Entertain Me
17Here’s the deal. I’m looking for fun, entertaining content, cool gifs, links to cool stuff, informative things, podcast recommendations, and just general great stuff. If you post something that gets people talking, I’ll start handing out Fukos left and right.
Make it happen.

There once was a company called woot,
It used to be a hoot.
It was bought out by the 'zon
Now all the fun is gone
A billion deals are whack
But Matt and the crew are back
To give us just one deal
Yes, this shit’s for real
So buy and buy and buy some more
Because meh.com just turned four
So, how should you guys celebrate?
You should give some stuff away
No seriously, give it to me
I’ll take it, if it’s free
Oh that lichme, he’s a jerk
Don’t believe me, just ask irk
But as for meh, you deserve something too
You guys are awesome, we love the things you do
So have a party, make some noise
Get wasted, all the girls and boys
Sell more stuff, deals, and junk
Drink more beer, get more drunk
Raise a glass, and say a cheer
Then do it all again next year.
Happy Birthday Meh
This image is a jpg. It doesn’t move.
@rockblossom This is a gif. It moves.
@medz
@medz
@medz 0, finally 1 that I can see!
@medz
@llangley Do you see anything else besides the 0?
@medz I see two 0’s, and an 11
@lichme You have astigmatism?
@medz It’s been about 15 years since I had an eye exam, it’s possibly.
If I look at it close up, I see two overlapping numbers (and parts of a third)
If I pull my head away, I see a single 1/0
@lichme Hmmm… I see a single 0 on the left and 1 on the right as the image pans over. Can’t get myself to see the double numbers.
@lichme @medz @llangley
But you can see this in stereo, right?
@lichme @medz I see blue and yellow stuff that makes my eyes hurt.
@medz When I see the single digits, they pan
(0 from left to right, then back: 1 from right to left then back)
@medz yep, the 1
@medz I spent so much time looking at those things in the 90s that to this day I can just look at them and see the stereoscopic effect. I think those things did shit to me…
@medz @shahnm I assume you also eat your Snickers bars with a fork and knife?
/image mr pitt magic eye
@lichme @medz It depends on how “deep” you focus your eyes. I don’t know how else to explain it, but if you only “overlap” it once, you see one “1” and one “0”
If you focus your eyes deeper into the image, you can overlap it further and get up to four 1’s and 0’s. If the image were wider, or the repetitions in it were narrower, you could get more.
@rockblossom I swear it’s moving!
@savvysapphire Open the image full-size in a new tab. It will coil and wiggle even more, but it is just your brain playing a joke on you - because brains have an odd sense of humor.
@rockblossom oh sweet I love it. I like that my brain likes to mess with me!
@Dweezle @lichme @medz
It seems that I all not deep then.
Sigh.
@Dweezle @f00l @lichme @medz
All I can get my brain to see is a bunch of images of a chicken face-palming (beak-winging?).
@rockblossom
@ChadP Many thanks!

Well not only being told in court that you are dead, but losing the appeal as well, certainly raises some interesting questions.

On the bright side for him, last week they decided he was, in fact, living after all.

@PlacidPenguin how did they not know he was still alive, as it was a dead giveaway?
@AttyVette
Sadly, it’s happened in the US as well.
@kdemo
@ChadP YOU ARE SO COOL!!!
Full disclosure - I won one for sub-naming the new IRK bag, so . . .
Pretty sure this meets aforementioned requirements:

Podcasts worth your time:
Great apps that I use all the time:
Crafting machine worth the $ (if you don’t like crafting, that’s fine, we can’t be friends, but you can still look at the image of cool stuff I made and be jealous):
And that’s just some cool things I had in mind. If I come up with more, you’ll be the first to know.
@debraae and Sword and Scale is great podcast
@moonhat Thanks, I’ll check it out!
@debraae if you like crime stuff, and creepy true tales, you’ll love it
@moonhat Yes, and YES! I’m in for sure
@debraae
@ChadP What?!? That’s AWESOME! Thank you!

@capguncowboy I feel like you should have to give me a fuko for this one.
but.
Because race

@Pony
@ChadP Aw, yay! Thanks!
@lichme
(Wait… Why have you not been goat yet?)
@lichme 17
@lichme order of operations. 15.
@lichme
Ugh!!!
An alternatively acceptable answer would be:
Irk + Glen + Fuku/Fuko = A whole lot of disappointment.
@lichme
Is it 60 disappointments?
@lichme 15, right? (Yeah, I had some help.)
@lichme 5+1x10=15
@lichme
5+2X10
Answer Here
@lichme 26 as 5 (irk) plus 1 ( one irk sock) plus the fuko bag (10)is 26
@lichme @shahnm it’s only 16 because it’s only showing one sock in the last example not two—so sock it to me as the saying went on Laugh In back in the day…5 plus 1 plus 10 is 16
@lichme awwww i was trying to correct the math showing it as 16 not 26 and time ran out so posted it again saying 16 - one irk worth 5 points, I irk sock so only 2 points and I fuko bag worth 10 points (debatable so total 16)
@lichme lol I still screwed writing it up…that’s what I get for typing with one hand using the iPad while talking on my cellphone at the same time…I meant I to type irk sock is only one point but wrote instead “so only 2” grrr …
@AttyVette close, but not all addition, there is multiplication in there too.

@mfladd I fucking love this song so hard.
@mfladd I liked that stupid song so much that I bought the dance in PShome when that was a thing.
@RiotDemon I found a version just for you.
@mfladd I watched the whole rube Goldberg video wondering why you linked that, haha.
Leo is great. I follow him on YouTube. I don’t think he’s done a cover that I didn’t like.
@mfladd @RiotDemon Leo does some amazing shit. Love him.

@mfladd Is that the literal octopussy?

@therealjrn
Just saw this beauty:
@therealjrn I don’t totally agree with the message. I’m a believer in the idea that most people think they can’t achieve anything, so they aim in the middle, and that’s what makes competition for middle jobs, middle living, middle-of-the-road stuff so fierce. Meanwhile, competition at the top and bottom is quite light. Anyway.

@ChadP do whispers cause an alert like posts do?
@thismyusername you will get an email about a whisper that is 5 minutes old as long as you haven’t refreshed that forum thread in those 5 minutes. The thread will not show bold and at the top of the screen though if only a whisper was added to it.

I already got a fuko, not trying for one, but there’s lots of fun trivia in the responses in this tweet from Paris Hilton.
@lisaviolet not trying you say.
@lichme Horrifying. I also think I remember when that was out.
@ACraigL They are still making them. I bought one for my daughter 2 months ago, although it’s nothing like I remember it. Toys aren’t built like they used to be.
@lichme How has that theme song not spawned a million dirty memes?
@lichme I watch old commercials from time to time. This one is nuts.
@ChadPSo go to Corvette Forum and read off topic sections. People post all sorts of things and some of its really funny. www.corvetteforum.com

You can read the thread postings without joining the forum btw.

Cats
@debraae funny…not funny for the cats though
@AttyVette Absolutely true!!! Sorry, I should have prefaced that post with “I have two cats and would NEVER do this to them”…
@debraae I didn’t think they were your cats lol just thought whoa…those cats really don’t like those cucumbers

@savvysapphire meh too although my hair is on top of my head so technically on my mind
Ok Meh’ers we must get people talking and then fukos will be thrown out left and right as stated above—(well actually they do that already when we all clamored to purchase them on Meh’s 4th birthday as they go out fast left and right). Anyways spread the word far and wide and get mehers in here talking about our posted stuff and we can be winners ( or losers depending upon how you look at it) of more fukos!
@AttyVette ah. Talking? That terrifies me lol! Though I like this gif
Yeah, wat @AttyVette said

@ChadP ok and I quote what you said above…”If you post something that gets people talking, I’ll start handing out Fukos left and right.” So here it is so please start handing out the fukos to all of us in here now…this is it what you asked for and is shown in the attached gif![A cell phone —][1]
The answer is——a cell phone ringing and then people answering it gets people talking of course! Very simple and it’s true too so please start passing out the fukos

@moonhat The little black one was a stray we couldn’t resist. She is about 6 pounds. The big girl is a rescue and is close to 20 pounds. We also have the bigger ones mom and she is a sleek 8 pounds. They are all brats but fun.

@ChadP @lichme
@chad - My gosh you gave out a lot of them! Thank you so much!
@Kidsandliz yes he did. And. Maybe it’s for the best that I didn’t get a lot of people talking lol!! I’m still in love with the non-moving pic that looked like it was moving. But then, I’m also easily amused
@Kidsandliz @savvysapphire and lucky for us, so is @chadp!
@ChadP @Kidsandliz @llangley yeah. However I think I’m more easily amused he didn’t seem impressed with what I posted…and yet I was laughing at it. But, again, that’s a good thing. It means almost anything keeps me from festering in a bad mood lol! This thread was very entertaining, even kept me out of trouble for a few hours lol!!
@ChadP
Wow! Thanks.
(rereads the cautionary rule)
I think.
similar to AmyVette’s mention of the OT at Corvette forum, “t3h OT” at North American Subaru Impreza Owner’s Club (nasioc.com) is pretty entertaining.
it’s also fairly insular/inbred at times, so I STRONGLY suggest lurking a while (then a while longer) before posting.
as it says on the forum menu
t3h OT
“political playground” sub forum is to be avoided at all costs.
unless you’re the sort who enjoys shrieking your views repeatedly while others do the same.
then, knock yourself out.
but, the fact that they needed to be put in an area away from everyone else should be a clue . . .

@mfladd right.
I’ve been out of town touring colleges for the past couple of days but thinking of you guys. I found something cool and had to share it.
We were in the visitor’s center at Winston-Salem, NC, birthplace of R.J. Reynolds tobacco. There was an old cigarette machine and I was just telling my daughter, see that, those were all over the place when I was a kid, then I noticed it said “Art-O-Mat.” And one of the levers had a drawing of a doggie. A DOGGIE! So I threw a twenty at the lady and said GIVE ME TOKENS!
The first piece of artwork was I don’t even know- it was in the wrong slot. Then we got 3 doggies!
I love my doggies! Or doggie and a half. Anyone want a thing made out of trash found at a lake in Minnesota? It’s art, apparently.
@sammydog01 that’s so cool!!
@sammydog01 apparently it’s a thing
http://www.artomat.org/locations/
I MUST find one of these!!
@sammydog01 @stardate820926 I didn’t realize they were still doing this! I’m kind of shocked that there are only two left in IL and neither is in Chicago. I could get to Crystal Lake, though.
The doggies are super-cute.
@stardate820926 I heard about it before- I think it was from here. If not I would have walked right by it for a fourth time.
@mossygreen @stardate820926 The lady said that they are all over Winston-Salem. There’s one in town I still haven’t checked out.
@mossygreen @sammydog01 @stardate820926
I have peeps in Crystal Lake.
@compunaut @mossygreen @stardate820926 Take cash for art next time you go!
Turns out it sounded familiar not only because I read about it here but because I responded that I would track a machine down.
