So if you get an IRK for having the tattoo… What would meh.com give if you had your middle name changed to meh?
This is actually a semi serious question. Long story, but when I became a citizen they screwed up and legally made my middle name my first and vice versa.
I don’t like my middle (now first) name.
I can get my name legally switched back if go through the courts, but always felt like if I did that, I was going to have some fun with changing my middle name.
@yakkoTDI yes, I was Soup Onion before the naturalization.
Yeah, I want to do something more creative than making “Danger” my actual middle name… I probably won’t completely remove a name as it is what my parents gave me, but I’ll probably add an extra middle name to have some fun. I’ve considered making my initials spell out a word. Another idea was to make my middle name “Asecret” so when people ask what my middle name is, I can tell them it’s “Asecret”.
@OnionSoup I lobbied hard with my wife to get my son named Sirius, with a middle name of Lee… so when he was in full-name trouble it word “Sirius Lee [last name]?”. She did not approve - go figure!
@djslack lol no. It’s todays page from an ‘Origami a day’ desk calendar. I thought I’d use it. I only got through to March, when I realized I really suck at folding paper. Even then I didn’t do them daily, more like a week at once or multiple weeks at once.
@djslack@remo28 Hah, I guess we posted comments at the same time, and now it looks like I pointed out the obvious, but I hadn’t seen yours before writing mine.
@sunnysideup22 Did you even read my answer up above when you asked about enrollment?
EDIT: If they had decided to offer it again, they usually make an announcement, on the forum, that if you get one, during a certain time period, you will get a free IRK, just like we are getting IRKs now.
If it happens, it is usually around Meh’s birthday, but not always.
Right now, there are a dozen of us who have tattoos.
@sunnysideup22 You’re welcome. BTW, there are some forum threads about how the tattoo offer got started (it was a joke), and the other times that Meh made the offers (they were not jokes).
@Barney@sunnysideup22 yeah earlier this year around the end of March they said if you get one before the next mehrathon it will count. Well there is almost always something on April Fools day. So there was about a week it was open. I got my meh tattoo on April Fools day, fitting. It took me days to find a place I could get an appointment at before the time was up. I don’t live in or near a big city. And the nearby big cities were all booked on the weekend. So I thought I would miss it. And just barely made the cut off.
@Barney@remo28@sunnysideup22 yeah I got mine on March 31st, just in time. And had to book at a parlor in a different state because I was on vacation that week… but dagnabbit, i wanted in the club
I mean do you just show up with a tattoo and hope to get invited or was there an event that happened that all of you joined up or does Meh just spin a wheel and you get an email that says hey if you get a tattoo you can join the group…just wondering…
I can’t add a photo to a topic I start on my phone. So here’s the proof required. @thumperchick you’re amazing!
Hey, this time there are IRKs galore! Thanks Meh and @thumperchick!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
@Thumperchick
Thank you @Thumperchick!
Today is not the day I get better at taking this picture.
Really should have thought of placement.
@gr8mick1 This is why mine is on my ankle
easy place to get a photo
@gr8mick1 You got it easy compared to @sammydog01.
@Barney @gr8mick1 Getting ready to do some stretching before I get my camera out.
@Barney @sammydog01 I might add a date line next trip to the inker

@OnionSoup So your middle name was Onion? What is your old first name?
Also, I support having fun with the name change.
@yakkoTDI yes, I was Soup Onion before the naturalization.

@Jasongb Your wife must not be a big enough HP fan
@OnionSoup @yakkoTDI And Irk would pronounce it “Ace Kret.”
Almost forgot a mehrathon started last night.
@remo28 is that geometry homework?
@djslack lol no. It’s todays page from an ‘Origami a day’ desk calendar. I thought I’d use it. I only got through to March, when I realized I really suck at folding paper. Even then I didn’t do them daily, more like a week at once or multiple weeks at once.
@djslack @remo28
Or origami instructions?
@djslack @remo28 Hah, I guess we posted comments at the same time, and now it looks like I pointed out the obvious, but I hadn’t seen yours before writing mine.
Wait, do you get an IRK every time there is a mehrethon for having a tattoo? I thought it was a one time thing…might have to rethink this.
@kykazaa It isn’t open for enrollment.
@kykazaa every time irks are sold on meh. Last mehrathon there were no IRKs.
@djslack @Pony @kykazaa Last mehrathon we were unloved.
@kykazaa @Pony Why isn’t it open for enrollment?
@kykazaa @Pony @sunnysideup22 Do you think Meh wants EVERYONE to get a free IRK? They will decide when or if they will open it up again.
my apologies for the unusually bad picture, i’m trying my best (probably)
thanks @Thumperchick and @ChadP!
So anyone can do this?
@sunnysideup22 Only if invited by Meh.
@Barney So then how do you get invited?
@sunnysideup22 Did you even read my answer up above when you asked about enrollment?

@Barney Well that makes sense. Thank you for explaining so calmly and completely. Much appreciated.
