Is this still a thing? I mean, I hope it is. I figured I’d post this just in case, since nobody else has yet. But wow, it’s been a long time since we had an IRK as the daily deal.
Wow! I had the thought last night at 10:30 or so, I wonder if there’s a Mehrathon tonight? Then I went to sleep and didn’t check. And here we are. Kickin’ it old school!
@djslack I bought a fitness tracker with a vibration alarm back in the day so I could check the site at midnight without waking my husband. Sure glad I don’t feel the need to do that anymore.
@lichme@Pony@sammydog01 I’m pretty sure that’s the point of coupons. They sucker us in to buying more stuff we might not need, but we’ve got to use that coupon before it expires.
@sammydog01 oh are they the ones they had on morningsave? The revers-a-brellas? If so I got them in April and they are great. My old reversed umbrella was long and falling apart. This one fits in the cup holder on the car door and works great. I got the purple paisley set. And since I only need one umbrella I now have a spare. It can also fit in my purse (only when it’s dry would I put it in there).
@lisagd@sammydog01 yes. Go look at morning save and search for umbrella. It’s the 2 for $24 ones. You can see the handle and it’s not the giant C handle. Plus it’s got buttons to open and close it.
@f00l No, the window for this was closed before I was even hired and I’ve been instructed to remind folks that we’re not taking new entries. Not my call, but I can understand the thought behind keeping it closed up.
@Barney@f00l I really don’t know. I’ll try to get an answer tomorrow when the rest of the team wakes up. If I had to guess it’s in part a way to limit behavior that may encourage folks to get tattoos just for a random IRK, and also to prevent it from growing to an unsustainable number of free IRKs we have to send out. I mean, we all know that millions of people would be getting Meh tattoos if they knew it came with a shot at a free IRK. Millions.
I impulsively bought the first one out of habit, considered canceling when I remembered ink, but wasn’t sure today would count. Now that we can get more than one today, does this still count?
@metaphore@sammydog01 totally agree. I clicked out of habit. Then questioned if we would get the ink irk because it didn’t say anything about a mehrathon. Then the captcha made me do it twice. The second one it was almost the entire thing that needed clicked. I was surprised that I was able to buy it after captcha #2. Plus I never check right at change over. I think that means it will be full of extra regret.
@Pony@studerc@Thumperchick I was thinking Thunderchick sounded like a roller derby QUeeennn… (trying to imitate how my daughter says “yes, Queen!!!”. Imagine the finger snap too!)
@Ignorant Thanks. I’ve never felt strongly enough for long enough about anything to get a tattoo of it. I’ll blame the ADD; I mean, I blame it for everything else.
Feels good to be back can’t wait for me irk.
Well… my tattoo is still a thing, so Hopefully ink for irk is too
Thank you @thumperchick
@sammydog01 Blurry cam says “Clean my eyes!”
@yakkoTDI The camera tried its best. I could get a clearer photo but you would see things you really don’t want to see.
Hey all! I haven’t put in your IRKs just yet, but they’ll be coming later tonight.
I’m taking a bit of a forum break for a while, so you’ll want to tag @ExtraMedium for Ink for IRKs while I’m gone. (I’m fine, just taking a breather.)
@Thumperchick thanks and enjoy your time away (but hurry back!)
/giphy we’ll miss you
@djslack I’ll still be around, just not the main contact for the time being.
@Thumperchick
/giphy nooooooooooo!
@Thumperchick thanks so much @extramedium will have big shoes to fill while you’re gone and they’re probably clawz
@Thumperchick Hiding from threats from people that overpaid for irks? Good move.
@Thumperchick I miss you already. Hope you’re going to Disney Paris, and a luxury world cruise, and other splendid getaways.
Wow! I had the thought last night at 10:30 or so, I wonder if there’s a Mehrathon tonight? Then I went to sleep and didn’t check. And here we are. Kickin’ it old school!
@djslack I bought a fitness tracker with a vibration alarm back in the day so I could check the site at midnight without waking my husband. Sure glad I don’t feel the need to do that anymore.
So, for the people who post their tattoo’s, how many coupon codes do you think they will get?
@lichme I wouldn’t expect any.
@lichme @Pony One coupon for every $5 spent so nothing for us I guess. Coupons wind up costing me money anyway.
@lichme @Pony @sammydog01 I’m pretty sure that’s the point of coupons. They sucker us in to buying more stuff we might not need, but we’ve got to use that coupon before it expires.
@lichme @Pony @remo2 I ordered umbrellas I didn’t need a few days ago. Coupon cost me five dollars plus tax.
@sammydog01 oh are they the ones they had on morningsave? The revers-a-brellas? If so I got them in April and they are great. My old reversed umbrella was long and falling apart. This one fits in the cup holder on the car door and works great. I got the purple paisley set. And since I only need one umbrella I now have a spare. It can also fit in my purse (only when it’s dry would I put it in there).
@remo28 Nope I got cheaper ones. Maybe they’ll be ok. I’m a raincoat person myself.
@remo28 @sammydog01 They make collapsible reverse umbrellas now?! Is the handle any better? That giant C shape doesn’t do it for me.
@lisagd @sammydog01 yes. Go look at morning save and search for umbrella. It’s the 2 for $24 ones. You can see the handle and it’s not the giant C handle. Plus it’s got buttons to open and close it.
@remo28 @sammydog01 Thanks!
@Thumperchick @ChadP look i know the pic is terrible just go with it okay
Thank you, @ExtraMedium, and you take care of yourself @Thumperchick.
Already got 1 irk, so if this doesn’t count that’s fine with me. And I only paid $5 for mine.
Closing up shop here. I doubt I’ll see another entry tonight. You’re all amazing. Keep it up!
@ExtraMedium Thank you!
@ExtraMedium
/giphy Thanks!
@ExtraMedium Not to be greedy but are we getting mediocritee coupons? (Who am I kidding I’m totally greedy.)
@sammydog01 Sadly, no. Your IRKs were sent using a different order code than those in the IRK-a-thon so no coupon codes were created.
@ExtraMedium
Is there possibly going to be a new open tat opportunity to join the “Ink for iRKs” crowd this month?
@f00l No, the window for this was closed before I was even hired and I’ve been instructed to remind folks that we’re not taking new entries. Not my call, but I can understand the thought behind keeping it closed up.
@ExtraMedium
Sometimes they re-open the offer. Usually w short notice. So, worth asking I guess.
@ExtraMedium @f00l Just for curiosity’s sake, what is the thought for keeping the tattoos closed?
@Barney @f00l I really don’t know. I’ll try to get an answer tomorrow when the rest of the team wakes up. If I had to guess it’s in part a way to limit behavior that may encourage folks to get tattoos just for a random IRK, and also to prevent it from growing to an unsustainable number of free IRKs we have to send out. I mean, we all know that millions of people would be getting Meh tattoos if they knew it came with a shot at a free IRK. Millions.
@ExtraMedium @f00l Billions and billions.
@Barney @ExtraMedium @f00l Or hepatitis lawsuits?
@sammydog01 I hope we are past that threshold.
@Barney @f00l @sammydog01 Well, you asked for it. So I guess the door’s open and the ball’s in your court, plus other idioms.
You have 4 days to complete your mission. Best of luck.
I impulsively bought the first one out of habit, considered canceling when I remembered ink, but wasn’t sure today would count. Now that we can get more than one today, does this still count?
@metaphore yeah I did the same thing. I’ll post my ink on my lunch break just in case though. Love getting boxes full of regret.
@metaphore @remo28 I think you guys lucked out.
@metaphore @sammydog01 totally agree. I clicked out of habit. Then questioned if we would get the ink irk because it didn’t say anything about a mehrathon. Then the captcha made me do it twice. The second one it was almost the entire thing that needed clicked. I was surprised that I was able to buy it after captcha #2. Plus I never check right at change over. I think that means it will be full of extra regret.
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
Here’s mine, somehow I could find scissors but not a pen…
@Thunderchick What’s the word?
@Pony maybe you mean @Thumperchick?
@mikibell @Pony @Thumperchick…I like Thunderchick, sounds edgy!
@mikibell @studerc oh, good lord. I was having a senior moment. Flashback to a different username and a different site. So sorry, @Thumperchick.
@Pony @studerc @Thumperchick I was thinking Thunderchick sounded like a roller derby QUeeennn… (trying to imitate how my daughter says “yes, Queen!!!”. Imagine the finger snap too!)
@mikibell @Pony @studerc @Thumperchick I prefer T Humper Chick.
@mikibell @Pony @studerc @Thumperchick Oddly enough, I think Thumperchick sounds more roller derbyish. Thunderchick makes me think of Thunderlips.
@cinoclav @mikibell @Pony @studerc @Thumperchick Hey all, I’ll be handling this for a bit. Same rules as before, all’s well. Tag me next -athon as well and I’ll get you sorted.
@ExtraMedium Are you hinting that a standard meh-rathon is imminent?
@raccoon81 As I’ve always stated (and have yet to be proven wrong) there will definitely be another meh-rathon…eventually.
@ExtraMedium Thank you!
@ExtraMedium hmmmm not sure I know you well enough to tag you… think we need to build a rapport before the next mehrathon
@mikibell I’ll try not to cry if you refuse, but maybe there’s enough time to become acquaintances prior to the need arising.
@ExtraMedium @mikibell sheesh, get a room you two.
@ExtraMedium @raccoon81 Well, there IS a birthday coming up soon…
@ExtraMedium @Ignorant I dunno… it’s not like I am known for my friendly welcoming personality
OK, what’s the deal with the tattoos? I’m only here in the forums now and then, so I’m totally lost.
@lisagd here is an orgin story
@lisagd and if you want in, here’s your chance
@Ignorant Thanks. I’ve never felt strongly enough for long enough about anything to get a tattoo of it. I’ll blame the ADD; I mean, I blame it for everything else.
