So, today was the first time I’ve ever “won” an IRK while in the middle of a presentation (online), coming to the end of my part… one eye on meh… saw the timer go down said "I’m sorry, " muted my phone and then came back and told them I was having a coughing fit after I got the IRK… lol
Probably the most amusing way I’ve ever got an IRK, I hope this portends an amusing IRK.
@Felton10 It did come with a $10 coupon good 'til the end of 2025 so I got one 'tho it’ll most likely be just as bad as most recent ones have been. There were probably close to 1,000 sold so I doubt many will be any good.
@IndifferentDude I saw that but decided it was just a way to incentivize me to buy more crap I didn’t need. Think the turning point for me was getting that heavy electric generator that was DOA in an IRK. Wasting that much money to send something that heavy and so worthless far outweighed the any excitement about getting a box filled with surprise junk.
On the flip side have gotten more than my share of great and good stuff which more than offsets the bad stuff, but after over 30 IRK, the thrill of getting them has faded somewhat.
No IRK? Oh, well.
@juststephen
Maybe they’ll finally go back to how they used to sell them?
(One can dream. Right?)
@juststephen Maybe we can get 'em the Old Fashioned way!!
@FreePasta I wish.
@IndifferentDude I wish.
@IndifferentDude @juststephen
Well there’s a star which you can wish on.
@FreePasta @IndifferentDude It’s cloudy outside.
@IndifferentDude @juststephen
Good thing that Meh is selling one.
@juststephen well lookee here…
Hmmm this is fine . Gif
yay?
Wait!! No Side-Deal IRK?? Could it be … “A Christmas Miracle” and we can try to snag an IRK the Old Fashioned way?? Please Santa!!
Let it be true!!
@IndifferentDude
Did you wish on the star yet?
@FreePasta Oops! Guess I need to go to the ICYMI page and do that! Thanks!
@IndifferentDude AND IT IS TRUE!!!

@IndifferentDude @mcemanuel out sounds terrible, but you have to try it
Hey
And I’m here early! YAY…
Meh kickin it old school wit da Irk
Meh kickin it old school wit da Irk.
Still didn’t get one, so eff dis
I came out of my “hiding from the Internet” cave for this chance at an IRK. Here’s hoping.
I almost forgot to check Meh this morning. That seems to happen every mehrathon. It’s the days I don’t check early when they run.
hey
Wonder if this will truly be an old school one and allow us to snag more then one IRK if we’re lucky.
Next deal isn’t loading when the timer hits 0. Refreshing page doesn’t work. Tried multiple browsers and both wifi and cell-data.
Takes about a minute to get the update.
@lichen I’ve had this same problem on mehrathons for at least the past year. Total crapshoot whether the deal loads in the first thirty seconds

$ 20 for an IRK without having to buy more crap-given what everyone has been getting lately still no bargain at 4 times the original cost of one.

@Felton10 That just means 4 times the regret.
