Fuck-You-Buckaroo Box - my parting goat gift to You!
24
I have been fortunate enough to capture a lot of Fuko/Fuku bags and BOCs over the years. I have a growing pile of stuff, from these bags as well as from random impulse buys here and elsewhere, and want to move some of it. If you want a shot at winning a box of my crap - my Fuck-You-Buckaroo Box - then post something below.
I’m not yet sure what I’m going to put in the box. I promise that it will not be a wastebasket for things that are broken, expired, or slowly festering. The stuff in there may or may not be useful, and I’m not taking any requests. However, it will be new, intact, and (presumably) in working order when it goes into the box. Maybe the winner will find something of use. Or amusement. Or at any rate it won’t be my problem anymore…
Some ground rules:
- This shenanigan has to be ok with the Meh powers-that-be. I didn’t ask anyone, so if they shut it down, blame… me I guess. I’m still the goat.
- To be in the running to receive your very own Fuck-You-Buckaroo Box, simply post a reply in this topic.
- Funny, interesting, thought-provoking, confusing, or frankly offensive posts will be appreciated, but will not increase your chance of winning.
- No matter how many times you post, you get only one entry.
- At the end of the entry period, whenever that is, I will write each individual poster’s name on a slip of paper, and then select one… er… winner.
- The winner has to be ok with providing (whispering) his, her, xer, or {pronoun of choice} contact information, so that I can actually get you the box. If you want to maintain your anonymity, then move on and find a different topic to post in. I have dozens of them available if you really insist on posting in one of mine…
- This is free to the “winner”. Nothing is expected in return. I’ll pay shipping to anywhere in the continental 48 states.
- Why am I doing this? I don’t know. Shut up.
- Don’t expect wonderful joy and happy fun times when you receive this box. It won’t completely suck, but it will probably suck enough that you should keep your expectations in check.
Thanks for being such an awesome community! I hope whoever gets the box finds it to be as Meh as Meh can be…

@lichme
Every time I see the word “bath”, I think of TTM.
I dunno why. I should probably get that checked out.
I love purple.
Fucker.
As far as #1’s concerned, I’m good with this. One rule: no writing into Meh Customer Support about this!
(I don’t mean for this to count as an entry, please don’t send me anything!)
@dave
I don’t know… I hear that toilet paper is in season and is good this time of year.

You have been “fortunate” enough to have scored “many” fukos and boc’s in the past? My indifference to this slightly had it’s jimmies rustled.
@mfladd
IT’S SPELLED (AND PRONOUNCED) SPRINKLES!!!
@mfladd You strike me as more of a sprinkles type.
@shahnm Take it back, or I will place batteries in you in such a way that the sun will shine for a very long time.

I’ll rustle who or what I want to rustle.

@Seeds That’s an understatement. She can be bribed with toys and catnip though. She is a very affectionate cat, currently sacked out on my lap…
@speediedelivery so cute

your surprise box sounds especially desirable…
/giphy intriguing box
/giphy grohl
I tried to be funny, interesting, thought-provoking, confusing, or frankly offensive, but no dice.
@peaceetc
I find that to be offensive to those who yearn for offensiveness.
@PlacidPenguin Your offense at my attempt at being offensive offends me.
Oh, shit- but I’m moving soon. I’m supposed to be getting rid of stuff, not getting more.
but…
but… stuuuuff!
Fuckit. I’m in.
@Pony
“stuff”
@phendrick That’s exactly what I think of whenever I talk about having too much stuff.
Why not i can do dispose of your unwanted treasures!

Alright, I’m in! How can I not be? Oh right, I could never respond to this thread. But I already wrote this, so it is too late now.
You can pin the tail on this
not feeling creative tonite but, I’m in
For some reason my images and gifs never ever work lately. Here goes trying it again
And again. No idea why this doesn’t work, I’ve done this plenty of times

@tartanknickers do you also like that one about the god of the ants?

/giphy what’s in the box?!?!?
@djslack
@daveinwarsh it says vegetarian, so there is no goat in that at all!
/giphy shenanigans
@djslack The super horny goats inside the box are vegetarian.
No shenanigans here!
Sure, you can send me stuff.
We get a goat in a box. Right?
Oh wait… This?
@Kidsandliz
I… uh… think you’re gonna get goats…?
Am I doing this wrong?
@shahnm Send me the box and I’ll let you know.

/giphy sounds like a good time
I got enough crap.
in for more trash!
I seriously don’t need to receive more crap but I too’d love to get rid of some! I too promise not to send anything broken, festering, alive, or explosive (can’t promise against expiring, there WILL be candy corn.) Expect a box containing but not limited to fidget spinners, meat thermometers, collapsible cups, and yes, Prince Xizor. All items guaranteed unused! (Except his highness, the dog chewed him a little.) Anyone interested? Whisper me an address…
The “winner” will be the address that costs least to mail to! There ought to be some reward for creativity of reveal-thread too - maybe additional crap?
@kidsandliz - To be honest, “least cost” should probably have read “least effort” - if I have to try to guess WHERE in say the SE portion of a state someone lives, the winner is more likely to be the person who provides me with an ACTUAL ADDRESS - so to cut to what chase there is, I’m leaning in @support 's direction…
@aetris I’m in. The kids also like opening boxes. AND…Prince Xizor!
Well, I think that’s enough contestants for THIS box - all other contenders must now post to @shanm. Good “luck”!
@aetris It’d be an amusing irony if you win my box…
@shahnm - Oh, you’re not getting MY address!!!
@aetris So am I in or out since I sent a message within your limit but only now gave you my address as I had been thinking cheapest is closest and nothing is close here - Not even decent grocery stores.
@mfladd I got two, count 'em, two, Prince Xizors…interested?
@aetris and All: Received my package on Saturday and I tried to upload this comment but was having real bad internet connectivity so I’m posting the day after.
I was surprised about how heavy it was. Came in at 5 pounds, 9.3 ounces. Was also shocked to see that you paid a whopping $15.10 to send it here. Wow, just wow. Postage is expensive.
And this is a list of what was scored. Some things I don’t know what they are so I hope the community here can help me identify them:
Opening the box, it was very well packed. No need for any packing materials because it was filled all the way to the top.
Taking out the bag, I noticed that it was a gift bag. So cool. Everything was packed in a gift bag that I can reuse.
Inside the bag was a book “The Eve to Believe.” Although I personally don’t celebrate Christmas, the spouse does and I will regift it to one of the family members with Children.
A Wireless Bluetooth Receiver and Adapter.
A Silvercrest Fitness Tracker.
A Samsung S7 wallet case. Surprisingly, it fits the S7 Edge that I have too. How did you know I had that phone?
Two ChefPals. One for Pork and one for Chicken. They both alarm at 160 degrees. This completes my collection because I thought I have a Cow one in the house but I looked all over the place and cannot find it. I know it’s here somewhere and I’ll locate it one day.
A Starwars figure. Not sure who this is so I’m assuming he’s from the Last Jedi movie since that’s the only one I haven’t seen yet. I have the DVD of the movie already but lent it to a friend so I have to wait until I get it back before I watch it.
Two fidget spinners.
Of course the candy corn that we all knew would be included.
Two small toys that I cannot figure out what they are. If anyone knows what these are, please let me know.
A book about French Impressionists Paintings.
Cute giraffe wooden toy.
Old cordless phone style battery.
Two candles from Yankee Candle.
Bar of Jasmine Soap.
Screwdriver with multiple heads. I played with this for a long time. It is neat. You can replace the tips by rotating the revolver and then pulling it down. The new tip goes in. Just push the revolver thing back and the tip goes into that clear plastic container again. I have never seen one of these before and this is definitely going into my toolbox.
Leather belt.
Some sort of treasure chest with random items in it. Don’t know what this is. Is it from a movie or game or something? Anyone know?
Two hard plastic molds for something. Look like ice cube trays but seem too small for that. Either they are whales or other types of fish. Anyone know what these are? There are some crumbs in some of the molds so I assume they are for making goldfish crackers or something weird like that.
And now a picture of the entire contents of the box with everything together.
Thank you to @aetris for proving such great items in an adhoc-fuku. The quantity of items and weight was definitely unexpected.
@support - I got a bit carried away. Luckily the post office carried it all away. Unluckily, they charge for that sort of thing!!!
Aaaand I forgot the collapsible cups…
@kidzandliz, yours is supposed to arrive tomorrow, but will not be such a variety, sorry! Postage is a bit more than expected!
@support those look like helicopter toys. You shoot them straight up with the rubber band and then they twirl back down.
@djslack thanks. It was all written in either Japanese or Chinese so I didn’t know.
@aetris Hi. Actually it came yesterday but I have been busy writing final exams and grading papers (finals start Monday and I am giving one at 8… Am at work right now. Will try to photograph and upload tonight. Sorry I didn’t post yesterday. Too tired when I got home yesterday and I was trying to figure out who this was from. I have been exhausted and forgot, temporarily, about this which is why I was baffled - poor halp support - hey @thumperchick there are a couple of emails from me including one canceling the help request once it belatedly dawned on me what this was all about. Finally figured out it was from you. THANKS!!!
@Kidsandliz @Thumperchick - No worries, no hurries! Keep throwing those papers down the stairs and leave the reveal 'til later.
I mean the fukyu reveal - the kids can wait!
My box from @aetris came the other day but as it is finals week and I am loosing my mind (at least I used to have one) it has taken me a while to even remember to take photos. Here is what I was sent:
First the box:
and it turns out that was what was in it in addition to a couple of other things:
Yes those are chocolate covered pretzels - I presume expired, or close to it, from one of the earlier meh sales
Two wood spoons
A 12 days of christmas that mentions 2 turtle doves and I did 2 spinners spinning for that video
And then the big item of an immersion cooker. I’ll have to read up on how one uses them. I am presuming these are a “more legal” version of the little electric coil we’d put in cups in dorm rooms while trying to hide from the RA who’d then confiscate it since they were presumed fire hazards. This looks like a major upgrade from those dinky things.
THANKS!!! This was so nice of you!
@Kidsandliz - You’re very welcome! Best wishes, and I’m sure you’ll find your mind once you’re free from those students!
Oh and uh yeah, those are from the edible arrangements box - but do pretzels ever REALLY expire?
@aetris No I don’t think they ever expire. They just turn to cement however those under 6 likely will still eat them. Oh wait. They then turn into teething rings - and then are eventually spit softened enough for same said child to eat them.
Oh, giving the first of the finals at 8am this morning. Students in my office all day yesterday wanting to know about extra credit - yah know, say 200 points of extra credit…
@Kidsandliz - Just link the words “extra credit” to “Fuko box” somehow!
@support - Just fyi - no idea what those whale molds were for/from (unused BY US, long forgotten by the parental units) - the little treasure box is from a pirate Halloween kit - the rubber balls, instant buttons, commemorative coin, and plastic rodent inside are completely unrelated - pretty sure the baseball belt is NOT leather but is very stretchy - didn’t realize that giraffe was quite so beat, but makes a nice variation for fidget spinners - djslack called it on the helicopter shooters - enjoy!
@aetris Thank you very much for the extra information. Those whale molds are interesting. They are hard plastic so anything you put into them would be hard to extract. Still curious about those.
That giraffe is cute. Sure it has some scratches on it but that adds to the character. It would be hard to see scratches except for the closeup shot I took with the camera. I’m putting it on my fireplace mantel.
@aetris What and then fill the box with fuko U (that would be a pun
), You should have thought of doing the work back starting Jan 10th? Sigh. I mostly teach graduating seniors in the term they graduate. That is exhausting trying to keep them motivated enough to pass. I’d almost rather teach freshmen with ACT scores of 10 (and yes we have a bunch of those here - open admissions).
I’m in. Could always add to my hoarder tendencies with more crap.
My cats and children would love another box
I’ll take your shit. Preferably not literally but I’m a resourceful guy and could find something to do with it.
Eh, ok, I like crap.
Professional hoarders need not apply
@kykazaa I think maybe you misunderstand the phrase “professional hoarders”…

I have four dogs and five cats. My car looks like a dryer lint trap.
@BobAbbott You could gather the fur and make yarn, then knit a rug for your car out of that…
/image dog and cat car rug
@BobAbbott Hmm well not what I was looking for but that might help you gather fur for yarn.
I was thinking about having a yard sale to really “fit in” in my local community…alas, all my shit is just that…shit. However, if you feel the need to assist me in adding more shit to my shit filled yard sale, all while helping me to “fit” into my Truman Show style neighborhood…and allow me to make a minuscule profit…be my guest
Howdy Fucking Doo.
OK, I’m in. It’s still better odds than an Amazon give-aways.
@rtjhnstn There are actual winners of Amazon giveaways? I was figuring what they were really gathering is data on us to sell/use.
@Kidsandliz I think there are imaginary give-aways in the same way there are imaginary numbers. In a theoretical basis.

Could be fun , could be scary
@CaptAmehrican or it could be full of frostbitten batteries. Just sayin’
@CaptAmehrican @Kidsandliz Nope. The batteries are mine.
@Kidsandliz those coyld be scary fun
@shahnm Considering your wittiness and style of prose, I’d like to believe you have good taste in your selection of items to send along. On the other hand, I’m kind of hoping you really just do this to fuck with the winner.
@cinoclav I appreciate your comment, and do believe that my taste is at least tasteful, if not necessarily good. However, I will not let any of that influence what goes into the box…
This reply intentionally left blank.
Stop posting guys. I already won.
I almost won a BOC once, but then I didn’t. Meh. Send me ur shits, so I can be stocked up on re-gifts for the holidays.
Can’t ever seem to nab a fuko.

There was once a meh email where with one of those Hyram song parodies wondering what the stuff sprayed onto the ceiling of gyms feels like (“I bet that it’s crunchy” he surmised). I happened to have a sample of the material sitting on my desk so I sent it to Meh.
I think they refused it and it’s been hanging out in the USPS system ever since.
Welp, that’s my story. The stuff is pretty crunchy.
How can we be sure you aren’t implicating us in some sort of crime? I’d down either way if you need help disposing of your teflon products.

Meh!
What a nice idea.
@shahnm, aren’t you a sweetie! You and your filthy, filthy grill.
@UncleVinny All right. I admit it. It was me. I bought the grill cleaner kit. But you’ll never find the stuff. Never!!!
@shahnm @UncleVinny First sucker is right!
@mfladd @shahnm first sucker…and the BEST!
@shahnm @UncleVinny Probably won’t be able to find it as the batteries befriended it and hid it since it was going to die little by little as it was drained of it’s life blood while being worked to the bone… the batteries knew that as long as they stayed in the fridge they wouldn’t suffer the same fate. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day you opened that fridge and found them armed with spoiled left overs and turkey legs to battle for their lives and right to live forever, unmolested, in that fridge.
Time’s running out. For no reason in particular, I think I’ll close this to new contestants at 11:59 PM EST on April 26th. Anyone who posts in this topic gets an entry, except for those snobby assholes who declined to participate because they are too good to take my crap.
As a bonus, the very last poster before midnight (the midnight that follows 11:59 PM on 4/26) will get an extra entry. Because I’m awesome.
@shahnm I anticipate this thread will be very busy.
@shahnm This thread is now locked. No further comments will be accepted.
@mfladd Nice try… heh heh heh…
@shahnm but but but I already entered. Does this ban me from trying for the last comment extra entry?
@mfladd if you need to find a locked thread I believe the goat archive/history thread is perpetually locked.
@Kidsandliz @mfladd Nope. Whether or not you posted earlier, the very last poster before midnight gets a second entry. And as a bonus, my respect, which is worth much, much more…
@shahnm 11:59PM EST is 10:59pm EDT, so I’m going to sneak in under that hour early wire and claim that glorious entry myself!
/giphy muahahahaha
@djslack You may have spilled the beans on my evil trick, and now everyone will be rushing to do the same…

/giphy there are no rules
@medz I’m a goat. What the fuck do I know?!?
@shahnm I have a solution to that:
Or get your Lord and Master to get you into school this way:
How about parodies of “mediocrebot is an asshole”?
Hey - who won?
@Kidsandliz
@Kidsandliz @ruouttaurmind I’ll try to process that this weekend. I’ll put up an update with the winner hopefully by Sunday night. Hopefully.
When do I get around to packing up a box and subsequently getting it out? Anybody’s guess.
Hey, you get what you pay for…
@ruouttaurmind Well then @shahnm can cut you out of the list of potential winners. Right?
@Kidsandliz @ruouttaurmind I aim to please!
@ruouttaurmind @shahnm Oh well in that case it would please me to win. Did I do that right? Hehehehehe
@Kidsandliz @shahnm Bath!
A ‘lot’ of fuko bags - how you managed to do that I guess I’ll never know!
@yaman If you ever scored even one, you’d call it a lot…
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
baaaaa~~~~~
wait… do I offer to do something ridiculous… is that how this works? I’ll make you a video of my tortoise playing pokemon go? lots of irrelevant and less popular things involved in that (except to me… cause Zoya is the most popular girl in this household … and the world really)
@Panegyric No, but I really want to see your video now.
@therealjrn Damn. Well… Since you asked I will make this happen anyway… cause its entertaining when she’s paying attention.
