i think that depends on your religious convictions, but we probably shouldn’t get into that right now.

@PlacidPenguin Have you played Sam & Max Hit the Road?

@dashcloud

No

@PlacidPenguin I have never played Sam & Max Hit the Road.

@PlacidPenguin You really should- it’s a phenomenal game with just the kind of logic you’d be excellent at.

@dashcloud

If I got the game I’d play it.

@therealjrn

I have never hit a road.

I have been hit by a road. It involved a bicycle and going down a very long steep “suicide hill”.

@triplebud

The glow in the dark ones?

@PlacidPenguin yep! And I loved the box btw!

@Yoda_Daenerys

Apparently @triplebud loved the box.

It wasn’t supposed to turn out that way.

He was supposed to actually notice that there was stuff IN the box.

@PlacidPenguin i have heard you have nice boxes

@f00l

Come for the alcohol, and then we can fly to @snapster s house for the bouncy house, and then stay for the Meh meet upwhich @Barney was working on.

@PlacidPenguin
Will @snapster do his house up in Purple to welcome us?

/giphy purple house

@f00l @Barney

Implying that @snapster s house isn’t always purple?

@PlacidPenguin
Have not checked.

One hopes.

@f00l @therealjrn

I have never lived in a purple house.

@PlacidPenguin
Then I wish both of us - plus @Barney and @snapster and others - the opportunity.

There are lots more. I can never get the Pinterest pix that load here.

Two pix are dups, but oh well. It’s a great house.

@PlacidPenguin
Here w are you so effing good at remember and finding old posts? And tips you can share?

Hey @Barney, what happened with our purple imaginary meetup?

/giphy imaginary purple

@f00l

@PlacidPenguin can’t share the secret behind this, even with the @f00l

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@f00l @PlacidPenguin
I have never lived in duplicate houses.

@therealjrn
@PlacidPenguin

I have never duplicated living in a house.

@f00l You know, I was comparing the lack of a policy at work to someone painting their house purple with pink polka dots due to lack of a HOA. Now i have a graphic to go with that, and I didnt have to Google. You are now my BFF

@Pamtha

This conversation is getting curiouser and curiouser.

@Barney Not the giphy I wanted, but, oh, it’s so cute.

@Barney
You know I really put up those house pix for you, right?

@f00l Yep, . Your purple pix are my “bat signal”.

@Barney I love purple, too!

@f00l I have never seen a whole Harry Potter movie

@therealjrn @f00l

Something about @MEHcus.

@therealjrn
The acting and effects can be pretty wonderful.

To me the best ones are 1,3,4.

Was not crazy about the director choice for 5-8. I thought the actors carried those in spite of the director. Snape (Rickman) owned it.

Worth sitting thru the series imho.

A fine sample for #3

@f00l Looks good!
While I have ridden a double-decker bus I have never ridden a triple-decker bus.

@ELUNO it was too much like thinking to figure out how to transfer pictures to pc and keep kids from running off with things, so I deferred to today… I am sorry… please don’t die on us… (OMG, they have a clown icon thingie!)

Thx for mentioning. How is life in CT?

@ELUNO I swear I replied that I had a moment, but now it is missing… think I might have lost my mind along the way.

@mikibell
Don’t rush to mess w box if you are sick. Just do nothing except indulge self if you can.

How far into autumn are you? Is it actually cold yet?

@f00l sick is a state of being…if I let it stop me, I would never start!

@DaveInSoCal that spot it game is a hit with all the kids i know

@PlacidPenguin Even though she is on the packaging, those hair clips are clearly not Rainbow Dash.
Thee hair clips are Princess Twilight Sparkle.

@mikibell @f00l you are being paged!
Great box!

@mikibell Ooh, that book showed up in another thread, didn’t it?

@sammydog01
@mikibell
@ELUNO

If I’d had more time/energy, I’d had added more whimsical stuff. But I tried to do ok for my first box exchange.

PS you don’t have a Blu-Ray player? If you don’t plan on getting one, pls feel free to trade/sell/whatever.

PPS: those fitness watches are not Polar’s latest and greatest, but Polar is Da Bomb in terms of quality. If you are serious with fitness, you prob want a Polar, Garmin, or Suunto, and I think those are decent ones. I ordered in error (the people I was buying for already had similar) and forgot to return them.

PPPS: hope you and family are well, or getting to well. Illness sux.

PPPPS: I love that thing you do w trucks and fundraising. At first I thought it was a “hands on a truck contest” for a free truck; then I figured out it was a cool charity. Thanks for being that sort of family.

@f00l I call that a quality box. Nice job!

@sammydog01 yes it did

@f00l well done

/giphy wheel donut

@sammydog01 I agree!! I think it was well done also…

@f00l aww shucks… we do the touch a truck because it is fun… and it keeps the kids outa trouble. Hubby and I have been members of BSA longer than we have had kids, and it is a great place to learn, even as adults. I tell people that dealing with the board of directors in our fortune 500 company is no worse than a bunch of cub scout parents

as to feeling better, I think so. I slept the entire day yesterday and went to bed on time last night!! Going in for surgery in a couple of weeks and the prep of medicine is making me sicker but that which does not kill you, makes you stronger, or so I hear!!

The kids think the watches are awesome… kinda wished one was for me … sigh, the downside of being a mom!!! (but it has its many benefits, so I am on the winning side)…

I think one of the laptops will read blu-ray, just haven’t gotten the energy to look. My daughter wants to watch the movie, so we will find a way

I love my box o meh… so two thumbs up from this house!!

Smarties are like Mountain Dew. I go years without them and then taste them and think “How did I forget how good this is?”

There are only 12 packs now. Must put them away.

@Confusedkitty I must admit my guess was wrong, but you certainly sent an awesome box!

I’m not yet a Guillebeau fan but think I will be soon. I just picked up the $100 Startup not too long ago and haven’t started it yet. This book just looks relevant as I’ve been coming to the realization that I’ve followed my career path not because I love it, but just because I’m good at it, and I feel like I should maybe be doing something else but don’t have a clue what that something else is. I didn’t know it existed before opening the box, but it feels like it might be something I need to pay attention to.

I definitely like and will enjoy much of the box, and other items are perfect gifts for people in my life, which is also wonderful. Thanks again!

@djslack have you ever checked out Chris’ blog The Art of Non-Conformity? It has a ton of great content for us non-conventional types

@Confusedkitty I forgot to add a note as well. But I got a small drawing on the side of the box. Which doesn’t identify me either…

@baqui63 out sick, but not home? are we talking hospitalized here?

hope all is good

@baqui63 I’m sure it’s beyond meh. Hopefully you will find something of use. If your cats are anything like mine, they will love some of the contents.

@Yoda_Daenerys I have almost all deliveries go to my job. My comment above was posted from work.

I was home sick on Monday and Tuesday; the box from @savvysapphire arrived (at work) on Wednesday morning.

Central Receiving is between where I usually park and my office. I frequently park, go into CR, get packages, hang out and talk for a while, go back to my car, and then go to my office.

This afternoon “they” were shooting an episode of The Americans in Central Receiving (and a bunch of other places on campus). I had to go out at 4:30 and move my car.

@baqui63 M first box of meh and not so meh stuffs from @savvysapphire:

I might add some close-up pix later: ask if you want to see anything closer. (So you can zoom in, the photo URL is \http://i.imgur.com/yGAhk1h.jpg.) Note that the hose in the background on the nightstand is from the CPAP machine, not the Dyson.

For some reason, the cats refused to participate in the opening of the box. Every time I left the room, they jumped on the bed to explore but when I went back towards the bedroom, they both ran away.

Comments on some of the items:

• the duck tape is the Dill Pickle pattern
• the purple water gun is awesome! I had the SAME ONE (except with a white trigger) until the pump broke about a year ago. I used it for kitteh control.
• the red and green things by the yellow Cat-5 cable are some kind of frog things
• I will try the FireFlye (led valve caps) on my bicycle
• the squareish orange framed box above the Flash Bugs is a laser pointer with colored lens things; the cats will like this a lot
• with this Stickup BT speaker I may finally build that 7.1 shower speaker system
• I didn’t feel like taking down the smoke detectors to get a 9V battery to test it, but if the Football 2 game works it may well be even more awesome than the purple water gun. (Not that I especially like American Football, but old electronic games can be way cool.)
• the woot shirt is a 2XL and one I do not have!
• the Tipsy LED tap light may be perfect for my nightstand when I’m reading non-electronic books
• some of the kids toys will be saved by my kids for their kids (hopefully not arriving any time soon); the other toys and games will likely be appreciated by several neighbors (people next door will probably love the Kids Night Out Restaurant Bingo).

All in all, a most awesome box and only slightly meh.

Thanks, @savvysapphire!

@baqui63 what’s the TL:DR - are doing all right?

@Yoda_Daenerys Sorry, I thought I was clear; apparently not.

Yes, I’m fine. Monday and Tuesday, I decided to stay home and (mostly) sleep instead of go to work and spread germs around.

@Stallion sure, blame it on “they”

This is like… when you get bored with the weird shit on the back of a cereal box, you can change it to one of these predetermined 20 weird cereal box shits?

A utensil solely for dipping Oreos into milk. Does not say anything about Oreos Thins compatibility. Does not say anything about soymilk compatibility.

This probably wouldn’t deserve its own photo, but two things: ‘prepasted’ vinyl border that requires adhesive, and the fact that this glorified tape was somehow made and assembled on two different continents.

Umm, ok, more on this in a minute.

Did meh ever sell these? Seems like a product that was made for them. Like, literally designed and produced, start-to-finish with the sole goal of selling it here.

A pretty Eco-Drive?! Dang! Seriously, I’ve had an occasion to wear a gold watch like once in my life, but this will be a strong contender if that ever happens again. Love Eco-Drives.

Speaks for itself.

Okay, L26 Game Player 2…

Contains 8 games that all use this same basic display scheme. They all feel like they were programmed by a third-grader. The backlight and game power are independent of each other (so the game can be off, but still glowing). The games are on four cartridges:

…with imaginative names like ‘HitBrick’ and ‘FillBrick’. But why would such simple games need cartridges? Couldn’t all these things just fit on system ROM?

Of course they could, and do, and the ‘cartridges’ just short different pins to tell the game what you want to play.

@brhfl

Fun box.

@therealjrn
I have never dunked an Oreo in milk. (Of course, I’ve never eaten Oreos, so…)

And, the items not called out:

• Cardboard box
• 2x Star Wars Clone Wars 2012 calendars
• 6 episodes of Invader Zim that, despite being on an SD card, are almost certainly unviewable due to some obscure DRMed format
• Stubby multibit screwdriver
• Mota G2 Lite Smartwatch (The Smartphone Solution!)
• 2x ‘Zipper Tote’, slightly-larger-than-pencil-bag bags
• Zhip phone stand, ‘the only stand with a zip!’ whatever the hell that means
• Queens College notebook
• Han Solo Luke Skywalker Wedge Antilles action figure. Weird!
• Bracketron Nanotek phone stand. Heh, ‘Bracketron’
• Coby IEMs, aka free red IEM tips
• Tiny pitcher plant terrarium
• Switch it by Nan, ‘the only clear translucent handbag organizer!’
• Toccs bungee cable
• Barbie Nostalgic Fashion Accessories, Clutch Hinged Box with Gloves, set of 2
• Polaroid branded Nintendo DS Cooking Game stylus set
• Crayon-shaped ‘Manual Night Light’
• Yoda ‘guest of honor’ ribbon pin
• Alpine meadows soap/lotion
• Jedi vs. Sith pencil case

@brhfl

@brhfl I am glad you like the stuffs.

A few of those items (the Mota G2, Zhip clip, Toccs cable, Bracketron and the box) came from Meh. Most of the others (including the dipper, watch, book, L26 game, 2012 calendars and of course the Cooking Stylus) came from woot (in various BOC).

I have plenty more Cooking Stylus (Styli?), L26 games and at least one more Bob Sledding book, should you want more.

@baqui63 well done

@capguncowboy I think the self shame is kind of part of the deal–you sent off your junk and then got something else awesome. It may be that new junk is inherently awesomer than the junk you already had. Or it could be that other people have cooler junk than we do.

I know I felt the same way after opening mine, but I hope my victi–err, recipient thinks that my junk is cool too.

Taking a risk here…
/giphy do you like my junk

P.S. nice trebuchet!

@capguncowboy I got that watch as a broken fuko gift from meh, and had the replacement parts shipped to me from Martian Watches. Its easy to take apart if you have one of those tiny screwdrivers for glasses or watch repair. I fixed it myself so uh no promises on durability
I thought it was pretty cool and would have kept it but my wrists are smaller than a 9-year olds so it looks gimongous and weird on me.

@capguncowboy Headsets are these things, and obviously are for using your phone while shopping on meh.

@capguncowboy I have at least two (maybe more) of the headset things if you want them.

@Stallion I will be out of town, but will do later in the week, thanks!

@Stallion Got it today, opening soon!

@juststephen jet is the new bolt is the new rally?

@juststephen Just FYI - none of the photos you’ve posted are coming thru for me (at the office). I’ll check again at home tonight with different machine/browser

@compunaut I think it’s just you. Using the church wifi and they’re coming up just fine.

@compunaut They are coming up fine on my main work computer.

@zachdecker Perhaps I’ll use the shot of vodka to clean some mold that’s been attempting to grow on my desk. Tempted to drink it, but I have only had one sip of alcohol (bud light when I turned 21) in my life, and trying to keep it that way… That was eight years ago. Time flies.

@juststephen Glad the box of stuff I didn’t want/need got to you!

The power cord is an iGo, and the little adapters are mostly for charging obsolete phones (an A97 tip is mini-USB, but I’m not sure if any useful ones are in the bag).

Sorry about the vodka, but I figured anyone who hangs around here and asks for this sort of crap will be driven to drink eventually.

Plus vodka because I am secretly a Russian trying to hack this scam…

@zachdecker Believe me, that Keurig will be getting a ton of use. My father will use it at least twice a day, and I’ll use it for hot chocolate water and stuff - perhaps try to throw my own hot chocolate keurig recipe together using cocoa powder, sugar, etc… Probably won’t turn out well.

The water bulbs are currently stuck in a plant in the living room that sat in my grandmother’s house for about ten years before she passed away four years ago, it’s been a very long lived plant, and due to this it’ll last a lot longer (especially if we forgot to water it)

Most of the lowhanging loose pez has been devoured… I once ordered 2lb of pez on Amazon and destroyed it in two days. True story.

I also didn’t photograph a USB Internet Speakerphone thinger for use with Skype for clearer calls. Sorry!

Also, a single use g-string in a plastic baggy!

@juststephen OH MY GOD! YOU GAVE THAT TO YOUR DAD?! Why do you hate him so much?!!

Seriously though, he probably won’t get too badly burned as long as he’s careful…

http://miniplusbrewer.com/

@compunaut same here no pics… getting “s10.postimg.org refused to connect”

@thismyusername I can see the pictures, but I wonder if this has something to do with the stuff posted on postimage.org/

I put my image on tinypic.com after reading about the problems at postimage

@zachdecker Crickey.

I requested a repair kit.

Thank you for submitting your information and for being a Keurig customer.

Your brewer is affected by this potential issue. You will receive a free repair kit, which we expect to ship beginning in January 2015.

@zachdecker just use the meh hosted pics… so easy… or imgur… imgur always seems to work.

@zachdecker The Company has received approximately 200
incident reports related to the approximately 7.2 million MINI Plus units in the U.S. and Canada, which
equates to an incidence rate of approximately 0.003%.

That’s not bad. Even less of a chance than if you bought an “exploding” note 7.

@juststephen I honestly wouldn’t worry about it, but that’s just me. I won that at a golf outing this month, and I would have used it as it was if I didn’t already have one.

@zachdecker ahh just read that! so yea looks like cloudflare cut them off… that would explain it and I am happy it is not my connection, but sad for all the people who have images hosted on there!

@zachdecker oh man, i knew their war russian spices involved in this gigi somehow

well done! i had a couple of spits of my adult beverage of choice from guffas in your honor

/youtube gigi beach party

@thismyusername Shit! Why am I always one of the last to learn of these things?!!!

I did not know that Meh can host pix directly, tho I am not surprised at this functionality. I’ve been uploading pix to imgur to share them here (because Dropbox is kinda-sorta-muchly lame in many ways).

Also, based on your previous boxes, how many of these Android plushies do you have??

@zachdecker @mikeleemm

I like the Bugdroid plushies. I have 3 of them in different sizes.

(Of course, I also have a Bugdroid speaker, a Bugdroid made out of Lego, a Bugdroid figurine (I used to have 2), and a Bugdroid case for my Nexus 5.
I need to get more Bugdroid stuff though…)

@mikeleemm well done

/lolspeak well done

@zachdecker lol, I did a foolish thing years back and bought a dozen from Thinkgeek, and they’ve been staring at me like WTF did you do. Also, hopefully the markers still work, I didn’t try them, but were a similar impulse purchase.

@PlacidPenguin that thermos brings memories.

Whoops, turns out the tissue wasn’t included in the box…

Carry on…

@PlacidPenguin good job ol chap!

@triplebud Oh my gosh I hope that bite got better. No idea what it was? And I assume you’re north of Florida, home of weird and creepy insects.

@sammydog01 its not really going away but the swelling went down and it doesn’t hurt anymore. Yeah, im in NJ. They think it was a tick or a spider. Just glad I didnt leave it like i normally would because I hate the doctor. She said it could have gotten really bad

@triplebud And your leg is still attached, so that’s a plus.

@sammydog01 huge plus

@triplebud When it is that red, if it is also hot you can also have cellulitis in the mix (I get cellulitis each and every time I get a fire ant bite and it spreads fast with me anyway).

@Kidsandliz it is warm but the shot in the butt and all these drugs they gave me have it feeling like my leg is not burning off anymore thank god.

@triplebud Well that is good. Hopefully it will continue to improve.

@triplebud

The Scoovy things are for the “self-balancing” boards which don’t balance automatically on their own, and which people ridiculously call “hoverboards”.

@PlacidPenguin ahhhh ty ty

@RiotDemon
Am either hating or loving the MSWord button.

Hating, I think

Now if that were the title of a big release horror film …

Everything else you got I love.
Who was the sender?

I’m not sure who my sender is because there is no meh username.

The speaker works and will go in my shower

The paracord bracelet will go in my car with my emergency supply bag. I guess if I ever go hiking somewhere, I can wear it in case I get lost.

The little calendar thing can go next to my fisherman in my shelf. It has a ships wheel on it, so it seems fitting.

I’ll actually try to grow the bonsai kit. Reading the instructions are a little intimidating. They sound almost like the instructions for growing roses from seeds, which I have to do as well. I guess I can do them at the same time.

@f00l a new user bumped the ms word thread.
/giphy timing

@RiotDemon I sent my recipient a paracord bracelet as well. Hopefully it till save his/her life.

@ELUNO I’m hoping I’d never need it, but if I ever go camping or anything, I’d bring it.

@RiotDemon OH HAI IT WERE ME

I have had that MS Word button for freaking DECADES. Please treasure it with the all the fullest treasuringness that its stature demands.

(Or pitch it, either-or…)

@rprussell I think I’ll keep it in case of the off chance that I ever get @f00l as a recipient in the future.

@legendornothing
HOAs are the Spawn of Satan.

@f00l

Oh, @Barney! Look up. Look down.

@f00l I could have painted my shed purple. I should have done it. Who cares if the neighbors hate me?

@Barney They wouldn’t hate you.

@Barney

I though I was going to paint your shed…

@PlacidPenguin I waited and waited and you never showed up. However, I’ll let you paint the trim, if I decide to make it purple.

@Barney

I’m still deciding if I want to spend 7+ hours on a train. After all, I don’t fly.

@compunaut @juststephen

Nice!
Stuff from the b-day fuko.

@PlacidPenguia I don’t recall, to be honest… AH, THE BDAY TATTOOS. sorry, meh caps

@juststephen

And the Meh koozie.

@compunaut wait it was supposed to be a large? Looks like im sending another box

@savvysapphire Doh just realized some of those are duplicate items from another exchange! Didn’t mean to do that, so there might be a later surprise

@mikeleemm lol, it was still a great surprise. And now I have two Droid plushies. I can let the cat maul one now and not feel bad.

@savvysapphire Let’s call this a re-do or maybe a Part 2. I’ve got another box heading to you. Following the same guidelines, something from Meh, stuff not from Meh, something a little festive, and some stuff I’ve had around here too long .

@mikeleemm oh wow. Thanks. You didn’t have to, but I’m sure I’m going to appreciate it. As will the cats who are now getting a new box! Lol

@mikeleemm Hi! Wanted to let you know I received the new box! I love it!

Such great goodies to include:
A Meh bottle of wine…honestly, I wanted to try it, but couldn’t bring myself to buy it, so thanks!
A Kindle, with a case and wall charger! This is cool, thanks!
A pet treat thrower…I’m kinda scared they won’t find the treat and I’ll in fact be treating random bugs lol
A peppermint bark bar (yum!)
Dinosaur socks…my mom is giving these to my brother in his stocking lol
Some really cute erasers, two different packages/kinds
A super cute cat sticky note pad!
Bella Sara and MLP card packages…not sure I want to open these, or throw them at some poor child who will wonder about me for the rest of their life.
And a mystery puzzle…

…which awesomely turned out to be a MLP puzzle. Yes, I had to put it together, both before I ate dinner…and my poor starving (not really, but they thought they were) cats!

Thank you! I love it all!

@savvysapphire that m looks like the one that shows up in the browser bar.

The roll up cutting board, I thought it was a silicone baking mat.

Nice haul.

@RiotDemon I thought it was a baking mat too. If it is, they’re really nice.

@savvysapphire Glad you don’t totally hate it! Hah! Few points: The socks, the PF bag, and the Car Cam were my ‘meh’ objects. The bag is totally cute but not my thing so I hope it’s appreciated!
The wireless mouse is bluetooth. It’s not my favorite mouse, but… now you have a spare mouse? haha
My outside pumpkin is also uncarved.
The Gerber thingy is more of a safety blade sort of thing for opening boxes and the like.
The 9 (I had no idea how many I threw in) pipettes are unused, so if you ever need to pipette something… they should be fine, hah!
The postcard has a URL on it, some of the random garbage items will, in fact, make a little more sense after that. Maybe. Hopefully.

@RiotDemon is right on both accounts — It’s a silicone baking mat, and it’s the meh favicon.

@savvysapphire Oh, and I don’t know how I ended up w/ two copies of that Upshaw disc but I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to give one of them away. Upshaw just has one of those voices, and it’s a truly lovely recording.

Also your siamese melts my heart!

@brhfl ah. Cool silicone baking mat! I’m so bad with knowing these things, I bake, but I don’t cook, and I didn’t know silicone baking mats existed! Nice, I tried the url, but it was just some numbers, so I either typed it I wrong in my exhausted state or I’m missing something.

@brhfl silicone baking mats are great. I love mine.

@brhfl Thank you, Sapphire melts my heart too. It’s how she gets away with everything! She’s not a purebred, but her personality is all Siamese! Wouldn’t trade her for the world, regardless of how many times I tell her I’m trading her in for a better model lol!

@savvysapphire There are a bunch of numbers somewhere in your package as well. When you’re less exhausted.

@brhfl ah, yes, even though I had since Friday to figure that out, I was missing something lol! So much going on this weekend. I’ll look into it tomorrow.

No delivery here, yet.

I forgot to put a note in/on my shipped box. I did remember to ship it so that counts for peanuts, right?

@Stallion yup… you should have it very soon… very sorry, been under the weather and it put me behind schedule.

@mikibell No sweat, happy to know its eventually in the works

@DaveInSoCal Hi, DaveInSoCal… I will try to post tonight. If I can lay it all out before the kids get home from trick-o-treat, it will show all. If not, it will be missing items I commandeered for the kids’ stockings That putty is coooolll…

@DaveInSoCal i’ll send out an apb whenever you’d like

@Yoda_Daenerys Arrived today. Will post pics tomorrow eve, probably.

@tinamarie1974 @DaveInSoCal Sorry guys just moved to a new apt and they are making me come by the office DURING BUSINESS HOURS to pick up packages! I’m hoping to be able to jet off from work early to grab those tomorrow. Sorry for the delay but, the wait will only make them that much more exciting (disappointing?)!

@heli0s oh my gosh, that stinks!! I hope you are able to get them w/o much trouble!

@tinamarie1974 i’ve put an apb out to locate your package.

in the meantime, give your mail carrier some trick or treat candy - it might get there faster

/youtube in the mean time

@Yoda_Daenerys thank you and good idea! THat is one way to get rid of the extra halloween candy

@RiotDemon You are BRAVE! I opened the box and couldn’t go any further…but I don’t regret it since you’ve show that its nearly all junk. This box should be an example of what NOT to send in an exchange.

Yes an exchange can be all worthless stuff, but this box was straight garbage! Was definitely crushing when I took the time to find lots of Meh worthy stuff and sent it off to a fellow Mehrican, and then I got this in return. I wish I knew who sent this box to me…

@RiotDemon Thanks for taking the challenge, you have proven you are one of the most daring Mehers!

@Stallion you weren’t kidding about the junk drawer feel.

I mean, the top of one of those yogurt things really did me in. You can’t really expect someone to use that, can you?

I’m glad you got to see the contents, but I might regret it a little. Lol
The flying monkey even screeched at me when I dropped the box on top of my garbage can. It’s too bad, but chocolate is so hard to get out of fabrics. The handcuffs and the wig were semi protected because of being in a box and a bag.

@RiotDemon The is a better box than one I got in one exchange…

@Kidsandliz Hopefully not the one I sent you?

On a side note: I shared your wonderful creations with two lucky mehtizens this exchange

@DaveInSoCal No not yours. I guess you didn’t like some of my things - such a pity one man’s junk isn’t another man’s treasure. Who would have thunk? If it was the meh pingpong balls someone better appreciate them as it took ages to “sharpie” them (LOL). Of course that is all your fault and not the goat’s since in a thread you wanted meh to sell meh branded ones and so I branded them, meh style, for you. And it better not be that sports decoration or I will hunt you down and get you as I went out and bought that (grin). You do remember I have your address don’t you? Of course you may gamble that it is 2000 miles away from me, I am broke so what could I do…but I have FRIENDS and RELATIVES in So Cal and one is an ENGINEER who loves to do elaborate pranks, another one is in college studying to be an engineer and is being schooled on how you use those skills to say, put a locked car (without being caught) where it doesn’t belong and will be very hard to get down, or cause the lights on the library tower (access is behind locked doors) to blink on and off in morris code sending a message - ya know. Mundane things like that. Yours was appropriately meh and good at the same time.

@Kidsandliz Are you kidding? I LOVED the box I got from you! You sent me 6 artfully crafted meh ping pong balls, so I thought it would be nice to share two of them with other mehtizens.

@Kidsandliz I can’t imagine a worse box than this… Yikes.

@DaveInSoCal I was just giving you a hard time : ) All boxes have items that are, um shall we politely say, “white elephants” to be passed around each meh exchange… and with luck never make it back to the original sender (grin)

@RiotDemon hahaha and I was worried about what I sent @stallion… I guess mine can’t be that bad!!! (I hope!)

@mikibell My Box showed up, Woohoo! Hoping I have time to go through it later tonight or tomorrow. I cracked the top and it looked Mehtastic, can’t wait!

@RiotDemon The trail mix is really good if the bag isn’t a loss.

@dashcloud I’ll have to take your word for it. I wasn’t going to bother disinfecting the bag to attempt it. That chocolate was stuck all over everything.

@f00l Ditto.

@f00l @placidpenguin is the author of this thread, whatchoo talkin’ bout willis?

@Yoda_Daenerys

From earlier in this thread:

Yoda_Daenerys said Monday at 1:35 AM:
i’m a little blurry-eyed twonight

ale this looks pretty grate

has any-who been mist so far?

eff ewe oar missing a sheep-ment, >pleeze let da authori-tees no

hmmm, Meh.

I respond to your call.

I am missing a box and a brain. Which lack do you wish to attempt repair of first? Your choice!

@f00l here post this, might help

And I take it…

@Kidsandliz
It’s smaller than that. Way smaller. Very very micro-mini.

/giphy micro-mini

@f00l According to USPS it should have arrived today. I have tracking info in my car if you’d like me to check.

@Yoda_Daenerys no box for this guy.

@connorbush
I use a maildrop. Was there midday, will check again tomorrow.
No worries.

Excited now!

@f00l has the parcel been safely received at the drop-site?

@connorbush
Your package is not missing.

Apparently my local distribution PO has the habit of scanning stuff as Delivered when they receive it, not when they deliver it.

And then they take 2 more days to get it out (was not there yesterday).

Your box is now received and intact. I will mess with it further either late tonite or sometime this weekend.

Am still excited! Much thx in advance!

@f00l cry cry

@connorbush
Got box home then, no warning, left town asap. Apologies, box still unopened.

Will be home tonite. Pls forgive my delay.

@connorbush
Hey, I opened your great box early this morning when I got home, I love it, and posted pix of everything and everything looks either useful or intriguing or both and am esp interested in the whiskey.

See further down this thread. Apologies re delay.

Thx thx thx thx thx!

@mehbee Thank you! I’ve been away but I will post as soon as I get a chance

@gnext2 Awesome, at least I know I sent it correctly, not sure how well I did with the box.

@Kidsandliz yes

@Yoda_Daenerys Thanks for the info

@Kidsandliz

I wasn’t going to say anything here, but with your permission of course, I’d like to be able to send you a box…

@PlacidPenguin Just hold yer horses, buckaroo. @Yoda_Daenerys has a ‘system’ in place to cover all the angles.
Uhh, I think…

@compunaut

I emailed @Yoda_Daenerys yesterday, but I blame me for the fact that I didn’t understand the response.

@compunaut mis-placed confidence?

the more the mary her, that’s what they say right?

it is a tiny bit difficult to keep track of who’s on first with the “boxes missing queue” constantly updating…

/giphy i wish i had something funny to say

@PlacidPenguin wait, someone who doesn’t understand everything i say?

/youtube hard decisions that may

@PlacidPenguin hi please email me at my username with the usual yahoo…thanks

It took longer than I wanted to get these posted but, here we go, first box received from @pamtha! Lots of goodies here, Halloween themed goodies, goodie bag, lantern, ipod (won’t charge it says), paracord, luggage tag, card sleeves, laces, shaker ball, Harley, Tic Tacs, corn butterer, glow lights, balloons, coaster, rubber band ball, USB cable, audio cable, eyes, puzzles, poop game, pencils and more happy birthday pencils, necklace, skewers, yellow floatie thingie, shelf liner, gloves, gift bag, dvd movie Tora Tora Tora, and last but not least, the Meh classic, neoprene sleeve.

Actually I’ll be making use out of a lot of this, the cables I actually was needing, ipod is now part of my ipod collection, forgot to mention the electrical tape, but that always comes in handy. Poop sounds like fun too

@mikeleemm Nice stuff! And it all looks new!

@mikeleemm @pamtha
Ooh, I love that skull bag. Any chance of knowing where it came from?

@RiotDemon Walmart, it was less than a buck.

@RiotDemon
I’ve seen similar items at Dollar General. Dunno about this year.

@Pamtha thank you. I went to one Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and didn’t see it. Maybe I’ll try the other one.

I’ve been looking for reusable shopping bags that aren’t super lame… Lol

This next box was from @baqui63 and starts with a couple 2012 Clone Wars calendars, phone stand/hook, cell phone charger, Toy Story curtain hooks (my favorite), basketball speakers, pet snack thrower, MJ figure, Queens college notebook, mini flashlight, a personalized company mug and some type of holder, funky tablecloth, cell phone stand, USB cable (very needed), a cooking game stylus (very specific), a monster model thing, a set of ducks, and a mystery wrapped item, which appears to be some type of LCD game.

@mikeleemm Glad you can use some of the stuff!

Note to all: I am now out of 2012 Star Wars calendars.

@baqui63 dagnabit, i was just about to ask for a yoda callout in the calendar

@Yoda_Daenerys Well, the way woot was giving those away in 2013 and 2014, I’m sure there are other people who have them (I got at least 6, maybe 7 of them in BOCs during that time range).

If you ask nicely, @brhfl or @mikeleemm might be willing to part with one of theirs.

Last but definitely not least, a big box from @savvysapphire. I completely forgot the first exchange I did was to @savvysapphire, and this time was too. Silly me sent the same stuff, doh! Maybe I will have to share more goodies But back to the package received, first, a Cabbage Patch Kid (I love it). Then another baby doll in package, wine carrier/protectors, baby toys, vintage eraser and fasteners (wow, I haven’t seen fasteners like that since I was little), glow sticks, little bunny, what I think looks like a pigduck, iphone protector, jumping frogs, flashy laces, phone cord, light up stems, 3ds case with pokemon (perfect for the 3ds), squirt gun, power wheels charger, Mork and Mindy Hotwheel (neat!), Penguin Duck Tape (always useful), door alarm, light up thing, carrying strap, vintage crayons, can converters (interesting, might need to try this), flashlight, headphones (yay!), laser pointer (yay!), glow stick, fun pad, bingo, magnet ears, note pad, spongebob watch, game thing, tap light and of course, the Meh Neoprene sleeve (strangely a different one than I had sent from the pictures, lol)

@mikeleemm Funny how you got similar items (tape and neoprene) in two separate boxes!

@mikeleemm glad it arrived safe and sound! . Glad you found some enjoyable goodies inside!

@savvysapphire I have your package in my house, but haven’t had a chance to post. Will try to do it tonite.

@DaveInSoCal

score = -1

Meh.

@Yoda_Daenerys posting quick pick now. There was a YUUUUUUUUUGE account of stuff in this medium sized home depot box from @savvysapphire!

@Stallion
/giphy aw shucks

@Pamtha

Was the cat plush part of the box?
It looks SO LIFELIKE!

@ilovehollboll It is probably catnip powered too. Been so long since meh sold batteries they wouldn’t be able to have any other kind. : )
