Fukubukuro Fanny Pack and Backpack Giveaway
16Free to a good home!
I've been doing a little spring cleaning around the Command Center and figure someone else might have a better use for these than me!
To be entered into a sweepstakes for these lovely items (and maybe receive a bonus item or two) please submit an original MS Paint drawing OR limerick.
The submission that has the most stars by 2/26/2016 at 1700 EST is the winner and I will coordinate and ship you the bags (and maybe some other random stuff that I would rather gift to a Mehtizen vs donating the items to the Salvation Army).
Good luck!

So, the giveaway is actually a contest.
@MrsPavlov
Well you see, it's a giveaway but I guess I want to encourage creative thought in the process vs someone just saying "Me" "I'm in" "+1", etc. I thought it would be a fun way to give something back to the community.
It seems it is too late to edit my post and mark it as a contest but I would if I could!
@jjohns71 That's cool - I just thought perhaps a clarification of the thread title? (I had more to my post including a limerick but we lost connectivity before I had a chance to edit, and frankly my limerick, in retrospect, wasn't all that great - plus I already have multiples of both bags - so I should pass)
Hey! that is the extremely rare fukObukuro meh fanny pack... I have one already so I will defer.
Fukus are incredibly rare.
A free bag, do I enter? Do I dare?
I entered a post
to be starred the most.
And now I f5 and I stare.
A Black fuko was an anomaly
(That means that you won't find one commonly)
Because fukus are red
'til the last, pink instead
New diversity in Meh's fu-conomy
One wonders how Meh's color-ology
Will change future fu-pigmentology
Are rainbows ahead?
or will colors be shed?
In new chapters of Meh's fu-anthology...
P.S. I don't need the bags either; I have them. But I can't resist a doggerel challenge. If elected, unlikely with this site's creative-heavy user base, I pre-abdicate.
I was once on this site called woot
And their bags of Crap were a hoot
But they told me "these are not for you"
So I searched all around
For a bad that wasn't Brown
And stumbled onto Fuku
I suck at limericks
@Squid_07
A limerick isn't so hard
though its rhythm and rhyme you must guard
If it doesn't sound right
try with all of your might
To pretend that you should be a Bard.
And when all else fails in your quest
to find just the right word, such as zest,
Just google the rhyme
(there it is, just in time!)
And your limerick might be the best!
Once there was a site called meh
That sold some things that were bleh
But hitting the button
Did not get you mutton
Screw it I've lost anyway
@regnowsin maybe not? It's a close primary race!
@jjohns71 true. But I try not to raise my expectations. But, who knows, maybe mediocrity has it's own rewards.
straight outta Carrollton!
A crazy motherfucker named @Snapster,
From the gang called Mediocre Labs bruh!
When he's called off, sells speaker dock off,
From the buyers and the shipments are hauled off.
Fedex smartpost are gonna come and get them.
to be delivered to the Mehricans.
except the east coast, cause fuck them!
yo Matt, tell 'em where you from.
Straight outta Carrollton!
@carl669 yes.
Fukubukuru
Sell out before you blink. So fast.
None for me. Or you.
@RobinBobcat 5, 8, 5?
@carl669 Refurbished haikus
They were supposed to be fixed
Looks like it wasn't.
Woot was one deal, one day
Then Amazon proceeded to pay
One hundred and ten mills
Made changes, fun killed
So now we have meh, hooray!
Does it have to be ms or can a actually paint something???
@boredashell paint away! No need to do ms paint!
This took me dozens of seconds to make:

If anyone wants the original file, it's a whopping 7.27 kb.
@luvche21 - I think they need the file when they print the shirt.
@KDemo Shirt licensing for this work of art is pretty pricey though. It takes at least 5 gold stars.
@luvche21 If you're going to offer the original file, you might want to consider Creative Commons vs. copyright.
@Pavlov Good to know - I'm only really familiar with music copyrighting (for scores mainly). But, I did some searching and found the right CC license for me:
@luvche21, @tHumperChick could replace your copyright symbol with a Creative Commons symbol so you can always be attributed for your dozens of seconds of hard work.
BTW, See: https://creativecommons.org/about/downloads/
Could the drawing be of anything?
@FroodyFrog Yes! Creativity is appreciated!
Just for fun.
(I was going to have the goat eat a bag, but that didn't happen, so I blame @Lotsofgoats. I was also gonna have bags scattered around the tree, but that would desecrate the nobility of the bags.)
How the hell do I put a picture on this thing
@boredashell
You could upload to imgur (or any other image hosting site), and then share the link in a post (the link which ends with .png, .jpg etc)
thank you dear stranger named after a frog, for fixing this dilemma that put me in a bog
I painted a picture of something rare, like unicorn or stag or an albino black bear
In search of something worthy of all your stars, so I can claim my first fuku placed next to my cars
(TC edit - FTFY)
Well I tried
@boredashell I like the color combinations. Orange is my favorite color.
@Mellaine it's called the extraterrestrial moonset
@boredashell I like it too. In the lower left hand side is that an alien orange avocado cut in half with pit still present, or something else entirely? Oblong flying saucer maybe?
@duodec it is funny you say avocado because my best friend gave me crap saying the same. But through my eyes I see a space craft on a planet far from here
@boredashell Not giving crap, just seeking enlightenment. Perhaps it is oblong/teardrop shaped to more effectively push through the resistance of the ether in an alternate universe where that theory still holds sway (the one my username came from actually ;)
I'm pretty sure you will recognize my talent in MS Paint
I decided to make an image and enter this give-away contest sweepstakes thingy which is probably void in one or more New England states and anywhere else by applicable law.
If by some miracle I actually win, I promise to immediately hold another give-away contest sweepstakes thingy to award the bags away from me (as I have them already).
No rights reserved, you may reproduce this image like rabbits multiply in Springtime (all over the fucking place). Preferably on t-shirts. But really, any reproduction is fine.
いわんといt！！^_^
there once was a meh from nantucket
meh thought meh had ordered a bucket
but an uncaring cookoo
pooped in a fuku
and sent it to me so i kept it
For two packs (namely, back and a fanny),
I would scour every nook, every cranny.
But what would I do
For that bonus (or two)?
Maybe get a goat (like a nanny)?
I knew a cat that wondered around
She loved to smack the face of a hound
She'd hiss and she'd spit
And throw a big fit
Till he locked himself in the pound
@Pantheist dammit, noticed just too late
@Pantheist I knew a cat that wAndered around
She loved to smack the face of a hound
She'd hiss and she'd spit
And throw a big fit
Till he locked himself in the pound
Congrats @Bluedragon07 we have a winner! @Bluedragon07 what's the best way to get in touch with you to coordinate shipping?
@jjohns71 Awesome! My email is bluedragonzero7@yahoo.com. Thanks for running this.
