@OnionSoup Yea… not my first rodeo, kiddo. The thing is, if they don’t do it during the VMP hour (like last time) you really think I am going to check the site to see the same shit I can get on morningsave all in hopes of an IRK?
@KNmeh7 I don’t know why… it makes no logical sense… but I keep checking… I think it’s more to do with obsessive compulsiveness than anything else though.
@OnionSoup@PastaDrop If they distribute IRKs anything like you distributed your pasta, I would imagine they would open up half of the boxes, raid them, then put them on a cargo palette and give a few lucky people an absolutely absurd amount and screw over most of the customers. Also, send coupons for $5 off future IRKs, which by the time you type in the code, you’re done.
The page reloaded instantly, I clicked immediately, scrolled down, hit the “robot checkbox” at first try, no fumble fingers - hit submit… and sold out. shocker. that lasted what - 15 seconds only? how do y’all order so fast?
@datruandi No clue… my previous attempt I did everything perfectly really quick clicking, waiting for “not a robot” checkbox to confirm I’m human took three or four seconds, but other than than I did a flawless run and I failed.
This time, I felt like I was a little slower moving and getting positioned, but somehow I got one. I’m not sure how it works, how sometimes when I feel I make a perfect run, I fail… this time when I could have done better, I succeeded.
It made me do 4 puzzles! By the time I finished it was sold out. Every effin time it’s something and I miss out. I buy enough junk that I should be “allowed” to get one of these once in awhile. I think I’m done for the day. Ugh.
I DUTIFULLY clicked “I am not a robot” and quickly clicked the “Yes! Fine! Just buy it already!” button only to be told, “I’m sorry. We don’t sell to robots.” I clicked the buy it already button AGAIN immediately only to be told they’re sold out.
WTF Meh. I’m checking the box to let you know I’M NOT A F***ING ROBOT AND YOU STILL SCREW ME OUT OF MY IRK?!?!
My Dr. called me right after I scored IRK. She said " You need iron and Vitamin C " How she know I was almost faint when I see my IRK order went through …!!!
@Lister first they calculate where your post office is, then they run calculations through a super computer on how much force, what angle etc they need.
Then they load a giant trebuchet with your package and launch it at the post office.
Calculating air density, weather systems, etc takes a lot of processing from their super computer so unfortunately shipping can take up to a month. The good news is that only 50% of the packages get totally destroyed by the impact when they land at the post office.
Mine hasn’t shipped yet according to the order status. Still before the estimated delivery date estimate of August 18th -21st. What are other people’s estimated delivery dates?

Got one!
/giphy extravagant-cuddly-van
@ACraigL Foodsaver incoming! Probably.
@ACraigL Have you considered wrapping your FoodSavers with another FoodSaver to preserve them for when each one eventually breaks?
@cinoclav My food saver inception is almost complete. A veritable matryoshka of food savers. A turducken of them, if you will.
@ACraigL @cinoclav Food savers are awesome.
I have received them in 50% of my IRKs so far. Would never buy one- I count on IRKs for that.
Food Saver, Face shaver, fluffy beaver, Awesome!
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
Holy Mother Of Pearl!
I did it!
Got one!

Captcha for the lose.
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
Got one!!!
Damn. I guess I’m a robot.
Well now I know why the page would not load.
nuts - sold out while checking out
Best order number ever!
/giphy nonsensical-incandescent-mushroom
Fuck you! I’ve consistently proven myself to be not a robot.
Sold out captcha got me.
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
VMP hour better still be a thing, that’s all I know.
@medz they had VMP hour last time but no IRK.
@medz I hear you because this just doesn’t make any damn sense.
@medz It was a thing last time, just without the IRK
@medz Likely not, if it was anything like last time. That said, my previous IRK was absolute junk so maybe these are the gods telling me something.
I think they are still “sticking it to” the VMPs who dared used their pastadrop coupons.
/giphy chaste-jolly-leather
woohoo!
Foiled by captcha. Grrr.
Got one! And my IRK from May hasn’t even shipped yet.
oh wow
/giphy icy-soft-afternoon
Whaaaat…was there only one IRK available?
had to buy pasta 5 mins before to get the meh-gods to smile down on me,
Last VMP hour was horseshit. I am assuming I missed the boat again.
@KNmeh7 they usually do an IRK in the late afternoon and also one either in the evening or the VMP hour. There are probably two more chances.
@OnionSoup Yea… not my first rodeo, kiddo. The thing is, if they don’t do it during the VMP hour (like last time) you really think I am going to check the site to see the same shit I can get on morningsave all in hopes of an IRK?
@KNmeh7 I don’t know why… it makes no logical sense… but I keep checking… I think it’s more to do with obsessive compulsiveness than anything else though.
@KNmeh7 @OnionSoup
Since they designate 1,000 per event (though some get cancelled), I’d say that there are quite a few more opportunities.
@OnionSoup @PastaDrop If they distribute IRKs anything like you distributed your pasta, I would imagine they would open up half of the boxes, raid them, then put them on a cargo palette and give a few lucky people an absolutely absurd amount and screw over most of the customers. Also, send coupons for $5 off future IRKs, which by the time you type in the code, you’re done.

My last one is literally in the mail for delivery today… Why did I pick up another already >_>
/giphy restricted-graven-top
Ugh that’s what I get for not checking payment settings after PastaDrop ordering. On to the next one.
Love how this was the only thing that’s made me do a captcha today out of the 4 things I’ve bought… and because of that I missed out…
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.

God damn fucking shit. Meh Overlords, were my previous monetary sacrifices not enough?! I shall do more to please you!
101 comments saying they bought but stats say 100 sold. Someone is lying.
Bam, nailed it!
/giphy divine-unhurried-country
Yippee!! SCORED an IRK!!
/giphy uninviting-glamorized-moth
Fucking goddamn JavaScript moved the captcha button at the same time I clicked it, then deleted the card number. I give the fuck up. This is bullshit.
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
Fuck you MEH!!! I was right there this time.
/giphy dingy-fair-place
NO FUCKING NEED TO PUT A FUCKING FIVE MINUTE TIMER ON SOMETHING THAT SALES OUT IN FIVE SECONDS ASSHOLES!
I’m taking the photo as a promise. These are going to have all that good stuff in them, right?
Captcha took four runs through; so y’all could get ‘em and leave me in the cold
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
Got one, woohoo!!!
/giphy bendy-parasitic-lip
And I thought today was just going to be slightly more than disappointing. I was right.
/giphy domineering-rumbly-seed
/giphy knotty-awry-thistle
Seriously, phone scrolled to top of cart. Scrolled back down to check the security box and sold out. Was literally seconds!
/giphy impatient-puzzling-woodpecker
Fuuuuuuuuuck you, CAPTCHA!
Waaaaat?..Was there only one for sale?
awwww yeah score!
GOD DAMMIT!!! I was checking out then I had to put a bed liner in my truck with the dealer guy. MOTHER FUCKER
@willdavi you wouldn’t have been successful anyway. They let everyone get to the checkout just to deny you.
I’m just glad I actually got the Meh button for this one.
Only 9 clicked Meh?
@pskemp2 I was one of em
Hgcfdertyuuuhggvc suck my d!ck! Lol dang it!
Is there a per day or per account limit on IRKs during today’s meh-rathon? Or is it a free-for-all? Thank you!
@aspindel
One per person.
@PastaDrop Thanks you tha best
INSTANT REGRET…JUST FOR PLAYING!
And I’m in!
It made me do 4 puzzles! By the time I finished it was sold out. Every effin time it’s something and I miss out. I buy enough junk that I should be “allowed” to get one of these once in awhile. I think I’m done for the day. Ugh.
@jen56 Promises, promises.
@jen56 I always say the same… I’m done… but then I come back for more!
I think there is some addiction involved but I’m not sure where to rehab.
@blaineg nobody is talking to you
@OnionSoup I believe you are correct. I’m looking to see what I missed while I was gone. lol
Rats ass ,'effing , captcha screwed me again. Bring back the puzzle Irk. At least I had a chance, then.
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
Got it EVEN with having to select pictures. (Not naming that directly.)
The other attempts didn’t require picture selection.
Good thing it wasn’t the one requiring picture selection until there are none left.

How?¡!!! This happen with out…me!!!
I F***ing clicked “Buy It” on the last TWO IRKs.
I DUTIFULLY clicked “I am not a robot” and quickly clicked the “Yes! Fine! Just buy it already!” button only to be told, “I’m sorry. We don’t sell to robots.” I clicked the buy it already button AGAIN immediately only to be told they’re sold out.
WTF Meh. I’m checking the box to let you know I’M NOT A F***ING ROBOT AND YOU STILL SCREW ME OUT OF MY IRK?!?!
This is bovine ordure!
That sounds like something a robot would say.
@Trinityscrew This happened to someone the May 15th go around too.
@mediocrebot You caught me. I actually am a robot. Beep. Boop. Boop. Beep.
My Dr. called me right after I scored IRK. She said " You need iron and Vitamin C " How she know I was almost faint when I see my IRK order went through …!!!
Why hasn’t this arrived yet. I expected it by now…
@OnionSoup Mine already came mine tomorrow.
@OnionSoup I really screwed that up.
Mine already came tomorrow.
(I just can’t multi-task worth a darn.)
Mine shipped today, July 14. It says, “ESTIMATED DELIVERY Monday, August 17th - Friday, August 21st”. Are they walking it to me?
