd one practically before people get the last one. Then again, they do seem to have the server power to do it now:) (THANKS @snapster)
@Saffer49 You are right! I didn't partake in the KickStarter one since I had no clue that was going down so in my head there have only been 2 (Technically on the Meh site in Woot Fashion), but that original Kickstarter one must get its props as #1.
Maybe the first ever mehrathon? Of course, if it's anything like old Woot offs which didn't move onto another item until the current item gets sold out, we're going to be in trouble after the first speaker dock is put up.
I'm pushing for a fukubukuro. Maybe the crazy folks here at Meh will inexplicably take my suggestion once again. (And don't deny it, you guys are all crazy. In a good way.)
@spacezorro I vote they bring their entire staff in at dinnertime thanksgiving day (but not actually have any good deals) Just like all the other stores this year.
Meh should place 1 item on sale in limited quantity (10, 100, 1000) at the start of each hour, and every minute of that hour the price will be dropped down by 1% (0.5-1.5%) from initial price until the end of the hour or until sold out. And no one should know how many items left until sold out.
If they wait until Black Friday, they will be late to the party. Online Black Friday deals started at the beginning of this week. The better question is what will meh have for sale on Turkey Day? A MRE Turkey Dinner could be an option.
@Stallion I do not want anything live!! As it is I have too many cats and apparently a lizard who lives in the ceiling light eating spiders I presume. Not sure how he isn't dead yet as he has been there the entire 2 weeks I have lived here AND… my cats are desperately wanting to eat him for lunch after playing with him. One, just a few minutes ago, launching herself towards the ceiling from the top of a cat tree, forgot to check for a safety net and so wounded her dignity by whacking her paws on the light cover, continuing the arch discovering that gravity still works, bouncing off the chair and then hitting the floor (no video sorry - no way to take videos). The last thing I need here is more live cat toys.
Here's my guess: they WILL do something, but it won't be anything expected or ordinary. I dunno what exactly, but something in the experimental, outside-the-box spirit of Meh. This is a chance to start a new tradition. They won't fuck it up.
Going forward Friday's (including the darkest of Fridays) should be Fuku'n Speaker Dock Friday. It's $10, and you'll get some type of speaker mailed to you. Roll the dice!
@DaveInSoCal Oh I like that idea! I'm up to my ass in speaker docks but am stupid enough to buy 3 more at $10 a whack just to see if I could get the ultimate, amazing, grandfather of all speaker docks.
@gertiestn Where do you live? I have 3 young ones that my neighbor left behind that are real sweethearts… and another singlet stray who is a cuddle bug… and then my 3 original cats (all of whom were strays, one I bottle fed from 10 days old) who are 13.5 (want to keep those fur babies)… Brings my total to 7 and I can't afford that.
And then there's Woot. I don't know if they planned it or not, but the hamsters at Woot stopped loading Woot pages at 1 a.m. Eastern, and now they've put up a Temporary Outage message. They'll be up again -- or, as they put it, back to normal -- in a few hours, they say. Took 'em an hour or so to put the message up. As you can probably tell, I have too much time on my hands tonight.
@gertiestn When the main Woot site crashes, you can usually get to deals.woot.com - from their header you can see what's selling on the other woot sites and whether or not it's a woot-off or crap, by hovering over the names of the individual sites.
If it's not a Fuku, then it is worthless. Either way, meh.
@nacheen I swore it would have been a Fuku also, but they just did one last week. Strange timing, but I guess you never know...I just can't see them whoring out the Fuku like that and putting out a 3rd one practically before people get the last one. Then again, they do seem to have the server power to do it now:) (THANKS @snapster)
@Stallion This most recent one was the 3rd one. So if they did another it would be the 4th.
@Saffer49 You are right! I didn't partake in the KickStarter one since I had no clue that was going down so in my head there have only been 2 (Technically on the Meh site in Woot Fashion), but that original Kickstarter one must get its props as #1.
@Saffer49 I predict the 4th one will be genuine Santa crap.
I think it will be three for Thriday on speaker dock reposts
Nothing they do on Black Friday would make sense other than selling this:
@phatmass Ice Chris and Cube Tucker? Who came up with those names.
Maybe the first ever mehrathon? Of course, if it's anything like old Woot offs which didn't move onto another item until the current item gets sold out, we're going to be in trouble after the first speaker dock is put up.
@narfcake They could all be speaker docks....
@narfcake Meh-Off! Meh-Off! Meh-Off!!!!!!!!!
It's speaker docks all the way down.
@narfcake an all speaker dock mehrathon that ends in a shocking fuku when everyone has given up...
@Stallion no... fuk-off fuk-off fuk-off
@Stallion I still like ambivalanche
@narfcake ONE PRODUCT, ONE DAY. PERIOD.
@Stallion Mehlee!!!
They haven't had tv's in a while...
@neuromancer I agree, a tv would be cool
@aradem ... I'll take a 32" and purple is of no concern.
I love purple.
I'm pushing for a fukubukuro. Maybe the crazy folks here at Meh will inexplicably take my suggestion once again.
(And don't deny it, you guys are all crazy. In a good way.)
I vote that they sell nothing and go home and spend the day with family.
Or black speaker docks.
@spacezorro I vote they bring their entire staff in at dinnertime thanksgiving day (but not actually have any good deals) Just like all the other stores this year.
@giroro booooo!
I'm voting for nothing I want because on principle I don't buy anything on Black Friday except maybe groceries or gasoline.
@SSteve Texaco Gift Cards!!!
@canadianblaken Texaco? Haven't seen one of those in 10+ years.....
More importantly, what is meh going to sell for "Small Business Saturday"?
@zacatac Irk mugs?
@chellemonkey now that would be cool
I propose Reverse heM Friday.
Meh should place 1 item on sale in limited quantity (10, 100, 1000) at the start of each hour, and every minute of that hour the price will be dropped down by 1% (0.5-1.5%) from initial price until the end of the hour or until sold out. And no one should know how many items left until sold out.
@wishod That is kinda brilliant.
If they wait until Black Friday, they will be late to the party. Online Black Friday deals started at the beginning of this week. The better question is what will meh have for sale on Turkey Day? A MRE Turkey Dinner could be an option.
@jimmyd103 or cyber Monday...
This is Meh. It's going to be just another day. Don't start getting everybody's hopes up, only to be disappointed at 05:00 UTC.
In theory, shouldn't they wait until Cyber Monday to do something special?
@jsh139 Why not do both! or Neither, lol. Every day is "Special" at Meh I guess
@Stallion when every day is special...none of them are. Muhahahahaha. >:)
Hey Meh! You've never done anything alive yet! Start putting Seamonkey eggs in the Fuku bags, people will love you for it!
@Stallion Beehives!
@Stallion I remember a certain bag of crap at woot around Christmas that was infested with some bugs. I thankfully missed that bag
@chellemonkey http://www.clickhole.com/article/90s-kids-rejoice-spider-eggs-they-used-fill-beanie-1209
@jqubed Xenomorph eggs

@Starblind At the very least we will all say "meh" and go about our day
24-pack of jarred turkey gravy.
@JerseyFrank Seems like that's more of those wine.woot specialty items.
perhaps a Tablet or a bunch of Speaker docks for $1
@stryper2000 This was my first thought as well. Maybe those 40 inch element tvs for $1, limit 2
I vote for the first Meh-rithon. Or maybe another Meh t-shirt. But I won't be surprised if it's just a speaker dock or some other random item.
For whatever it is, how will they simulate the mad zerg rush of the horde and the eventual police involvement?
@Mac454 You have to pick it up. In person. With no ID, and get there via wild yak.
Going forward Friday's (including the darkest of Fridays) should be Fuku'n Speaker Dock Friday. It's $10, and you'll get some type of speaker mailed to you. Roll the dice!
@DaveInSoCal Oh I like that idea! I'm up to my ass in speaker docks but am stupid enough to buy 3 more at $10 a whack just to see if I could get the ultimate, amazing, grandfather of all speaker docks.
I doubt they will do anything. They never did anything special for Black Friday back when they owned Woot.
@Brooklynny11218 Woot < Meh
@theco2 water is wet
Kitties. I want kitties.
@gertiestn
@gertiestn Where do you live? I have 3 young ones that my neighbor left behind that are real sweethearts… and another singlet stray who is a cuddle bug… and then my 3 original cats (all of whom were strays, one I bottle fed from 10 days old) who are 13.5 (want to keep those fur babies)… Brings my total to 7 and I can't afford that.
@Kidsandliz I live with all the other kitties in the colony of the District of Columbia.
@JonT I'm helpless before my monitor...
@gertiestn Sigh… too far for me to drive to bring you some
Maybe they'll do their first "Meh Off"?
I can see it now... 24 hours of Leak Frogs, Speaker Docks, and refurbished Roomba's.
@danoinct Don't forget cups and knives, those seem to be common up on the mix too.
So is this 12:01 a.m. on the 27th or 12:01 a.m. on the 28th?
@pooflady I was thinking Friday as in 12:00am EST the 28th, you know, actual Black Friday, but who knows.
Is Thanksgiving before Christmas this year?
@gertiestn apparently not, based on the lights neighbors put up today
I shooting for a meh-a-thon for black friday or at least cyber monday
Did you say Black Friday?
@Thumperchick EVERYBODIES RUSSIAN
@Thumperchick Heh. My gf knows this chick.
This being meh, I would think they would ignore black Friday and concentrate on cyber Monday.
Truth shall be told in about 30 minutes. Total happiness or pure disappoint, I'm ready either way!
@Stallion You expected happiness? Meh hasn't broken you yet. You're one tough cookie.
@Mac454 There is always wishful thinking, but again, this is MEH so my expectations truly were low......like...VERY LOW
And then there's Woot. I don't know if they planned it or not, but the hamsters at Woot stopped loading Woot pages at 1 a.m. Eastern, and now they've put up a Temporary Outage message. They'll be up again -- or, as they put it, back to normal -- in a few hours, they say. Took 'em an hour or so to put the message up. As you can probably tell, I have too much time on my hands tonight.
OK, it's a Woot-off. Don't everybody run over there at once.
@gertiestn When the main Woot site crashes, you can usually get to deals.woot.com - from their header you can see what's selling on the other woot sites and whether or not it's a woot-off or crap, by hovering over the names of the individual sites.
