Help @jont do his job!
18Mehniacs,
In this last year, Meh has done an admirable job of keeping the community engaged. I'd like to personally thank @jont and @hollboll for staying engaged. It's not an easy task, as many of us are assholes. Sometimes one has to resort to promising tokens, great or small, to solicit participation. Some of these trinkets are known: Drinking Terrible Buttons, backdrop paper with pictionary drawings of trolls and socks in a deadly embrace, etc. Others are not (Valentine's day kiss, St. Patrick's Day cheers, etc).
@JonT has the unenviable job of tracking and coordinating the shipments of these trinkets. Let's face it. It's a shitty job. The hundreds of emails to be returned, manning the massive amounts of forum window tabs, and not doing the labstream any more takes up minutes, almost hours per day! The list has grown. It's become too overwhelming for one man to handle.
You, Meh community, have been drafted. If you have been offered a prize of some sort- post it here. Not as a bitch or complaint. That's not what we're all about (this time). We are a helpful community. We're going to create a nice little list for @jont to work from. We will keep it positive and encouraging.
We love you, @jont, and we're here to help.
P.S. Don't expect anything to come from this.

Here's mine:
@jont, you can forget about my list and send me today's meh shirt in an XL since I couldn't grab one. I can be bought.
@marklog what happened to the saison challenge?
@Kevin one more thing for @jont's list:
* Send @marklog shipping label for beer.
@marklog You'll get better results if you send a support request in for that.
@marklog was anyone announced as winners for st. Patrick's day?
@jont promised me Santa was real.
i suppose i was also the April goat. so, there's that. but i won't hold my breath. because i like to breathe. so fuck you breath-holders.
I entered a whole bunch of daily meh contests over the past year and won all of them! There was a fee to enter and if I won they sent me something totally strange, like knives and shirts and speakers and seizure glasses and weird usb/micro usb dongles that are too awkward to actually use. Thanks meh!
Also, I never bought a speaker dock, and for that reason I feel like the biggest winner of them all!
-Drinking Terrible button from 5/23/2015
I worry because we're about to move...as long as JonT sends it to my current address on my account, I should be good since we'll have a week overlap time.
@medz you are taking this way too seriously.
@marklog This is VERY important!
@marklog You're wrong. Free stuff is ALWAYS very serious.
@medz is also waiting for his marmoset prize
@sammydog01 No doubt! If I won that contest, I want my imaginary hug, damn it!
I should have a goat prize coming from Sept 2014.
Pretty sure I might have won other shit too.
@JonT is a gentleman and a scholar, his word is his bond. He will get to it...eventually. To be fair, prize time limits were never actually agreed upon. So, he's good.
@studerc gentleman and a scholar? Perhaps you know a different @JonT than I.
@MEHcus perhaps...I like to imagine my @JonT strolling down the lane on an ol' timey Victornian style bicycle sipping on a cup of tea. He reads and writes eloquent poetry while also fencing against the worlds best! During dinner he is the life of the party until he begins to drink his whiskey and begins to scream about war stories and his paranoia sets in.
Or...
He is just happy that he remembered to wear pants this morning. A beard you say?...nope this just my 5 o clock shadow. Now, where did i set my beer? Before i leave today i need to make open promises to random internet people that theyll get "prizes"...I'll show them prizes...Bends down and shits into boxes.
Either or.
@studerc I like a nice mix of both. Perhaps with a little rapey-pillaging mixed in. Like he is an AMAZING captain of both land and sea--BUT totally a rapey bastard with a huge internal battle going on because he was never good enough for his father.
@studerc new thread topic: "How I like to imagine my @jont". This is brilliant.
Old goat badge on my profile. And goat bling. I was told there would be goat bling.
@lisaviolet
@denboy snorty laugh....
@JonT I would really, really like an old goat badge, but I also think that all goats should receive a rhinestone tiara in remembrance of a "job well done" for their month of goat servitude. Nothing elaborate, just a simple, plain tiara
*
Oh, look, there's a purple one! (How's that for goat bling, @lisaviolet?)
@Barney My breath...it's been taken....
In the 70s and 80s, Marvel Comics used to send out the No-Prize to its dedicated fans. It was, literally, no prize: an empty envelope with nothing inside. Today, Marvel's movies gross billions, and their characters are enjoyed worldwide. So apparently the secret of success is lots of shitty prizes. On the other hand, Marvel went bankrupt in the 90s, so perhaps the secret of failure is lots of shitty prizes. Actually I probably have no point at all here.
@Starblind In any case, it's your fault.
I like to think there is a office rule at mediocre that anytime anyone ask for something in the forums it automatically pushes all request/prizes back another month. So items should start shipping October of 2027
@MrMark I believe this to be the case also. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a script was written to count such requests and automatically calculate.
I've had 2 of my Mad Ape Den submissions used in videos.
For the first (Shot through the Heart), I got a pretty sweet back pack and a couple of travel mugs.
For the second (https://meh.com/forum/topics/you-gotta-fight-for-your-right-to-party-mad-ape-den-karaoke), I got a sound bar with no power supply, Jlab earbuds, and an assortment of other audio related stuff that I can't recall at the moment.
Thanks @JonT! Keep up the great work!
On a side note, we used the backpack for a family trip to Disney World. While standing in line at Epcot, I had a guy from Brazil stop me and compliment it. He wanted to know if I had bought it onsite as he wanted one. I had to explain Meh.com to him and pulled the site up on my phone to show him. So, if you've seen an influx of orders from Brazil, you're welcome! :)
I won the Valentine's Day kiss contest. Thanks for the thread @marklog to consolidate this all in one place.
I won the @broseph photoshop contest and won me a swanky pair of Panasonic On-Ear headphones.
@ACraigL Atta boy, wear them with pride!
@Broseph As you did before me.
The only contests that I win are the ones I enter. So to keep it fair, I don't enter. :)
Worst Pickup Line:
"I'd like to enter you like a contest!"
@unoriginal26 and the best part, "No purchase necessary."
uuuummmmmm why is the picture of my Camp Kachina Trophy the image for this thread? That's definitely it, its on one of the chairs in my living room. this is weird.
I'm just happy to be here - I'm good.
@JonT Don't pay any attention to @Pavlov, he's under the influence of drugs. He, too, wants an old goat badge after we retire him as our goat. And wouldn't he look lovely in a purple tiara?
@Barney They should make @Pavlov's Retired Goat Badge be in a full body cast.
@Thumperchick @Barney Okay, okay - I'm really here because I HEARD THERE WOULD BE NACHOS.
BTW - and I don't know if it is the painkillers or what, but every time I read @jont in lowercase, my mind sees @ joint and I start to @ jones.
@Thumperchick Most definitely.
I don't think I've won anything. Unless we're doing goat prizes at some point, then yeah - I'd like in on that. But not holding my breath or expecting it.
Bath.......what do I win? :)
THANKS EVERYONE, YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GUY FEEL GOOD ABOUT HIMSELF.
This is actually pretty helpful and I'll get it done ASAP! Might need to call in @JasonToon for some backup on how easy it is to not send prizes.
This still has no declared winner (spoiler alert, it was me).
I won the (insert best prize you got here) from that one contest not so long ago. Kinda bummed in never got it but didn't want to complain..... Too much
I got a drinking terrible badge, that was great. thanks @jont
Thankfully, I didn't win any prizes..it terrifies me anytime @jont comes up with random contests ..like "bath" .. I cannot fathom the depths of their imagination when it comes to the creativity of prizes.. They constantly amaze me!
In addition to my drinking terrible button, I'm waiting on my prize for the show us your meh swag contest. You can go ahead and send this one as my address info is accurate and current.
I haven't won any meh prizes, and my well-managed expectations is the greatest prize of all.
I am very confused about something from OP .
@marklog writes : " I'd like to personally thank @jont and @hollboll for staying engaged."
If they stayed engaged and @JonT got recently engaged to someone else too....Does that mean:
A. @JonT and @hollboll split up
B. JonT is living a double life
C. We celebrate this diversity usually reserved for people living in Utah or on cable TV
D. We sign them both/all up for cult deprogramming
E. Other ____
@ceagee I didn't @hollboll was engaged (and @marklog didn't say she was engaged to @jonT) and regardless, all of this confusion is @sohmageek's fault.
@DaveInSoCal @marklog meant "engaged " In a different way. I was just being goofy. But apparently it didn't fly. I blame @sohmageek too. Damn goat.
So...@JonT...how's this going?
@studerc I am now utterly convinced that your incessant nagging/reminders about goat prizes is why no single goat has ever gotten a prize.
@Thumperchick haha, this isnt even about the goat prize. I gave up. I am however focusing on the three other prizes i am currently owed!
@studerc Fair enough!
@Thumperchick no worries. He said that labels were printed and items were being picked out like 2 weeks ago or something. Havent seen nothing, convinced that @hollboll/@MEHcus and the CS crew will have prizes shipped before @JonT. :)
Honestly, I don't like to enter contests here in fear of actually winning.
@Kevin that's probably wise
I prefer to whine than win, but I did get some free socks I've never worn and the T-Shirt I have on now. Does that make me a Mehrican? I have missed so much by just clicking the Meh thingy every night (almost), I've never even heard of Goats or Beer Fuku or any of this stuff the popular crowd is doing, where did I go wrong?
Speaking of prizes, what did the Mad Ape Den writers win?
