@carl669 To be clear, you get one when they sell it and you are lucky enough to be one of the first to buy it without the server crashing and/or it selling out.
yeah, so far the one and only Fuku (besides the kickstarter one) has been put up at midnight just like any other item. The best way to be sure you get the next one is just to check every night.
@carl669 I couldn't do that to anyone. It's bad enough I thought about it at first and can't get the tune out of my head. I can't see YouTube vids on my work computer but I didn't need to...
@Cinoclav and @carl669 I had to find the secret easter egg link on the page. Keep refreshing until you see the advertisement for the washable dog diapers. Then click on the "learn more" link. The FUKU purchase page appears. You can only buy one but hurry before they sell out.
@npsantini you have to leave a certain number of forum comments referencing @cengland in some fashion. Once you reach the "fuku number" you'll receive an email from meh with your tracking information. Don't give up!
@DaveInSoCal No, that's not true. Don't listen to this guy. In fact, I think if you mention the goat of the month, the FUKU easter egg link goes away for you.
@DaveInSoCal I've heard that if you say "@cengland0" three times while holding a candle and looking into a mirror, something horrible will happen. Or was that "@ceagee, @ceagee, @ceagee"? If anything bad happens after you do that, the only cure is to reference @cengland0 12 different times in at least 12 different threads. You know you wanna see if it works.
@joelmw That explains why things went south after I brushed my hair today. I guess I need to go goat hunting. @cengland0 this is my first attempt to salvage my day.
This is like any other religion. Which is to say that you dedicate yourself to the nonsensical values and ritual of the cult, commit key passages of the myth to heart and accept its core principles somewhere in the innermost temple of your spirit. Then serendipitously (which is to say, there's no fucking way of knowing exactly when and don't trust anyone who tries to give you a formula, because they're full of shit and most likely trying to sell you something [else]) one day the thing you've been waiting for just happens and you attribute it to divine favor, because, well, that's what it means to be faithful.
Specifically . . . There are goat sacrifices and incantations to Irk involved. The wise and devout will discern in the apparent incomprehensibility of these forums a kind of catechism. @matthew leads us occasionally in worship choruses. Instead of the tree of life we have this thing called the breakfast octopus, which sort of sits in the center of the meh cosmos, branching out to bring meh order and introduce random bits of divine chaos.
And, so, yaknow, do all of that, stumble along. If you're sufficiently meh of heart, one day out of nowhere (probably at the time specified and probably after you've already bought a speaker dock or two and otherwise wasted your money on worthless shit), meh will say "fuku, faithful disciple." And you will respond, "blessed am I among peoples . . ." et cetera, et cetera.
You'll give them your money, be greatly disappointed but still come back for more, because you're a sap like that. But fear not. We're more or less as bad as you. You're among friends.
BTW, some of us have received two fukus, which have been disturbingly meaningful events in our lives. It's up to you to decide whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
If you decide that it's a good thing, you're a sick individual (damn you, CAH, I so want to say "horrible person," which is probably true, but until the meh-CAH comingling [I'm not sure that a full-on merger is called for, just something vaguely coital], just seems wrong) who probably deserves everything bad that follows from your involvement here. But if you decide that that's a good thing, sadly, you can't go back to the original Kickstarter or subsequent first general fuku. Sorry.
We're pretty sure there will be a second fuku (the meh-ssianic return, if you will), which you could participate in and then, like we, hold that and gloat over the next batch of newbs. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if rich guy @snapster tried to take another $10 a pop from sorry saps like us again in the guise of a different sort of Kickstarter. Sigh, we'd probably give it to him, too, because he's reasonably likable.
@joelmw Now since you brought up the religious angle, let's get (to nearly quote Olivia Newton-John) metaphysical: Those of us who've received second shipments... have we gotten two fukubukuro or three?
@editorkid Motherfuck. Sure, go ahead and interrupt my gloating to out-gloat me. Maybe meh doesn't love me after all. Fuck fuck fuck. (This, btw, bears an uncanny resemblance to certain religious feelings I had in my youth. Though I would never have said "fuck" back then.)
@editorkid I think you've received maybe 2.5, with the qualification that the .5 is transcendent. Y'all are like meh saints. And it's uncouth to say this out loud, but, yes, you're better than we are.
@editorkid BTW, I think my "like we" in the main comment is wrong. It just seemed right in the moment. You're the editor; what do you think? I guess it seems like it could go either way somehow. But that's probably delusional. I hate shit like that. I mean I hate it if it's definitely one or the other and I've got it wrong. If it could legitimately go either way or I somehow got it right, I don't hate it so much.
I used to want a fuku (or the BOC), but now I'm rather proudly holding on to the concept of NOT ever having one. It's strangely akin to virginity - once you get a fuku, you are forever changed. Maybe there's a Meh purity ring I should be wearing.
@Pamtha Bless your heart, dear. You cling to that virginity. We're dirty, nasty, lewd heathens, all of us fuku-ers. And, yaknow, your not being in the pool in this case means more for the rest of us.
On a serious note, check back every night at 12:00 ET. You may get lucky.
essentially, you get one when they sell it. which might be at any time. so check the site constantly. constantly meaning at 11pm central time.
@carl669 To be clear, you get one when they sell it and you are lucky enough to be one of the first to buy it without the server crashing and/or it selling out.
YOU DON'T
Don't forget to also check it at 0:00 EST as well.
@bluedyn @carl669
@TaRDy
@TaRDy what about 0800 zulu?
@bluedyn @TaRDy @carl669 You can also check it at 9:00 PM Pacific Time
@TaRDy Or 23:00 CST
yeah, so far the one and only Fuku (besides the kickstarter one) has been put up at midnight just like any other item. The best way to be sure you get the next one is just to check every night.
Hmm, I just went to fuku.meh.com to get mine. You all didn't know?
@Cinoclav you mean meh.com/fuku?
@carl669 I couldn't do that to anyone. It's bad enough I thought about it at first and can't get the tune out of my head. I can't see YouTube vids on my work computer but I didn't need to...

@cengland0 Well damnit now, you've given away the secret!
@cengland0 Meh - sold out. But I did purchase the special on used dog diapers. They're even cheaper if you buy the unwashed set!
@carl669 I can't resist clicking to hear the song.
@npsantini you have to leave a certain number of forum comments referencing @cengland in some fashion. Once you reach the "fuku number" you'll receive an email from meh with your tracking information. Don't give up!
@DaveInSoCal No, that's not true. Don't listen to this guy. In fact, I think if you mention the goat of the month, the FUKU easter egg link goes away for you.
@cengland0 tl;dr Bleat

I find 9pm PST is the best time to check.

@joelmw well done
@RedHot Aw, thanks.
Fuku, who art in Carrollton, hallowed be thy name.
@joelmw "There are goat sacrifices" oh crap, that doesn't sound good.
BTW, some of us have received two fukus, which have been disturbingly meaningful events in our lives. It's up to you to decide whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

@editorkid shouldn't that be "Meh-taphysical"?
@joelmw It's correct for you to hate it. I'm trying to turn that into a win for you but I'm not sure I've succeeded.
@joelmw You prefer @cengland0 stop by personally or can he simply mail you the goat award in 2 1/2 weeks?
@Cinoclav I'm all Icarus on the goat thing. I've got sunburn and wet feathers here. He says obtusely.

I wish I knew.
No idea either. I only know about the bags. No boxes.
@pistol The bag comes in a box. Personalized, even. With your name and address and everything :)
@Kleineleh Personalized box, not bag.
