Was a little in awe. And a little infatuated I think.
In spite of the whole singing Dino thing.
And then I watched the vocabulary grow, word by word. And people would keep count of the words. It got to 9, to perhaps 14, higher - and the it got resolved by Goating @Barney.
@f00l I sort of remember now that she said she bought under a different name. I remember the growth of purple… I had forgotten until people reminded me here.

Hellooo, Yoohoo! I’m over here. Do you see me? You guys are acting as if I died and you are talking about how you remember me.

@f00l@PlacidPenguin@cinoclav If @Barney talks and no one listens does that mean she is invisible so we can continue to talk about her behind her back with impunity?
@f00l Have no life. I’m up at midnight every night just in case there’s a Fuko/u offered. I also get up at 4am to start working so I’m up at 8am in case I missed the midnight offering.
Sometimes I get it using my PC laptop, sometimes by Mac desktop. Sometimes using IE, sometimes with Chrome, sometimes with Safari. Never from my smart phone or tablet.
I am on the east coast so I have no sympathy for the east coast whiners about the switchover time.
@f00l It might take one of us who got a fuko sending @barney the purple bag to lure her out into the open. But then again she might think it is a trap.
9 or 10 I think. Being busy at a conference in a different timezone with crappy Internet hosed me once. This was before the circuit breaker nonsense, so I only had 1 shot and missed it. Don’t recall when I missed the other/s.
I’ve gotten 11. Thought I only missed last year’s VDay (and the kickstarter but that one really doesn’t count) but I guess I missed the “long live fuko” one too. Hmm
I got one. When the next one came up Meh had switched to Google’s anti-robot software. reCAPTCHA has determined that Google has not made enough profit off my information and therefore has blocked my ability to buy.
4 of the last 5-the one I missed was on a cruise and although I was there at 12:00 EST plus 17 hours in Australia the ships internet wasn’t fast enough.
11 here, plus the Kickstarter Fuku so 12 total.
@Ignorant Nice! I was counting my Kickstarter, so you’ve one upped me.
@baseba4551 Six plus Kickstarter. Looks like I missed 2 and 6-11

@mfladd
I got a new song for you. Just for that lovely mood. Go look.
@mfladd 5 …
@mfladd ☹️
Do we still have anybody with a perfect streak going?
@baseba4551
@Barney? Did you get a purple Fuko?
There were a few others as of the 14th.
@f00l
Don’t worry about @Barney. Her “friend” got one.
@PlacidPenguin
I saw.
Hi @Barney
/giphy PURPLE
@PlacidPenguin What? You are meaning her alter ego ID that we never see got one or she is being given a purple bag?
@Kidsandliz
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Kidsandliz
@Barney kinda arrived here for artistic and literary purposes. It’s well worth tracking the @Barney’s eloquent history on the site.
@Barney doesn’t purchase much. Not per se anyway.
@f00l @Kidsandliz @JonT
@Barney has learned a lot of vocabulary since Feb 11, 2015.

@PlacidPenguin
I saw that when I was prepping to be Goat. I tracked early @Barney as much as I had the energy to pull the threads.
Thx
You have a link to the one - was an item thread I think. Someone - staff? - asked @Barney about being a bot.
@f00l @Barney
@PlacidPenguin
That’s it. I saw that happen live, so to speak.

@PlacidPenguin How did you get the url to put you right at the post that is of interest?
@Kidsandliz
The time stamp by a post is also a URL.
@f00l No purple fuko for Barney. Maybe they will have them again and I will have better luck.
You guys sure talk a lot.
@PlacidPenguin Even I had to go back and remind myself of that thread and comment. Might still be my favorite @Barney response to this day.
@cinoclav @PlacidPenguin @F00l @Kidsandliz
Hellooo, Yoohoo! I’m over here. Do you see me? You guys are acting as if I died and you are talking about how you remember me.
Can you see me? Can you hear me now?
@cinoclav @f00l @Kidsandliz
I vaguely recall @Barney being fond of a color. I think it was hot pink. Or maybe it was harlequin.
/image harlequin green
@PlacidPenguin You are incorrigible.
@Barney
Apologies. U, smartass.
You know we’re all idiot assholes right?
Forgive if u can.

@Barney
@PlacidPenguin
I think the two known “completists” are @cengland0 and @whistlingwilly.
Anyone know another?
They have better isps and better wrists and better attention spans than I.
@Barney Can we hear you now? Nope. NO bars…
@f00l Not any better or faster – just lucky (or unlucky in the case of the fuko). Don’t believe the ISP has anything to do with it either.
@PlacidPenguin Or maybe it was this?
@cengland0
Perhaps you two completists have better attention spans.
Or better attention spams.
@f00l @PlacidPenguin @cinoclav If @Barney talks and no one listens does that mean she is invisible so we can continue to talk about her behind her back with impunity?
@f00l @PlacidPenguin @cinoclav
This - right @Barney?
@Kidsandliz @f00l
Now I’m thinking it’s either Deep Pink or Dark Cyan.
@Barney
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m not apologizing for being me. But I try my best at being me.

I hear this great wit called @Barney hangs out here sometimes.
And @Barney likes colors, right?
/image puce
Hey! You think if we talk sweetly and don’t act all scary, we can lure @Barney out to talk to us?
Perhaps we could offer @Barney some colors?

9 or 10 I think. Being busy at a conference in a different timezone with crappy Internet hosed me once. This was before the circuit breaker nonsense, so I only had 1 shot and missed it. Don’t recall when I missed the other/s.
I don’t Fuko and tell.
Zero. I haven’t been here a year yet… So it’s not as bad as people that have almost always been here and still haven’t gotten one.
10+1 here. Not too shabby.
I’ve gotten 11. Thought I only missed last year’s VDay (and the kickstarter but that one really doesn’t count) but I guess I missed the “long live fuko” one too. Hmm
I’ve gotten 6. But I got started late on Meh and got #4 only weeks into my tenure.
One from meh, and one that was infinitely better from @Pavlov and @MrsPavlov
Four. First was January, two years ago. Last was in September. The best one was the Meh first anniversary when I got an awesome Onkyo A/V receiver.
Zero. I suck at this.
I got one. When the next one came up Meh had switched to Google’s anti-robot software. reCAPTCHA has determined that Google has not made enough profit off my information and therefore has blocked my ability to buy.
4 of the last 5-the one I missed was on a cruise and although I was there at 12:00 EST plus 17 hours in Australia the ships internet wasn’t fast enough.
Just got my 2nd one yesterday, that’s 2 in a row after going 0 for meh.
I have tried every fuko, clicked instantly and never gotten one…also tried almost every bag of crap, zero on those too.
@nltownsend843 So you have a perfect streak going too.
@cengland0 …i guess you could look at it that way lol
972 here, but I’m way old
0 club
did try, but like so many others Meh thought I was a robot
I’ve missed a few, but I had a perfect streak for almost 2 years.
I didn’t get the one yesterday. The Captcha detected that I’m a robot. The jig is up! Reboot! Reboot!
This is my first!! I feel so Meh about it!!
Does a pity one count? Admittedly, it made my year (2016) suck less. I’m pretty terrible at getting these.
But I got the only empty fukos.
They cost me plenty.
So worth it.

/image orange
Looks like 9 for me. Kinda really wanted yesterdays and that purple bag but life goes on.
I’ve gotten 6. The last two I was lucky enough to snag at the 4pm sale for VMP
10… Plus a goat prize . BEST one was GOAT prize, followed by innocence…
maybe 7, not sure, have started to care weigh les
/image weigh less
I got 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
So eight total
