@f00l@PlacidPenguin@unixrab I was actually wearing my free virgin socks from VMP when I saw today’s deal and that made me realize I was over paying so I cancelled it.
I am not spending 10 bucks on these but oddly am tempted just to make a Glenn sock monkey out of them. I have made about a dozen sock monkeys over the last few years.
@f00l I have a creeping sense that a great many of you are going to be yelling at me in a different topic, when you sober up and realize what you bought, and how much you spent on it…
@f00l@PlacidPenguin When you figure it as $8 for the perfect order number, and $2 for a pair of quirky socks, it actually starts sounding like a pretty good deal.
The pricing on this item indicates that Meh is going with the presumption that enough of their customers are going to be stoned enough to buy this item today. Cunning sales strategy, you greedy bitches…
In mid January, @therealjrn and I were posting gif after gif of tits and boobies on Woot in response to a thread which was since deleted (with most of my screenshots deleted).
@Barney@djslack@narfcake@PlacidPenguin I remember those posts. Good times. It seems that we are inevitably about to relive it here… P.S. I like the way your boobies bounce.
Gold Toe Men’s 6-Pack Cotton Crew Athletic Sock on Amazon for $15. If I wear flip flops on Sunday, that’s a weeks worth of socks. When they’re all the same color, it’s easier to sort after washing and if I lose a sock, I still have 5 1/2 pairs that match.
@Kyser_Soze
Eh, that’s like comparing a pack of white Hane’s tee shirts to the cost of one shirt printed with something you love.
I’m gonna wear my Glenn socks during our weekly office-wide meeting (also with clothes).
@sammydog01 That’s true, but I regret so many things that I can’t say that’s a major deterrent. I also buy a lot of stuff I’ll never use, though, so I will probably take your sage advice.
I hate to say it but $10 for a pair of novelty socks, glen or not, is beyond my budget unfortunately. At least it occurred to someone, unlike the mediocre socks, to make them in woman’s sizes too. One big step for mankind, one small step forward for women!
I could give a crap about the socks, but how do I get my hands on one of those fancy-schmancy kapow! style Meh t-shirts worn by the fancy-schmancy guy in the video? Hmm??
mrjd wrote:Wait... so now shipping is included in the base price of shirts? Now I'm essentially paying shipping for EACH item in my order? That's a bunch of crap and you know it.
Woot has just lost a customer that's been here for nearly a decade if thats the case.
The nearly see thru "premium" shirts cut the number of buys I make down significantly and now this? I'm done with Woot this is BS.
Your refurb electronics are crap, your shirt quality is garbage now.
Way to go.
Maximize those profits without my $.
I appreciate your feedback, mrjd. This was an extremely difficult decision to make and was not made lightly nor was it made to be profiteer. Just to be clear, this decision was based purely on economics. We're hurting and needed to make the change; as an aside, this is how the pricing was prior to 2015 (price covering shipping). The alternative was to no longer be able to provide you with quality content from our phenomenal artists. I encourage you to try the Port & Company blank when it launches on 2/1. We appreciate your business through the years.
Well, I like to buy meh branded products. However $10 for a pair of socks?! Nope! I mean you can convince me to spend $3000 fixing and 18 year old car all day every day, but $10 socks. Nope, nope, and nope.
Well, you could make two puppets, and have them fight to the death, or reenact the scene with every doppelganger ever of trying to decide which is the real one only to realize you want to kill both, or you can realize shoes cover the face, so you finally have the perfect socks for your Where’s Waldo cosplay. Or you can make the right choice and just click meh.
@MrMark My assumption is yes; the black wraps around the underside of the toes. The idea would be you would press that part into the cavity your hand creates so that the black would be a concave mouth. I really don’t know why they didn’t just show it on someone’s hand.
@RiotDemon@sammydog01 Love that GIF. Classic. The girl is all timid and the boy comes in hot already making that face from off camera like some kind of demon. I think the girl was still able to blow it out herself, but I give the boy an ‘A’ for effort.
@ConAndLibrarian Will the intervening week not provide an adequate period of time through which to wash them? Don’t tell me they were one-time-use disposable socks!!?

I can’t believe you spent $$$ manufacturing these
@akumax But it’s GLEN!!!
Finally something that makes me wonder, Oh god what did I just order.
/giphy thrilling-negligent-farm
I ordered them with the hopes they will be replaced with an Irk plushie before being shipped to me.
@thismyusername Exactly. We now have Glen socks but no Irk plush? WTF!!?
OH MY GOD THEY SKINNED GLEN!!!
@shahnm
@djslack @shahnm: @shahnm well you could take his hide to a taxidermist and then mount him in your living room in a place of honor… just sayin’
@djslack @Kidsandliz That’s a good idea. I already have the Casper the Friendly Ghost hide I’ve been meaning to have stuffed…

Free for VMP?
@Stallion hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh
Never.
@Stallion I believe VMP do get these for free, but have to pay the $10 shipping charge on this particular item.
@Stallion The only free item I ever got during my time as a VMP was some mediocre socks.
@Stallion I think the only thing VMP gets free these days is shipping.
@Stallion I just cancelled my vmp today after 2yr
@unixrab
How does this make you feel?
Pepperidge Farms remembers when vmps got free ish.
@Stallion I got a pair then lost one. So I have a mediocre sock.
@PlacidPenguin feelings on the socks? or the unethical demoralizing nightmare that is VMP?
@unixrab
The fact that @plasticfork left VMP.
@supichoo FYI, you can say shit here.
@narfcake @supichoo Are you shitting me?
@narfcake @therealjrn Fuck thanks. I like ish better though.
@PlacidPenguin @plasticfork I applaude it!

Sock it to me
@thismyusername … Next to the Smothers brothers this was my favorite go-to sitcom… Loved the craziness (a good high five to soupy sales as well)…
I feel like I have the meh button on speed dial or a pre-programed Function Key.
meh.
Only one pair? Too expensive meh…
only 1 pair for $10??? meh
@clonetek That’s only $1 per toe.
Wow, man. Those are some trippy socks ya got there.
Far out.
I am not spending 10 bucks on these but oddly am tempted just to make a Glenn sock monkey out of them. I have made about a dozen sock monkeys over the last few years.
@CaptAmehrican We all have to have dreams.
Oh no,please! I’ve been trying to decipher the hidden meaning of ‘wet hair burshes’, and now this?

Good thing I can resist spending $16.26 for a pair of socks.
@shahnm @PlacidPenguin
Yeah. But I just spent $10 plus tax for the perfect order number.
Plus some sox.
Now I need me some supply of @Pavlov’s focusing agent.
@f00l @PlacidPenguin When you figure it as $8 for the perfect order number, and $2 for a pair of quirky socks, it actually starts sounding like a pretty good deal.

@shahnm
What’z dat?
$16.26 for a pair of socks.
Yeah…
NOPE!
@PlacidPenguin Yeah, that’s catshirt money for a non-catshirt.
Same price as darn tough, but twice the fun.
@narfcake
I’d sooner paws from buying more catshirts to buy a cool Animaniacs decal I saw.
I REALLY don’t like puns, but this one was required.
@PlacidPenguin A big nope.

I’m down with that already.
Way way down.

This poll thread contains a follow up discussion.
It was briefly done on Meh as well.
@Barney @djslack @narfcake @PlacidPenguin I remember those posts. Good times. It seems that we are inevitably about to relive it here… P.S. I like the way your boobies bounce.
@Barney @narfcake @shahnm @therealjrn
I’ll probably keep the good tit and booby gifs to myself now though.
@shahnm @therealjrn
I found the screenshots!!!
@PlacidPenguin @shahnm lol, that was a wonderful thread.
Strange foots are a thing.
On one hand, Jesus Christ these are $10 socks. On the other, I’m wildly irresponsible.
Feigning any chance of me not buying these was just an evanescent-laborious-boundary from the start
@uninflammable Meh knows their customer base, that’s for sure…
I predict Glenn will only stay for the night and be gone in the morning. Such it is with cheap dates.
@hchavers
Do your expensive dates behave differently?
Or are your expensive dates so expensive because lawyers (to make the person go away) and divorce settlements cost so much these days?
BathDryer!The socks make the tax I know have to pay ok
/giphy competent-guilty-possum
I’m getting FOMO.
I pair for 10 bucks doesn’t sound like a very good deal
I would have gone $10 for two pair.

I was about to bite like a huge sucker when I realized that just one pair of socks for 10 bucks is absolute horse shit.
MEH IT TO HELL!!
Ugh, I buy pretty much all the meh-branded crap, but yeah, $10 for a pair of socks may be a bridge too far. So hard to decide.
@mossygreen Do it. You know you’ll regret it if you don’t.
@sammydog01 That’s true, but I regret so many things that I can’t say that’s a major deterrent. I also buy a lot of stuff I’ll never use, though, so I will probably take your sage advice.

/giphy gullible-soggy-sodium
The only Meh thing about this offer is that we are limited to three pair. I only can make a small squad of Glen’s instead of building a Glen Army.
Woo-hoo! For socks for people who have women sized feet. Bummer they’re $10.
I hate to say it but $10 for a pair of novelty socks, glen or not, is beyond my budget unfortunately. At least it occurred to someone, unlike the mediocre socks, to make them in woman’s sizes too. One big step for mankind, one small step forward for women!

What mens shoe size does the “Women’s” fit?
@flooners Same size as Women’s sizing: 5 - 10 like the specs say would fit.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@therealjrn that fits women size 5-10, but what’s the mens size conversion from women’s 5-10
@flooners Oh, OK, so sorry. Here’s the conversion link. HTH
@therealjrn please stop murdering my joke
@flooners They’re socks dude. That’s nothing to joke about.

It’s not a $10 pair of socks. It’s a 2 pack of Glen puppets for $10.
@Thumperchick except they didn’t even provide a photo of a hand model using it in puppet-mode.
@medz However, @matthew made a whole video showing you how to spiffy up the puppet.
@matthew @Thumperchick And yet the daily video was a repeat. The write-up is not the appropriate place for new videos.
/giphy fail hard
Sure it is
@matthew Whatever you say. Thanks for the new vid regardless.
For $10 these better be handmade by snapster himself. Or at the very least Dave.
@MrMark I like to think of myself as the very least version of Snapster.

So which one of you is Les Ismore?
And which one of you is Morris Less?
Please sell larger sizes too
Does the mouth continue around the back?
@MrMark My assumption is yes; the black wraps around the underside of the toes. The idea would be you would press that part into the cavity your hand creates so that the black would be a concave mouth. I really don’t know why they didn’t just show it on someone’s hand.
@MrMark I just found this video on their youtube channel.
