Casemates joins the Mediocre family?
14I see that the list of related forums/communities at the top left of the page now includes a link to the casemates forum.
How many people do y’all expect will get confused between that and Case-mate?

What the fuck is casemates.com, and why doesn’t it start with “M” like everything else?

@narfcake perfect!
@Ignorant
The better question is why does the list includes the .com?

@mflassy
/8ball ???
It is decidedly so
@f00l it’s an abbreviation for “yous guys”
@thismyusername Technically I believe “y’all” is/can be singular (depending on the part of the US) with “all y’all” being plural.
@msklzannie
You forgot the 3rd option.
@msklzannie
Right on the first. Mostly right on the second, exceptions depending on context, emotional context, social closeness, or who is being ironic or offering good-nature teasing.
@mflassy Don’t you mean top right?
@narfcake
If you could tell me what I mean to say, then I may want to hire you to do all my work for me.

That’s pretty much what my question was.

:-{ The link doesn’t work for me.
Nobody likes me. Everybody hates me. Guess I’ll go out and eat worms. Big fat slimy ones, little tiny grimy ones, all different kinds of worms…cause…Nobody likes me…
Seriously, though, does that link actually work for someone?
@Shrdlu try it with http not https. All u get is the hosting site though
@Shrdlu
Same thing for the link that does not include the forum.
@medz Thank you; I’d tried that, but must have made a typo. That link is only here, on Meh, not on Mediocre. Weird.
@medz yeah
Catching up with woot on number of tabs vs number of sites.
It is the “other” not “our” communities. I don’t think we are invited.
/8ball Should we feel slighted?
Don’t count on it
/8ball Can I trust your answer?
Most likely
Wait a minute, my list is different. Mine has only the new one listed under other. I am weird one. I guess I knew that. (On my phone and can’t think on how to screen shot it at the moment.)
@speediedelivery
Different tabs are showing the list differently for some people.
@speediedelivery @mflassy it might have to do with whether you have signed into the communities before.
Scratch that as upon visiting I don’t think I’d ever signed into the morningsave forum before.
@djslack But you do like jorts, right?
@therealjrn I had to see if the goat followed me there. And they are a nice accompaniment for a mullet.
@djslack so did the goat follow you there? Inquiring minds want to know
@Kidsandliz goat is only goat on meh.
@Kidsandliz @Ignorant speaks the truth.
@Ignorant
We have not forgotten the great PAWS/PAUSE.
Wt actual f. Ive been a member of this community sense kick… and casemates.com has the audacity to refuse me!
Oops.
This is a horrible way to introduce a niche business model.
Ever enjoy the plan of buying a large quantity of a single consumable so you could ignore buying it again for a very long time?
What if a site matched you up with a buddy who would go in on a case with you — either on an anonymous or known basis?
Now forget that pipe dream. Do you have any more wine?
@snapster Can you beat (after shipping) Sam’s Club pricing on cases of Monster Energy drinks?
@snapster I think the spokestroll has this covered nicely:
/youtube Something went terribly wrong
@snapster
6. Are your neoprene cases lonely? This is a dating site for them. We’ll be selling things that’ll fit in neoprene cases.
@snapster you mean like candy corn ? LOL (@narfcake - how much candy corn can fit into a neoprene case?)
Hey I was close with my guess of today a case of left shoes, tomorrow a case of right shoes…that has to count for more than a free case of air sans packaging. Right?
/google how much candy corn can fit into a neoprene case?
Candy Corn Extravaganza
https://meh.com/forum/topics/candy-corn-extravaganza
There’s the answer, @Kidsandliz. I’m also blaming @djslack for that particular answer too.
@narfcake
/giphy my baaad
@snapster what? i already had the glittery light up iphone 8 case picked out that I wanted at rock bottom meh prices!!! /s
@medz amazon could for a while
last month monster was only $29 for a 24 pack and using S and S you could get the first case for $24
https://camelcamelcamel.com/Monster-Energy-Original-Ounce-Pack/product/B019AKA6YU
then the price went up
its $33 at my local sams for a 24 pack
@snapster I’ll go in alone on cases of good wine all day long.
@jbartus and now you can.

/giphy tease
Forget? Pipe dream?
Sounds to me like you already have a great model for grower-to-consumer pass-through sales, at least in CA and CO.
/giphy "pipe dream"
@f00l And Washington.
@narfcake
Correct.
I am not currently a cannabis aficionado. : (
I’ll let that project wait a bit.
@f00l
4/21, aka national drug test day.
My boss: Oh fuck no!
Maybe they will be selling cases of things there… Like day one cases of left shoes, then day two cases of right shoes… then you will have mates for all your shoes.
/giphy it was all a dream
Why is the lady from the cake holding a huge testicle?
@griffin2020 I think that’s a water wing 1920s style.
Casemates gone.
/giphy "so sad"
@f00l But you can still keep checking casemates.com to see if it finally goes live.
@Kidsandliz On it. Running a change detect script to refresh the page every second.

@medz be sure to announce your findings when something changes so those of us who are lazy can continue to be slackers.
www.caseys.com (famous for pizza)
@medz I think Casey’s (the company) would cost a little more than @snapster would be willing to pay. Although it hasn’t quite yet reached Texas, it is in bordering states. Plus I’m fairly sure they wouldn’t want to advertise their pizza as mediocre.
Disclaimer: I own CASY stock (my 401k is matched with company stock) and have been employed by Casey’s for 19+ years total (15 1/2 consecutive).
If anyone wants to beat mediocre to the punch, here are some domains that are available:
casechums.com
case-pals.com
casemateys.com
casebuyers.com
caseacquaintances.com
casesisters.com
dontcasemebro.com
case-a-thon.com
casecomrades.com
casecompanions.com
casecronies.com
@medz your forgot CaseTheJoint.com
@medz and JustInCase.com
@Kidsandliz Yeah, both those two are for sale by owner. They always want too much.
Sounds like Mass Drop’s business model in a (good) way
Sounds like an idea the mediocre buyers came up with in hopes of saving their jobs. “Look, boss, we just need to be able to see this crap by the case. THEN it would sell for sure! We promise!”
@medz Just the latest tactic to shift the unwanted masses of disposable breathalyzers and power tabs.
Actually with that in mind I absolutely love this idea.
Is this the first project from Mediocre Studios? It sounds like a sitcom.
They’re both lawyers. She’s straight laced and all business, and he’s wacky and loose with the rules. Then they move in together and have to team up on a case–they’re not roommates, they’re Casemates!
Bonus points to whoever can cut a trailer for this out of Better Call Saul footage.
@djslack that’s funny!
Even if that premise of opposites has been done over a 1000 times in tv and movies.
It’s interesting that the actual word casemate is so far out of use as not to be a word anymore. No one thought we were launching a community of canon and gun turret enthusiasts?

@snapster
casemates.horse
@snapster Learn something new every day.
I’m more of a Nikon and gun turret guy myself, though.
@djslack you know, I misspelled the brand Canon enough that I’m not even going to correct my mistake. I’ll take my just deserts
@snapster All good. Just know that the day Meh sells cannons below MAP, I’m in, even if there are warranty support questions.
@djslack oooh cannons! I want one with a big enough bore you can put pop/beer cans down them. Lets just say the James River, The Susan Constance (Jamestown foundation ship) and her brand new cannons, a tugantine (sailing tugboat), and a beer can… and a certain captain who forgot that when you shake up a can under pressure and open it in the wheel house you have, um, a recipe for very little beer left in the can with most of it in places that result in some very “salty” language over the radio. Oh and I forgot - around 2 zillion sea gulls in flight at 6:30am, who moments before, were happily sitting on the James River Bridge. Of course the same thing happens with respect to sea gulls when a navy pilot decides to fly under said bridge (saw that also from the Susan Constance on a different trip) for, I presume, the entertainment value.
If you can’t sell cannons that big then at least sell one where you can put a frozen hot dog down the bore. I’d tell you what we did with that one 4th of July Parade of Sail while firing off a cannon in salute while sailing passing a certain aircraft carrier in NYC but the secret service might take exception to that LOL.
@snapster That was what I was hoping for.
@snapster I would also like my just desserts but that’s why I am on a low carb diet…
@Kidsandliz maybe cannons at the launch party?
beercasemates
@medz how about BeerRunz ?
oh wait…
You planning to sell cases of toilet paper (and paper towels) because, um, you need more sent to meh and now we’d have spares to do that?
On a more serious note, if you are selling cases of stuff it needs to less meh than some of your stuff can be. I’d be really unhappy to buy a case of cheap restroom style non-absorbant, shredding toilet paper.
Is casemates gonna be sort of a nutjob dating site?
How about ContainerMates?
For people who wanna share a container?
@f00l you mean like coffinmate?
@Kidsandliz coffins get kinda lonely.

Funded the kickstarter. Woop. Thanks for the FYI.
I don’t care what it’s called or what they sell…I just care that I’m getting a K!!
