Meh at CES 2017
21I wore my Thanksgiving Meh shit at CES today, got a compliment from someone at an exhibit, poor souls never got a fuku/fuko they seemed a little jealous that I’ve landed a few, didn’t tell them I was Dec 2015 goat, oh well.
Edits because I’m in Vegas and have had a beer…or so.

Me too. Well a beer or two and a whiskey or two.
What’s the secret phrase when a meh shirt (or shit) is spotted in the wild?
@pitamuffin - The official signal of meh solidarity is the breakfast octopus hand gesture.
@KDemo
/giphy octopus fisting
@pitamuffin I think this is the accepted greeting
@medz What exactly is this gif showing? Trying not to imagine the worst.
@bdb the breakfast octopus
@bdb Seems to be a person trying to eat an octopus and the octopus is taking exception to it.
@medz That hand gesture looks more like someone’s trying to do Cthulhu.
@medz
Im no vegetarian, but if you try to eat something while its still alive, you deserve whatever it does to you.
I really miss Winter CES. I worked a block from the convention center and had connections that got me a pass every year in the late 1980s. Best memory was Lord British of Ultima fame having a live swordfight re-enactment in front of their booth.
But it was then also a great place for deals until they blocked sales off the floor (got a kicking car stereo and speakers, and some nice home stereo components on the last day one year).
I was hoping this was a post about meh unveiling some new speaker docks or perhaps wifi enabled knives at CES.
@pfarro1 I would expect it to be a bluetooth speakerdock, with built in desk lamp, spring-assist knife blade, and 1800mAh battery backup with a single 1A USB port.
@ciabelle You forgot the water bottle and detachable vacuum.
@pfarro1 Make your guesses about what new product will eventually end up here!
@Kidsandliz Don’t. Joke. Someone will try it.
Maybe not the vacuum but it might just be a vacuum bottle (to keep it from sweating on the electronics at least).
@Pixy too funny
@Pixy Next Bottle out of stock at Amazon. “We don’t know when or if…”
@Barc777 you can buy it direct off their website. Only 99.99. Their slogan should be “solving problems you never knew you had”
@pfarro1 I saw a “smart fork” at CES four years ago… https://www.woot.com/blog/post/ces-2013-kickstart-my-gadget-inventors-turn-to-crowdfunding
@JasonToon like I need a fork to tell me I eat delicious and terribly unhealthy food.
Oh, man, this brings back memories of those Woot days when we’d fan out and cover all the weird and ridiculous technological and cultural oddities CES puts on display.
Thank God THAT’S over.
@JasonToon Not as much fun now- it’s just bluetooth & internet in every device ever (it makes for fun, if a bit depressing reading on @internetofshit’s twitter feed).
@JasonToon I bet you miss the nacho cheese for breakfast though.
