Meh Mystery Box
27On Wednesday, a mystery box from Carrollton appeared in my Fed Ex tracking with an intriguing reference number:
Hmmm. I haven’t ordered anything from Meh in a while, so what could it be? A secret Fuko? Knowing that Fed Ex tracking details can be wildly inaccurate, the possibilities were endless. It could be a new TV, or it could be a restraining order. There was nothing to do but wait. Against all odds, it arrived a day early.
OK, so it’s not a TV. It could still be a new tablet, drone, or Leakfrogs. Only one way to find out.
Oh look, a note from @Woodhouse:
Oh, that’s sweet, though I know I’ve never won any of the official Meh contests. I suck at Photoshop, I’ve never asked Irk, and none of my Mad Ape Den submissions were deemed worthy. Still, I never look a gift goat in the mouth, and at least it’s not a speaker dock, so I’m already a winner. So let’s dig in and see what the Meh gods have gifted me.
Damn you @Woodhouse!
Seriously, though, thanks for the Meh sticker!

Soooo jealous of that meh sticker.
/giphy congrats!
@ConAndLibrarian I have an extra if you want it.
@ACraigL Thanks, but one of my coworkers just brought me one this morning. Thanks for the offer though!
@ConAndLibrarian It’s raining Meh. Hallelujah.
Nice! You can never have too many speaker docks. Right @sohmageek?
Did you by any chance enter a contest on Meh’s Facebook page? That’s how I recently won one of these thingies.
@heartny Winning is awesome!
@sammydog01 Yes, winning is quite awesome. And incredibly surprising. I may have to forgo getting an “L” tattoo on my forehead.
Maybe cuz you were the Easter bunny?
@RiotDemon Maybe they’re hoping for another box of goodies?
You had a chance to make the title of your post “Mehstery Box,” and you didn’t take it. C-
Way to go. Life should be full of surprises, good ones that is. Mine always seem to be a car accident, flat tire or getting served papers. (only once)
I’d be a little worried if mine was signed “Love” though. LOL

@funco49 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nice Meh!
Well, whomever set up this giveaway had you on the list to receive something. I just send stuff to people who’s names are on a spreadsheet.
Glad it made it safely!
@woodhouse You missed the line in the spreadsheet that @narfcake is owed a catshirt. I blame
@cranky1950@snapster for that omission.(I was the
basisblame for an Ask Irk and two Glen segments, however.)@narfcake Remember, I’m not the spreadsheet CONTENT guy, just the spreadsheet-filling-in-when-complete guy.
@woodhouse
I may need to pay you off to ensure that @denboy doesn’t try getting revenge against me…
@PlacidPenguin there was a ticking box on my desk last week that I tagged as return to sender. Maybe that was you?
@denboy
Nothing which I have sent has ticked.
Heads up though - A box was just ordered today. I dunno if it will have the suite number on it, so I hope you still get it.
It’s a bit more exciting than the box which you got last week.
@woodhouse
Does the magical spreadsheet include Goat Prizes for Goats Emeritus who have not yet received their Goat Prize?
@f00l I still haven’t received mine, so don’t hold your breath.
@woodhouse “Whoever,” not “whomever.” When you’re trying to decide between them, try substituting “I” or “she” for “who” and “me” or “her” for “whom.” If you sound like bizarro Superman you’re using “whom” incorrectly. If you sound like a Rastafarian you’re using “who” incorrectly.
Well, now I have to remove @SSteve from the list for trying to give me a grammar lesson.
@f00l I have nothing more to announce at this time.
@woodhouse
So I won’t be getting a speaker dock? Cool!
@SSteve /giphy you get nothing
@woodhouse definitive proof i can’t forum ^
@woodhouse
Slash commands need to be on new lines.
Using /slash commands, as told by @shawn.
@woodhouse I promise to never correct your grammar as long as you sneak my name onto that list.
@cinoclav You speaker dock fanatics are coming out of the woodworks!
@woodhouse I was actually hoping for something better than a speaker dock.
@cinoclav You speaker dock truthers are coming out of the woodworks!
@PlacidPenguin

@SSteve said:
Welcome to Rastafaria.
It’s s good place.
/giphy Rasta man
@SSteve
@Kidsandliz
/giphy "Who dat?"
@Kidsandliz I wear that badge with pride.
I’m on the list! Yay!
I would thank @woodhouse but I guess I’m supposed to thank whoever made the spreadsheet. Thanks spreadsheet person! You made my day! (Plus I guess @woodhouse doesn’t love me as much as @Trillian.)
@sammydog01
I wonder if @sohmageek is on the list.
@sammydog01 I think I only put “love” on @trillian 's because I thought it’d be weird if they all said that.
@sammydog01 Also, hopefully y’all can read my terrible-ass handwriting.
@woodhouse Your writing is a lot more legible than what I’m used to!
@woodhouse “Desperate” is the word you were looking for.
@woodhouse
Weird. Perhaps.
Or Ambitious
/giphy "ambitious love"
Just when I thought I was out –
Yay, I got a Meh sticker, too! Oh… and a speaker dock.
(Don’t remember any contest and sorry I have no pix to share.) Thanks Meh and @woodhouse!
@sammydog01
@woodhouse doesn’t love me either.
@Barney You will never get away
@Barney I honestly have no idea what contest this was. You were on our spreadsheet to get a speaker dock, probably done by Holly. It got the docks off of my desk, so win-win!
@speediedelivery Aww…
@Barney
How about drawing a picture?
@PlacidPenguin Sorry, my fine feathered friend, not today.
@Barney Yay, we’re winners of some sort! I’ll be watching the bears with you tonight.
@woodhouse In that case, Thanks @hollboll! Thanks too, woodhouse, for putting it in the box with a nice note and sticker. And I had no problem reading it.
@Barney
How about tomorrow?
@PlacidPenguin I have to mow the yard.
@Barney
Excuses excuses.
/giphy "da bears"
Wha?!? Just when I thought I had seen the last of the speaker docks . . .
Way to brighten a person’s day, @woodhouse and mysterious spreadsheet!
When you’ve finished raining good will on mehtizens, you’ll destroy the list, right? Or just mark it as confidential? That seems to work well.
Thank you thank you thank you.
@KDemo Nice speaker dock!
I, too, received a speaker dock – will post my lovely @woodhouse
message later. 
No love for me though!!
@woodhouse
Great, because you showed favoritism, now you’re making people feel sad.
@PlacidPenguin Don’t tempt me, I’ll send you a love note and something I can dig up from the corners of the office.
I love you @mikibell
(Not that way you perverts.)
@sammydog01 awwww someone loves me! Kids are home tomorrow, hopefully with a week’s worth of hugs!
@woodhouse …
@mikibell I think I did yours last so spelling was hard haha
@woodhouse do it do it do it (eg @placidpenguin)… and while you are at it add me to the speaker doc spreadsheet list as I won one with the smash a speaker doc how many pieces was it smashed into contest and was a good mom and gave it to my kid for christmas that same year (perhaps 2015?). So sad that I didn’t keep it for myself…
@Kidsandliz I can send you mine…we dont have i-stuff in our house…we are android owners.
@mikibell Seriously? That would be cool. Thanks! Email me either at my user name yahoo or mehricanexchange6@yahoo.com Likely I can find something to send you in return (we can discuss that there).
This is fantastic.
