Fear for me, for I appear to have won Fuko 19

Weather update - 60% chance of rain. Down to 30ish mid-day. It’s pouring right now, so it might wear out. If it’s 180 Angel Food Cakes weighing 250lbs, they might melt.

@Ozzie2191 uh oh. You got a garage or covered car port? Maybe slip the driver a $20 bill to help bring each box inside? (assuming pallet of 180 boxes)

@medz Ya, I have a garage, although depends on how much I need to pile in there!

Poured all night so now we have an expectation of no rain until 4pm.

FedEx will arriving around 11am, per their call just now.

Now unloading into my garage…

@Ozzie2191

Sorry to hear that you have it already.

@denboy I’ll find out Thursday!

(The answer is yes, even so. Until the wife sees the pallet in the driveway. )

@Ozzie2191

@denboy

@Ozzie2191

@denboy Btw, had to explain to the wife why I would be working from home on Thursday.

Her prediction: washer and dryer.

@Ozzie2191 oh no, washer and dryer it certainly isn’t. Big disappointment on the horizon for wifey.

@kdemo 1.38888 lbs per, assuming the 180 items is a true statement. Where did you get 768?

@Ozzie2191 - I really should make you guess.

@kdemo That is awesome. I actually spent some time last week researching other big Fukos and came up dry.

@Ozzie2191 - If you need help lowering your expectations, read this.

Also, way back in the early days I remember some people getting giant gumball machines - complete with vintage gumballs inside.

There have been pallets of peanut butter and jelly spreaders and broken flat screen tvs.

I’ll add more if I remember . . .

@kdemo If I got a gumball machine I would lose my mind over the awesomeness of it. I’d put it in my office. Thinking more about it, I’d probably do a little DIY and turn it into a fish tank…

@Ozzie2191 - Actually, those gumball machines were in the days of fukubukuros.

Now that we have fukos only, awesomeness is in the anticipation and the joke factor.

Doesn’t diminish the fun of the game, just remember how their minds work. (They love to play games).

@kdemo @Ozzie2191 IIRC some of the gum ball machines still had money in them, at least one with a fairly significant amount, almost enough to pay to get the thing hauled away.

@woodhouse

Use your ax(e).

@woodhouse Traveling like George of the Jungle? I like your style.

I actually tried out this service with my oldest daughter ($30/month allocated as $1/day). It was super-interesting!

@kdemo I received a normal one as well. It didn’t have much, but I was still happy to actually get in on these. I’m a pessimist who enjoys the occasional win.

I was the first person to write back to Mediocrebot about his escapades, so maybe that is the reason.

Just told my son (who was my BoC opening buddy) and he’s floored. Wish he wasn’t away at college, but I’ll video it for him.

@narfcake No matter what, I will enjoy it. I have ~50 nieces and nephews within 15 minutes if they are something they would like that I wouldn’t, and I do a lot of work for assorted charities if it’s something else I can’t/won’t use.

I’ve been smiling since noon about this.

@narfcake @Ozzie2191 - Sounds like they chose the right person to win.

It’s cool that they’re doing second shipments again.

Awesome meh!! (Is that an oxymoron?)

@narfcake @Ozzie2191 this is both frightening and amazing at the same time! I can’t wait for reveal pictures…it’s like when you can’t help but look at the car wreck on the side of the road.

@medz - Trip glasses?

@kdemo I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone.

@medz I read that link as ‘wedding mattock,’ which… would be interesting…

@sammydog01 what’s a skid?

@moonhat

@moonhat @narfcake

/image skid marks

@medz @moonhat @narfcake That person obviously forgot about front to back, then inside out and back to front.

@medz @moonhat @narfcake We constantly tease our teen sons that when they were babies, each, at some point, had a poop that went up their back and into their hair.

@therealjrn Just like that song…!

@shahnm @therealjrn
You got to know when to wash 'em
Know when to toss 'em
Know when to change yer pants
When you defecate

@medz @shahnm @therealjrn That song’s gonna be stuck in my head all day.

@medz @therealjrn @sammydog01
You never wipe your backside
When you’re sittin’ on the toilet,
There’ll be time enough for wipin’
When the shittin’s done

@spitfire6006006 No worries. Once it all arrives, we can do the math.

@PurplePawprints I was going to do “win” in quotes, but I didn’t want the Meh powers that be to think I’m ungrateful. I still find it hilarious.

@UncleVinny

@Ozzie2191
/giphy today!

@Ozzie2191 @sammydog01 the reveal was even better than chrismus morning! I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off! The glee, coursing through my veins! The adrenaline, pulsing through my temples! I think this calls for a celebratory tattoo.

@Ozzie2191

Well the 180 would be boxes, not the actual contents of the boxes.

@Ozzie2191 is it those stupid see-through skeleton and guts learning toys? (body contents)

@Ozzie2191 JUST POST IT ALREADY!!!

@medz
Nope. Delay as I wait for my phone to load the picture…

@medz BTw, the “nope” was on the skeleton comment, not refusing to post the picture…that loaded poorly on timing, sorry!

@Ozzie2191 I still don’t get it…

@medz I was saying “nope” to “is it those stupid see-through skeleton and guts learning toys”, i.e. your response. By the time I answered, sammydog slipped in and made it look like a rude retort.

@Ozzie2191 I don’t understand the packing label contents…did it just read “contents”? If so, how does that make sense related to the fitness bands?

@medz “FUKO TRACKERS” = Fitness trackers

@mikibell Thank you. I now understand.
/giphy makes sense

@medz mmmmm, a darkplace giphy!

@cinoclav you are correct sir! by a few seconds ahead of my picture

@cinoclav So… was it the tracking number Fuko Trackers that gave it away to you?

@raccoon81 Yup. Plus those damn things kept coming up in bundles so figured they had a crap ton of them.

@Ozzie2191 Yes! You should ship a couple of cases to @cinoclav for guessing.

@Ozzie2191 5 per box, so 900 of these puppies.

My work is starting a employee fitness program next week so I just reached out to them to see if I could donate my win, on behalf of the Meh-clan.

Quite happy with this! I’ll snag a few cases for friends and family and then donate these to work and some other places.

Thanks Meh! Enjoyed the adventure quite a bit!

@Ozzie2191 Wow. Easy $450 you could make. More if you’re picky.

@medz Some people have suggested that to me, but I’m going to be donating 95% of them (rest keeping for self/family) to my work and some local charities. I know at least one operates a store so they’ll be selling them. It’ll be good for them!

@Ozzie2191 think of all the good you could do for the world with all that cash though!

@Ozzie2191 @sammydog01
/giphy whoa nelly

@Ozzie2191 Every time I tried to buy those they sold out. Damnit. Now I’ll never get one.

@Ozzie2191 Congratulations! Looks like they found their way to a good steward.

@jzmacdaddy

Every time I tried to buy those they sold out. Damnit. Now I’ll never get one.

Oh boy, that wasn’t transparent at all.

@Ozzie2191 i think you did well. Super useful easy donatable item. I know the small 5ks for charity would love them as prizes. If i had gotten it 150 I would give to our wierd tri then other 750 to various charity 5ks. Congrats fun thing. Peanut butter spreaders, and hubmen i have no idea what 5o do with.

@Ozzie2191 Whoa, this is your only
Meh order?

/image Keanu whoa

@stinks no, but i am not sure why my history was wiped. I havent bought much but had a few things and was VMP as well. Even got tgat first set of socks they sent out.

@Kidsandliz Ya, I’m concerned about the batteries, however that’s kind of what to expect with a cheaper fitness tracker.
