@medz@therealjrn@Cerridwyn well I guess that is appropriate then since most of can come in a fuko is nearly synonymous (metaphorically speaking) with poop.
@Kidsandliz looks to me like a drone making it’s own slime to cover all the unnecessary B.S. going on in this world right now. Slime them all. Sorry to all haven’t been around for awhile got this RSV virus and it’s kicking my butt. There is nothing to take for it just pray it doesn’t cause pneumonia and it hangs on for a month or more. The doc did give me some cough syrup that would take down a bull Hope your all doing well. We’re still trying to dry out down here but every little rain storm just causes flooding again. It reminds me of Ike when it took out Galveston just plain damn horrible. So we just hold our head high and just keep truckin on with a smile and a few tear’s. Gonna run cough syrup kickin in. Please keep us all in your prayers we still need them. Your all in mine. Peace ✌ out
With so many fuko threads from the Mehrathon, I don’t know if this was discussed yet. The bags in the images got darker with each round… Do you suppose the fukos get more disappointing the later in the event they were sold?
@djslack Hmm interesting. I guess when people post to the reveal thread they can say what round they were in and we can find out. Of course they may have just darkened the bags to make it easier to tell them apart when looking on the forum thread list.
@djslack my understanding is that each fuko was part of one large disappointing mecca fuko, spreading out misery and punishment to a larger group of people. If they wanted to spread disappointment, they would add the mehathon video on a cheap USB/cd to each Fuko. I had that damn song stuck in my head the whole week.
You are getting sleeeeeeeepy.
Everyday this week you will wake up and have this Ugly Kid Joe song playing in your head.
When I snap my finger you will wake up and feel fantastic.
There is always someone that starts this thread way too early.
I’m always like, oh cool they are starting to ship. That was fast. Open up, nope, just premature posting.
@Pantheist@medz - I was hoping that some people’s were already on the way - like the ones who won in the first round. Last time they shipped these really quickly. I guess not so much so this time around.
@Thumperchick Well maybe I will get lucky and it will arrive on my birthday since that is within that time frame. And if I get really, really, really, really, really lucky I might even get something considered a birthday present fuku style in there rather than a mehier than mehier fuko. (grin)
@tightwad I do know they cherry picked a few people for odd items (at least JonT did as you’d get a call and what some people got sort of fit with something they had posted about at times). Of course since he left I have no idea.
@Cerridwyn Not as fun as you might think. A few years in a row, I would make my own custom bags of crap for white elephant xmas gift exchanges. The trick is trying to balance the goods out without making the boxes all the same. Then, one person thinks their box isn’t as good as the other person’s for some reason and has a sad. Then you get accused of playing favorites and nobody likes you.
@OldCatLady Probably because they have enough trouble getting the warehouse folks to pad breakable items or tape the boxes shut; don’t even want to think about the troubles they’d have if they expected those folks to remember to make air holes cuz they don’t put enough Texas air in there to begin with most of the time…
@Ignorant@medz Why don’t one of you start a new official, unofficial shipping thread? This thread was started too soon and we already have way too many comments to wade through.
@Barney@Pantheist@Ignorant@medz probably a good idea although this thread, at least, was entertaining. Maybe it should have been called “The long wait before the shipping thread” thread.
It looks sort of like coffee or something being made, dunno wish you could see the image you see as an icon
@Cerridwyn
It’s a drone pooping.
@medz To POOP on!
@medz @therealjrn @Cerridwyn well I guess that is appropriate then since most of can come in a fuko is nearly synonymous (metaphorically speaking) with poop.
that should have been “most of what CAN come in a fuko”.
@Kidsandliz looks to me like a drone making it’s own slime to cover all the unnecessary B.S. going on in this world right now. Slime them all.

@Cerridwyn if you’re on the threads page, I click on the round icon and image search to see what it is.
I should of said that I “open image in new tab” but I suppose the image search works as well.
With so many fuko threads from the Mehrathon, I don’t know if this was discussed yet. The bags in the images got darker with each round… Do you suppose the fukos get more disappointing the later in the event they were sold?
@djslack Hmm interesting. I guess when people post to the reveal thread they can say what round they were in and we can find out. Of course they may have just darkened the bags to make it easier to tell them apart when looking on the forum thread list.
@djslack I think they will all be the same level of disappointment, regardless of which round you got one.
@djslack I didn’t notice that until the last bag. Cool. I would be surprised if they put that much effort into packing the boxes though.
@sammydog01 I’d be surprised too.
@djslack my understanding is that each fuko was part of one large disappointing mecca fuko, spreading out misery and punishment to a larger group of people. If they wanted to spread disappointment, they would add the mehathon video on a cheap USB/cd to each Fuko. I had that damn song stuck in my head the whole week.
For all you winners…
(actually, congrats. I hope you get good stuff - ok, nevermind)
@mfladd Thanks I didnt even click the video and now I got that song stuck in my head.
@APDWaldo6 +1
@APDWaldo6 On a positive note, I never knew who sang that song and now I do. So…win?

@mfladd You should try to be nicer. We’re all neighbors on this glorious planet.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood,
Won’t you be my,
Won’t you BE, my fuckin’ neighbor?
@mfladd
Took me a while to realized you had actually never gotten one.
This saddens me. The chaotic universe needs to arrange for you to get one sometime. Even if it’s only full of junk.
Because I say so.
@G1 Try to be nicer? Me? The Dark GoaT? Someone has to be the asshole around here. I fit the bill.
@f00l Well that is a kind thought. Thank you.
@APDWaldo6 Watch this pattern. Keep watching it.
You are getting sleeeeeeeepy.
Everyday this week you will wake up and have this Ugly Kid Joe song playing in your head.

@MrMark I always liked it better when the first person to notice his/hers shipped or arrived started the shipping and reveal threads.
@Pantheist I agree. I blame
/goat
@Pantheist @medz - I was hoping that some people’s were already on the way - like the ones who won in the first round. Last time they shipped these really quickly. I guess not so much so this time around.
@Kidsandliz Even if they had, I’d like one of those in the first batch to get to make an excited post.
@Pantheist whatever… blame me for not having ESP
@Kidsandliz I knew you were going to say that.
@Kidsandliz we don’t blame you for not having esp, we blame you for thinking you did.
I got my Fuku today!!! YES!!! ITS AWESOME!!!
@phatmass As they say, “Pics or you’re a lying sack.”
@phatmass If you got a Fuku, that sucker was lost for a long, long time.
@medz
@cinoclav nope, it pays to be a VMP.
@phatmass that must be some “box of cute” subscription box you have.
/giphy nice try
@medz
/giphy why you no trust?
@phatmass Fuku vs Fuko
@cinoclav fuko
I think I know what the gif of this thread is.
I’d tell you, but I’d rather string you along and get y’all wound up.
@G1 Don’t be silly.
Come on, ship already!
/image caddyshack well we’re waiting
Oddly enough the Google Home from the same day must have shipped 5 minutes after i ordered it!
I’ve had my Qi charger and my Raspberry Pi already ship. I’m guessing this Fuko is going to be invisible. Mmmm… Invisible Fuko!
@BillLehecka You know fukos have to
marinateferment before they leave the warehouse.My two other ambivalanche orders shipped & arrived last week, no sign of fuko though.
Wow, still can’t track by reference through FedEx.
Estimated Delivery
FedEx SmartPost: Tuesday, October 10th - Monday, October 16th
It takes a long time to find enough weird crap to stuff in boxes for everyone.
@Thumperchick As long as I get a Roomba I don’t care how long it takes. Preferably sometime this year.
@Thumperchick Well maybe I will get lucky and it will arrive on my birthday since that is within that time frame. And if I get really, really, really, really, really lucky I might even get something considered a birthday present fuku style in there rather than a mehier than mehier fuko. (grin)
@Kidsandliz not happening
you’ll prolly get poo dough (for goats)
@Cerridwyn BUT… I will no longer be goat when it ships so maybe I will be saved?
@Kidsandliz If you believe that I have this bridge, in Brooklyn (or is it London, I forget) that I will sell you cheap
@Cerridwyn And I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell. Although that isn’t as farfetched as it used to be.
@OldCatLady and recently in most of SE TX unfortunately
we should draw names for who’s boxes Thumper stuffs :)
@Cerridwyn That might be dangerous. It could go both ways… Just sayin’
@Kidsandliz it could which makes it fun, in a sick sorta way that is common around here
@Cerridwyn I’m not allowed to fuko anymore. I do get to watch you all go insan… have fun, though!
@Thumperchick
What @Cerridwyn meant was that you should pack the boxes of certain people.
But since the boxes get blindly stuffed, and only after they are sealed do labels get applied, this wouldn’t work.
@mflassy My reading comprehension failed me this morning.
They don’t let me pack fukos. It’s probably for the best.
@mflassy assuming this is how it works…maybe they do cherry pick/create custom boxes…or categories of boxes (contains big/weird items vs normal)
@tightwad I do know they cherry picked a few people for odd items (at least JonT did as you’d get a call and what some people got sort of fit with something they had posted about at times). Of course since he left I have no idea.
@Thumperchick wouldn’t it be fun to do though?
@Cerridwyn Not as fun as you might think. A few years in a row, I would make my own custom bags of crap for white elephant xmas gift exchanges. The trick is trying to balance the goods out without making the boxes all the same. Then, one person thinks their box isn’t as good as the other person’s for some reason and has a sad. Then you get accused of playing favorites and nobody likes you.
@Kidsandliz They didn’t send me one of these, no matter how many posts I made.
@OldCatLady Probably because they have enough trouble getting the warehouse folks to pad breakable items or tape the boxes shut; don’t even want to think about the troubles they’d have if they expected those folks to remember to make air holes cuz they don’t put enough Texas air in there to begin with most of the time…
@medz meh, fun is fun
@OldCatLady uuummmm yes please!
@OldCatLady Can I have one too?
/image ohmygurd
Label created.
@Ignorant me too
16x12x10 in
2.2 lbs
/giphy super stoked
@medz exactly the same for me too! I think they r messing w us lol
@Ignorant @medz Why don’t one of you start a new official, unofficial shipping thread? This thread was started too soon and we already have way too many comments to wade through.
@Ignorant @medz yes please. Lets be done with this nonsense of shipping threads started by people who haven’t had their bag shipped.
@Barney @Pantheist @Ignorant @medz probably a good idea although this thread, at least, was entertaining. Maybe it should have been called “The long wait before the shipping thread” thread.
Do we all get different delivery dates? Mine says :
“FedEx SmartPost: Monday, October 30th - Friday, November 3rd”.
I’m not complaining, just curious.
@cfg83 And just like that, the meh gods have blessed me with a shipping date. Someone up there (or in Texas) heard (or read) me.
