I know meh enjoys requests, so when will vacuums or pocket knives be on sale again
16The misses, well actually both of us, I’m a modern man who helps with the housework (hey, it’s a good relationship, ok), need a new vacuum and paying retail is not something I am comfortable doing. (Yes, I check meh ritualisticly) Could you please sell the finest overstocked Shark Vacuum from the depths of your inventory sometime soon? Our p.o.s. black and decker handheld died, so we need both an upright and a handheld. Seems like it could fit in your “two items” series, or “mehrathon” for the initiated, that just finished. (Yes, my timing is off). Also, when will you sell pocket knives again? The ones I got are great for supporting my mushroom foraging activities and I only cut myself badly enough to go to the hospital once, so of course, I WANT MORE. Thank for considering the pleas of a mere mortal, oh Gods of Meh.

Cordless okay?
And Corded:
And the Tidy Sweep
What does your liturgy include?
Incense burning?
Reciting incantations?
Ritualistically has quite a different meaning from ritually.
@ELJAY He also asked for knives, so that might be part of the ritual
Meh loves requests
I’m hoping for candy corn again since it is the season, but knives would be cool too. And vacuum cleaners.
Oh, we’re making pocketknife requests. My Kershaw Shuffle is getting pretty worn down, I’ll need a new one in a month or two. I’d prefer to pay the meh-tastic price. I tried the Cinder, it’s too small for my hammy fists.
The best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever owned is the Lupe Pure:

But it’s not a “meh” price, it’s a modular product I expect to be using for a decade, so maybe not what you’re looking for.
I’m still rocking my woot era shark. Good on knives but I was not buying anyway. Go for it
@unksol I’ve got my woot era Dyson animal. Still going strong.
@GLaDOS I would not be upset at a semi of either. But I’m sure there’s a ton of statistics. If they buy 3000 vacuums is there really enough customers who need one. Considering we both are satisfied with ours years later
Now knives. If they are good enough and cheap enough. Will be bought even if we will never use them
Batteries - AA and AAA batteries, please.
Since we are putting in request… Cool bundles!!! I have 3 in college that could use miscellaneous sschtuff…
@mikibell Knife Bundles!
Brilliant!
Not from Meh, but this was my birthday present a few years ago.
It’s huge, it’s absurd, it’s assisted opening. It’s perfect.
@blaineg
That does look perfect for you!
What a cool thing.
I’m going to take a nap
How can I vacuum
All of these pocket knives up
Please help me out Meh
I’ve said it before, I need a Glen oven mitt.
I searched long and hard for Just A Decent Pocket Knife. I looked at the tables and booths full of bladed stuff at conventions, I looked around in stores and trade shows and lots of other places, but what I mostly found was saws (things with teeth, which are Not Knives, TYVM), knives with soft stainless blades that would only hold an edge for a nanosecond, knives with decorations that were clearly designed to appear to inner twelve-year-olds, sharp-and/or-pointy things with only a nominal resemblance to a pocket-carried general-purpose cutting tool, and Toys.
And then I found the Opinel #7.
Carbon steel, simple, no frills AT ALL, pocket knife.
I no longer pay attention to the tables full of bladed stuff. I have what I want.
That said, yeah, it would be interesting to see what kinds of multitool-with-knife Meh might be able to come up with, particularly if they can locate the mythical Thing Similar To A Leatherman Except The Pliers Have Handles That Don’t Try To Turn Your Fingers Into Waffles. That would be really cool. I would probably buy it.
Ditto for the like-a-Leatherman except without a knife blade, so that it can live in the Always-Ready Carry-On without drawing the ire of the TSA.
@werehatrack Leatherman has made that exact tool (Thing Similar To A Leatherman Except The Pliers Have Handles That Don’t Try To Turn Your Fingers Into Waffles) for many years, the Wave and its big brother the Surge.
Also the TSA-safe Style PS.
@werehatrack Also the Leatherman Free (they lie, it’s not actually free). The “free” means it opens freely, one-handed even. The magic is magnets and synthetic rubberish bushings.
This was another present. SWMBO is very good to me.
@blaineg @werehatrack
Single White Male or
Best Offer can go both ways
I’m glad for your luck
@replicacobra @werehatrack Interesting interpretation.
Though I was going for the more traditional usage.
Serious suggestion: Anti-fog spray for glasses, maybe to bundle with the masks. I grabbed some from Spamazon this week (too late to do me any good last weekend at DragonCon), and so far it looks like it works.
@werehatrack Yes! This is an excellent idea.
