I'm back - what did I miss?
13I'm back in good ole Texas - full update on the trip with all the juicy details coming tomorrow.
But for now, what did I miss while I was out last week? I more or less completely shut off from work stuff and the forums while I was out so I've got no idea about what actually went on around here. Give me your synopsis. Anything go terribly, terribly wrong that I'll be walking in to tomorrow morning?

We elected you goat. And it's all your fault.
we watched your confusion over Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings
it was educational
I love purple.
I bought more shirts, but not from here. Where are the catshirts?!
A 'debate' on the government's right/request to collect personal information via survey. Complete with Godwin's Law and condiment sidebar.
A self promoter that inadvertently helped @LaVikinga with her belt storage issues.
@Jaremelz showing some Halloween love!
A few people had issues with the light sale and a couple other products, but nothing drastic - everyone wrote into CS.
TLDR: the place didn't catch fire while you were having fun without us, jerk.
Not a post card? Not one lousy post card? How hard would it have been to send a post card with a beach scene and write "Having a great time. Wish you were here. Love, MEHcus"???
Well, now we know just how much we matter to you. Hmph!
Seriously, how was the trip? Best thing that happened? Worst thing? WEIRDEST thing?
According to weather reports, it appears that god hate Texas these days. It's your fault I'm sure.
People started receiving their fukus. Some were happy.
Spoiler coming:
Some were not.
A lot of the fukus were missing bags and people were upset about it. But too many were missing bags for people to feel like they should officially complain. And some people got roombas instead of bags so they didn't complain. But the rest of us bagless people are sad.
@KDemo @metaphore...and some people just got fukued over with their fukubukuro experience. I for one will never piss off @MEHcus or @hollboll again.
@studerc Ahem...right here, I did as well. Hard.
@studerc Mine was pretty bad. Yours made me feel a lot better about mine. At least the ziplocks are useful right? I need some of those, so I wouldn't have minded those instead of a hubman or runaway alarm clock. But when ziplocks are the star of you fuku....
@metaphore Sounds pretty meh... in other words...
@studerc that's the glory of the Fuku, never know what you are gonna get. But I will tell you this emphatically, you did not, in any way, receive a lesser bag due to our ongoing prize joke with you. It's a gazillion percent random and you were not singled out.
@MEHcus Haha, no worries. I enjoy continuing the running joke. But in all seriousness though, did you see that Fuku I received. Honest to goodness, there's gotta be something missing or something went terribly wrong. Not even close to others.
@studerc
You are such a fucking liar.
@joelmw i will never intentionally piss off @hollboll and @MEHcus. However now that @MEHcus has cleared the air to reveal it had nothing to do with the ongoing prize fight i can only assume that i simply got screwed over. Luck of the draw my ass...that fuku was rough. Not even close.
Meh was bought out by Amazon.
@pitamuffin Now that's just going too far!
(... but you can blame @christinewas for that.)
@narfcake I accept blame for the fact that @pitamuffin is twisted and telling scary stories.
@pitamuffin ... and then Amazon was bought out by Disney. Just to add another order of magnitude of ruined.
I beat your fantasy team in the goat league. And... I think I beat your hex score. These things happened in October, but they are, without question, my fault.
@christinewas Both are thoroughly worthy of a smirking blame acceptance.
@christinewas #justgoatythings
You missed the Malort tasting.
It looked delicious, if you're really lucky, they saved some for you!
(Did you bring us back some rum?)
@KDemo How could we forget the malort? I think another tasting would be super, man.
@jaremelz -Man, he'll have to steel himself for that.
@KDemo And he better do it, fast. Faster than say, a speeding bullet or something.
@jaremelz - Maybe he kent. He is a supervisor, you know.
@KDemo Ah, supervisors, a gripe on this planet, daily.
@jaremelz - They blame everything on the S-Cape goat.
@KDemo Lex see if he'll do it or if he's a luthor who backs out.
@jaremelz If you want to feel like a train wreck that Malort is more powerful than a locomotive.
@jaremelz - Hope not. That would be the Lois blow.
@jsimsace - Makes you want to leap off tall buildings?
@KDemo I feel we've taken this to the lois point possible.
@jaremelz You're Perry White, I think this sub-thread belongs in the crypt, tonight.
@Pavlov - I see right through your superiority, I'm not even soar about losing to you.
@KDemo As of right now I haven't received an email of your "@" to me 6 hours ago even though my settings appear to be correct. I guess I can blame @christinewas . Or am I missing something @thumperchick?
@jsimsace If you open a thread within about 15 minutes of a post tagging you, you won't receive a notification for that thread.
@jsimsace I've seen some glitchiness with @ mentions lately, too - but can't quite pinpoint it. If you happened to click this thread within 10-15 minutes of the mention, you wouldn't have gotten the email at all. Is that a possibility?
@narfcake That was a possibility...thanks! BTW, I envy your shirt collection but am glad I don't own it. :)
@Thumperchick That was a possibility....but WTF? It sounds like a dev might need to be invoked at some point. Anyway, congrats again on the baby and extra props on the nursery decor. :)
@jsimsace Or... I ate your notifications. It's hard to say, at this point.
Somebody sped up the website. Coincidence? I think not. Also, my shoe lace broke. Another coincidence? And I ran out of floss. Triple whammy.
@scouter That all sounds like @christinewas 's fault
@ceagee Certainly. I will accept responsibility for a speedier site. And, @scouter, I will carry away your guilt for overtaxing your laces and failing to maintain a sufficient supply of floss.
You forgot to 'accidentally' send a two time robot a fuku before you left - guess you missed the memo LOL
@MEHcus Somehow this post had me picturing how that scene would look with 2015 Randy Quaid
Cant get the image out of head head
@MrGlass - I was reading about that guy. What happened to him, anyway? Somehow mental illness won.
Well @mehcus, why don't you tell us what we missed, hmmm?
@katylava I'm working on it.
You were away?
@sligett Thank you for giving me a laugh today.
@mehcus you missed .... I don't know... I had to stay away from the forums till my fukubukuro came in. (I'm glad I did)
You were volunteered for something horribly unpleasant. You'll find out what it is soon enough.
@joelmw @MEHcus, just remember that relaxing into it will help ease the pain.
@joelmw No for real though, that happens on the regular.
i said "fuck you" at some point. so that's a new thing for me.
