I have a Belated Birthday Gift for the Meh Overlords...
17To the wondrous people who have the privilege of working in a real-life Willy Wonka Factory-O-Crap… I found a gift for you!
This gift is rather small (literally) and I only spent $5 on it (including shipping). It is not hand made like some amazing sign from earlier this week (who can compete with that?!) It is not a permanent tattoo that pledges my undying loyalty until the end of times (I am not that brave). It came from a cereal box…from 1979.
Some of you may recall that I bartered my way into an April Fools Fuko when I found this sweet prize on eBay:
Well, eBay has proven itself once again as the original place to waste your money on random crap when I came across the Illinois bicycle plate that was in the Honeycomb box back in 1979:
Behold! MEH! The Overlords can tie this to their bikes and be the envy of all the other little overlords in the neighborhood!
I’ve been blessed with one free Fuko this week and now my dog (Brownie, the Blind Pirate) is also getting a Fuko!
The Overlords have been most generous and kind to me this week and I eagerly await my bounty of crap!
To the Meh Overlords: please accept this humble gift of a complementary bicycle license plate to go with your April Fools vehicle plate as a token of my sincere appreciation!
Whisper me the address and it’s yours!

This person was conflicted:

just curious…
@earlyre they’re selling a bunch of other meh stuff. Either they regret a lot of their decisions or they are a reseller.
@earlyre @RiotDemon
Yeah, just saw those other items.
@RiotDemon May they be cursed with many captchas…
@mfladd
How desperate are you for Meh swag?
@earlyre $10.99!? WTF?! Someone’s a GREEDY bastard!
@earlyre Oh no! You figured out my secret… typing “meh” into the eBay search engine and seeing what pops up after getting thwarted by Captcha!
@earlyre @PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon Am I sad/angry these are eBay? Yes. Am I debating whether or not I should buy these items while also hating myself for doing so? Maybe a little bit.
@bramby2 @PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon
…and i just bought the Fuko Can coozie for $8…
@bramby2 @earlyre @PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon I know where you can buy a $15 beer for your $8 coozie.
@bramby2 @PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon @therealjrn …I didn’t say I was proud of that fact…
@bramby2 @RiotDemon @therealjrn
I should take @mweinberger up on the offer listed here, and sell the stuff to @earlyre.
@earlyre Whisper me an address and I will send you a coozie.
@bramby2 What items are you looking for?
@speediedelivery Meh swag, of course! All those delicious little things that come from only winning a Fuko!
@speediedelivery i appreciate the offer, but i just spent $8 on one…
@earlyre @speediedelivery I want one!!!
@bramby2 Whisper a place to send it.
@bramby2, the minute you posted this thread, I, like others, decided to do an ebay search. And I came across something I absolutely loved! I just won it, even though bidding was going back and forth at the end.
From the Disney Expressions Mystery Pins - Mickey Meh!
I love it because it is soooooo un-Disney-like!
@mfladd heh. I was bidding on that. The shipping was so high…I just made it a max total just over $5. Too rich for me!
@therealjrn I thought I might have been bidding against people here! You Bastards! My .99 cent bid went for so long!
Total cost with shipping was…$6.03
But for some strange reason I love it, even at that cost. And still less than one of those mystery packs would cost you at the park.
@mfladd Well fought, well won!
@mfladd well done! I guess it was unfair of me to keep my little game of “eBay Meh” all to myself…I use it as a coping mechanism when Meh thinks I am a robot.
The rulezzz are that you have to keep your purchase around the Fuko level-pricing or you don’t feel as good about yourself for having missed out on said Fuko.
