Here’s your chance. If you haven’t gotten a fuko, or you haven’t won one yet, and you think should get one, make your case. I’m feeling generous again.
@PlacidPenguin curiouser and curiouser that box that you won’t talk about… that would be the one you are sending that person we won’t talk about either?
I got one in the sale. But hey, who doesn’t think they deserve more? I tried on some of the threads, but to no avail lol! And, I can’t even find someone to take a selfie with. Story of my life, no one wants to even pretend to like me…not even to get a fuko lol. Now I’m sad. And on the verge of crying…at work! So I’m risking getting in trouble for being on my phone and sad…I’d say that deserves some extra fuko love. Mehbe
@PlacidPenguin I would. But I cannot afford to fly anywhere. Nor could I take the time off from work at the moment. I literally drove to Myrtle beach for vacation last week…and ended up with two flat tires and having to spend an emergency night in a hotel. Pretty much went broke doing that. See, even my vacation sucked!
@gnol@ruouttaurmind Was @gmail in an accident or something? I want to ask how they ended up losing all but one finger on their hand but I don’t want to be rude.
I’ve not gotten a fuko. And I doubt I’ll get an IRK when you start sending them.
But TECHnically, since you just sold the LAST of the Fukos, and you just created (but haven’t sold any) IRKs yet, I guess I’ll be getting a Fuko-Irk, or hybrid of the past and the future.
TIA for sending me my mehbrid gift. I promise I won’t ask for another one… since this is the only one of its kind, since I just coined the term.
My current fuko count is “0”. Thanks to the generosity of @ChadP I been gifted with two. It’s more satisfying earning them then playing the “captcha” game.
@mfladd And here I thought @ChadP just wasn’t giving me another one for my awesome posts because he already gave me one a couple days ago. Turns out, my posts just aren’t that funny.
@ChadP@lichme I find you amusing, but I don’t give out fukos, so you probably don’t care
One of them I wasn’t even trying - it was just a comment that he fuko blessed.
Hmmmmm. Do I deserve a Fuko? I guess it depends on whether receipt of a Fuko is a gift or a punishment.
If it is a gift, then yes I deserve a Fuko as I am generally a good person. I was on a SW flight last week, sitting in an aisle seat with the door about to close, when a 8-10 year old boy sat down next to me. I assumed that he was traveling by himself as they hadn’t asked anyone to give up their seat. After we took off the boy’s mom came back to check on him. I gave her my seat so that she could sit next to her son and took her middle seat.
If it is a punishment, then yes I deserve a Fuko as I am generally an evil person. Several people in my office stalk electronic calendars, opening every meeting entry and then gossiping and/or starting rumors to get everyone else in the office worked up. Before I left on vacation I had invited several people to a “secret meeting”. It was talked/obsessed about at length the entire time I was out. Since it was such a rousing success I have now sent out an invitation for a “classified conference”. But this time I added an agenda…as in I created a fake agenda in Word and changed the font to Wingdings3. My original thought was that whoever opened it would see that they had been played when they changed the font back, but I discovered that you cannot change the font back to something legible after it was attached to the calendar entry…instead it changes everything to boxed question marks. So now someone is going to have to solve the agenda like a Cryptoquip…only to read…BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE!!! evil laugh
For no reason at all. I just wanted to post something because I’m bored. It’s hot, although not as hot as last week at this time, my sleep has been off, because heat.
Spent the morning on the sofa snoozing and the cats kept climbing on me. Did you know normal cat temperatures are 100.5° to 102.5°? Get OFF!
Here is a video I made to prove a point over on these here forums a cuppla years ago. My first (and only, so far) Meh video.
Wait, we’re allowed to get more than one from games? Psh I’m gonna go play them all now, lol! But really, I just got (my first ever) BOC on woot too, and I’m REALLY excited to put the two head to head and establish that Meh is the coolest one. I wouldn’t argue if you wanted to double your odds of winning.
@mfladd If it wouldn’t be my first tattoo, I very seriously would consider putting a Meh on me. But I want my first one to be meaningful.
OK I could make the case that Meh got me through a really shitty job cause I could wear their shirts every day for months when I was so burned out there… Hmm. Wonder if the place my roomie gets his done could fit me in tomorrow? He has an oncology appointment, and it’d involve going to an area of town I’m not really familiar with by myself. Still worth the ponder though.
@ChadP I tried so very hard to get one this time, especially since it is the last one of its kind and I’ve gotten hung up in captchas so many other times. I’m trying to console myself with the plain bag and shirt I purchased, but it’s leaving me feeling empty and hollow.
Could you imagine the joy and surprise we’d feel when I and my three children (who happen to have multiple disabilities - this is true) open that package from Meh and find it stuffed full of all kinds of glorious products from Meh? It’d be a Meh-ricle here, what an unexpected blessing that would be!
It’s been two years since I last got one and we’ve only ever gotten two of them (2 and 11). Please warm this widowed momma’s heart by granting our request. Thanks for the generous offer!
Holy shit! I just received email confirmation that my two gifted fuko orders were already placed. That is the fastest prizes I think meh has ever given.
@mfladd@sammydog01 I am a little late to this party but portage a canoe (saw his video). I used to work for Outward Bound and my “worst” portage was 7 miles (stupid kids were SITTING in the portage trail and missed it so took the road and we couldn’t tell them as they were on their final expedition but OMG did we hint!) with the 90 pound canoe and a food pack that was likely about 60-70 pounds (typically they were more like 110 so I was lucky). At the time I weighed about 123. Luckily I still have functioning knees after routinely portaging close to my body weight for months.I used to be able to flip it up to my shoulders with the keel resting on my thighs. There is no way I could do that now.
I am not a robot, indeed I am not,
yet Meh insists, I am some sort of bot.
Clicking “not a robot”, is never enough
then I am forced to select, from all kinds of stuff.
If the captcha pics, were clearer to see,
I might be faster choosing a sign from a tree.
And is the sign’s post considered a sign
or is it to confuse, by intentional design?
Then after my best efforts, I am told,
sorry too late, they’ve all been sold.
So for all of the captchas that I’ve been thru,
I feel like I’ve failed, but somehow due.
Especially this, the last one you know,
would be a nice bonus to get a Fuko.
Happy Birthday to all, MEH and IRK
now send me a Fuko for all my work!
@batteries seems a bit like discrimination to me. Why can’t robots have Fukus? If I am sentient and a robot, does Meh think I am inferior just for not being organic.
Meh can be so bigoted against robots at times. They need to get with the 21st century… Not all of us are made of meat anymore.
I got one from the generous you earlier today, thank you.
Do I deserve one is another matter. I would have to say nope. I lurk more than contribute most of the time. I have at least peeked in here all but a few days but fail to be active except in short bursts. I enjoy the community forum and the fun wide range of discussions.
Happy, happy birthday Meh. Looking forward to the next year as you leave the toddler years and head towards preschool.
@ChadP Do you spy on me? I am convinced it must be. My husband was going to buy me one of those sharks. Are you trying to tell me something? You are personality packing each and every one, right? I think I need more tin foil.
@ChadP@lisaviolet This is getting beyond tin foil. I was looking for cheap aa batteries yesterday for the cat toy. All I found was aaa. Now I don’t know what to do. I only needed 4 now and maybe a few spares.
/8ball Should I buy that many batteries? Better not tell you now
@ChadP Thanks for the Fuko! I was confused by the 2 gifs and thought maybe you giveth and then taketh away, but lo and behold I got a shipping notice. Yay! Looking forward to receiving a Roomba. Or not.
This is my dog, Brownie. He is blind and also missing an eye. I refer to him as, “Brownie, the Blind Pirate.” He loves getting random crap in the mail. Before he went blind, he knew delivery boxes meant treats or toys. He still gets super excited when the UPS or FedEx man comes by.
Please, please, Meh…send this old dog one last Fuko!!
(Potential disappointment will only be experienced by the hooman, as Brownie gives zero fucks about destroying anything he deems a toy)
@bramby2@Ignorant Well I am a dork. Sorry about that. I was tired (am at mom’s doing lots of things for her and sit in the lobby for internet), skimming the forums due to lack of time to really read them and didn’t realize I had switched threads and was reading a different one. Oops. Oh wait. It is the goat’s fault.
@ChadP Woof. Woof. Woof! (Woof-woof.)
Translation from Brownie’s hooman: THANKS! (The rest was directed at me personally and involved a protest poop, so it doesn’t need to be posted)
This is like costco samples. It’s not like anyone deserves them, but free crap is free crap and people will act differently for it. Of course I’m the idiot that paid 5 dollars plus shipping for the same crap. Not sure which is worse.
Nah, unless it has a speaker dock in it. Mom loves those speaker docks, she has 'em all over the house. She loves listening to music, dad is pretty much deaf now, and I don’t live there. lol
Once upon a time i tried for a fuko on a crappy connection, trying to identify signs or some other Trees or cars or whatever. Believe it or not I failed to be able to waste 5.00 bucks. So maybe I should thank you for the trickery to eliminate my purchase. After that I never tried again. I read in the forums about the multitudes of Meh shoppers that failed in the Fuko Olympics. Do I deserve one ? No but I would like to get one and free is much better than spending 5 bucks.
/giphy 5 bucks
Between @ChadP’s generosity and being rewarded for my new Fuko name contribution, I have been beyond fortuitous this week. Considering so many other things in life have been pretty shitty lately, I really couldn’t be more thankful for what I already have coming. Thanks to everyone at meh!
I don’t know that I deserve a Fuko, but I’d like one. I made a traditional family birthday cake (peach and blueberry crunch with ice cream) and uploaded photos with help from people who are much cooler than me. I get to prove I’m not a robot a lot, so I’m not very good at getting through the Fuko hurdles. I’ve got lots of teenagers and most will tell you that my coolness quotient is minimal, but my dogs like me so there’s that. I’m also a long timer, Kickstarter and VMP.
TL;DR - probably not deserving, but it’s been a difficult summer and would make this a better day to hear that one was coming.
Do I deserve one probably not, I am married with 3 kids. Every single day I wake up with disappointment. Shity diapers annoying wife broken coffee machine… On second thought I’ll take a sympathy one
I don’t deserve a Fuko, but it would be nice to have one- I’ve also been a VMP since inception, and served as goat previously.
Thank you for your consideration, and a very happy birthday to Mediocre, Meh, and all of the future projects!
Maybe offer them up to the VMPs who never got one.
I’ve gotten lucky a few times so have personally experienced the sheer thrill it is to have nabbed one. (ok…maybe sheer thrill is a little excessive, so let’s just go with thrill!)
@AttyVette@SpocKirk I read somewhere once (I think it was on the dedication page of a Lawrence Block novel) “Even the wicked get worse than they deserve.” (I also see that the quote is from pulitzer prize winning book “One of Ours” by Willa Cather, if the internets are correct).
I wouldn’t say I deserve one but I would LOVE to buy one! — I’ve been a VMP Member since I discovered MEH over 2 years ago. I’ve placed many orders on MEH and Morningsave. I guess you could say I’m a faithful Member! LOL!
So here is the thing, as a grad student I have very little “excitement” in my life, I spend days reading about things that the common person would not even look at. I need a good diversion from the hum drum of my existence. Now does anyone really deserve a bag of regrets? No not really but there is something about the excitement of getting a Fuko that everyone should experience, I have experienced it once, it was marvelous. So Meh, yeah I do deserve a Fuko, but so does everyone else who frequents your site on a daily basis. Help the community out, give us the gift that everyone wants, be Oprah for a day. EVERYONE GETS A FUKO. If that doesn’t work, I will happily accept one.
@ChadP so Chad why are we enemies? Are you a fan of that state whom shall not be named slightly south of Michigan? On a side note are we talking a real Fuko will be arriving or is it just the GIF. I just want to set my expectations correctly.
I had a bunch of meetings in the morning Monday, so I missed the midnight offering so I could sleep. I was then driving at 8am to said meetings, so I missed the 8am offering. I was all set to try for the 4pm VMP offering and the President where I work called me into his office to go over some spreadsheets at exactly 3:50pm, so I had to miss the 4pm offering. Of course we finished at 4:05pm. At that point it was pretty obvious that I was not meant to get one that day. I don’t deserve one any more than everyone else, but I would like one just like everyone else!
@ChadP Yes, it is weird that you don’t but that’s ok, I won’t hold it against you! Thank you kind man!! It’s been almost 2 years since I scored one, so much appreciated!! Happy Birthday meh!
I’ve tried many times. But I either get caught by the captcha, or just distracted at 11 and forget to check. Why do I deserve one? Ummm… Because I like disappointment? Because I secretly hide my purchases from my wife for a month or 2, then when she finds it, i just answer “Oh, meh ran that cheap”? or because I say please?
I participate I’m this society thing to the best of my ability and work for everything that I get.
Does it matter? … Maybe … I’m not sure! All those things I get are exactly what I expect, but the Fuko is something that I don’t expect.
Let’s be honest. I don’t buy things from meh because I need them, but because I want to be a part of this society, too! It’s not just the clever words, deep witt or the sarcastic comments, it’s the…
Wait… yeah… uh, that’s the biggest part.
Please validate me! Let meh know meh place in the meh society is secure and let me be a part of the last Fuko bag ever!
Besides… I’ve already pretended that I got one and told all my friends about it… and I don’t want her to know that it was a lie.
@ChadP Okay, maybe I don’t deserve a Fuko now. Since my original post on why I deserve a Fuko, my life has been put on hold. I’ve stopped doing anything productive and have been checking the meh site repeatedly. Each time I check, I find myself wondering if I made the cut. Was I deserving enough? How would I know? Did ChadP reply to me?
Now my boss is in my office asking me why I’m not working and he’s standing over my shoulder reading this post.
I am finishing the post as I drive home for the day. At least I hope it’s for the day. I’m not really sure what he was saying as he walked me to my car.
PS. I had to write this post three times because I kept interrupting it to check and see if I got a Fuko…
No, I do not deserve one, like others have also stated about themselves. However, I would like you to send me one of the last fukobukuros’. I tried to buy one when they were sold on Monday but failed to secure one. There is a saying that it is better to give than receive so I want to find out if true by your gifting me one tonight. Then we can both know if that saying is true. I am already thinking the saying might be true…
@insuranceman@ChadP- ok I had to tag myself so you’d get this and see the reference back to my previous response — I deserve one now as I regret originally saying I didn’t deserve one —still feeling generous??? Hope so
Yeah, I deserve one!
Admittedly, I am mostly a lurker who enjoys reading along. I do find the quirky mix of people here, staff and public, to be endearing.
Being slow to the party most days, I only contribute if it looks like something not already mentioned.
I do share the website with others far and wide across this big, blue globe.
Despite having tried, was never successful at getting any of the Fuku/Fukos before. So if you are feeling generous, this one would be a first! Thanks for the consideration.
I’ve been working my butt off lately (sometimes 60 hour weeks with no overtime pay) cleaning up 2 decades of a mess from my coworker (uncovering more and more lately). I also just passed my 3rd year review, so halfway towards tenure (what an incredible stress relief that was). I just got back from my 6th work trip so far this year and gave my 6th major research presentation (including being a visiting scholar at another university which is very rare for pre tenure faculty in my field).
So… My wife is the one that truly deserves a fuko because she’s the true champ holding down the fort and supporting me through all of this. She’s an awesome mom too to our 2 and 4 year old boys (who are EXTREMELY energetic).
@luvche21 I get that you have six year-old boys, but why do you divide them into groups of two and four? Maybe, if you keep them all together, they’ll be easier to manage.
It must have been one heck of a pregnancy…
@ChadP I’m a… wait for it… librarian! Which doesn’t sound very action packed, but it’s lent to a lot more travel than I ever thought there would be (especially with the film music research I’m getting into).
I really don’t think I deserve one. The one that I got in fuko history was pretty much a winner, all pretty decent items. Another fuko would just ruin my streak.
Been here since the new year and have finally figured out what fukos are just in time for their last call/rebirth. Took awhile but I have now dared to hit the meh button once, make my first purchases, establish my altruism score, make comments, send my first glitch report, and figured out the whole goat thing (i think). A fuko would be like a diploma from meh kindergarten Happy mildly belated bday meh!
Well, no, I don’t deserve one, but what I would really & truly like is for meh to have something in place that would eliminate long time mehmbers having to argue with/prove to Captcha they are not robots.
I understand why meh uses that PITA hurdle (some people are shifty AF so this is why we can’t have nice things), but damn. Arguing with Captcha, along with not being able to see a car bumper or edge of a street sign on smaller screens, & Comcast being craptastic at the worst possible times finally made me stop trying. Yeah, I know. Sounds likes a personal problem.
Honestly, I’d send you five Georges just for an empty bag, but don’t tell my husband. He’s banned me from bringing home any more of those “tree hugger bags” as he calls them. Says they’re breeding like Tribbles.
@capguncowboy That’s very, very kind of you! I’ll take you up on the offer! It’s weird the stuff that catches the eye and tells the brain You really want & NEED to have this in your life. Kinda like my Dalek & TARDIS salt & pepper shakers and way too many Woot & Meh deals.
@tinamarie1974 I was hoping the Internet Wizards would be able to find a workable solution, or invent a time machine/wayback machine that will make me younger.
@moonhat You must be a very young hat. We Olds who grew up on Star Trek reruns (the James T. Kirk ones) need to hip you to gloriously. good. bad. TV.
@kuoh Having to explain what a Tribble is feels like a knife in my ancient ticker.
@capguncowboy@kuoh@LaVikinga@tinamarie1974 i apologize!! And I’m not a young hat at all, but my sci-if love was always V. (I even had a “V” scrapbook as a teenager ) And my semi scifi geeky hubby has always been a huge Stargate whore. I promise not to ask such bad (painful?) questions in the future…
@ChadP@kuoh Only thing to top that here’s a fuko gif is one of The Oprah. “You get a Fuko! YOU get a Fuko! EVERYONE GETS A FUKO!!!” Sorta looks like dreams really do come true. Watching stuff like this happen is just one of the reasons I keep coming back to Meh every day to lurk. Meh is a happy place to hang.
@capguncowboy@kuoh@LaVikinga@tinamarie1974 how can you not know what V is? Mid 80’s miniseries (then short lived tv show), aliens come to earth pretending to be great but are stealing the water and are reptilian under their pretend skin. Good stuff, Maynard.
@capguncowboy@kuoh@LaVikinga@moonhat hhhmmmm I’ve got nuttin. The only mindblowing thing I remember from that time frame was that Boy George was a man and Annie Lennox was a woman…blew my mind lol
I’ll have to see if it is on Netflix or the like. Sounds good!
No but as it is my busy season and I have been working every day for the last month about 70 hrs a week I have not been able to compete in the contests and would like a fuko.
@ChadP Awww…if I still had pregnancy hormones floating in me I would cry…and come to think of it…that’s the same shirt I got randomly…only not my size…fate
No one deserves a Fuko.
I mean, if you’re a bad person, you don’t deserve free stuff, even if it is a bunch of white elephantine junk.
If you’re a good person, you don’t deserve the plummeting let-down that follows the soaring excitement when transitioning from a freshly delivered, as yet unopened box of Fuko to an opened, inspected and inventoried Fuko.
Me? Never mind whether or not I deserve one, the Neighbors Who Care charity thrift shop, whom I gave the contents of my last (and only) Fuko to, doesn’t deserve another bag full of stuff that they’ll have trouble giving away never mind selling, to help fund their mission of “alleviating isolation/loneliness in seniors” living in my area.
As for me, I just implied that any Fuko I receive will be selflessly and altruistically given away to benefit lonely old people, when the truth is, in the unlikely event that the Fuko contains anything desirable, I’ll absolutely keep it for myself without a second thought. The old geezers can try to make a buck off of whatever undesirable junk is left over. Maybe they can tell an audience of Hubmen all about how their grandkids don’t visit them.
So clearly, I’m a bad person and don’t deserve any free stuff, even if it is useless junk - especially so because then I’ll just give it to charity and pretend that makes me a good person.
So, please don’t send me a Fuko; I deserve to get nothing and like it!
Here’s your chance. If you haven’t gotten a fuko, or you haven’t won one yet, and you think should get one, make your case. I’m feeling generous again.
I guess there’s nothing in your statement that would suggest that this is open for people who won/purchased one or won/were awarded one in a contest.
Literally nothing.
and yet there is some small part of me (not that part, damn it!) that thinks "if I were to somehow obtain a third fuko would that increase my chances of getting something epic?
then I think “epically bad, most likely. you should quit while you are, if not ahead, at least not that far behind.”
so, in truth, I should not, been any normal measure, get one (more).
it should likely go to someone who is, not only more deserving, but, to this point, fuko-less.
unless you have so damn many of these things laying around you’re having trouble unloading them.
My sweet, sweet sister…you know her as @Trillian… is bragging constantly about her Fuko and will not stop harassing me until I win one.actual text of her harrasment in the interest of family harmony, maybe you could arrange something?
But is she really looking out for me?
If I get my own Fuko, what can she send me for my birthday ( I already have the seizure inducing trippy glasses)? @capguncowboy
Yes, Because I joined from Kickstarter, bought for a while and completely forgot about meh since. Totally deserve a fuko for being such a poor supporter?
Yes. I already got one shipping to me now, but if I get another one shipped to the same address I might get “literal trash” according to the bullet points during the sale. I would love to share pictures of Meh garbage and I always have room in my trash can to dispose of it.
No. I’ve never bought a thing from your site from the years I’ve been lurking here, so I’ve just been drain on your severs. Buuuuut I’d really like one anyway, so I’ll just ask nicely. Please?
Hey I think we all should nominate @ChadP for Man of Meh Year- You are awesome Chad as we have witnessed in this thread Fukos of epic proportions! Meh hats off to you again for Meh Fuko and for all you gave out. Meh you always get what you Meh want @ChadP!
I don’t need a fuko since I was able to order one Monday.
But when I see this thread and @ChadP raining down fuko’s on all these poor people, I picture him a bit as Clint Eastwood with a fuko gun.
Considering I was able to purchase all but two (pretty sure) of the fukus and fukos along the way, earning them from my point of view, the only possible way I could ‘deserve’ another one would be as an entitlement, for being a Kstarter or long time VMPer or extended time Mediocre-er or to make up for the fact that I didn’t click that very first ‘meh’ on Kickstarter day or simply for posting here.
So thank you, but please consider providing a fuko to someone who tried and tried a lot but never got one. I’m entitled to that hope.
But if you have any more purple Fuko bags… I know someone who really, really likes purple (cough @Barney cough)…
@duodec
Aww…I, too, have been fortunate in snagging a number of fukus/fukos, and even though I happened to miss the meh purple bag Fuko, meh did send me a bonus purple bag with some meh swag.
This is such a great place – great staff and great mehmbers, including you. Take the Fuko that they are offering you, duodec. They seem to have an abundance of them.
I think they have been cleaning out the warehouse and have run out of dumpsters for their trash. So, they have to do something with it.
You guys are making me nervous. Please tell me you’re not liquidating your inventory and calling it a charitable donation to people with personality disorders?
It appears if I got one from my blindfolded Irk drawing. My little box shredder says thanks for the extra box! So now, I have to say maybe I no longer deserve an extra one lol! I mean unless you just want to send a bunch of cardboard for my box shredding angel… who leaves a huge mess for me to clean up lol!!
I missed the arts and crafts challenge but the one full I received included a wooden box that once held ammunition. It smelled fantastic. I made it into a side table! It has storage!
Goat cat deserves a fuko - a cat oriented fuko - or at least one that comes in a cat “trap” sized box (aka the cat traps are working - all the boxes have cats in them) for her to play in, sleep in and then entertain herself with by destroying it piece by piece.
She stands guard like a vulture goat from the top of the door… She can keep me awake until the mehing hour so I click then and not later in the day when all hope of a fuko is gone.
there once was a bag named Fuku
its contents were always quite cuckoo
“that’s no good!” it was said
“this bag, they should dread!”
so they changed it to Fuko, boohoo!
@ChadP
Meh had a staffer named ChadP,
Whose Fukos made everyone happy!
“Have a fuko” — hooray!
When the box comes, oy vey;
The contents are probably crappy
Hiiii Meh staff!
I did manage to trick the system prove that I was not a robot on time, so I purchased a Final Fukobukuro with my cold hard virtual cash…
But alas, I have not managed to win a magical Mediocre Staffer gifted one. And I do love them so much, especially since I am in Canada, which means they end up going to my sister’s house in Virginia, so they get to partake in the silliness and joy of opening the shipments to see what they might contain. And then I get additional joy knowing that my sister is stuck with the stuff for at least a period of time until someone in our family is visiting her with a car !
So, on behalf of this Canadian Meh-customer, thanks in advance if you choose to toss one my way, eh! (sorry)
@PlacidPenguin Sorry! I did say sorry at the bottom there. Maybe I should have used some colour and centred it, eh? Sorry I wasn’t clearer for you, neighbour!
@curtise I went to a small beach on lake Erie today. I got a text from my cell phone provider saying welcome to Canada. Are you taking over the lake and annexing the northern states?
@speediedelivery Shhhh! You’re not supposed to let anyone else know…
Seriously though, I’m surprised! American cell towers are usually SO much stronger that we start to get the Welcome to the USA messages when we are still many kilometres from the border.
I’m currently at a cottage (family’s) on a sound (Parry) on a bay (Georgian) on a great lake (Huron) How was the lake (Erie), and what beach did you visit?
@ChadP My address on file is my sister’s place, so yup. Lower 48. It’s kind of a challenge shipping stuff across the border (or else you’d be doing it, amirite ) but I can try to bring across and send you a Canadiana Fuko next time I am in the US if that works…
@ChadP Really? Isn’t it as cost prohibitively expensive to ship from the US to Canada as it is in the other direction?
If I wanted to ship you a 3lb box in similar dimensions to my last fuko (which was actually almost 16lb), the cheapest form of Canada Post’s parcel post would be almost $69.
UPS’s cheapest option would be about $62.
How about if I send an envelope with a promissory note entitling the bearer to a Fuko of Canadian stuff when I next visit? Or you know, you could just come chill with me here…
@PlacidPenguin the problem isn’t how to get the Fuko to me - it goes to my sister… That’s part of the awesome ridiculousness of it… Mediocre stuff filling up her house in Virginia until someone from my family comes to get it!
The problem is getting the Fuko of Canadiana (or FoC) to @ChadP.
If one of your globally travelling friends wants to be my mule carrier of said box back to the USA, that would be super cool. Bonus points if they live near Meh HQ and I don’t have to actually pay to ship a box.
@Kidsandliz There are indeed! The guy my sister used to date a long time ago was one of the carillon programmers for the North York bells… Sadly they don’t get played properly anymore. Still a few fully played carillons in town though!
@curtise There is some festival in the summer where people come in to play. I played at Niagara Falls for several days then as the person who played there was in Toronto. You guys also had the communist china art exhibit there with a zillion cool things. I was at U of Rochester at the time and we took a road trip (with a bunch of my SE Asian friends - this was well before all the ICE stuff. One kid forgot his passport. We got into Canada and he very nearly did not get out. The exhibit was amazing.
Realistically, I just love taking pictures and writing up the unboxing. So if there’s anything dumb sitting around the warehouse that you want gone, but want pictures in a week or so to remind you of what you’ve gotten rid of, I’m your guy!
OH! And while you’re cleaning out the warehouse, if there are any pet related things, I’d love to donate them to the German Shepherd Rescue I work with
Meet our current foster Elsa (left), and my dog Bruno
@TexDragonSlayer first glance I read that as “I promise to keep the steak going” — I’ll bet the Powers could be convinced to give up a fuko or two in exchange for steak
Appreciate the hookup ChadP but I don’t seem to see anything in my orders, then again I haven’t had a free one before so I don’t know if we are even supposed to be able to see it.
Just wanted to say Congrats on a very above-mediocre job on the various 4th B-day festivities this week! Clearly, much effort & creativity was applied to good effect, which is also true of the many Mehtizens who played along as well!! (Gotta say, new branding of the FUKO as the IRK/InstantRegretKit is pure genius on so many levels!! I so wish I’d thot of that!)
My username is not one you’d recognize since my forum activity has consisted of only occasionally starring liked posts of others. I guess that makes me more of a Lurker than Active Participant, just as IRL I’m typically more of a introverted Listener than a outgoing Talker.
While I arrived too late to the Meh party to be a Kickstarter, I have been a VMP & dedicated Buyer of Random Discounted Stuff for the past few years, as my collection of mostly yet-to-be-opened/put to use purchases attests. (TBH tho, I’d have to say that, as time goes by & products offered seem to be less unique/useful/appealing, it does become increasingly difficult to justify continuing the $5- monthly VMP subscription.)
Whiiich brings me to the Topic du Jour: “Do U Deserve a (FREE) FUKO?”… While I could rattle off a list of numerous challenges Life presently confronts me with, no doubt everyone’s Life presents challenges in varying degrees & configurations, so I’m really not the type to throw a Pity Party for myself or beg for Charity.
On my own behalf, I’ll say this tho… Lately, I’ve taken to reminding myself of the impending Stroke of Meh-night (12:00am/EST) with just a single phone alarm @11:58 (vs multiple rmdrs @11:50, 11:55, etc). So as it happened on the nite the FUKO dropped, my 11:58 alarm chimed, (& based on prev nite’s forum disc re Meh’s B-day & likely Fuko) ONLY In That Moment did it Dawn on my very tired/distracted Brain that “O-FUK, I have all of $1.98 in the account presently set as Meh payment method!!”
Even as I scrambled to grab my wallet/alt Debit card from the other room, I had this sinking feeling from the realization that there was no way I could update in time. In short I was FUKKED!
Sure enough, the glorious FUKO of Desire materialized on-screen above the tantalizingly cheap $5- price. Clicking frantically, I tried to navigate the maze leading to the final Buy-screen (hoping to update Pymt Info then), but NoDice. Ultimately, my efforts led to the all-too-familiar message saying:. “We wanted the morning crowd to have a shot at these too, so we’re holding back some of these until 8am EST.”
Now, after literally Years of Trying to score Fuku/Fukos, (succeeding only twice) the fact that this would actually be the Last. FUKO. EVER. made it’s acquisition even more compelling than ever before.
So, I knew I’d have to try again in the, ugh, m-o-r-n-i-n-g. (To say that I am NOT a Morning Person is a Supreme Understatement. I’m nearly 100% Vampire/NightOwl, just ask any of my ex-GFs. In fact the ONLY way I’m Up @8am, is IF I’m STILL UP @8am.) Setting not only Multiple Alarms, but also a second Phone as well as a Tablet, ready to just Refresh & Click BUY, I updated Payment Info/Verified and crashed hard for a few hours.
Bleary-eyed and yawning my way towards conciousness, I dutifully awoke to the multiple Alarms and confirmed that all was in readiness for this Next Attempt at Fuko-Glory. Secondary phone & Tablet tethered to my Smartphone @65mbps, check. All browsers pointed to meh.com, ready to Refresh, check. Cat-like reflexes coiled & ready to spring into action, despite only a few hours of Zzzzzz’s, not so much, but whatevs…
For at least the full minute before 8am, I kept continually refreshing all three browsers, to pounce asaFp. Then it was game on! Trying repeatedly to click Buy & get thru the Captcha to the Final BuyItAlready button on three devices simultaneously, I almost dared to hope that I might have a chance.
After a dizzying number of spins on the “R U a Robot?” \ NO I’M NOT!! MehryGoRound (following a NoPic Captcha completion), I got the dreaded “We’re SOLD OUT except for a small amount we set aside for existing VMP members to be released at 4pm ET.” Now 8:02am. FRAK!!
And here’s where the perceived value of my VMP comes in… Going back to the AprilFoolzFUKO\meh-rathon earlier this year, I struggled thru all the same Exercises in Frustration only to be met with the same Push-Me-2-the-Verge of RageQuitting precipice I once again found myself at.
Then, as I desperately hoped would be the case now, the 4:00pm VMP-only slot proved to be my Saving Grace. After staying awake All Night from 12midnite with the Meh-rathon to 8am, and then thru the full day of April 1st (Easter Sunday), I finally managed to snag my 2nd FUKO ever at 4:00! (So, YAY!)
Once again, hoping against hope, I readied the same 3 device parallel setup to get this Very Last FUKO. Once again, as the appointed VMP-only hour of 4:00 arrived, I threw myself into a click-storm of singular effort: to buy the Final FUKO.
Trying frantically like the crazed madman I had become, I was in disbeleif when @4:01, “Oops. Sorry we’re SOLD OUT.”
NOOO!!! WTaF?? How can this be? All of my earnest efforts were for naught?!? Apparently so. Inside of 1 minute, all 1,000 available Fukos were gone! So much for the last-resort buyer’s benefit of VMP status.
After some time had passed, with the overwhelming urge to rage-quit mostly subsiding, I reflected on this all. How was I this upset about not getting some stupid Fuko bag of misc junk, even if it was the Last One so-named? This frustration (or my Meh-diction, for that matter) was not something I could hope to ever effectively explain to friends or family, or myself for that matter.
Nonetheless, I continued checking each midnite thereafter, in hopes of another chance to Buy the Last FUKO. So Tues nite/Weds am, what to my wondering eyes should appear? Another FUKO Bag bundled with a meh t-shirt, which I bought quicker than you can spell “J-u-s-t K-i-d-d-i-n-g!!”
Of course, upon actually taking the time to read the product description, this was, in fact, just an Empty FUKO Bag & Tee. Realizing that, I debated on Cancelling the Order, but then did not. Last chance to grab a soon-to-be-extinct actual Meh FUKO bag, even if Empty, I consoled myself.
But, as another commenter observed, this substitute purchase is not only literally Empty, but leaves a Feeling of Emptiness (loss?) figuratively speaking as well. Just not the same…
Sooo, after much blah-blah-blah-ing above, the punchline is: Not gonna Beg, Can’t empirically Say that I Deserve one More than the Next Person, but hey, IF you feel like sending a Free Final FUKO my way, I would greatly appreciate it!! (If NO, well then, meh, Life goes on anyway… meh!)
[TL;DR-- Gr8 job on 4th B-day week, Staff & Mehtizens!! Only ever got 2 Fuku/Fukos despite trying like crazy for years. No longer getting much from VMP, hoped (in vain) it would pay off in last 4:00pm VMP-only offering, for the Last FUKO Ever. NOPE. Oh well. A Freebie Final FUKO would be cool. Or Not. Ur call. Thx either way…]
@ChadP Thanks @ChadP… Much appreciated!!
Also thanks to @nolrak for being the only other person to read such a crazy long-winded post (besides me), & comment! TY!
I deserve a fuko because I’m the biggest whiner for not having gotten one. Heck I even started a thread to invite other whiners to join me- misery loves company and I’m providing a valuable service. But please please pleeeeaaase put me out of my fuko-less miserable life. I’d be just as happy with a box of junk just to say I “scored” a fuko.
@msmay Watch out - you just gave a reason why you shouldn’t get one so you can continue your valuable service to the whiner community . Looks like your edit window is still open LOL
All i can say is I haven’t gotten one in years…I try every time but fail. I don’t bitch and moan, I just move on to the next day. Maybe things will be different with the next ones, but for now I would like to be able to say that I got one during the first Fuko and the last Fuko Sale, but only you can do that…
I believe you should absolutely not send me a Fuko. I have tried several times and even though I login at exactly midnite, on the Fuko days, there is always either a connection issue, some credit card issue or I’m simply a millisecond too late. As upset as I may get at that moment, I realize now that it was the gods smiling on me and keeping from the disappointment and misery that comes in that jaunty red box (or bag, again, never seen one first hand). Sometimes you don’t realize how lucky you are to not get your wish.
Getting one now would completely negate the state of peace I have attained, knowing that I have been shielded from the horrible sense of regret that I have seen expressed again and again in this community by so many unlucky recipients.
Once again, please do NOT send me a Fuko, lest I become jaded and feel compelled to go on the forum to commiserate.
I am so impressed by all who honestly said they don’t deserve a Fuko. I include myself in that group and why I hadn’t added my name to this list prior. It sure would be a special treat to receive one if MEH still feels the need to be generous.
@hanzov69 That “Hanz de fuko” sounds just like all those cat t-shirts @narfcake posts. Thus it means the plan is that some cats will win (especially since on another thread at least one dog won and if the cats of the world unite… well just sayin…). Right @chadp?
I said last week that the cats were sad because they only had three boxes to play in between the seventeen of them. They got no joy.
And since today is trash day, they no longer have those three. Poor things. (Yeah, they own this house, they don’t need no boxes.)
Sad Phoebe is sad that her box is gone. (Phoebe is our kitty who pulled out her stitches after she was spayed and eviscerated herself while at the vet’s overnight for recuperation; luckily it was still pretty fresh when the vet got there and he put everything back in place and stapled her back up. That was 14 years ago.)
So, back in the day I would stalk woot hardcore for the bandoliers of carrots and never managed to score one. (I came very close a couple of times, but it would always time out during check-out.) Now that I have a kid, remembering to camp out on the off chance that I could get a fuko is nigh impossible. Someday I will get a package full of random crap. I’m trying to keep hope alive!
Man, hard to say I “deserve” one, like it’s an unalienable right from the almighty creator. I’m not generally a socialist, who feels that I am owed something I didn’t earn. I guess what that means is “have I 'earned one?”. Well, I like to think so. I’ve been a VIP member since it was a thing. I’ve gone many months not buying anything or realizing any benefit from my VIP status…I’d love to see an additional benefit given to me in the form of a Fuku/Irk package. Furthermore, I’d love it to be something rediculous, because that will most annoy my spouse…imagine a pallet of something showing up…classic after 21 years of marriage (tomorrow actually).
Do I “derserve” another fuko? I say I do, because I only got two of them gifted to me by staffers. Isn’t there a rule somewhere where good questionably bad things come in threes?
@lichme I remember the time way way way back in the beginning when I got a phone call from a trucking company and two hours later I had 200 pair of psychedelic glasses delivered on two pallets
@Kidsandliz Not sure yet, I’m at work. Had my wife take the pic (and bring them inside). I think I have 2 more coming. One has some weird dimensions that I’m not sure are accurate (43x20x6) with a 1Lb placeholder
Also, I think your second post was supposed to be directed at @capguncowboy
@capguncowboy@lisaviolet I got awarded another one yesterday as well under the tattoo post, although that one isn’t entered either. Indeed, the amount of work that went into this was crazy. Kudos to meh.
I’ve never gotten one before. My brother says they’re pretty cool. And if this is the last of the fuko’s then this might be my last chance. So…pretty please? (With a cherry on top. I hope you like those. Otherwise you can trash the cherry and replace it with whatever you like)
Well, it took me forever just to figure out how to add a comment. Now, if you think I will ever be able figure out how to get, or give a Fuko for the matter, you should probably be 573.001’d! I’m incapable of doing this on my own. PLEASE, PLEase, PLease, for the love of all that is holy, bless me with a Fuko. 573.001- penal code for involuntary commitment to a mental ward.
I’m a kickstarter and been vmp since the beginning. Missed getting one of the first original fuku’s when they first came out. Ever since that historical day I’ve been here every night at 11, F5’ng for my life.
Since this was the last fuko I’d hoped to at least get one to be apart of history. Pulled another all nighter waiting for the vmp chance to get one of the last bags, but I was slowed down due to a nasty ole captcha and missed out again. Sooo, I’ve been checking my history everyday in hopes that meh’be a mistake might have happened in my favor and there’d be a fuko being shipped to my address. If your feeling really really generous and just want to do a surprise shipment to someone… here I am groveling.
I’m feeling a bit left out with everyone getting more Fukos. I know I’ve not been as attentive only getting one “final” Fuko at 7am on Meh’s birthday. I enjoy my sleep and have a job, two things that are working against me for getting another Fuko. But here I am, sitting on the crapper multitasking and sort of begging.
Maybe next time you’ll play along and we can see your tattoo artistry (a couple of Mehmbers got actual, real tattoos…people are crazy!), shirt designs, entertaining information, cake baking/decorating skills, selfies with a meh friend (or your cat or your dog or a drawn picture of yourself…)
Yes.
@ThomasF …
@ChadP Yes.
@ChadP Where’s my damn Fuko, Chadley.
@ThomasF
If you really want a box of junk, I can EASILY arrange that.
@PlacidPenguin @ThomasF Yes placidpenguin has a number of mehexchange boxes sitting ready to go. I believe I saw elsewhere about 4 or 5 in a closet.
@Kidsandliz @ThomasF
I had 7 + the box I won’t talk about.
I’m down to 6 + the box I won’t talk about.
@PlacidPenguin curiouser and curiouser that box that you won’t talk about… that would be the one you are sending that person we won’t talk about either?
@Kidsandliz
No. This box will most likely be forced upon some unwilling Mediocre employee.
Fukos are disappointing.
What better way to get payback against an innocent penguin (me to be more specific) than to send him disappointment?
@PlacidPenguin Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention.
@ChadP
Thanks!
Yes. Because I got a permanent freakin’ tattoo. :’)

I have more, but I thought we were taking turns making fun.
I got one in the sale. But hey, who doesn’t think they deserve more? I tried on some of the threads, but to no avail lol! And, I can’t even find someone to take a selfie with. Story of my life, no one wants to even pretend to like me…not even to get a fuko lol. Now I’m sad. And on the verge of crying…at work! So I’m risking getting in trouble for being on my phone and sad…I’d say that deserves some extra fuko love. Mehbe
@savvysapphire
Fly to my area and I’ll help you with the selfie.
@PlacidPenguin I would. But I cannot afford to fly anywhere. Nor could I take the time off from work at the moment. I literally drove to Myrtle beach for vacation last week…and ended up with two flat tires and having to spend an emergency night in a hotel. Pretty much went broke doing that. See, even my vacation sucked!
@savvysapphire
So what you’re saying is that if not for that vacation, you’d have considered flying in for a selfie…
(Heads up: The last selfie I took was in the result 2000s before they were even called selfies.)
@PlacidPenguin Yes, yes I would. I like to explore new places. I’m sure I’d find something interesting where ever it is that you are lol!
@savvysapphire
Ha!
I’m almost tempted to make this a real offer:
If you could find 5 exciting things (which aren’t good related) in my area, I’d personally send you a box of miscellaneous
junkitems.@PlacidPenguin ohhh! Game on! Where do you live. I’ll start seeing what there is lol
@savvysapphire
I said ‘almost’.
Although…
@PlacidPenguin lol!
@savvysapphire I did a selfie with someone else from the community via facetime. Just sayin’
I think @gnol maybe deserves all the Fuks you can give.
@gnol @ruouttaurmind Was @gmail in an accident or something? I want to ask how they ended up losing all but one finger on their hand but I don’t want to be rude.
@Gmail @gnol @ruouttaurmind Crap, I meant to whisper that to you.
Because I is kind, I is smart and YOU are important?
If you think you deserve a Fuko, does that make you a fatalist?
@BillLehecka
Because I love disappointment so much! I have shared this love of disappointment with all my family members (and there are like 17 of us!)
Really do love the bags, have one loaded up for our weekend trip already!
@raccoon81
@ChadP why thank you kind sir! You are a gentleman and a scholar… well, as far as I know!
I pretty sure I haven’t pestered a certain someone about the lack of catshirts offered here in … hours! That’s deserving of a Fuko, right?

Bro. I shaved my cat Bob last week because it’s hot. I’m basically a saint. So I deserve at least one Fuko.

I already won one, but I DID kill Hyrum the Singing Cowboy off. Isn’t that worth something special?

@matthew I’m still waiting for my invitation to be a guest crooner on a singing cowboy video
@matthew
Though we may need to have some Dance Party: A Pile of Earthworms videos as well.
I’ve not gotten a fuko. And I doubt I’ll get an IRK when you start sending them.
But TECHnically, since you just sold the LAST of the Fukos, and you just created (but haven’t sold any) IRKs yet, I guess I’ll be getting a Fuko-Irk, or hybrid of the past and the future.
TIA for sending me my mehbrid gift. I promise I won’t ask for another one… since this is the only one of its kind, since I just coined the term.
@Technologist
I will send you $5
@salaosantiago haha

My current fuko count is “0”. Thanks to the generosity of @ChadP I been gifted with two. It’s more satisfying earning them then playing the “captcha” game.
Live long and Prosper @ChadP!
“I’ve”
@mfladd And here I thought @ChadP just wasn’t giving me another one for my awesome posts because he already gave me one a couple days ago. Turns out, my posts just aren’t that funny.
@ChadP @lichme I find you amusing, but I don’t give out fukos, so you probably don’t care
One of them I wasn’t even trying - it was just a comment that he fuko blessed.
@mfladd “been working on the railroad, all the live-long day” with @pooltoywolf
@mfladd @PooltoyWolf CRAP, the replies don’t fall below the comments to which they belong…
@llangley @PooltoyWolf Haha, I was wondering what that was all about.
@llangley @mfladd Accurate. I’ve literally worked on the railroad in the past
Cuz the only way I’m ever going to get one is due to your generosity/sympathy/cruelty.
@compunaut You don’t check your orders page often, eh?
@Targaryen
Hmmmmm. Do I deserve a Fuko? I guess it depends on whether receipt of a Fuko is a gift or a punishment.
If it is a gift, then yes I deserve a Fuko as I am generally a good person. I was on a SW flight last week, sitting in an aisle seat with the door about to close, when a 8-10 year old boy sat down next to me. I assumed that he was traveling by himself as they hadn’t asked anyone to give up their seat. After we took off the boy’s mom came back to check on him. I gave her my seat so that she could sit next to her son and took her middle seat.
If it is a punishment, then yes I deserve a Fuko as I am generally an evil person. Several people in my office stalk electronic calendars, opening every meeting entry and then gossiping and/or starting rumors to get everyone else in the office worked up. Before I left on vacation I had invited several people to a “secret meeting”. It was talked/obsessed about at length the entire time I was out. Since it was such a rousing success I have now sent out an invitation for a “classified conference”. But this time I added an agenda…as in I created a fake agenda in Word and changed the font to Wingdings3. My original thought was that whoever opened it would see that they had been played when they changed the font back, but I discovered that you cannot change the font back to something legible after it was attached to the calendar entry…instead it changes everything to boxed question marks. So now someone is going to have to solve the agenda like a Cryptoquip…only to read…BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE!!! evil laugh

@ChadP Making me cry - darn hormones! Thank you!
For no reason at all. I just wanted to post something because I’m bored. It’s hot, although not as hot as last week at this time, my sleep has been off, because heat.
Spent the morning on the sofa snoozing and the cats kept climbing on me. Did you know normal cat temperatures are 100.5° to 102.5°? Get OFF!
Here is a video I made to prove a point over on these here forums a cuppla years ago. My first (and only, so far) Meh video.
Wait, we’re allowed to get more than one from games? Psh I’m gonna go play them all now, lol! But really, I just got (my first ever) BOC on woot too, and I’m REALLY excited to put the two head to head and establish that Meh is the coolest one. I wouldn’t argue if you wanted to double your odds of winning.
@Jamileigh17 You still have 24 hours to get your Irk tattoo! Just a suggestion
@mfladd If it wouldn’t be my first tattoo, I very seriously would consider putting a Meh on me. But I want my first one to be meaningful.
OK I could make the case that Meh got me through a really shitty job cause I could wear their shirts every day for months when I was so burned out there… Hmm. Wonder if the place my roomie gets his done could fit me in tomorrow? He has an oncology appointment, and it’d involve going to an area of town I’m not really familiar with by myself. Still worth the ponder though.
@ChadP I tried so very hard to get one this time, especially since it is the last one of its kind and I’ve gotten hung up in captchas so many other times. I’m trying to console myself with the plain bag and shirt I purchased, but it’s leaving me feeling empty and hollow.
Could you imagine the joy and surprise we’d feel when I and my three children (who happen to have multiple disabilities - this is true) open that package from Meh and find it stuffed full of all kinds of glorious products from Meh? It’d be a Meh-ricle here, what an unexpected blessing that would be!
It’s been two years since I last got one and we’ve only ever gotten two of them (
2 and 
11). Please warm this widowed momma’s heart by granting our request. Thanks for the generous offer!
@cwolfpack3 deserves one much more than I ever would.
@mdrcoast I love you, buddy!
@cwolfpack3 should get TWO Fukos. Yes, she’s that deserving.
@lordbowen LB, you are so very sweet, thanks for your kind words!
@cwolfpack3
@ChadP Thank you!!
@ChadP This is so awesome, it’s worth saying twice! Thank you!!!
Nope I don’t, I have some coming my way.
But I do owe thanks to all the mehployees for the fukos, fun and forums. Happy birthday.
no.
@sohmageek
@ChadP you are a kind soul @chadp but I said it to make you laugh.
(I’m worried you are returning that favor!)
You are a great person @ChadP, especially today.
@peterto
@ChadP I am both excited and aroused.
Holy shit! I just received email confirmation that my two gifted fuko orders were already placed. That is the fastest prizes I think meh has ever given.
@mfladd Now you have to stop bitching.
@mfladd Yes as @sammydog01 is right. You got TWO of them T.W.O.!!!
@Kidsandliz @sammydog01 Nope. Bitching is inherently fun for me. I will just have to find another topic
@mfladd You can bitch about your kids. That’s what I do. By the way check out Matthew’s video for how to portage a canoe like a real man.
@mfladd @sammydog01 I am a little late to this party but portage a canoe (saw his video). I used to work for Outward Bound and my “worst” portage was 7 miles (stupid kids were SITTING in the portage trail and missed it so took the road and we couldn’t tell them as they were on their final expedition but OMG did we hint!) with the 90 pound canoe and a food pack that was likely about 60-70 pounds (typically they were more like 110 so I was lucky). At the time I weighed about 123. Luckily I still have functioning knees after routinely portaging close to my body weight for months.I used to be able to flip it up to my shoulders with the keel resting on my thighs. There is no way I could do that now.
I am not a robot, indeed I am not,
yet Meh insists, I am some sort of bot.
Clicking “not a robot”, is never enough
then I am forced to select, from all kinds of stuff.
If the captcha pics, were clearer to see,
I might be faster choosing a sign from a tree.
And is the sign’s post considered a sign
or is it to confuse, by intentional design?
Then after my best efforts, I am told,
sorry too late, they’ve all been sold.
So for all of the captchas that I’ve been thru,
I feel like I’ve failed, but somehow due.
Especially this, the last one you know,
would be a nice bonus to get a Fuko.
Happy Birthday to all, MEH and IRK
now send me a Fuko for all my work!
@batteries most excellent!
@batteries
@ChadP Does this mean I am getting a Fuko? If so, thank you and how will I know? Will tracking show up in my orders?
@batteries seems a bit like discrimination to me. Why can’t robots have Fukus? If I am sentient and a robot, does Meh think I am inferior just for not being organic.
Meh can be so bigoted against robots at times. They need to get with the 21st century… Not all of us are made of meat anymore.
@batteries @OnionSoup
https://meh.com/forum/topics/do-you-deserve-a-fuko#5b48f338cfb032008c0c7e0a
@lichme I have to ask. How do you pronounce your name? I always see it and say “lick me”. Is that right? It always makes me laugh.
Because “lick me”.
I deserve a Fuko because I shared this picture with you.
@Nate311 You must be desperate.
@Nate311 pretty cool pic.
@Barney I just don’t get enough opportunities to share this picture. I send it to friends on their birthdays. I suppose meh is some sort of friend.
@Nate311
@ChadP
Woo-hoo?!
I got one from the generous you earlier today, thank you.
Do I deserve one is another matter. I would have to say nope. I lurk more than contribute most of the time. I have at least peeked in here all but a few days but fail to be active except in short bursts. I enjoy the community forum and the fun wide range of discussions.
Happy, happy birthday Meh. Looking forward to the next year as you leave the toddler years and head towards preschool.
@ChadP Do you spy on me? I am convinced it must be. My husband was going to buy me one of those sharks. Are you trying to tell me something? You are personality packing each and every one, right? I think I need more tin foil.
(Thank you
)
@ChadP @speediedelivery Do ya think I’ll get a new right hip in mine?
That would be just awesome!
Just kidding, you getting a shark is kind of spooky.
@ChadP @lisaviolet I have to move now.

It would be something to get that hip. Don’t wait too long. Mom did and had extra problems because she didn’t have enough good bone left.

UFO Detector or Tin Foil Hat
Price: $8.99 - $72.99
Condition: Probably New
Got it this time. Typing on this phone sucks.
@ChadP @lisaviolet This is getting beyond tin foil. I was looking for cheap aa batteries yesterday for the cat toy. All I found was aaa. Now I don’t know what to do. I only needed 4 now and maybe a few spares.
/8ball Should I buy that many batteries?
Better not tell you now
/8ball That was not helpful. Am I being watched?
Outlook good
I knew it!
Because it’s my birthday too?
(13th)
tbh, I already won.
I can’t say I deserve one, but I would like to see what’s in one. I’m the board’s only resident pooltoy, does that count? :B
@PooltoyWolf
@ChadP For me?? Awww, you’re too kind!
Bath
@heartny You just lost your chance, I think.
@heartny
@Barney I never had a chance, so I had nothing to lose.
@heartny Sure, you’ve got a chance! Good luck!
@Barney Maybe I should have said ‘Purple’ instead of ‘Bath’? Then I might have had a chance
@heartny Yep, you messed up.
@heartny
@ChadP Thanks for the Fuko! I was confused by the 2 gifs and thought maybe you giveth and then taketh away, but lo and behold I got a shipping notice. Yay! Looking forward to receiving a Roomba. Or not.
This is my dog, Brownie. He is blind and also missing an eye. I refer to him as, “Brownie, the Blind Pirate.” He loves getting random crap in the mail. Before he went blind, he knew delivery boxes meant treats or toys. He still gets super excited when the UPS or FedEx man comes by.
Please, please, Meh…send this old dog one last Fuko!!
(Potential disappointment will only be experienced by the hooman, as Brownie gives zero fucks about destroying anything he deems a toy)
@bramby2 You might try your plea in the current why do you deserve a fuko thread.
@Kidsandliz
I thought this was the “Do you deserve a Fuko?” thread…
@bramby2 you, me, and everyone else in this thread.
@bramby2 @Ignorant Well I am a dork. Sorry about that. I was tired (am at mom’s doing lots of things for her and sit in the lobby for internet), skimming the forums due to lack of time to really read them and didn’t realize I had switched threads and was reading a different one. Oops. Oh wait. It is the goat’s fault.
@bramby2 hi, Brownie! You look like a wonderful pal.
@bramby2
@Ignorant @Kidsandliz this is absolutely all the goat’s fault!!
@ChadP Woof. Woof. Woof! (Woof-woof.)
Translation from Brownie’s hooman: THANKS! (The rest was directed at me personally and involved a protest poop, so it doesn’t need to be posted)
This is like costco samples. It’s not like anyone deserves them, but free crap is free crap and people will act differently for it. Of course I’m the idiot that paid 5 dollars plus shipping for the same crap. Not sure which is worse.
@evilstan60
Nah, unless it has a speaker dock in it. Mom loves those speaker docks, she has 'em all over the house. She loves listening to music, dad is pretty much deaf now, and I don’t live there. lol
@clonetek …I’m conflicted here…there is a lot to take in with this one.
@clonetek
@ChadP Thank you, but @ThomasF is sending me one from a different thread!
Once upon a time i tried for a fuko on a crappy connection, trying to identify signs or some other Trees or cars or whatever. Believe it or not I failed to be able to waste 5.00 bucks. So maybe I should thank you for the trickery to eliminate my purchase. After that I never tried again. I read in the forums about the multitudes of Meh shoppers that failed in the Fuko Olympics. Do I deserve one ? No but I would like to get one and free is much better than spending 5 bucks.
/giphy 5 bucks
@cattylaq
Between @ChadP’s generosity and being rewarded for my new Fuko name contribution, I have been beyond fortuitous this week. Considering so many other things in life have been pretty shitty lately, I really couldn’t be more thankful for what I already have coming. Thanks to everyone at meh!
I don’t know that I deserve a Fuko, but I’d like one. I made a traditional family birthday cake (peach and blueberry crunch with ice cream) and uploaded photos with help from people who are much cooler than me. I get to prove I’m not a robot a lot, so I’m not very good at getting through the Fuko hurdles. I’ve got lots of teenagers and most will tell you that my coolness quotient is minimal, but my dogs like me so there’s that. I’m also a long timer, Kickstarter and VMP.
TL;DR - probably not deserving, but it’s been a difficult summer and would make this a better day to hear that one was coming.
@rm9116
@ChadP Thank you! Friday the 13th is a lucky day for me and I appreciate your (and Meh’s) generosity.
Do I deserve one probably not, I am married with 3 kids. Every single day I wake up with disappointment. Shity diapers annoying wife broken coffee machine… On second thought I’ll take a sympathy one
@paulderlunas …I mean…I like my wife and my kid, even though he poops in his underwear everyday…I’m not sure I can give you much sympathy.
@paulderlunas
Fuk? Nah. But you could send me a new HVAC system if you’re feeling THAT generous.
@ruouttaurmind That would require a full back meh/Irk tattoo.
@mfladd Ha! You think @ruouttaurmind doesn’t already have that?
@Ignorant Not yet, but for a new HVAC, I certainly would consider it.
@ruouttaurmind Can you send me one first?
@ChadP Absolutely! I was wondering what to do with the one that’s on the roof right now. And here’s the instant solution landing straight into my lap.
It’ll be just like getting your very own Fuk, complete with defective electronics and all!
Yes, 19 of them to heal the pain missing out on all of the others.
@makhay
@ChadP I await kind sir.
Well I finally opened up the very very tight wallet last week to pop my meh cherry… No better way to celebrate then with a fuku.
@reg036
Everyone who has ever made a purchase and posted a note deserves one!
That is a fact!
@Cerridwyn That seems excessive.
@ChadP
/image meh
I mean I don’t know that any of us DESERVE one, but I’m not above begging…does that help?
@tinamarie1974
@ChadP YYYEEEEESSSSSS!!! THANK YOU!!!
I don’t deserve a Fuko, but it would be nice to have one- I’ve also been a VMP since inception, and served as goat previously.
Thank you for your consideration, and a very happy birthday to Mediocre, Meh, and all of the future projects!
@dashcloud - You’re hired!
And you do so deserve a funky fantastic fuko.
@dashcloud
Maybe offer them up to the VMPs who never got one.
I’ve gotten lucky a few times so have personally experienced the sheer thrill it is to have nabbed one. (ok…maybe sheer thrill is a little excessive, so let’s just go with thrill!)
No one deserves anything.
@SpocKirk not true as some people deserve what they get or don’t get for that matter.
@AttyVette @SpocKirk I read somewhere once (I think it was on the dedication page of a Lawrence Block novel) “Even the wicked get worse than they deserve.” (I also see that the quote is from pulitzer prize winning book “One of Ours” by Willa Cather, if the internets are correct).
I had a point, but now I’ve forgotten it
@SpocKirk
@ChadP I knew eating those Lucky Charms for breakfast would cancel out Friday the 13th!
@ChadP Soooo… I got my shipping confirmation. Thanks again!
This extremely generous outpouring of crap has convinced me to become a member!
@ChadP @SpocKirk
I really need to complete my deep space nine vhs collection. So you could shoot one my way in hopes of making this dream come true.
@SteveOOO You’ll want to post in the “Who Deserves a Deep Space Nine VHS Collection” Thread.
I wouldn’t say I deserve one but I would LOVE to buy one!
— I’ve been a VMP Member since I discovered MEH over 2 years ago. I’ve placed many orders on MEH and Morningsave. I guess you could say I’m a faithful Member! LOL! 
@spurnky Mehmber…no Fuku for you!
@mehbee fuko! No fukos for either of you!
@Ignorant Boy I flip flopped those for sure! I’m hanging my head in shame
@ChadP – WOW! Thanks so much for the FUKO! I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am. You are AWESOME!
nah
Although recently I hit my 1000 click milestone!
@jmoor783
@ChadP omg thanks
So here is the thing, as a grad student I have very little “excitement” in my life, I spend days reading about things that the common person would not even look at. I need a good diversion from the hum drum of my existence. Now does anyone really deserve a bag of regrets? No not really but there is something about the excitement of getting a Fuko that everyone should experience, I have experienced it once, it was marvelous. So Meh, yeah I do deserve a Fuko, but so does everyone else who frequents your site on a daily basis. Help the community out, give us the gift that everyone wants, be Oprah for a day. EVERYONE GETS A FUKO. If that doesn’t work, I will happily accept one.
@bleedmichigan Although your Username makes me think that we are enemies…
@ChadP so Chad why are we enemies? Are you a fan of that state whom shall not be named slightly south of Michigan? On a side note are we talking a real Fuko will be arriving or is it just the GIF. I just want to set my expectations correctly.
I had a bunch of meetings in the morning Monday, so I missed the midnight offering so I could sleep. I was then driving at 8am to said meetings, so I missed the 8am offering. I was all set to try for the 4pm VMP offering and the President where I work called me into his office to go over some spreadsheets at exactly 3:50pm, so I had to miss the 4pm offering. Of course we finished at 4:05pm. At that point it was pretty obvious that I was not meant to get one that day. I don’t deserve one any more than everyone else, but I would like one just like everyone else!
@tinkertime Is it weird that I don’t believe you?
@ChadP Yes, it is weird that you don’t but that’s ok, I won’t hold it against you! Thank you kind man!! It’s been almost 2 years since I scored one, so much appreciated!! Happy Birthday meh!
I’ve tried many times. But I either get caught by the captcha, or just distracted at 11 and forget to check. Why do I deserve one? Ummm… Because I like disappointment? Because I secretly hide my purchases from my wife for a month or 2, then when she finds it, i just answer “Oh, meh ran that cheap”? or because I say please?
@regnowsin I should have mentioned yesterday was my birthday.
@regnowsin
@ChadP woohoo!
I deserve a Fuko!
I participate I’m this society thing to the best of my ability and work for everything that I get.
Does it matter? … Maybe … I’m not sure! All those things I get are exactly what I expect, but the Fuko is something that I don’t expect.
Let’s be honest. I don’t buy things from meh because I need them, but because I want to be a part of this society, too! It’s not just the clever words, deep witt or the sarcastic comments, it’s the…
Wait… yeah… uh, that’s the biggest part.
Please validate me! Let meh know meh place in the meh society is secure and let me be a part of the last Fuko bag ever!
Besides… I’ve already pretended that I got one and told all my friends about it… and I don’t want her to know that it was a lie.
@ChadP Okay, maybe I don’t deserve a Fuko now. Since my original post on why I deserve a Fuko, my life has been put on hold. I’ve stopped doing anything productive and have been checking the meh site repeatedly. Each time I check, I find myself wondering if I made the cut. Was I deserving enough? How would I know? Did ChadP reply to me?
Now my boss is in my office asking me why I’m not working and he’s standing over my shoulder reading this post.
I am finishing the post as I drive home for the day. At least I hope it’s for the day. I’m not really sure what he was saying as he walked me to my car.
PS. I had to write this post three times because I kept interrupting it to check and see if I got a Fuko…
@DemoMatrix Don’t post and drive.
I would settle for some more meh socks. Received the original VMP ones years ago but never got any in either of the 2 fukos I’ve managed to get.
@bruhaha No.
No, I do not deserve one, like others have also stated about themselves. However, I would like you to send me one of the last fukobukuros’. I tried to buy one when they were sold on Monday but failed to secure one. There is a saying that it is better to give than receive so I want to find out if true by your gifting me one tonight. Then we can both know if that saying is true. I am already thinking the saying might be true…
@insuranceman @ChadP- ok I had to tag myself so you’d get this and see the reference back to my previous response — I deserve one now as I regret originally saying I didn’t deserve one —still feeling generous??? Hope so
@insuranceman hmmmm. interesting timing.
Yeah, I deserve one!
Admittedly, I am mostly a lurker who enjoys reading along. I do find the quirky mix of people here, staff and public, to be endearing.
Being slow to the party most days, I only contribute if it looks like something not already mentioned.
I do share the website with others far and wide across this big, blue globe.
Despite having tried, was never successful at getting any of the Fuku/Fukos before. So if you are feeling generous, this one would be a first! Thanks for the consideration.
@oknekok
@ChadP I am so excited!
I’ve been working my butt off lately (sometimes 60 hour weeks with no overtime pay) cleaning up 2 decades of a mess from my coworker (uncovering more and more lately). I also just passed my 3rd year review, so halfway towards tenure (what an incredible stress relief that was). I just got back from my 6th work trip so far this year and gave my 6th major research presentation (including being a visiting scholar at another university which is very rare for pre tenure faculty in my field).
So… My wife is the one that truly deserves a fuko because she’s the true champ holding down the fort and supporting me through all of this. She’s an awesome mom too to our 2 and 4 year old boys (who are EXTREMELY energetic).
@luvche21 I get that you have six year-old boys, but why do you divide them into groups of two and four? Maybe, if you keep them all together, they’ll be easier to manage.
It must have been one heck of a pregnancy…
@Limewater fair point, but it was a test to see who could do math this early in the morning.
@luvche21 What is your job? It seems action-packed.
@ChadP I’m a… wait for it… librarian! Which doesn’t sound very action packed, but it’s lent to a lot more travel than I ever thought there would be (especially with the film music research I’m getting into).
/giphy conan the librarian
@ChadP aw man, I was really hoping for this gif:
I don’t and I think that’s exactly why I do.
@mattwillms
I really don’t think I deserve one. The one that I got in fuko history was pretty much a winner, all pretty decent items. Another fuko would just ruin my streak.
@jmnetus Let’s ruin that shit!
@ChadP what have i done
Been here since the new year and have finally figured out what fukos are just in time for their last call/rebirth. Took awhile but I have now dared to hit the meh button once, make my first purchases, establish my altruism score, make comments, send my first glitch report, and figured out the whole goat thing (i think). A fuko would be like a diploma from meh kindergarten
Happy mildly belated bday meh!
@alphabetress Half of all success is just showing up.
Well, no, I don’t deserve one, but what I would really & truly like is for meh to have something in place that would eliminate long time mehmbers having to argue with/prove to Captcha they are not robots.
I understand why meh uses that PITA hurdle (some people are shifty AF so this is why we can’t have nice things), but damn. Arguing with Captcha, along with not being able to see a car bumper or edge of a street sign on smaller screens, & Comcast being craptastic at the worst possible times finally made me stop trying. Yeah, I know. Sounds likes a personal problem.
Honestly, I’d send you five Georges just for an empty bag, but don’t tell my husband. He’s banned me from bringing home any more of those “tree hugger bags” as he calls them. Says they’re breeding like Tribbles.
@LaVikinga You can have the bag out of mine if you want. I’ll even let you keep your Georges
@LaVikinga or maybe no CAPTCHA for kickstarters or VMP, obviously we paid/pay to be here
@LaVikinga what are Tribbles?
@LaVikinga @moonhat Never heard of tribbles, what are you a Klingon or something?!
KuoH
@moonhat Furry critters from Star Trek
/giphy tribbles
@capguncowboy That’s very, very kind of you! I’ll take you up on the offer! It’s weird the stuff that catches the eye and tells the brain You really want & NEED to have this in your life. Kinda like my Dalek & TARDIS salt & pepper shakers and way too many Woot & Meh deals.
@tinamarie1974 I was hoping the Internet Wizards would be able to find a workable solution, or invent a time machine/wayback machine that will make me younger.
@moonhat You must be a very young hat. We Olds who grew up on Star Trek reruns (the James T. Kirk ones) need to hip you to gloriously. good. bad. TV.
@kuoh Having to explain what a Tribble is feels like a knife in my ancient ticker.
@capguncowboy @kuoh @LaVikinga @moonhat i LOVE tibbles. I can’t imagine a world where people don’t know what they are!!
@capguncowboy @kuoh @LaVikinga @tinamarie1974 i apologize!! And I’m not a young hat at all, but my sci-if love was always V. (I even had a “V” scrapbook as a teenager
) And my semi scifi geeky hubby has always been a huge Stargate whore. I promise not to ask such bad (painful?) questions in the future…
@capguncowboy @kuoh @LaVikinga @moonhat you should always ask, that is how you learn! And in that vein, what is V? (Voyager? Sorry)
@LaVikinga
@ChadP Aw, that makes me feeling inside. (Or maybe that’s the coffee and salsa I had for lunch. Don’t judge. I was tired AND lazy.)
This looks like an extra special one: a Fuko that keeps on giving! The BEST kind!
@capguncowboy @kuoh @moonhat @tinamarie1974 I have a bad feeling I have sweaters older than all of you. I feel like a
@capguncowboy @kuoh @LaVikinga @moonhat You are only as old as you feel. Today I am about 15. It is a GOOD day so far
@ChadP @LaVikinga Now they really are breeding like tribbles!
KuoH
@ChadP @kuoh Only thing to top that here’s a fuko gif is one of The Oprah. “You get a Fuko! YOU get a Fuko! EVERYONE GETS A FUKO!!!” Sorta looks like dreams really do come true. Watching stuff like this happen is just one of the reasons I keep coming back to Meh every day to lurk. Meh is a happy place to hang.
@capguncowboy @kuoh @LaVikinga @tinamarie1974 how can you not know what V is? Mid 80’s miniseries (then short lived tv show), aliens come to earth pretending to be great but are stealing the water and are reptilian under their pretend skin. Good stuff, Maynard.
@capguncowboy @kuoh @LaVikinga @moonhat hhhmmmm I’ve got nuttin. The only mindblowing thing I remember from that time frame was that Boy George was a man and Annie Lennox was a woman…blew my mind lol
I’ll have to see if it is on Netflix or the like. Sounds good!
No but as it is my busy season and I have been working every day for the last month about 70 hrs a week I have not been able to compete in the contests and would like a fuko.
@CaptAmehrican
no
@DrWorm Alright, no problem. Moving on.
Do I deserve a Fuko, no. Do I want one, Yes. If you feel so generous to float me one I wouldn’t mind taking one
@stryper2000
@ChadP you sir are the MAN
I actually managed to buy one on the last round out…but I haven’t ever won one…so…yeah…I totally want one…but need or deserve…meh
@amehzinggrace
@ChadP Awww…if I still had pregnancy hormones floating in me I would cry…and come to think of it…that’s the same shirt I got randomly…only not my size…fate
Smartassery, not an entry response (I don’t trust you guys).
Gee, I got three already, but we have seventeen cats…not enough boxes to go around.
No one deserves a Fuko.
I mean, if you’re a bad person, you don’t deserve free stuff, even if it is a bunch of white elephantine junk.
If you’re a good person, you don’t deserve the plummeting let-down that follows the soaring excitement when transitioning from a freshly delivered, as yet unopened box of Fuko to an opened, inspected and inventoried Fuko.
Me? Never mind whether or not I deserve one, the Neighbors Who Care charity thrift shop, whom I gave the contents of my last (and only) Fuko to, doesn’t deserve another bag full of stuff that they’ll have trouble giving away never mind selling, to help fund their mission of “alleviating isolation/loneliness in seniors” living in my area.
As for me, I just implied that any Fuko I receive will be selflessly and altruistically given away to benefit lonely old people, when the truth is, in the unlikely event that the Fuko contains anything desirable, I’ll absolutely keep it for myself without a second thought. The old geezers can try to make a buck off of whatever undesirable junk is left over. Maybe they can tell an audience of Hubmen all about how their grandkids don’t visit them.
So clearly, I’m a bad person and don’t deserve any free stuff, even if it is useless junk - especially so because then I’ll just give it to charity and pretend that makes me a good person.
So, please don’t send me a Fuko; I deserve to get nothing and like it!
@DennisG2014 I do the same thing, except I just dump my garbage cans on my elderly neighbor’s front lawn.
@DennisG2014 what if I want you to keep it?
@ChadP
Woohoo! I mean, D’oh! I mean… 
Aw hell, I don’t know what I mean any more.
But, Jesus Murphy, Julian - that reverse fuckery of yours actually works! Deeecent.
Are the image and gif showing up in my comment above?
I was really hoping to get a star or two from fellow Trailer Park Boys fans.
@speediedelivery Thank you for your act of charity.
Meh ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@pyroguy7
@ChadP I appreciate it and shall celebrate your generosity by continuing to be apathtic about it
I guess there’s nothing in your statement that would suggest that this is open for people who won/purchased one or won/were awarded one in a contest.
Literally nothing.
and yet there is some small part of me (not that part, damn it!) that thinks "if I were to somehow obtain a third fuko would that increase my chances of getting something epic?
then I think “epically bad, most likely. you should quit while you are, if not ahead, at least not that far behind.”
so, in truth, I should not, been any normal measure, get one (more).
it should likely go to someone who is, not only more deserving, but, to this point, fuko-less.
unless you have so damn many of these things laying around you’re having trouble unloading them.
and it’s really starting to look that way . . .
@ekw We’ll see.
My sweet, sweet sister…you know her as @Trillian… is bragging constantly about her Fuko and will not stop harassing me until I win one.actual text of her harrasment in the interest of family harmony, maybe you could arrange something?
@Kthnxbyenow That text conversation looks very similar to one between me and @sprockett01
She’s just looking out for you, just like I look out for my loser of a brother.
/giphy laughing like a maniac
But is she really looking out for me?
If I get my own Fuko, what can she send me for my birthday ( I already have the seizure inducing trippy glasses)? @capguncowboy
@Kthnxbyenow Never Google later what you can Google now.
@ChadP @Kthnxbyenow Thanks for giving my little bother a Fuko, now I won’t have to buy him a birthday present this year!
But but but…I am your favorite little brother! @ChadP @Trillian
I’m getting married in 22 days… Getting a free one, would be a great disappointed prior to being stressed out from that…
@kawdrifter2000 What you need is fukos for the whole wedding party!
@medz Oh, I think they will all be pretty disappointed during the wedding without getting them. haha
@kawdrifter2000
Yes, Because I joined from Kickstarter, bought for a while and completely forgot about meh since. Totally deserve a fuko for being such a poor supporter?
@ryahope COMPLETELY FORGOT HOW DARE YOU THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE DON’T YOU EVER FORGET AGAIN DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME I’m a good parent
Yes. I already got one shipping to me now, but if I get another one shipped to the same address I might get “literal trash” according to the bullet points during the sale. I would love to share pictures of Meh garbage and I always have room in my trash can to dispose of it.

No. I’ve never bought a thing from your site from the years I’ve been lurking here, so I’ve just been drain on your severs. Buuuuut I’d really like one anyway, so I’ll just ask nicely. Please?
@Weboh You should probably buy something.
@ChadP But the only thing I’d be interested in is a fuko.
Maybe once I see how disappointing they are I won’t even want to buy that!
…And I’m not really helping my case. Oh well.
How about, if I get a fuko, I tell you how I got my username? It’s a pretty Meh® story, let me tell you.
Deserve one? Nope, didn’t do anything. Want one? Yup, I would like one.
@sassymango I can’t stop thinking about what an actual sassy mango would be like.

Hey I think we all should nominate @ChadP for Man of Meh Year- You are awesome Chad as we have witnessed in this thread Fukos of epic proportions! Meh hats off to you again for Meh Fuko and for all you gave out. Meh you always get what you Meh want @ChadP!
So if you post here you get a fuko? I guess I don’t NOT deserve to not get a fuko. Or do I? Not?
Look how slow I am. reward slackers. Or don’t. Meh.
@MrMark
You are so awesome, @ChadP. Playing Santa in July. I hope you had as much fun as we (I) did this week.
I don’t need a fuko since I was able to order one Monday.
But when I see this thread and @ChadP raining down fuko’s on all these poor people, I picture him a bit as Clint Eastwood with a fuko gun.
@zachdecker
/giphy pinky party cannon
@duodec @zachdecker Much more party cannon than Clint.
Considering I was able to purchase all but two (pretty sure) of the fukus and fukos along the way, earning them from my point of view, the only possible way I could ‘deserve’ another one would be as an entitlement, for being a Kstarter or long time VMPer or extended time Mediocre-er or to make up for the fact that I didn’t click that very first ‘meh’ on Kickstarter day or simply for posting here.
So thank you, but please consider providing a fuko to someone who tried and tried a lot but never got one. I’m entitled to that hope.
But if you have any more purple Fuko bags… I know someone who really, really likes purple (cough @Barney cough)…
@duodec
Aww…I, too, have been fortunate in snagging a number of fukus/fukos, and even though I happened to miss the meh purple bag Fuko, meh did send me a bonus purple bag with some meh swag.
This is such a great place – great staff and great mehmbers, including you. Take the Fuko that they are offering you, duodec. They seem to have an abundance of them.
I think they have been cleaning out the warehouse and have run out of dumpsters for their trash. So, they have to do something with it.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
@tinamarie1974 see? Remember maybe?
@moonhat I liked that show.
@moonhat @sammydog01 It had a cool moody opening theme.
My case is filled with gin.
@DrunkCat Then you won’t notice if a fuko is not in there?
@Kidsandliz That requires two cases.
I’ve never gotten one despite trying at least a dozen times. Looks like I’m too late again!
/giphy sad trombone
@meanjene
@ChadP
You guys are making me nervous. Please tell me you’re not liquidating your inventory and calling it a charitable donation to people with personality disorders?
It appears if I got one from my blindfolded Irk drawing. My little box shredder says thanks for the extra box! So now, I have to say maybe I no longer deserve an extra one lol! I mean unless you just want to send a bunch of cardboard for my box shredding angel… who leaves a huge mess for me to clean up lol!!
I wouldn’t want to force you to give one to me.
@aliciamarquis You get a star
Hopefully, a fuko too for that.
@aliciamarquis
I missed the arts and crafts challenge but the one full I received included a wooden box that once held ammunition. It smelled fantastic. I made it into a side table! It has storage!
@Panegyric
Pics or it didn’t happen!
@compunaut On it! it’s near the front of the things I haven’t unpacked in the new apartment… I think.
@Panegyric Waiting for these pics before making a decision here.
For all your hard work @chadp
@MrMark ONLY I DETERMINE WHO DESERVES WHAT…I mean…Thank you. That’s very kind of you.
Goat cat deserves a fuko - a cat oriented fuko - or at least one that comes in a cat “trap” sized box (aka the cat traps are working - all the boxes have cats in them) for her to play in, sleep in and then entertain herself with by destroying it piece by piece.
She stands guard like a
vulturegoat from the top of the door… She can keep me awake until the mehing hour so I click then and not later in the day when all hope of a fuko is gone.She has participated in the forums in several threads gracing them with her selfies and antics - for example:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/crazy-pet-photo-time#5996d7cccf5f5008e48dd95b
She butted into another thread
https://meh.com/forum/topics/birthday-game-selfies-selfies-selfies#5b463e6cde56eb00a53ebb89
(And fortunately she has no user name so she can’t be made goat because then I’d have to translate her meows into English and post for her
).
pictures goat cat
there once was a bag named Fuku
its contents were always quite cuckoo
“that’s no good!” it was said
“this bag, they should dread!”
so they changed it to Fuko, boohoo!
@nolrak
@ChadP
@ChadP
Meh had a staffer named ChadP,
Whose Fukos made everyone happy!
“Have a fuko” — hooray!
When the box comes, oy vey;
The contents are probably crappy
and now, the fuko haiku:
fukobukuro
i wonder what you contain
it’s probably crap
@nolrak
Oh it may well be
that nothing but crap resides
within flimsy bag
Yet hope unyielding
that someday, your fuko yields
Refurbished diamonds.
@duodec
Once-returned diamonds
Deemed defective when purchased
And returned to Meh
Only when resold
And sent back the second time
Can fuko have gems
@nolrak
For all but a few
There is such truth in your words
Yet lightning does strike
Huge gumball machines
Pallets of weird merchandise
Still new in their packs
A true lottery
Highest odds of nought but crap
But jackpots happen.
@duodec
Ah-ha, the fabled
Pallets and boxes of yore
That I have longed to receive
Winnings eluded
But ho! I can hope one day
Liftgate will arrive
Sadly I do fear
That truck unloading bounty
Will anger the wife
Things are actually going well at the moment. Maybe. Hopefully. So getting a shitty fuko would take me back to reality.
Hiiii Meh staff!
!
I did manage to
trick the systemprove that I was not a robot on time, so I purchased a Final Fukobukuro with my cold hard virtual cash…But alas, I have not managed to win a magical Mediocre Staffer gifted one. And I do love them so much, especially since I am in Canada, which means they end up going to my sister’s house in Virginia, so they get to partake in the silliness and joy of opening the shipments to see what they might contain. And then I get additional joy knowing that my sister is stuck with the stuff for at least a period of time until someone in our family is visiting her with a car
So, on behalf of this Canadian Meh-customer, thanks in advance if you choose to toss one my way, eh! (sorry)
@curtise
Shouldn’t you apologize for not getting a free one?
@PlacidPenguin Sorry! I did say sorry at the bottom there. Maybe I should have used some colour and centred it, eh? Sorry I wasn’t clearer for you, neighbour!
@curtise
Several things were worthy of you saying sorry for though.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@curtise Hey does Canada accept political refugees from the USA? Sigh.
@Kidsandliz there’s definitely a process for immigrating to Canada! And if you ever want to visit Toronto, let me know!
@curtise
Party in Toronto? When?
@PlacidPenguin whenever you can visit (unless I’m travelling at the time)!
@curtise I went to a small beach on lake Erie today. I got a text from my cell phone provider saying welcome to Canada. Are you taking over the lake and annexing the northern states?
@speediedelivery Shhhh!
You’re not supposed to let anyone else know… 
Seriously though, I’m surprised! American cell towers are usually SO much stronger that we start to get the Welcome to the USA messages when we are still many kilometres from the border.
I’m currently at a cottage (family’s) on a sound (Parry) on a bay (Georgian) on a great lake (Huron)
How was the lake (Erie), and what beach did you visit?
@curtise A little place a few miles from Presque Isle in Erie PA. The hatchery stocks trout in a stream there. I like it for the view.
@curtise You send me a Canadian Fuko, I’ll send you a Fuko (to a lower 48 US address)
@ChadP My address on file is my sister’s place, so yup. Lower 48. It’s kind of a challenge shipping stuff across the border (or else you’d be doing it, amirite
) but I can try to bring across and send you a Canadiana Fuko next time I am in the US if that works…
@curtise I mean, I do ship across the border. Mediocre on the other hand…
@ChadP Really? Isn’t it as cost prohibitively expensive to ship from the US to Canada as it is in the other direction?
If I wanted to ship you a 3lb box in similar dimensions to my last fuko (which was actually almost 16lb), the cheapest form of Canada Post’s parcel post would be almost $69.
UPS’s cheapest option would be about $62.
How about if I send an envelope with a promissory note entitling the bearer to a Fuko of Canadian stuff when I next visit? Or you know, you could just come chill with me here…
@curtise
Or @ChadP could send it to me, and I could have any of the numerous people I know who frequently visit Toronto, take it, and bring it to you.
@PlacidPenguin the problem isn’t how to get the Fuko to me - it goes to my sister… That’s part of the awesome ridiculousness of it… Mediocre stuff filling up her house in Virginia until someone from my family comes to get it!
The problem is getting the Fuko of Canadiana (or FoC) to @ChadP.
If one of your globally travelling friends wants to be my
mulecarrier of said box back to the USA, that would be super cool. Bonus points if they live near Meh HQ and I don’t have to actually pay to ship a box.@ChadP @curtise
Errr… Why are we sending a mule to Texas?
Pfft… Canadians.
@PlacidPenguin I was very clear that no mule would be sent!
@curtise
Got it. There will be no mule.
@curtise And there are carillons in Toronto!! Yea!
@Kidsandliz There are indeed! The guy my sister used to date a long time ago was one of the carillon programmers for the North York bells… Sadly they don’t get played properly anymore. Still a few fully played carillons in town though!
@curtise There is some festival in the summer where people come in to play. I played at Niagara Falls for several days then as the person who played there was in Toronto. You guys also had the communist china art exhibit there with a zillion cool things. I was at U of Rochester at the time and we took a road trip (with a bunch of my SE Asian friends - this was well before all the ICE stuff. One kid forgot his passport. We got into Canada and he very nearly did not get out. The exhibit was amazing.
Realistically, I just love taking pictures and writing up the unboxing. So if there’s anything dumb sitting around the warehouse that you want gone, but want pictures in a week or so to remind you of what you’ve gotten rid of, I’m your guy!
OH! And while you’re cleaning out the warehouse, if there are any pet related things, I’d love to donate them to the German Shepherd Rescue I work with
Meet our current foster Elsa (left), and my dog Bruno
May I please have one?
Thank you for your time.
Have a great day, and don’t let life bother you too much.
@thWookie
Isn’t this almost like asking
“Do you deserve a spanking?”
HeadphoneMic isn’t sure about this whole meh thing. But I could be persuaded.
thanks.
I got 3 reasons for ya Chad.
I just received my first fuko and posted the pics in the reveal thread. Hook a brotha up with a gifted one and I promise to keep the streak going.
I don’t think anyone has offered you some juicy positive karma, I am willing to send some your way.
My twin bro @blainechapa and I will cosplay as Irk and Glen if you send a couple.
@TexDragonSlayer first glance I read that as “I promise to keep the steak going” — I’ll bet the Powers could be convinced to give up a fuko or two in exchange for steak
@TexDragonSlayer Can I get in on the Steak @nolrak mentioned?
@ChadP @TexDragonSlayer mmm steak
/image steak
@ChadP @nolrak
Appreciate the hookup ChadP but I don’t seem to see anything in my orders, then again I haven’t had a free one before so I don’t know if we are even supposed to be able to see it.
Hey there, Meh staffers–
Just wanted to say Congrats on a very above-mediocre job on the various 4th B-day festivities this week! Clearly, much effort & creativity was applied to good effect, which is also true of the many Mehtizens who played along as well!! (Gotta say, new branding of the FUKO as the IRK/InstantRegretKit is pure genius on so many levels!! I so wish I’d thot of that!)
My username is not one you’d recognize since my forum activity has consisted of only occasionally starring liked posts of others. I guess that makes me more of a Lurker than Active Participant, just as IRL I’m typically more of a introverted Listener than a outgoing Talker.
While I arrived too late to the Meh party to be a Kickstarter, I have been a VMP & dedicated Buyer of Random Discounted Stuff for the past few years, as my collection of mostly yet-to-be-opened/put to use purchases attests. (TBH tho, I’d have to say that, as time goes by & products offered seem to be less unique/useful/appealing, it does become increasingly difficult to justify continuing the $5- monthly VMP subscription.)
Whiiich brings me to the Topic du Jour: “Do U Deserve a (FREE) FUKO?”… While I could rattle off a list of numerous challenges Life presently confronts me with, no doubt everyone’s Life presents challenges in varying degrees & configurations, so I’m really not the type to throw a Pity Party for myself or beg for Charity.
On my own behalf, I’ll say this tho… Lately, I’ve taken to reminding myself of the impending Stroke of Meh-night (12:00am/EST) with just a single phone alarm @11:58 (vs multiple rmdrs @11:50, 11:55, etc). So as it happened on the nite the FUKO dropped, my 11:58 alarm chimed, (& based on prev nite’s forum disc re Meh’s B-day & likely Fuko) ONLY In That Moment did it Dawn on my very tired/distracted Brain that “O-FUK, I have all of $1.98 in the account presently set as Meh payment method!!”
Even as I scrambled to grab my wallet/alt Debit card from the other room, I had this sinking feeling from the realization that there was no way I could update in time. In short I was FUKKED!
Sure enough, the glorious FUKO of Desire materialized on-screen above the tantalizingly cheap $5- price. Clicking frantically, I tried to navigate the maze leading to the final Buy-screen (hoping to update Pymt Info then), but NoDice. Ultimately, my efforts led to the all-too-familiar message saying:. “We wanted the morning crowd to have a shot at these too, so we’re holding back some of these until 8am EST.”
Now, after literally Years of Trying to score Fuku/Fukos, (succeeding only twice) the fact that this would actually be the Last. FUKO. EVER. made it’s acquisition even more compelling than ever before.
So, I knew I’d have to try again in the, ugh, m-o-r-n-i-n-g. (To say that I am NOT a Morning Person is a Supreme Understatement. I’m nearly 100% Vampire/NightOwl, just ask any of my ex-GFs. In fact the ONLY way I’m Up @8am, is IF I’m STILL UP @8am.) Setting not only Multiple Alarms, but also a second Phone as well as a Tablet, ready to just Refresh & Click BUY, I updated Payment Info/Verified and crashed hard for a few hours.
Bleary-eyed and yawning my way towards conciousness, I dutifully awoke to the multiple Alarms and confirmed that all was in readiness for this Next Attempt at Fuko-Glory. Secondary phone & Tablet tethered to my Smartphone @65mbps, check. All browsers pointed to meh.com, ready to Refresh, check. Cat-like reflexes coiled & ready to spring into action, despite only a few hours of Zzzzzz’s, not so much, but whatevs…
For at least the full minute before 8am, I kept continually refreshing all three browsers, to pounce asaFp. Then it was game on! Trying repeatedly to click Buy & get thru the Captcha to the Final BuyItAlready button on three devices simultaneously, I almost dared to hope that I might have a chance.
After a dizzying number of spins on the “R U a Robot?” \ NO I’M NOT!! MehryGoRound (following a NoPic Captcha completion), I got the dreaded “We’re SOLD OUT except for a small amount we set aside for existing VMP members to be released at 4pm ET.” Now 8:02am. FRAK!!
And here’s where the perceived value of my VMP comes in… Going back to the AprilFoolzFUKO\meh-rathon earlier this year, I struggled thru all the same Exercises in Frustration only to be met with the same Push-Me-2-the-Verge of RageQuitting precipice I once again found myself at.
Then, as I desperately hoped would be the case now, the 4:00pm VMP-only slot proved to be my Saving Grace. After staying awake All Night from 12midnite with the Meh-rathon to 8am, and then thru the full day of April 1st (Easter Sunday), I finally managed to snag my 2nd FUKO ever at 4:00! (So, YAY!)
Once again, hoping against hope, I readied the same 3 device parallel setup to get this Very Last FUKO. Once again, as the appointed VMP-only hour of 4:00 arrived, I threw myself into a click-storm of singular effort: to buy the Final FUKO.
Trying frantically like the crazed madman I had become, I was in disbeleif when @4:01, “Oops. Sorry we’re SOLD OUT.”
NOOO!!! WTaF?? How can this be? All of my earnest efforts were for naught?!? Apparently so. Inside of 1 minute, all 1,000 available Fukos were gone! So much for the last-resort buyer’s benefit of VMP status.
After some time had passed, with the overwhelming urge to rage-quit mostly subsiding, I reflected on this all. How was I this upset about not getting some stupid Fuko bag of misc junk, even if it was the Last One so-named? This frustration (or my Meh-diction, for that matter) was not something I could hope to ever effectively explain to friends or family, or myself for that matter.
Nonetheless, I continued checking each midnite thereafter, in hopes of another chance to Buy the Last FUKO. So Tues nite/Weds am, what to my wondering eyes should appear? Another FUKO Bag bundled with a meh t-shirt, which I bought quicker than you can spell “J-u-s-t K-i-d-d-i-n-g!!”
Of course, upon actually taking the time to read the product description, this was, in fact, just an Empty FUKO Bag & Tee. Realizing that, I debated on Cancelling the Order, but then did not. Last chance to grab a soon-to-be-extinct actual Meh FUKO bag, even if Empty, I consoled myself.
But, as another commenter observed, this substitute purchase is not only literally Empty, but leaves a Feeling of Emptiness (loss?) figuratively speaking as well. Just not the same…
Sooo, after much blah-blah-blah-ing above, the punchline is: Not gonna Beg, Can’t empirically Say that I Deserve one More than the Next Person, but hey, IF you feel like sending a Free Final FUKO my way, I would greatly appreciate it!! (If NO, well then, meh, Life goes on anyway… meh!)
[TL;DR-- Gr8 job on 4th B-day week, Staff & Mehtizens!! Only ever got 2 Fuku/Fukos despite trying like crazy for years. No longer getting much from VMP, hoped (in vain) it would pay off in last 4:00pm VMP-only offering, for the Last FUKO Ever. NOPE. Oh well. A Freebie Final FUKO would be cool. Or Not. Ur call. Thx either way…]
@tekhed7 even the TL;DR was TL;DR
@tekhed7 but that being said, I’d think that rather impressive outpouring of prose ought to be worth at least a Meh sticker
@tekhed7 TLDR TLDR TLDR TLDR
@ChadP Thanks @ChadP… Much appreciated!!
Also thanks to @nolrak for being the only other person to read such a crazy long-winded post (besides me), & comment! TY!
@tekhed7
@nolrak U rock Dude!!
I deserve a fuko because I’m the biggest whiner for not having gotten one. Heck I even started a thread to invite other whiners to join me- misery loves company and I’m providing a valuable service. But please please pleeeeaaase put me out of my fuko-less miserable life. I’d be just as happy with a box of junk just to say I “scored” a fuko.
@msmay Watch out - you just gave a reason why you shouldn’t get one so you can continue your valuable service to the whiner community
. Looks like your edit window is still open LOL
@msmay Seems like a reason why you shouldn’t get one so you can continue your valuable service to the whiner community.

I deserve a Fuko cuz I don’t want one. So you can send me one to make me annoyed and disappointed.
@blkxltng I’m nice. I don’t disappoint folks. So…moving on I guess.
@ChadP darn lol. I change my mind
I believe you should absolutely not send me a Fuko. I have tried several times and even though I login at exactly midnite, on the Fuko days, there is always either a connection issue, some credit card issue or I’m simply a millisecond too late. As upset as I may get at that moment, I realize now that it was the gods smiling on me and keeping from the disappointment and misery that comes in that jaunty red box (or bag, again, never seen one first hand). Sometimes you don’t realize how lucky you are to not get your wish.
Getting one now would completely negate the state of peace I have attained, knowing that I have been shielded from the horrible sense of regret that I have seen expressed again and again in this community by so many unlucky recipients.
Once again, please do NOT send me a Fuko, lest I become jaded and feel compelled to go on the forum to commiserate.
@frd1963 …got it. No Fuko. Next.
@ChadP @frd1963
/giphy calling bluff
I am so impressed by all who honestly said they don’t deserve a Fuko. I include myself in that group and why I hadn’t added my name to this list prior. It sure would be a special treat to receive one if MEH still feels the need to be generous.

I don’t actually want a fuko, I bought the bag (no fuko) deal.
I will however accept a box filled with random loose items, poorly packaged and guaranteed to be (more) broken upon arrival.
@hanzov69 also the title image “HANZ DE FUKO” is clearly in reference to me.
@hanzov69 Because my finish is always matte.
@hanzov69
@hanzov69 Best conversation I’ve had at work today, tbh.
@hanzov69 That “Hanz de fuko” sounds just like all those cat t-shirts @narfcake posts. Thus it means the plan is that some cats will win (especially since on another thread at least one dog won and if the cats of the world unite… well just sayin…). Right @chadp?
@hanzov69
@ChadP @hanzov69 @Kidsandliz @narfcake
I said last week that the cats were sad because they only had three boxes to play in between the seventeen of them. They got no joy.
And since today is trash day, they no longer have those three. Poor things. (Yeah, they own this house, they don’t need no boxes.)
Sad Phoebe is sad that her box is gone. (Phoebe is our kitty who pulled out her stitches after she was spayed and eviscerated herself while at the vet’s overnight for recuperation; luckily it was still pretty fresh when the vet got there and he put everything back in place and stapled her back up. That was 14 years ago.)
@ChadP Thank you kind sir. I assume that I will be receiving a super pixelated limited edition Fuko bag. You da best!
@ChadP @Kidsandliz @narfcake Funny thing, I went for a hair cut today at my favorite hipster barber salon shoppe (they give me beer).
I noticed a ton of Hanz De Fuko products. Apparently it’s hair care stuff?
I want one. I should get one because I should. Please?
@marcee
@ChadP I shall cherish it forever and a day. Or at least until its contents end up en la basura.
My birthday is the same as Meh’s. I’ve kept VMP without buying for months at a time, and only ever got one Fuko.
Also, if you send me a Fuko, I’ll nominate myself for August Goat.
/giphy august goat
@Kawa Umm you can’t nominate yourself for goat. You get to screw up in some way (good or bad)
Maybe because I made you cookies? Or did I already get a fuko for that?
Yes.
So, back in the day I would stalk woot hardcore for the bandoliers of carrots and never managed to score one. (I came very close a couple of times, but it would always time out during check-out.) Now that I have a kid, remembering to camp out on the off chance that I could get a fuko is nigh impossible. Someday I will get a package full of random crap. I’m trying to keep hope alive!
Man, hard to say I “deserve” one, like it’s an unalienable right from the almighty creator. I’m not generally a socialist, who feels that I am owed something I didn’t earn. I guess what that means is “have I 'earned one?”. Well, I like to think so. I’ve been a VIP member since it was a thing. I’ve gone many months not buying anything or realizing any benefit from my VIP status…I’d love to see an additional benefit given to me in the form of a Fuku/Irk package. Furthermore, I’d love it to be something rediculous, because that will most annoy my spouse…imagine a pallet of something showing up…classic after 21 years of marriage (tomorrow actually).
Do I “derserve” another fuko? I say I do, because I only got two of them gifted to me by staffers. Isn’t there a rule somewhere where
goodquestionably bad things come in threes?@therealjrn i think the staff fuko pictures are just that virtual fukos .
@CaptAmehrican Today’s mail belies this supposition…
I mean, if you’ve got one you’re throwing away
/giphy one man’s trash
@capguncowboy is that Joey Lawrence? Talk about a has been actor.
Probably not…
@lichme Nice score! I bet your mailman hates you.
Meh seems to have capped me at 5 total… even though I was awarded 6 (plus the 1 I bought)
@lichme I remember the time way way way back in the beginning when I got a phone call from a trucking company and two hours later I had 200 pair of psychedelic glasses delivered on two pallets
@lichme so what is in all of them. You posted them yet on the reveal thread?
@lichme or maybe they just haven’t gotten to dealing with the last one yet. I won one that isn’t in my orders yet.
@Kidsandliz Not sure yet, I’m at work. Had my wife take the pic (and bring them inside). I think I have 2 more coming. One has some weird dimensions that I’m not sure are accurate (43x20x6) with a 1Lb placeholder
Also, I think your second post was supposed to be directed at @capguncowboy
@lichme oops sorry about that.
@capguncowboy or maybe they just haven’t gotten to dealing with the last one yet. I won one that isn’t in my orders yet.
@capguncowboy @lichme I have one more that should show up (my lovely rendition of soft kitty).
Honestly, I’m kind of nervous about the whole thing. The cooker was a great gift, really couldn’t expect more than that.
I just had a great time playing. Best birthday party I’ve attended since my 60th.
@capguncowboy @lisaviolet I got awarded another one yesterday as well under the tattoo post, although that one isn’t entered either. Indeed, the amount of work that went into this was crazy. Kudos to meh.
@lichme @lisaviolet Congrats to you both! They put in tons of work! We should plan something awesome, errrr terrible to do for them.
@lichme I like how clean your sidewalk is. No cobwebs or nothin’.
@medz I had to pressure wash it last week. I may or may not have set off some small explosives that left burn marks on it during the 4th of July.
I didn’t realize you could win more than one. Huh. It’s probably too late and others have done better poems.
Oh, ChadP, hear my cry
Though I will not lie
I don’t need more junk
To toss in a trunk
I won yesterday
Which was nice, so yay!
For a pic of me
'n @oregonpixie
My bought bag came todeh
That was kinda meh
So I don’t know why
I’d want another try
I’m a glutton, you see
So send me one, maybe?
Or not, I don’t know
Whatever floats, yo
Do I, who amassed
Two fukus, my first and last
Deserve one more cast?
I’ve hovered on keys
At eleven, seven, three.
C-Link’s lag screwed me.
I’ve been VMP
But know it’s no guarantee.
How 'bout rhymes, ChadP?
Yet, do I deserve?
Not if graded on a curve
Unless judged on nerve.
Still:1, 2…needs 3.
A middle for symmetry.
So I’ll say “gimme!”
ChadP, be gallant!
Give a third just for balance
If not for talents.
I’ve never gotten one before. My brother says they’re pretty cool. And if this is the last of the fuko’s then this might be my last chance. So…pretty please? (With a cherry on top. I hope you like those. Otherwise you can trash the cherry and replace it with whatever you like)
I am thinking we got rid of the awful generous feeling
I bought a Fuko. Wasn’t nearly disappointed enough. Can we try again?
Well, it took me forever just to figure out how to add a comment. Now, if you think I will ever be able figure out how to get, or give a Fuko for the matter, you should probably be 573.001’d! I’m incapable of doing this on my own. PLEASE, PLEase, PLease, for the love of all that is holy, bless me with a Fuko.
573.001- penal code for involuntary commitment to a mental ward.
I’m a kickstarter and been vmp since the beginning. Missed getting one of the first original fuku’s when they first came out. Ever since that historical day I’ve been here every night at 11, F5’ng for my life.
Since this was the last fuko I’d hoped to at least get one to be apart of history. Pulled another all nighter waiting for the vmp chance to get one of the last bags, but I was slowed down due to a nasty ole captcha and missed out again. Sooo, I’ve been checking my history everyday in hopes that meh’be a mistake might have happened in my favor and there’d be a fuko being shipped to my address. If your feeling really really generous and just want to do a surprise shipment to someone… here I am groveling.
I’m feeling a bit left out with everyone getting more Fukos. I know I’ve not been as attentive only getting one “final” Fuko at 7am on Meh’s birthday. I enjoy my sleep and have a job, two things that are working against me for getting another Fuko. But here I am, sitting on the crapper multitasking and sort of begging.
@Stumpy91 @Enigma There were five days of games and contests where you had a chance at getting a free fuko. All you had to do was participate.
Thank’s but I’m not into games and contest. Hence the reason I posted here where it’s appropriate to the subject of the thread.
@Enigma And the birthday week was the 9th through the 13th, not this week. Last week. The post you’re responding to is dated Thursday, July 12.
Playing the games was kind of the point to the party. I’m sorry you missed it because it was lots of fun.
@lisaviolet Apparently the post wasn’t closed. I responded and it worked out. All is well. Thank you
@Enigma Well, that’s great news!
Maybe next time you’ll play along and we can see your tattoo artistry (a couple of Mehmbers got actual, real tattoos…people are crazy!), shirt designs, entertaining information, cake baking/decorating skills, selfies with a meh friend (or your cat or your dog or a drawn picture of yourself…)
It really was a lot of fun.
Thank you @ChadP and the Meh Gods. You’ve made this lady a happy camper! Now I can proudly profess to being part of final Fuko history.
No, but y’all sent me some for the other games.
So thanks!
Whoever said whining doesn’t get you anything? Thanks Meh for putting me out of my fuko-less life. YAY!
I deserve a fuko…even a late one.
