I’ve gotten compliments on my Kickstarter edition of this shirt.
Which brings me to the fifth option:
You bought the Kickstarter version
You’ve enjoyed your octopus shirt for a few months now. Worn it to events with wine people around and gotten compliments on it. You may still not really be a wine person, per se, but if it has Snapster’s name on it you will part with money for it.
Or, you really love wine, and envy the octopus’ ability to have multiple wines in hand (or tentacle) at the same time.
Either way, you have this shirt in navy already. Should you buy another?
I like the original design. I’m not sure about the new version. But then again, I haven’t bought an electric car, my house looks like a house, and my couch looks like a couch. So maybe it’s not for me.
@JanaS You can buy a Casemate Kickstarter Design tee, but in the new blue format. It’s just borrowing the design of the original shirt (which is the one they ran out of).
@JanaS@sammydog01 Best I can figure out after going back to Casemates and doing some snooping around, is that she probably was late getting her Kickstarter shirt order in.
@Barney@sammydog01 I thought I did when asked for my shirt size. I asked about it a few times more. Then I was told they ran out and there was no chance to still get one. It appears from the Casemates forum I’m not alone.
I think it was @thumperchick that finally got me a code worth $10 this past August. Still have it. I was going to use it as part of the Fuko exchange but apparently that’s going nowhere.
Could I have spent it on this shirt? Yeah, I could have. But That would have meant buying it for $30 ($25 kickstart and $5 shipping) As it is I essentially paid $25 for a $10 credit.
Does Meh owe me a Tee? Technically no they do not. I accepted the code. Besides, I think they needed that $25 more than I did.
@JanaS You have me kind of confused. On the Kickstarter, there was an early bird shirt offer for $10 and then there was the regular Kickstarter after that, for $15. There was no $25 offer, unless you decided to donate an additional amount.
So it looks like to me that @Thumperchick was pretty fair in giving you a code for $10, because you really did miss the cutoff. I don’t see that you were cheated out of any money and that you are not owed any additional compensation.
Then again, I could be wrong. I’m not an employee of Mediocre.
@Barney@JanaS You had to actually order the shirt from Mediocre.com and it was free. So I guess you missed that deadline and they ran out? They were most likely printed to order.
@Barney I looked it up and you are correct in that it was $15 not $25 as I remembered. If as you say you researched the Casemate forum you saw that I had asked for my $25 dollars back in August. I was not corrected then so I had no reason to look further. But the math basically stands: I paid $15 for a shirt and got a $10 credit instead. If I had used the credit to get this shirt I would have had to pay an additional $5 to get it for a total of $20 paid not $30.
As for your statement
because you really did miss the cutoff.
No, I did not miss the cutoff. I received a request asking for my shirt size. I responded to that request in a timely manner but never received a shirt. I was told by customer service that the shirts were no longer available when I inquired about it. And I was not the only one who didn’t get a shirt.
At no point did I claim to be cheated. I called foul. Huge difference. I asked for the product I “purchased” via kickstarter. I have the badge but not the shirt. When I asked for a refund of my Kickstarter pledge in August, @Thumperchick helped me. I accepted the offer from customer service and thanked @thumperchick for her help.
That was the end of it until this shirt showed up on Meh. I called foul only because I couldn’t pass up a chance to poke at @dave and @snappy, not to claim I was cheated.
“You see stories about rescue dogs on Facebook and feel nothing. you stand directly in front of the elevator doors waiting for them to open, not because you’re in a rush, not because you think you’re better than other people, but because you haven’t thought at all. Often, you feel as though you’ve forgotten something. Your phone? No. It’s in your pocket. Your wallet? No. That’s there too. Your keys? No again. Really, you have forgotten nothing; instead, what you’re experiencing is the sensation of your being crying out to fill the hole where a soul should be.”
IRK Plushies, Mehgic 8 Ball (all responses some form of meh.), Squatty Potty (because we don’t have the fukubukuro anymore and our crap needs to go somewhere), AAA batteries, poop meh emoji pillows, and candy corn because it’s near Halloween duh.
This deal is not tenticlizing.
Feels like this deal is many arms away from good.
I am saying meh is a h8r of customers with this one.
Many hearts are going be to disappoined.
This deal has major sucktion,
What happens when an octopus gets drunk?
Does he see double or?
Just like octopuses this deal should have a short lifespan.
MYbe meh should mimic a good deal next time. (Intentional typo btw).
I am available for birthday parties, deal sites and churches (because I am so good on Sunday it’s a religion). Hit me up.
Wow that shirt is really blue. I have the original Casemates KS backer shirt. I really like the octo design, but I think it would be better if printed on a black shirt. Mine is dark blue. These for sale today are like melt your retinas kinda blue.
Which design won’t make my butt look fat? (but at least it’s not another black t-shirt, so kudos for that bit of fashion forward thinking out of the box)
@beachhead Twenty nine years ago my wife asked me “Does this skirt make my butt look fat?” I answered “The skirt is fine. Twinkies make your butt fat.” I remember to this day to never make that joke again.
For maximum effect, this shirt should be unable to be shipped to several random states.
@lljk done in one

@djslack I have it in navy and also bought a bunch of black ones when they sold them here. It’s a nice design though.
@sammydog01 I forgot they sold black ones.
I like the original design. I’m not sure about the new version. But then again, I haven’t bought an electric car, my house looks like a house, and my couch looks like a couch. So maybe it’s not for me.
@djslack Change is bad.
The new design needs suction cups- that’s the best part of an octopus. Otherwise it would just be a wet spider.
@sammydog01 Creepy sea spider.
Well PUSsy cat OctoPUS… @narfcake is this perhaps the first step towards catshirts?
@Kidsandliz we had catshirts last Saturday!
https://meh.com/forum/topics/meh-cat-shirt-loafing-or-loathing
@PHRoG Well yes but not the promised mediocritee site…
@Kidsandliz
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have spent very little time online since Friday.
I have this shirt anyway:
/wootstalker https://shirt.woot.com/offers/beware-the-octopuss
Beware The Octopuss
Price: $19.00
Condition: Probably New
Been there. Done that. Meh.
@Willijs3 I have a pile of these on black. Close enough.
My order number is plausible-slick-substance…which is actually perfect for this purchase!
/giphy plausible-slick-substance
Hold on now! Didn’t you tell me I didn’t get my Casemate Kickstarter Tee because you ran out? I call foul!
@JanaS You can buy a Casemate Kickstarter Design tee, but in the new blue format. It’s just borrowing the design of the original shirt (which is the one they ran out of).
@JanaS @lordbowen also this one won’t have the Kickstarter ‘K’ on the hem.
@JanaS @lordbowen They should give these shirts to the folks who didn’t get their kickstarter shirt.
@Ignorant @lordbowen No Problem, I’ve got a Sharpee pen.
@Kidsandliz
Hmmm…
@dave @snapper
@JanaS They ran out of Kickstarter shirts and they didn’t do anything “extra” for you?
@Barney @JanaS That seems odd- did you get your order in on time?
@JanaS @sammydog01 Best I can figure out after going back to Casemates and doing some snooping around, is that she probably was late getting her Kickstarter shirt order in.
Is this what happened @JanaS?
@Barney @sammydog01 I thought I did when asked for my shirt size. I asked about it a few times more. Then I was told they ran out and there was no chance to still get one. It appears from the Casemates forum I’m not alone.

Who are you and why have you been spying on me?
@meh1198 I truly Laughed Out Loud when I read this.
Wtf is this
Cases of octopi?
@meh770 or 8 cases of pie
Maybe I should quit my whining

@reclaimercube Woot sold sarcastic 9 balls. That’s more appropriate for this crowd.

@sammydog01 I actually found it on iwoot.com which I didn’t even know was a real website
Yasssss!!! Meh Shirt Saturday continues!!!
/giphy cantankerous-handsomely-snow
Wouldn’t Topless Sunday be better?
Just in CASE- u need a shirt MATE—
This deal is not tenticlizing.

Thanks for reminding me I’m a heartless jerk who can’t remember what I forgot while standing in the way of other people’s progress.
I already have it in black, but it’s so cool I’ll buy it again in a different color.
FUCK that minimalist bullshit new design, by the way.
/image pretty-distant-tinker
@Dizavid Where U get it in black?
@ruouttaurmind Not where, but when. Back on Casemates’ launch day.
You Purchase Neither
This choice, on the other hand… well, it’s not really a choice at all. It’s the absence of one. You’ve essentially chosen not to choose.
“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice” - Rush “Freewill”
Whine
Don’t most octopuses have rectangular or sometimes ‘W’ shaped pupils?
https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=octopus+pupil
I’m not a marine biologist, but I think the round pupils would bug me every time I looked at this shirt.
@The_Tim They also don’t hold frying pans but I wouldn’t let that keep me from buying one.
Seriously? No… seriously? THIS is a thing? And we should by it?
@Mehcromancer no, you should buy both!
@Mehcromancer buy
Wow that shirt is really blue. I have the original Casemates KS backer shirt. I really like the octo design, but I think it would be better if printed on a black shirt. Mine is dark blue. These for sale today are like melt your retinas kinda blue.
@ruouttaurmind yeah…not a fan of the blue either…but, meh.
I got nothin’…
This is ridiculous!
I don’t really need an octopus shirt, because I already have the ring. Gonna have to pass on this one.
Still not a VMP shirt. No sale.
Casemate shirts?! Should’ve just sold wine so I could drink my sorrows away from not having MEh face pop sockets in my life
@deathbynoodlez hey if you ever want wine they have a site for that! casemates.com
I like the original design better
sorry @snapster
Specs
What’s in the Box?
1x Shirt

DAE think that if they want us to wear advertising shirts they should be free, like the beer shirts given away in bars?
@Steve7654 yeah all those bands I like should give me their shirts too!!
Meh. More shirts. Anyone know of a good site?
@cobra54 You could shop mediocritee.com …
@narfcake

Which design won’t make my butt look fat? (but at least it’s not another black t-shirt, so kudos for that bit of fashion forward thinking out of the box)
@beachhead Don’t know. Can we see your butt without the shirt?
@beachhead Twenty nine years ago my wife asked me “Does this skirt make my butt look fat?” I answered “The skirt is fine. Twinkies make your butt fat.” I remember to this day to never make that joke again.
@beachhead @mehcuda67 “No, honey, your butt makes the skirt look fat.”
So, basically they’re bringing back wine.woot (which amazon recently killed), and Meh is launching new t-shirts to celebrate it? That’s cool, I guess.
@ultimatebob Wow, are you behind.
I would buy this! After you ate the nuts out of my dookie…
