The Meh community is the best.
The.
Fucking.
Best.
The fucking best. 100%. Thank y’all so much for the great food and love.
Delicious Pizza! I love that kind!
@aetris and @amehzinggrace, thanks for making this happen!
Thank you guys all so much! It was great!
HEY! There were supposed to be two bottles of sarsaparilla in there!?!
Nice cafeteria btw.
@aetris beautiful job!
now we need people pics! People eating!
@moonhat nope…I didnt do that…see below…but I witnessed it…it happened…you have my word
Unreal! I feel a sudden need for pizza now. Thanks to all who pitched in, and to the organizers, and sincerely to the Meh worker bees who make this such a fun place to hang out.
Nice job

Thanks everyone, seriously. Also, my elbow was in the last picture. Nice!
@Targaryen That is TOTALLY not what I thought your elbow would be like!
Thank you everyone! This was an amazing gesture!
Wait… DELICIOUS pizza? I thought we were shooting for just Meh pizza!
Glad it was enjoyed!
@chuegen and you are on the radar for tacos next year…someone new can volunteer to deliver…#neverforget #tacos2020 #youwillnotgoquietlyintothenight #remindalexa
Hey @chuegen - at the risk of turning this into a regular thing, I am willing to help you out with this (these people never give up) next year. YOU figure out WHERE we get the tacos, I’ll handle the logistical details. If @amehzinggrace 's candy van isn’t available for the delivery, there will undoubtedly be other options.
What a day to be working from home! What an amazingly awesome community we have, this is just incredible
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!
@mandirose I’m mildly jealous of the folks in HQ who got to partake. Just… a little.
this is awesome! thanks to @aetris and @amehzinggrace for organizing and delivering the 'za!
i also appreciate @Cythwulf leaving “that fucking” in front of my tag.
finally, i want some fucking pizza now.
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
You all are the fucking bomb - thank you so much!!!
I’m in the middle of a somewhat miserable, rather busy 12 hour day at work. Yet, seeing this has erased all the gloom. This just makes me happy inside! I hope everyone has enjoyed lunch (and maybe dinner). Thanks again mediocre staff for all you do and to our coordinators @aetris and @amehzinggrace. Btw, I want to see pics of the pizza itself. I have standards it has to live up to y’know.
@cinoclav on my way to get a pic now!
@Cythwulf And another slice?
@cinoclav Yeah, you got me.
Here is all that remains. Good call on the amount
@Cythwulf Thanks! Looks like it was good. I’m amazed that plain cheese is basically what’s left, even though they were the majority. Stragglers should finish that off by the time you’re all ready to leave.
@cinoclav @Cythwulf
@cinoclav @Cythwulf - A self-congratulatory pat on the back from me to me for buying an extra mushroom pie!
I probably shouldn’t ask about the leftover soda, though!
@aetris @Cythwulf Eh, I’m sure the soda will be consumed. But was that Mango Punch Tampico a special request or some random weirdness?
@aetris @cinoclav we burned through that mushroom pie fast. Good call.
@cinoclav - Random weirdness. Man does not live by Coke and Pepsi alone! Not THIS man, anyway. In fact I pretty much live by random weirdness.
@mfladd That has to be a Totinos. It doesn’t even bend!
@cinoclav @mfladd The ONLY home cooked pizza my grandson will eat. Must be from his father’s side.
@lseeber @mfladd Doesn’t that constitute child abuse?
@cinoclav @mfladd hmm… possibly.
@cinoclav @lseeber @mfladd
But… But… But where’s @amazinggrace’s white van with all of the candy in it?
Sold it last week apparently
@riskybryzness @barney I’ll get it back next week…muahahaha
@amehzinggrace hey did you get your tour and if yes do you have photos?
@Kidsandliz trying to write up the reader’s digest version now
@amehzinggrace Thanks. Saw it. Nice.
Why are you drinking straight mixer?
I can’t believe they ate it! Solid prank, everyone. Now we wait and watch the fun begin!
I wonder what the restroom stall to staffer ratio is…
@medz
@mfladd
I imagine the next round of IRKs might contain a few stale slices of pizza and half empty soda bottles …
Hope you all enjoyed!
@nolrak I reckon that’s ok with me. I have never, no matter how fast I click that button, ever been able to score one so I don’t even try anymore.
@lseeber @nolrak practice makes perfect when clicking your button.
@nolrak @tinamarie1974 I dunno. Clicking that button without ever getting satisfaction can be pretty irritating.
@lseeber @nolrak sad
@nolrak @tinamarie1974 Very
@lseeber @nolrak @tinamarie1974 I clicked lo, these many years before I was blessed with an IRK. And the IRK arrived and was opened and it was a good IRK, with which I was well pleased. Meh 4:18
Great way to boost that afternoon mehtabolism. Thanks for all you folks do for us.
So @amehmazinggrace - When do we get your full review of your experience? Did you meet mediocrebot? Because that fucker has really been on a tear today and I would have given you a few thoughts to pass on.
@carl669
@cinoclav What - no stun gun to zap it into the next alternative universe?
@Kidsandliz More like…
So…reader’s digest condensed version…I’d like to say that I am super honored that I got to participate and help make this happen…I got to tour the facilities (actually…no one ever did show me where the bathroom was…I’m a little concerned about ya’ll now)…but seriously…for all the times I have happened by and was like…“hey…there’s the home of Meh”…I am so thrilled that I finally got to see the place…
I didn’t take many pics…mostly because I was too busy looking around…seeing how things work behind the scenes fascinates me…its like watching those videos on how things are made…like crayons or gum…the other reason I didn’t take many pics is that I don’t personally like having my picture taken and quite frankly…as I don’t like it being foisted upon myself…so why would i be that asshole who does it to other people…except to my tot…and that’s ok til she says its not…her hollering “no” at me for everything isn’t the same as that…but I digress…
The entire place was fascinating…I saw the lights that mimic skylights
…I’ve never worked under those before so I really do wonder if they help productivity in the a windowless workspace…I saw offices…rotating art…a conference room designed in an oval shape so that one didn’t have to scream in the back to be heard in the front…(although apparently people still get loud…j/s)…a magic black curtain
…a warehouse full of goods
…a head in a box…future mystery irks
(and luckily no creepy irk skittering around) and lastly…curse it all…an amazing coffee machine that I am itching to try if I go back to visit again…
I ate a slice and chatted with @targaryen…the tour was led by @chadp (who also gave me a swag irk bag)
…my point man on the inside was @cythwolf…the photographer (thankfully or you would prob have never seen the pizzas, sodas, cookies etc) was @riskybryzness and last but not least extra thanks @brandom who helped lug all the sodas inside (2 trips…blame @aetris)…I met everyone…seriously…mostly everyone who was there…and that was alot of names to aborb…it would take another meeting or two to remember everyone (plus after getting the tot down I may have had a glass or two of wine…j/s)…so if I didn’t mention you by name…its because I’m still mixed up on who’s who…but it was a pleasure meeting all of you…
I also viewed the infamous goat trophy
…which displays no one…perhaps the challenge should be for someone to either create a goat trophy for a participants (hey…I’m just glad to be here) and/or figure out how to get the trophy filled out/updated…just a thought…i mean really…it looks like it wants to try…but has been sidelined…soooo…bueller…bueller…anyone?(and if there’s a meh employee who doesn’t know this reference you need to be taken to mega-couch1 and updated…)
Thanks for the tour…ya’ll made my day!!!..thanks for the tea (wait for it)…I am happy to come back and sample more…seriously…Thanks for the swag! Thanks for the opportunity Meh community!!! This would’ve never happened without all of you!
@amehzinggrace Yay!!! I’m not sure which is more valuable - the post it or the szechuan sauce.
@cinoclav I have mixed feelings about the sauce…on the one hand…I remember its deliciousness back in the day (curse you mcdonalds for not reviving this sauce on a permanent basis)…on the other hand…it may be one of the last of its kind and is therefore very valuable in and of itself…I am honored that I received it…I am torn as to what to do w/ it…eat it…sell it…or return it to its owner (they may have loved it only to set it free and are hoping it may return to them?)
@amehzinggrace Whoa. You got the sauce? @chadp must have really enjoyed that pizza.
@amehzinggrace Also, little known fact - the head in the box only replies in the form of a question.
@amehzinggrace You can base your decision off of this: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC2.A0.H0.Xszechuan+sauc.TRS0&_nkw=szechuan+sauce&_sacat=0
@amehzinggrace Thanks for sharing your tour! I’m a little jealous right now.
@therealjrn as you should be
@cinoclav well…to be fair…for the fact that I only have the one…I’m inclined to hang onto it…although I have googled on how to duplicate…
@Thumperchick what’s in the box???..my bad…i didnt get a pic…so i had to spoil it for everyone…
@amehzinggrace @Thumperchick Is it…could it be…KEN JENNINGS’ HEAD???
@amehzinggrace The technology is there or @Moose did not need a fancy machine to etch…
https://meh.com/forum/topics/hey-goats-look-what-i-made
@Moose @speediedelivery i believe that the technology exists… but the ball has been dropped…
@amehzinggrace @Moose @speediedelivery Mehbe we can get @RiotDemon to start making goat trophies once she invests in her fancy schmancy new 3D printing contraption.
@amehzinggrace @cinoclav @Moose @RiotDemon @speediedelivery ok but I want my goat to wield a whip
@cinoclav @Moose @RiotDemon @speediedelivery @tinamarie1974 you know…maybe everyone’s goat could be personalized to reflect their spirit/goatdom/meh-ness…no 2 goats alike…except where someone was goated twice…which may lead to incentive to be re-goated…hmmmm…?
@amehzinggrace @cinoclav @Moose @RiotDemon @speediedelivery oh I love that idea!
@amehzinggrace @cinoclav @Moose @RiotDemon @speediedelivery @tinamarie1974 I am the Boat not goat.
@CaptAmehrican @cinoclav @Moose @RiotDemon @speediedelivery @tinamarie1974 soooo…you can be boated again?
@amehzinggrace @CaptAmehrican @cinoclav @Moose @RiotDemon @speediedelivery boated or boarded
@amehzinggrace From the looks of all those boxes, the SoundFloat loungers are going to be back sometime soon.
@amehzinggrace @cinoclav @Moose @speediedelivery haha, I’d have to learn how to 3d model as well.
Good on y’all for doing this, but CRAP!! All of the planning and chipping in took place while I was on vacation, and I was not really here much at all. I meant to get on this and do my part as soon as I got back, and totally forgot…
Now we’re going to have to do it all again.
@shahnm BOY ARE YOU IN LUCK!!! @chuegen HAS VOLUNTEERED TO DO A TACO PARTY FOR NEXT TIME!!!
@chuegen wants to, and I quote: “Make is rain tacos” this time around!!!
Feel free to message him so he can get this thing organized!
@chuegen @therealjrn I will be enthusiastically in on that as soon as I figure out what “Make is rain tacos” actually means…
I don’t think English is Chuey’s first language @shahnm. Either that, or I made a fucking typo. Which IS IT @chuegen?
@carl669
@chuegen @therealjrn What’s the English word for “tacos”?
@chuegen @shahnm @therealjrn
¡Más tacos!
i had a wine to go with that pizza! hah, awesome stuff!
POPSOCKETS! SPROCKETS! DAVY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
Some things left out…
I saw the mediocritee shirt printing area…have to tell you…IT EXISTS…the t-shirts are printed there on-site…apparently someone is/was out there nay-saying this… @chadp or @cythwolf told me to document this…and I was too busy looking at the meh prints I didn’t have that were there on the wall (screaming to be re-printed for those of us who will fork over the cash…like me…just saying) …I dropped the ball here…i have pics from the other side of the wall…where you can’t see the printing set up…unless you have the x-ray vision
…but its there…i saw it…it exists…that’s my bad for not taking more pics…I have to say…I may not be the representative ya’ll would’ve chosen…but I am the representative that ya’ll got stuck with cause I volunteered/begged…sorry…and you’re welcome…
for anyone who is curious about the chosen artwork on the tees…apparently if you are so bold as to send in your work…it just may be featured…nothing ventured…nothing gained…soooo…go forth and (attempt to) be infamous…
I also learned that Meh has nothing to do w/ the lab rat selection for Casemates…as I was willing to volunteer my services for ALL future sauvignon blancs (and sparkling wines, reislings, and ciders now that I think about it)…I’m a giver like that…although…for anyone who loves sauvignon blancs and has a trader joes nearby…I highly recommend this
…in fact I’m out…and planning to hit trader joes up tomorrow… @aetris - are you sure I can’t send you a “reward”?
That’s all I have for filling in some cracks tonight…stay tune for future episodes of tales of the big ass fan and why @targaryen couldnt get the tv to work…plus why @halfling tasted blueberry muffin in her tropical tea (now I want to try it concentrated correctly for over ice…I really loved that smell…never got the blueberry taste though)…and I’m really tempted to wander back for future tea tastings… (pretty please @riskybryzness)
I’ve also realized I have completed 9 clicks in a row and my calendar has returned (who knew!)…but we are going into the weekend where failure could be eminent…stay tuned…
@amehzinggrace hmmmmmmm. I don’t see any evidence of t-shirt printing.
@amehzinggrace Home town girl makes good! Thank you for your service and the update!
@amehzinggrace - Thanks for thinking of me! I wonder if white wine counts as a “clear fluid”? Anyway, cheers!
@RiotDemon its behind that shrubbery…it’ll appear if you stare long enough… and it deems you “worthy”…
@amehzinggrace okay, be right back. Staring.
@amehzinggrace but wait, if there’s a “Return to Vendor” topiary wall then how do IRKs get born?
@djslack
b-but… it DOES taste like blueberry!
@halfling Get back to me when you have some snozzberry tea.
