@eddieisreal@NElmore@worldcup1994 I think you have to just be grandfathered into it now, don’t you? I’m in it. Pay $5 a month and shipping is always free.
@eddieisreal@NElmore@worldcup1994 Well those who kickstarted the meh wine got in via that route recently but that is an exception to the “new normal” around here.
@AngryCapsLock No, looks like crayfish (also known as crawfish, crawdads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, mudbugs or yabbies according to Wikipedia) to me.
@Lrok hm well on my phone i refresh when the timer is at 1 second hit buy before the page fully loads, scroll down hit the captcha square then hit buy. All in seconds. Got one at 5 am… exciting times! I’ll be sad if we all get april fools emails lol. Wonder how they have so much extra for so many fuko bags…
@Lrok@placecm They haven’t had a fucko since last Dec so they are all backed up with shit (I know the feeling). Plus my credit card has already been charged so I don’t think it is April fools.
Long time VMP member- still can’t get one… Akin to me getting a 90 yard head start in a hundred yard dash and yet I still fall on my face short of the finish line- right in a big pile of poo.
Here is my Meh-ku…
Timing hits zero-
perfect timing- not a bot!
Now it says no more
“you got your Japanese custom of Fukubukuro dating”
Really? What would Fukubukuro dating be like? I mean, does the couple wear bags over their heads? Does a guy/lady walk up to a bag and reach in and grab someone?
Good news I got one. It would be a very good April fool’s joke if Meh sent an email later saying they actually didn’t have any fukobukuro to send out, and you all just wanted a full day trying to get one.

Finally got one lol only took ALL DAY
@eddieisreal same here, glad the VMP hour is over
@eddieisreal @NElmore
Whats VMP?
@NElmore Sammme like I felt like the VMP hour was never going to end
@eddieisreal @worldcup1994 Very Meh Person, gives you benefits such as free shipping and the mentioned VMP hour.
@eddieisreal @NElmore
nooo… free shipping!! argghh.should have waited.
@worldcup1994 But you are not VMP so (1) you would not have been able to buy and (2) no free shipping for you.
@eddieisreal @NElmore @worldcup1994 I think you have to just be grandfathered into it now, don’t you? I’m in it. Pay $5 a month and shipping is always free.
@NElmore @worldcup1994 VMP is a membership that has not open enrolled new members for what feels like years
@eddieisreal @NElmore @worldcup1994 Well those who kickstarted the meh wine got in via that route recently but that is an exception to the “new normal” around here.
Wait… Did I just buy a bag of shrimp?
@AngryCapsLock possibly :^)
@AngryCapsLock Hopefully they’re Coconut Shrimp cause I just bagged 1 too!
@AngryCapsLock It could be crawfish…
@AngryCapsLock No, looks like crayfish (also known as crawfish, crawdads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, mudbugs or yabbies according to Wikipedia) to me.
@AngryCapsLock knowing fukobukuro, this could be anything. (not ruling out the crawfish though)
@mehmoth I think I realized that almost immediately after hitting send. I think I’ll be equally “pleased” with either one.
@AngryCapsLock I think neither shrimp nor crawfish are something you want shipped Fedex SmartPost.
@AngryCapsLock @craigthom Unless they’re alive- they could ship two and you’d have a meal for a family of four by the time it gets to you.
@craigthom @Seeds It could be fine if they pack it with dry ice. I’m signing my own death warrant, aren’t I?
@AngryCapsLock yup.
This is just dumb. I obviously don’t know the secret to getting one in less than one second.
A fast internet connection and lots of rehearsal on mouse movements
@Lrok
Got one, but had to stay awals till 4am
@NElmore and you can’t be a robot either

@placecm “Hello trash company? Can you divert a few truckloads to our warehouse?”
@Lrok @placecm They haven’t had a fucko since last Dec so they are all backed up with shit (I know the feeling). Plus my credit card has already been charged so I don’t think it is April fools.
/wails in misery…but I LOVE crawdads!!!
60 this round + 2344 total before = 2404
I am heading out. Be back in a few hours. Good luck all.
@todaresq Have a good time! I’ll try and remember to keep track, but no guarantees.
@todaresq You can’t leave-I was hoping for a final count from you.
Worst idea ever. Pull this hacker crap on Easter. For shame.
@dopepeddler Best idea ever. Pull this hacker crap on April Fool’s. For game.
@dopepeddler Don’t you know that suffering is good for the soul??

I got mine at 0100 after only four failures.
My Captcha was just the checkbox, though. Google thinks I’m special, anyway.
@craigthom well, you must be; they probably know everything about you…
I finally got one (my first ever) today but only after giving up on the iPhone and switching to the desktop.
Was reading the meh page, and noted the phrase…
“you got your Japanese custom of Fukubukuro dating”
Really? What would Fukubukuro dating be like? I mean, does the couple wear bags over their heads? Does a guy/lady walk up to a bag and reach in and grab someone?
Thoughts??

Bet we all get meh throw pillows. I can’t imagine anyone hitting the buy button on those things, so they must have lots left.
@hotrodder
1075 sets of pillows were sold on 12/25/2017.
517 sets were sold 3/30/2018.
@hotrodder @PlacidPenguin I bought some from Morningsave too. So soft and fuzzy!
@sammydog01
I’m sure they are.
Once again, my words have been proven wrong! Now I really want throw pillows!
@hotrodder …and a knife! and a bluetooth speaker!
@hotrodder
/giphy You’re one of us now.
My first Fukobukuro! So excited!
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH Still processing… it’s killing me, I wonder what’s the longest anyone waited for a Fuko?
@denverrr3 its usually several weeks.
Are you a god? How did you find it? Apparent I’m just a little slow.

Scheduled Delivery: 4/21/2018
