"Meh." Merchandise Site Wanted
22Dear meh.
I would like a site that sells only “meh.” branded apparel. A site that I can simply go to buy a “meh.” shirt at any time. Or a hat. Or even other material such as mugs, pens, koozies, or even those silly things that people stick on their phone case. A place where I can go to browse and buy until my little heart is content for the day. A place, where my toddler can poke the screen at a pretty outfit that would fit her toddler size. A place, where mediocre people can continue to buy mediocre things that are just plan meh.
I know mediocritee.com is a thing, and I have bought some shirts over there. However, I yern for more “meh.” products.
Please and thank you.

I hereby use this as evidence that the public demanded this
@dave Hundreds of requests for Irk plushes and THIS is what you pay attention to? Fine, we’ll take them with Irk wearing a meh shirt.
@EvilTuna31x You are one sick puppy. However… If they have something in a purple…
Or possibly a deep v t-shirt for us girls
Dark color (deep purple) Hoodie?
Maybe print once a week or something? (I know little about the mechanics and cost involved). Were the birthday offerings done in house?
@speediedelivery Yes!
@speediedelivery Um, yes for the deep purple Hoodie. I don’t know about the birthday offerings. However, I thought they were too expensive.
@Barney I was thinking it could be an “add on” item. As much as I dislike the idea, I don’t know of another way to keep company costs in check for some of the cheaper fun stuff. I would likely spend a few bucks extra with something else to get a nifty keychain or something. If the warehouse could be arranged to toss in the stuff with the regular order. For the clothing, we are not all the same size and like the same color (purple, duh). There are space and tied up capital to order blanks for any and all as well as quantity discounts for large orders to consider. Sometimes it is no fun to think this way, everyone knows I am weird ☻
Where I was going when I went off the rails…cost of shipping, packing, labor, utilities, basic business makes it hard to sell cool stuff for nothing.
I was just curious if more than tshirts were getting printed in the mysterious place behind the wall.
TLDR Business stuff is expensive. I like purple hoodies. Do you print more than tshirts?
@speediedelivery Wow, you really have been doing some serious thinking. Does your head hurt?
@Barney @speediedelivery ah but the t-shirts can be ordered from places where free trade agreement exist. Depending on volume, purchasing from somewhere like Guatemala is significantly cheaper while the quality is great. Just sayin…
@Barney How did you know that? Are you peeking in my window?
@speediedelivery Nope, can’t peek in your window. You never gave me your new address.
@Barney I heard a rumor that you moved too. You didn’t move far enough though cause Nathan and the sub know everything.
@speediedelivery It’s just a rumor that I moved. As for Nathan, I’m a little worried. He’s been gone almost two weeks. I hope all of my packages didn’t cause him to bid for a new route.
BTW, what kind of subs does the P.O. hire nowadays? I’ve had my mail delivered to the wrong house four different times. It’s a good thing that I have some good, honest neighbors.
If Nathan comes back, I’m baking him some cookies!
@Barney Good help is hard to find. Maybe when you let 5hem know they are delivering the mail wrong you can ask. I will cross my fingers for you. Maybe Nathan is talking a nice vacation. Normally the max is 3 weeks.
@speediedelivery I really don’t want to lose him, but the carriers on my route usually only stay for about 3 or 4 years. I think it’s because a lot of it is a walking route. Or it could be my all of my packages…
@speediedelivery

@DennisG2014 @speediedelivery Excellent band!
It’s not like t-shirts won the Field of 32 or anything.
@cinoclav despite the fact that they don’t have any cute shirts for women…deep v-neck…deep v-neck…deep v-neck
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974 she’s totally not going to give up on this until it happens, people
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974 or come in anything other than dark gothic colors completely unsuitable for summer or warm climate wear.
@cinoclav @nolrak I am a GOAT we are stubborn and when we know what we want we go after it with all our might!!
@nolrak @tinamarie1974 I’m sorry, do we know you?
@tinamarie1974 scissors, needle and thread or sewing machine. Problem solved. You are welcome.
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974 how deep are we talking here?
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974 correction: plunging necklines should be equal opportunity, I say. Within limits…
@UncleVinny like this one @cinoclav mocked up for me
@cinoclav @UncleVinny do what makes you happy
@Kidsandliz yeah, if I am gonna advertise for Meh, they need to do the work!
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974 @UncleVinny
Next level (the brand they use) does make a V neck:
https://www.nextlevelapparel.com/mens/mens-cotton-v.html
@cinoclav @RiotDemon @UncleVinny Oh they do! I really like this one. Not that anyone cares
https://www.nextlevelapparel.com/womens/women-s-relaxed-v.html
Or actually THIS
https://www.nextlevelapparel.com/womens/womens-tri-blend-dolman.html#
@cinoclav @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 I care! That big open neck is doggone sensual.
@cinoclav @RiotDemon @UncleVinny sadly they do not have a relaxed t with a deep v, but there were a few other good options.
@cinoclav @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 @UncleVinny
Frankly, I prefer a woman with a relaxed V over the alternative, but maybe that’s just me.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@cinoclav @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 @UncleVinny One thing to note is that Mediocre is not locked into any one manufacturer for the blanks. It’s not an old shirt.woot situation of custom manufactured blanks or needing to report to 200 levels of management to justify a substitution request.
@cinoclav @narfcake @RiotDemon @UncleVinny well that is positive. All the more reason we should have them.
Like some sort of socket that can pop out?
Never seen any. Right, @deathbynoodlez?
HOT POCKETS
@narfcake hey, you can snap up that particular merch right now!
@mediocrebot Silly bot…I believe you mean Slop Poppers. Bringing the likes of Stoolbend, Virginia flavors like Chipolte Clam!
@djslack I didn’t buy any last time. Why change?
Would this site be called meh.meh.com?
@lljk mehrchandise.com
/giphy yesssssssss
I fully support this idea as well! My absolute favorite shirt in the world, navy blue “I LIKE IRK”, has began to get a small hole or two in it and I’ll be damned if that t-shirt leaves my rotation any time soon.
P.S. website name sguggestion: www.mehhem.com
Reasons for that address:
(I know, not exactly the most amazing selling points but I stand by them!)
@sicc574 lol I was going to say it sounded like plehm then reached point 3
@sicc574 While it is not my absolute favorite shirt (I’m one of those people who does not have favorites), I will note that I wore it Thursday after work into Friday morning and enjoyed doing so.
Also, I very much like mehhem.com
Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but doesn’t not having a meh merchandise site make it that much more exclusive?
@ybmuG No.
@EvilTuna You changed your name.
@Barney Yeah, simplifying the name. Trying to get to the roots of my problems.
@EvilTuna That’s a good start.
Yes please! Just this week started into a several-month-long chemo regime that requires 4-5 day hospital stays for each infusion (one down, five to go!) and got lots of compliments on the meh shirt I wore upon check-in, but sadly my wardrobe is only two shirts deep at the moment, so not enough to stay fully meh-riffic through the whole stay.
@Turken I wish you the best.
@Turken Good luck!
@Turken I hope that your treatments are 100% successful and that you recover quickly from their horrible side effects.
@baqui63 @Barney @bdb @baqui63@Turken I don’t have a meh shirt…no wonder my chemo treatments are going so slow. I’ve got another 6 weeks at least the doc said.
@Turken Good luck with chemo and hope you suffer as few as possible of the potential side effects. FYI it is easier to prevent nausea than make it go away once you are suffering from it. Discovered that the hard way during chemo and then onc confirmed that. Was very glad to be done. You too @therealjrn.
@Kidsandliz @therealjrn @Turken So I think someone (meh) needs to send these two a couple meh t-shirts! @ThumperChick, you listening? I’m buying!
@Kidsandliz @Thumperchick @Turken aww, thanks @ybmuG! I don’t need the shirt TC, I’ve still got my kickstarter casemates.com shirt. Mehbe I’ll try that.
@Kidsandliz @therealjrn @Thumperchick @Turken That’s the thing about t-shirts, sometimes they just show up…
@Kidsandliz @therealjrn @Barney @bdb @baqui63 @ybmuG
Just wanted to say thanks to all y’all for the well wishes and advice. Will be interesting to see what the months ahead bring. Probably a lot more time for hanging around the forums here during hospital stays if only the WiFi speed there wasn’t so meh.
(bonus pic from chemo day 1)
@baqui63 @Barney @bdb @Kidsandliz @therealjrn @Turken @ybmuG sending positive vibes
While I’m a guy and very much subscribe to the “do/don’t/please don’t” gif above for myself, I must side with those who who want v-neck shirts for those of us who are equipped to… enhance… said v-neck.
I would certainly buy the occasional meh shirt for the girlfriend unit if they were of the type she wears (yes, @kidsandliz, I could use a sewing machine to “fix” this myself, but I have better things to do, like sleep).
@speediedelivery, you and I appear to be afflicted (blessed?) with very similar thinking patterns… my condolences. I do like the idea of the add-on item, perhaps a link on the standard order screen “Add meh branded crap to your order?” that opens a section, etc.
Though there is something to be said for what @ybmuG says (paraphrased: “rarity makes the crap more valuable”), I’m sure that some of us would not be dissuaded by making meh crap easier to get. This could be addressed by only listing one or two randomly selected items (from all the shit that is available) on the “meh branded crap order screen” I mention above. And this would give people the opportunity to play a new game that we could call “meh crap roulette” where one backs out of an order repeatedly to get different items on the randomly generated crap list.
@baqui63 The laughing icon did indicate I was joking when I said to modify a regular t-shirt yourself.
@baqui63 Most of the time blessing applies. I am weird and think differently than most but I am OK with it.
I have little creative or physical talent. I can organize stuff and remember oddball stuff. Terrible with faces but pretty good with names and other details.
