Cinoclav's Field of 32 Day 6

Look Smart Watches, there’s no easy way to say this. You’re… well, you’re not very well liked. Maybe it’s your tendency to stop working at random times. Maybe you just don’t use enough deodorant. Whatever it is, if you see a Flashlight headed your way, I’d suggest turning tail and running as it’s pretty obvious you’re about to get your ass kicked. By a final count of 34 to 11, Flashlights whooped you and I’m guessing afterward they probably shoved you in a locker and jammed a pencil in the latch. Simply put, your parents lied to you when they said you were a winner kid.

On to the next round we go, where we meet up with one of meh’s all time legends. Yes, the Neoprene Cases have risen from the dead (or @BillLehecka’s bathtub - same thing) to take on a staple of discount deal sites, the Chromebook. It’s in your hands people so get to voting!

I give the bare minimum of craps about who wins this category, cuz I would never ever buy either. Still, I voted. One vinnyvote = bare minimum of craps, apparently.

- @UncleVinny But if you buy the Chromebook you can than use it to buy the Neoprene Cases!

- @cinoclav you get a bare-minimum-of-craps star from me, friend, for your Sorcerer’s Apprentice nightmare-inducing loop-gravity evocation of an endless feedback vortex of Meh.com purchases!!!

Over the years, I’ve bought 8 Chromebooks from meh. They have all been put to good use, some are still in use. As a matter of fact, only the Bubba mugs and CoolGear bento boxes have gotten more use.

The neoprene cases, however… I’ve never been able to convince anyone to use them for anything. Not even for bathing.

- @2many2no @macromeh I have bought 0 Chromebooks from meh, having had my sufficiency sufficed from w00t earlier. I have also bought 0 neoprene cases from meh, and 0 from w00t…hmm
  
  I think the bath cases get more press around here, so Imma go with cases for my vote.

Wonder if they’ll make the list…

- @daveinwarsh @therealjrn - There were a couple sales of Floating Leak & Flood Sirens that generated a lot of stories about Leak Frogs.

- @cinoclav @therealjrn Yup. It was my first Fuko, the one with a 5’ Islander ‘phallic-drum’ thing. It was my 1st fuko, & it really made me wonder… The leak frog has been guarding my basement since.

I have never purchased a chromebook from meh.com (or anywhere else). In fact I have never used a chromebook or witnessed one in use.

I did, however, sell dozens of BUILT neoprene cases at various yard sales over the years. I use maybe half a dozen myself, including a large zippered sleeve to protect my laptop inside my messenger bag.

My nod goes to neoprene because it’s the only purchase I’ve made from meh which wasn’t DOA, or failed within the first few uses.
