@carl669 Where haven't I taken Meh... I get a lot of comments at the farmer's markets... I haven't done any real traveling... but I'm taking it to Albany on Tuesday. Quick trip, not a lot of time to do much while there, but I'll be mehry!
@hallmike Did we formally decide how that works? Cause I need to make sure I know... Maybe someone can put it up on Youtube, and someone else can pin it to the top of the board for a month or so... maybe add it to the FAQ section...
Also if you're a former goat, should it be prefaced by a loud "BLEAT!" Inquiring minds NEED TO KNOW! ;)
@jaremelz@RedOak While I'm inclined to represent meh all of the time everywhere, I've resisted wearing statements of meh and Mediocre to political rallies for what I assume to be the same reasons.
Okay, so the Foamy the Squirrel 'double middle fingers' says a little more than just meh. At least the Fry's employee got the clue when she asked "can I help someone else first?" and I just tugged at my shirt as a response.
@sohmageek if you can find me audio of an octopus, then i'll see what i can do (which won't be much since i don't know what i'm doing). until then, here's the theme from Octopussy to tide you over:
I wore mine around Las Vegas January 2015. I posted a picture of me somewhere. Sadly noone approached me, creeping out my wife and doing the octopus thing.
@Barney but the cranberry was on top in my suitcase and i couldn't be bothered to dig down 2 more shirts. if it helps, that does mean i packed the purple one before i packed the cranberry one.
@carl669 OMG, I don't know if I'm just in some sort of weird mood, but that gif is the sweetest thing. I'm utterly sincere. I could cry. Maybe it's all of the violence and animosity these days.
@joelmw i agree. it just shows we're not innately prone to violence and as long as we don't screw up our kids too much, there's still hope for the world.
@katylava@carl669 With all due respect to our purple and beloved (and truly so) @Barney, Go Team Cranberry! The fruit, the juice, the feeling, the color, the shirt. I probably do like the blacks and greys most of all, but if it's gotta be a color, Cranberry FTW indeed.
I'd go for a nice olive though. It'd have to be a special one.
@Barney But doesn't my friendship count for even more in that I love you despite my not being a big fan of purple? I like purple more because of you; that should count for something too.
Hey, you can't have a proper rainbow with only one color.
I was wearing an all-black one in a Bass Tower elevator in FW, TX. And so was someone else! We talked about what superior beings we are, with those shirts and our excessive and compulsive shopping expertise.
@carl669 She was way cute but her co-worker got on elevator and so we shut up, never got username. Co-worker ultra straightlaced person not worthy of secret knowledge
@carl669 I guess i meant "cute" in contrast to me, because i'm a babyboomer who can remember the Twist and am therefore ancient. But both of us meh-shirt people in the elevator were female, and i didn't have that sort of interest.
She was just attractive and seemed fun. And then her co-worker got on the elevator, the sort who goes thru life w a stick you-know-where, and she rolled her eyes at me, and started pretending to pay serious attention to his complaints about the office paperclip policy or similar.
Missed connection craigslists seem poignant and sad, but also creepy. Even if one's intentions are honorable with regard to shopping and only shopping. So my fellow shopper will be forever unknown.
@f00l You're among friends here, it is okay to say that the co-worker goes through life with a giant fucking stick up her ass. Not only will we appreciate your brevity, but we'll enjoy the added benefit of the visual imagined.
@f00l that's cool. i was just curious which mehrican you might have met. mainly because we don't really see any 'hey i was traveling and ran across a fellow mehrican randomly' type posts. i think it would be awesome to coincidentally meet someone in real life that i've only interacted with through the forums.
I wear my mehs almost everywhere on the weekend--barring certain occasions when I very much don't want to be seen as conveying that attitude by those who don't know me (like at a Bernie rally). It helps that the shirts are soft and comfortable, but they pretty much work for every casual event and, let's be honest, they express what's on my mind.
For my annual trek to Colorado (primarily to see @christinewas), they were most of what I packed as far as t-shirts. She can testify that they were most of what I wore outside the house (and often inside as well; I have other super-comfy shirts for indoors), except when I wore a collared shirt. I wore the MehNFL shirt she gave me on Sundays.
I frequently get comments and compliments on them. I'm usually taken aback, because I forget what I'm wearing and that I'm making a statement. I've had some decent t-shirts over the years, but I'm not sure any that's more conversation-inducing than the mehs. Which is kind of ironic, if you think about it. But maybe Mediocre has anticipated and tapped into a coming mehvolution?
Speaking of work, for some reason I feel extra naughty when I wear my meh socks during the week. Partly the physical feel, partly the subversive message. It's like they're my special little secret, lacy underthings for my feet, a secret connection to a twisted underworld. And maybe I mutter "fuck" under my breath a little more than usual--you know, in keeping with the spirit.

You're starting to freak me out a little. It's only socks, right?
I mean, it's cool and all . . . I just may need some time . . . to . . .
@carl669 Bull Durham is one of my favorite movies. I used to have a huge crush on Susan Sarandon and she quotes Blake in that movie, in addition to having lots of passionate sex. But this bit (there's context) from the movie is what I was thinking of when I first commented about the socks. Still a great movie, btw. I mean still, after all of these years. Everything I've mentioned positively contributes to its greatness.
@joelmw Sarandon was awesome in White Palace. When she tells James Spader's character in the final scene, "Honey I got everything you need", well, let's just say that's enough to melt the ice on an Eskimo's mukluks.
EDIT: now that I've brought up mukluks, we must now have The Vestibules and BULBOUS BOUFFANT!!!!

I was there 2 weeks ago! Wore my Meh shirt around Phoenix but no one flashed me the octopus hand signal.
@hallmike Did we formally decide how that works? Cause I need to make sure I know... Maybe someone can put it up on Youtube, and someone else can pin it to the top of the board for a month or so... maybe add it to the FAQ section...
Also if you're a former goat, should it be prefaced by a loud "BLEAT!" Inquiring minds NEED TO KNOW! ;)
@hallmike i was actively looking for meh shirt and was totally ready to flash the octopus hand signal.
@sohmageek Legally we'd probably have to write "unofficial" on our hand before making anything remotely octopus shaped.
Thanks to someone sending me an oversized meh shirt, I take meh to bed regularly.
@jaremelz - the Mrs is so going to wonder why she's wearing a Meh t-shirt to bed tonight . . . Then she'll read this tomorrow and sucker punch me.
@jaremelz we strive to keep meh out of bed.
@jaremelz @RedOak While I'm inclined to represent meh all of the time everywhere, I've resisted wearing statements of meh and Mediocre to political rallies for what I assume to be the same reasons.
Ummm ... downstairs. Though I've worn my mediocre labs shirt a few times, I haven't worn any of the meh shirts outside my house.
@narfcake What? The rumor is you are a T-shirt professional. Surely that calls for an occasional meh.
@2many2no Just a t-shirt nerd. And I have other shirts that construe 'meh' already.
Okay, so the Foamy the Squirrel 'double middle fingers' says a little more than just meh. At least the Fry's employee got the clue when she asked "can I help someone else first?" and I just tugged at my shirt as a response.
@narfcake What the fuck? You need to spread the word, friend.
@joelmw I seem to have better luck spreading the word about catshirtswoot and to a lesser extent, TeeTurtle.
I wear them to the gym. People assume I'm commenting on my feelings about working out.
From Dallas to Beaver Creek, CO. No octopus signal flashed at me either...
I wear mine if im going somewhere or not that day. I was not informed of this octopus signal! Please explain!
@SillyEmily
https://meh.com/forum/topics/stalking-snapster#5419b8d15ac913f4056c02f6
If you need a video demonstration of it...
@SillyEmily
@carl669 can we get that with audio? ;)
@sohmageek if you can find me audio of an octopus, then i'll see what i can do (which won't be much since i don't know what i'm doing). until then, here's the theme from Octopussy to tide you over:
@carl669 I was more thinking of the goat bleat to get the attention of the other meh person.
@sohmageek even better! ok you video production people, turn the above into a video with goat bleat audio.
@carl669
Thanks, was too hungry to look for the gif on the forums.
I wore mine around Las Vegas January 2015. I posted a picture of me somewhere. Sadly noone approached me, creeping out my wife and doing the octopus thing.
@Bogie it's kind of a disappointing feeling, isn't it? i wore various meh shirts in california for 5 days. i didn't get a single octopus gesture.
@carl669 Team Cranberry FTW!
@katylava my loyalty is split. i also own a team purple shirt. sorry.
@carl669 yeah but did Purple make it to the top of a mountain?
@katylava excellent point. team cranberry is on top! (literally)
@carl669 @katylava Purple is over the top!
@Barney @katylava
can't we all just get along?
@carl669 Um, you started it! You should have been wearing your Purple shirt.
@Barney but the cranberry was on top in my suitcase and i couldn't be bothered to dig down 2 more shirts. if it helps, that does mean i packed the purple one before i packed the cranberry one.
@carl669 I was hoping that you would tell me that you meant to order two purple shirts and it was a mistake that you ended up with a cranberry one.
@Barney umm....sure. we'll go with that.
@carl669 OMG, I don't know if I'm just in some sort of weird mood, but that gif is the sweetest thing. I'm utterly sincere. I could cry. Maybe it's all of the violence and animosity these days.

I'd go for a nice olive though. It'd have to be a special one.
@joelmw What!?!? Go ahead, rip my heart out and stomp on it.
@Barney But doesn't my friendship count for even more in that I love you despite my not being a big fan of purple? I like purple more because of you; that should count for something too.
Hey, you can't have a proper rainbow with only one color.
Aww, I love you, too, @joelmw.
I was wearing an all-black one in a Bass Tower elevator in FW, TX. And so was someone else! We talked about what superior beings we are, with those shirts and our excessive and compulsive shopping expertise.
@f00l so, who was the someone else? are they on the forums?
@carl669
She was way cute but her co-worker got on elevator and so we shut up, never got username. Co-worker ultra straightlaced person not worthy of secret knowledge
@f00l i'm thinking this sounds like a craigslist missed connections story.
@carl669

think of the stories!

@joelmw
You're starting to freak me out a little. It's only socks, right?
I mean, it's cool and all . . . I just may need some time . . . to . . .
@Pavlov Socks. Just socks. I mean, socks and regular pants, a shirt, etc. What were you thinking, you perv?
@joelmw i... uhh... i don't where to go with this. except my eyes have been scarred for life.
@carl669 Bull Durham is one of my favorite movies. I used to have a huge crush on Susan Sarandon and she quotes Blake in that movie, in addition to having lots of passionate sex.

@carl669 So, yeah, when I wear my meh socks, I'm Nuke Laloosh trying see through my inner eye.
@joelmw holy cow! i haven't watched that movie in ages. think i'll have to dig out the dvd and watch it.
@joelmw Sarandon was awesome in White Palace. When she tells James Spader's character in the final scene, "Honey I got everything you need", well, let's just say that's enough to melt the ice on an Eskimo's mukluks.
EDIT: now that I've brought up mukluks, we must now have The Vestibules and BULBOUS BOUFFANT!!!!
@Pavlov great. now i have to work ga-LO-shes and mukluks into all my conversations today.
@Pavlov
1) That video made me happy several ways.
2) Speaking of creepy, have you been spying on me?
3) Sadly, I've never seen White Palace.
