@OnionSoup kind of yes, actually, between a great vacuum cleaner and giving us almost all the cookware my girlfriend and i are using at our new apartment!
@philphs will you give me credit so I can start up my business selling wee-ja boards?
My idea is to put Weeja boards in the bottom of toilets (a bit like Ouija boards but it’s to pee on)… Then when youve drank too many spirits you pee in the toilet and ask the ghosts questions and they direct your stream to give answers.
I’m thinking $100million should get me set up for production.
I mean, at this point, you’re not even trying to show that this photo was taken today, and wasn’t just taken over a year ago as part of an elaborate plan to have a photo for every day by advancing the clock on your phone and taking a photo and then advancing it again and taking another photo and then advancing it again…
I’m not asking for elbowed mashed potatoes, but I do want to see an actual newspaper with today’s date (even though the likelihood of you getting a newspaper delivered in 2020 is pretty damned slim )!
@curtise that’s an incredibly convoluted concern, and the actual Meh staff has never had a problem with the proof i have provided. as you said, i don’t even know where to get a newspaper in 2020.

I’m that guy that still gets a paper thrown in the yard every day (well, at least when they can keep a delivery guy employed for any length of time…)
If it will help I can mail you one of mine…

@Sugaree1956 Irk is the mascot of the site (depicted in the above tattoo). They renamed the Fukubukuro (analogous to woot’s bag of crap) to Irk, which stands for Instant Regret Kit (aka, you pay $5 for a bunch of random stuff from the warehouse you’re likely to have no use for, and a canvas bag that says Instant Regret Kit). The hype is real, as per the fact sometimes you get rather valuable things.
@Sugaree1956 instant regret kit… it’s what replaced the fuku/fuko (random box of junk that they can’t sell for one reason or another and a bag to commemorate it).
I’ve not won many, but I’ve had everything from $100+ hairdriers that appeared to be in perfect condition, to refurbished foodsavers, to…
my last box came wide open with not taped and had nothing but leaking poo pourri (gives me nasty migraines) and a cheap handbag (which was soaked in poo pourri when it got to me.
… and I suspect since this is the third mehrathon in three months (and they’ve done IRKs in all three) that they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel for junk they can send us. I’m really not expecting anything good this time. It’s just too soon after two other irks for them to have anything worth sending out already… or so I suspect.
If you get a tattoo that says @barney, @dave, or @moonhat, I don’t know if that would be endearing or terrifying. I’m talking w/ the ‘@’ before the handle included. I won’t know until you do it though…but not that I’m asking…or not asking.
forgot to tag @dave and @ChadP whoops
Do you get free stuff for this?
@ecanada a free IRK every time they’re offered, yeah.
@ecanada one time offer, so don’t get any crazy ideas
@medz Shhhh. Let more folks get Irk tattoos anyways.
Stick your arm in some mashed potatoes, or it doesn’t count.
@hems79 Irk looks hungry for mashed taters! Feed him!
I’ve no idea how much a tattoo costs… But are you ahead yet at $5 an irk?
Of course not having to actually compete to get one (and if like me, only succeed once every ten mehrathons) is a huge benefit too… Lol
@OnionSoup kind of yes, actually, between a great vacuum cleaner and giving us almost all the cookware my girlfriend and i are using at our new apartment!
can i help you?spam

@curtise Proof of life?
@curtise that’s an incredibly convoluted concern, and the actual Meh staff has never had a problem with the proof i have provided. as you said, i don’t even know where to get a newspaper in 2020.
here’s a recent receipt i clawed out of somewhere, if it will help soothe:

Now that is what I call a successful Irk proof (ignoring the fact that it is from two days ago
(I GIFfed it for you)

@ChadP I would like my Irk as well please!
@raptorgorawr That’s either a rough angle or your toe bends at 90 degrees.
/giphy angle
@dzieciom
I don’t know what you are talking about. They are perfect for these boots and pointy high heeled shoes.
Being on pointe too early can do funny things to your feet.
What is an irk? I’m old. lol

So sometimes you score - sometimes you get junk.

@OnionSoup
And more next month for their birthday.
@er1c Got it. Thanks. lol I love junk.
@OnionSoup Three words:
Glitter
Candy
Corn
I started a different thread for my ugly foot, but I will cover my bases and pile on here as well.
@Dave or @ChadP, can you help me out please?
@themeerkat, @raptorgorawr see, now this works!

@njfan
/giphy dooooo it
@moonhat @njfan That kind of tattoo would scare the shit out of me.
@Barney Even if I got it done in purple?
@curtise Aw… I love purple.
@TheMeerkat @raptorgorawr @Jasongb - all 3 of you are now set.
Thanks for leaving our weird mascot or logo on your body?
@Thumperchick thanks so much!
