That happened to me earlier this week as well. I clicked (but didn’t take a screenshot to prove it like you did) and later it shows up that I didn’t. In the past it was because they updated the website and apparently I was no longer logged in so it looked like I had clicked but it didn’t “stick” as I didn’t know the system had logged me out until the next day when I couldn’t post without logging back in.
@yakkoTDI And then flips to a timeout error, which you don’t see because you’ve swapped tabs while waiting, and been snared by a different squirrel oh wait I need to make a pit stop now where did I set down my mug of crap the cat barfed on the floor again and I need a fresh roll of paper towels how did that fly get in here…
Looks to me like you took this screenshot from a page you loaded today at 11/10/2024 10:00:43.603am ET. After the daily deal is over day we show the meh face regardless if you clicked it or not.
FWIW: We logged 47 page requests from the blaineg account yesterday and none of them were for a Meh button click.
In this case it doesn’t matter. Our policy is: if the account didn’t click the meh button but visited the site on that day we can grant a one-time exception and manually add a meh button click for you. Obviously one of our intentions with the meh button is to get you to visit the site every day and you clearly visited the site yesterday.
I’ve gone ahead and added that meh button click to your account.
@shawn When did that become a policy? Not sure if I would want that (for myself) or not. Sure I’d still have my streak but would I feel like I cheated? Hmmm. Too late anyway.
Last week one day my clicky face didn’t register but thankfully I noticed it when I came back and reclicked it. I also had to sign in so for some reason it threw me out, maybe Meh was updating, IDK?
I haven’t been able to make it passed 151 days anyway, 70 something is where I’m at today and that’s been the second longest. So funny because I have been here almost every day since I discovered you fun people! Bargains got me here but it’s the good people and the camaraderie that’s kept me coming back!
Oh yeah, and of course the IRKs! $5 or $50, I’m here for em’!
@Lynnerizer@OnionSoup I’m currently a bit over 300, and I will hit 365 on January 10th if I don’t brainfade on it while I’m in the hospital. I’m in my longest streak right now, so I’m really hoping I don’t screw that up, particularly since I’ve got a difference of exactly 1500 between my streak and my all-time total, and I’d like to keep it alive.
@OnionSoup@werehatrack
Maybe someone (who understands clicky face life) could remind you while you’re in the hospital…
And good luck with your upcoming procedure!
@OnionSoup
Ah ha, you get it! Maybe this we’ll beat our longest streak! I say that to myself every time I have to start over. I think I forgot to mention that it’s always been within a week after a Meh-rathon that I mess up. Watch me, I probably just jonahed myself and I’ll have my first random slip up that’s not after said Meh-rathon! 🫣
Murphy’s law is MY life! Lol
I gave up a long time ago. But then sometimes I just forget. So I’m not one of those people who would be worried if I missed a day. But I make sure to keep my most clicks in a row at 69. Because I’m 12.
Getting older => getting more forgetful. But i remember that i’m forgetful. So i try to arrive by 11:55 ET just to login if necessary and to check my Meh face clicks, just to be sure. My old Chromebook likes to crash my browser sessions, and so some things i thought got done, didn’t.
And one of these days when it gets to the top of my to-do list, i’ll attack my Chromebook with a screwdriver (or hammer, if that what it takes), and fix my keyboard so i can properly type a capital “i” again!
@Kyeh Never heard of Strickland Gillilan. Will read more of his. Guess the person with the best publicist gets the fame. But, including title, Nash’s was shorter by far. And his text was shorter by a character, a space. Don’t know how copyright would have applied to those situations.
Though i have no publicist (other than meh.com), assuming legality, guess i could get famous and take the brevity record with (down 2 from Nash) :
Toes
Adam
had’m
@phendrick Yeah, I’ve known it for years as “Fleas.” But I like the deliberate incongruity of the long serious-sounding title with the silly two-word rhyme.
All I found was ‘The Germ’, which didn’t seem all that short.
A mighty creature is the germ,
Though smaller than the pachyderm.
His customary dwelling place
Is deep within the human race.
His childish pride he often pleases
By giving people strange diseases.
Do you, my popet, feel infirm?
You probably contain a germ.
*Pound was commonly asked by other famous serious poets to help critique or edit their works before publication.
(He also got some trouble for his fascist connections)
@blaineg@f00l@Kyeh As to the billboard one. Nice! Don’t think i’d seen it before.
Reminds me of the old Burma Shave signs, which you might be old enough to remember and which i think the below poem is referring to:
Lather As You Go
Beneath this slab
John Brown is stowed.
He watched the ads
And not the road. Ogden Nash
@blaineg@f00l@Kyeh@phendrick we used to have one until last … Decade? Granted the Burma Shave ending slide.was replaced by another ad (bedding IIRC) ages ago.
@blaineg@f00l@Kyeh Then you are old enough to have been sentient (not to be confused with “senescent” – that might be more current) by 1963, per Wiklpedia:
“in 1963 the company was sold to Philip Morris. Its well-known advertising signs were removed at that time”
@blaineg@f00l@Kyeh@pakopako They were certainly fun to read. From an early age, i rode with my parents on yearly trips Texas to NY and back. Used to make sure i stayed awake daytime to watch for those signs. it was always a treat for me to start reading one i knew the rest of. Wonder how many kiddos had their reading level improved by those? By '63, we were still mainly travelling by non-interstate roads, mainly two-lane, so could actually read them while driving by.
I don’t remember seeing those along I35, but u do remember lots of them along the various state and federal highways that came with stop lights in the towns and cities.
That happened to me earlier this week as well. I clicked (but didn’t take a screenshot to prove it like you did) and later it shows up that I didn’t. In the past it was because they updated the website and apparently I was no longer logged in so it looked like I had clicked but it didn’t “stick” as I didn’t know the system had logged me out until the next day when I couldn’t post without logging back in.
Cheaters (Meh not you) never lose?
Though I haven’t seen it in a long time wait until you click one that just spins.

@callow I can still look at a day for you if you have one to investigate
Thanks for that @shawn but I think I’ll keep it honest.
Looks like it was Oct 21st and I did vote on the poll that day.
@shawn
That’s new isn’t it? I thought I remembered blanks on the daily pages if we failed to click.
Anyway, thanks for the freebie.
@blaineg Nope, not new
@shawn Ok, I guess I’m getting old and senile. Or something. Thanks for humoring a fool. (Not THE fool.)
That’s so strange; my streak ended yesterday too. @shawn, did the same thing happen to me, or was I especially forgetful yesterday?
@lisagd We have 0 requests to the site yesterday with your username
@shawn Yeah, I was just checking my email and saw that I didn’t open the one from yesterday. Thanks for checking.

@Lynnerizer I swear that’s how most of my streak fails happen.
Fortunately most days I’m here more than once… To torment people with my blundering in the forum.
I’ve never made a year… I always seem to trip up around 150 or so… Although once got to 250ish.

What’s the deal with the constant sign-ins these days?

@phendrick So you’re not just being like e.e.cummings on purpose, huh?
A terse reply:
to B brief
i didn’t C that cumming
and No
[Hadn’t thought of him in a long time. Or Ogden Nash; every read his poem “Measles”? Think that might be the shortest poem on record.]
@Kyeh Woops. Wrong title. Delete “Measles” and insert “Fleas”.
No wonder was hard for me to locate.
pdf download, p. 30
@phendrick Shorter than
“Lines on the Antiquity of Microbes”
by Strickland Gillilan?
Adam
Had 'em.
@phendrick Hah! I went looking for it too. Evidently Gilliam did it first.
@Kyeh Never heard of Strickland Gillilan. Will read more of his. Guess the person with the best publicist gets the fame. But, including title, Nash’s was shorter by far. And his text was shorter by a character, a space. Don’t know how copyright would have applied to those situations.

Nice collection of the signs’ content at https://thewhynot100.blogspot.com/2015/06/90-brilliant-burma-shave-signs.html
for the younger Mehtizens who were deprived of these. (You can probably mentally edit some of the typos there.)
@blaineg @Kyeh @pakopako @phendrick
I don’t remember seeing those along I35, but u do remember lots of them along the various state and federal highways that came with stop lights in the towns and cities.
They were very much fun.
(I’m not certain when I35 got finished).
Weird, my streak ended yesterday
. I must’ve just forgotten. Wish I could forget that Shit Happened a week ago. 
@llangley need Crayons and Legos?
Meh should have a sale on those; there’d probably be a large customer base.
Or try casemates.com?
@llangley @phendrick Spirograph, maybe?
