Hey Meh! Sell me some cool Meh swag!
21Sell me some cool Meh swag! Please!
Or sell me a Kickstarter K!
Or sell me some boxes full of Texas Air and nothing else!
Seriously. I’ll pay.
Because I’m both an idiot and I’m your devoted and fanatical fan.
Absolutely certifiable in both qualities, and also in valid with some other meanings of “certifiable”.
Let’s do this!
PS I did not get a Fuko today.
Damn LTE and damn my luck. 
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday!

Congrats on your Fuko success.
@Barney
“Congrats on not getting one”, I presume you intend, oh Prisoner of Kansas.
All good.
Anyways:
Unless they were to put something seriously and totally fabo in it, all I would really want would be the swag, the superior quality Texas Air, and the gloating and bragging satisfaction.
Ahem, @snapster?
Could I ever ever ever possibly be worthy?
Could I at least dream of someday being worthy?
@f00l Um, perhaps I read it wrong. Sorry you are so incompetent and unable to snag a Fuko.
I actually did read your thread opening wrong.
@Barney
Yeah, but I live here and you live there.
Rain here last night. High of 92F here today. Nice breeze all day.
How is it in Kansas?
(Ok, I confess, this is seriously and wonderfully unusual weather for July.)
@f00l We had a very enjoyable 97 degree day. Enjoyable if you were inside the house. I’ve got to mow either tomorrow or Wednesday. Yuck.
@Barney 99 here. I support my local immigrant community by hiring a local hardworking lawn service company.
They do quality work for a price I can live with. I’m a job creator. I dont discriminate on the basis of national origin. None of us are Amehricans after all, and just because my immigrant forefathers had it shitty to get here doesn’t entitle me to make sure it stays that way for everyone that isn’t already here, nor to judge my fellow Amehricans for not being 'Murican enough.
@mike808 I have this very nice, purple loving German/Comanche, who mows my lawn. Me.
Why the lecture? I can’t afford to hire someone to mow my yard. Is there something wrong with that?
@Barney
Well I hope your hair or your wig was purple when you did the mowing.
Least you could do.
@Barney Not at all. You mow. I have the luxury to trade dollars for not having to be in this heat mowing. I also maximize the use of those dollars to support my local immigrant/entrepreneur community.
Most lawn service companies are a) self-started local sole proprietor businesses, b) hire people from the local community, c) can’t be outsourced or offshored, and d) the money stays and circulates local far longer and more times in the local economy than with other places I spend my money.
Plus I get to enjoy the A/C.
@mike808 And I get to pay off my mother’s care debts. Sounds like a fair trade to me.
@f00l don’t feel alone – I am not worthy enough to even begin to think about feeling worthy
@mike808 I hope you give them 1099’s and report their income…
@sohmageek I’ll leave business compliance with employer employee/subcontractor status experts in the capable hands of Jefferson “CSA Gen. P.T. Beauregard” Sessions, III and his DOJ. Who knows? Maybe theyll get lucky and prosecute a large employer engaged in human trafficking of undocumented workers to set an example that companies are people too, and get prosecuted and go to jail just like people.
I’m a big fan of the whole “more meh swag” movement. With the lack of Fuko in my life I’ve been missing shit. Meh Koozies, Meh magnets, Meh 4k TVs, I need more meh swag.
@studerc I was seriously hoping the Meh Condoms would go through, but @snapster is more a chicken than he lets on.
@cranky1950
I wanna see the NBA promote “Meh” condoms.
I’d buy it
@coleafiory
I’d bid over the cost of a Fuko for any of those items.
@f00l me too
My wife snagged the Meh mug that came a couple of fukos ago. Since I’m trying to preserve my last Digital Equipment Corp mug, I sure could use one that wouldn’t make me cry if it broke…
@duodec I would bid the price of ten fukos for some good DEC swag.
@nolrak Heh! I missed out on a 40th anniversary banner and mug on Ebay. Just got my t-shirt, farm coat, the mug (black with gold, its beautiful), and my Digital PC drum (which I’ve never seen another of).
Meh should make drums!
@duodec I think my favorite random item I’ve found is a Digital cafeteria lunch tray (from Maynard, supposedly)
I think I saw the drum but passed on it for some reason
@nolrak I almost passed on the drum because it was PC. Meh. I (and my company) was VMS (the Open is silent) all the way. These days the company still supports a few loyal shops but mostly slums in wintel town now.
@duodec Oh damn this brings memories of command lines of days gone by. VAX/VMS system. I spent weeks upon weeks in MA at the training center. Each time a new system rolled out, off to MA for cert.
@f00l, I have some swag for you. Plenty.
Email me your address and it’s yours.
(I never scored one of the bags with a meh stress puck thing, but I have other good stuff).
@KDemo I may have a few stress pucks floating around.
@sammydog01 - Send one to @f00l?
@f00l - BTW, it’s a lovely 70 and partly cloudy at 5:30 here in Western Washington.
@KDemo Send me @f00l’s address?
@KDemo
I would take it. And you are amazing!
But first I must confess:
I am playing pathetic here.
I have some Meh swag.
I just like it, so more would be ok.
In the first place, I got a fuko once.
2 years ago today I think. And it came with some swag.
(I’m bad, it was a busy time and I never posted pictures.)
In the second place, kind souls have sent me boxes that just happened to have stuff in them.
I am very very grateful to all kind souls.
In the third place, I once nicely bribed a shall-remain-anonymous employee at Meh for a very very small favor.
Much to my surprise, I got both the favor and some swag. That person is awesome.
The bribe involved chocolate. You understand.
Now, I will always love swag, but I am not swag-less.
If more kind souls are going to offer me favors, I must be honest about my situation. I love swag, but am not bereft of it.
@KDemo
Yeah, well you do live in what I hear is nearly-paradise.
It would be just perfect if it were part of Texas. But I am still quite attracted to all those western US places.
The weather does sound more than enviable.
@f00l - Well, it does rain. I just happen to like it.
@f00l I feel your pain. I too love all things meh swag and alas, I too am doomed to wander this world fukoless. I do have shirts, but I prefer the uniqueness of say…socks. I’m kidding (sorta) but I only recently actually wore my meh socks. I kept them and the funny tag with them, everything all nice and safe. A little blonde, blue-eyed, sock obsessed minx convinced me that she should be able to wear them and that as they say is history. But I’d definitely be one of the ones in lin…um I mean online to buy some mediocre Meh branded stuff.
@mehbee wow…can you spell pushover??
G-r-a-n-d-m-a…
@mikibell Ha! In my case it’s more like Grams…but yes you’re pretty much right.
Do want
Swag swag swag swag swag swag swag swag
@dave? Prop your eyelids open please, and help those of us who are swag-poor.
@f00l I’m not sure if there’s really been all that much swag, although I have a very cool purple Meh Fuko bag compliments of Meh. (I didn’t earn it, so thanks again Meh.)
What is it that you are wanting?
@Barney
What I want is to bend @snapster and @dave to my will.
That sounds fun, doesn’t it?
/giphy "it is your destiny"
@f00l Good luck with that plan.
@Barney lol
@f00l Chocolate and specialty marketing trinkets? How much native amehrican blood runs through your veins?
@cranky1950
No idea. Reputedly I am mostly or entirely descended from the invading imperialist land-grabbers and usurpers.
@f00l That figgers, you stole our land.
