I’m curious… for those that don’t have VMP, do you pay shipping for each item you buy in a Mehrathon? Or is it like Woot and you only pay one shipping charge for the day?
@meh I had a woot-purchased refurb shark steam mop violently fail. Too much pressure (I guess) and something popped followed by the rapid release of very hot steam. Good times.
Admittedly, I know nothing, but I find it hard to believe they’d do one over the weekend. Something will go wrong (it always does) so it makes sense they’d go during the work week when all hands are on deck.
Apart from those on specific dates such as launch anniversary or April 1, doing one on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday also leaves out practitioners of some religious traditions.
@Stumpy91@thismyusername I always figured Meh would be better represented by a hit and miss engine, or maybe two, and more or less mobile since they moved:
@narfcake Looks like that was a double sided disk used in a single-side drive from the paper-hole-punched write-enable notch. A popular mod when floppy disks were $4-5 apiece…
I bet if Meh buyers do some digging they can find us some of the real notch cutters that were made for this task. I mean, think how many people are still out there unaware that they can double their floppy drive storage on the cheap?
@duodec We probably all used both sides of a single sided disk but it wasn’t recommended. The magnetic material wasn’t applied or tested on the back side of the disk and it turns backwards when you flip them upside down. That takes the dust out of the collectors and puts them back on the disk.
It was clearly a way to save a little money and I’ve never had one go bad because of that.
I’m just going to go ahead and get ahead of this one.
I’m so sorry the Meh-rathon is on an inconvenient day.
I’m so sorry the Meh-rathon didn’t happen when you thought it would.
/double sorry goat.
Oh shit.
I really hope not.
@RiotDemon Friday night is my favorite rollover so I’ll be there anyway. But not all night again. Once was enough.
@sammydog01 can you imagine… A stocking stuffer Saturday mehrathon?
@RiotDemon Yep- clean out the warehouse time.
YEEEEEEEES!
So let me get this straight…Irk & Glen are REAL?? I thought they were just puppets, but now I see them typing emails & such…
@tohar1 that looks like a @mfladd gif!
@mikibell @mfladd is jenna marbles? mind BLOWN.
@meh hmmmm …
@meh i I love Jenna Marbles LOL
My 2nd cousin’s boss (who knows a guy who works in the meh warehouse) says it’ll be next week for sure. Not this weekend.
@medz That’s even worse. Shit.
@sammydog01 I’m sorry.
@medz Mmmm… Tuesday night?
I’m curious… for those that don’t have VMP, do you pay shipping for each item you buy in a Mehrathon? Or is it like Woot and you only pay one shipping charge for the day?
@ruouttaurmind I think it’s every item! Like the old woot-offs, always buy 3 to maximize shipping savings.
@ruouttaurmind I need this mehraton to justify all these months paying for VMP and not getting anything!
it’d be cool if there was a well priced roomba that’s not completely broken/DOA/missing parts.
@meh This is meh.com
Expect trash, receive trash, but every once in a while, it will be shiny trash.
@ELUNO yeah, i know, that’s why it’s just a K by my name now. and why i still have pieces to 3 different shark steam mops in my garage.
@meh I had a woot-purchased refurb shark steam mop violently fail. Too much pressure (I guess) and something popped followed by the rapid release of very hot steam. Good times.
@medz Sounds like burning fun!
Admittedly, I know nothing, but I find it hard to believe they’d do one over the weekend. Something will go wrong (it always does) so it makes sense they’d go during the work week when all hands are on deck.
But as I said, I’m like Jon Snow in this regard.

@f00l Doing one on M-F leaves out many people who have jobs
@Kidsandliz What day should they do it? Some people work on weekends and you’d leave out those people.
@cengland0 vote? They know how to make polls.
My spending money already went to TeeTurtle, Woot, and the County Assessor’s for my property tax bill.
I gotta work tomorrow to get all the shit people bought last weekend to them. Sunday would be a better day
/giphy lame as
true or not, there may be a fuko before 1 AM EST… I know I’m going to presume that its true because nothing lost if it isn’t.
@baqui63 other than staying up that late for nothing…
@baqui63 Or at least stocking stuffer Saturday.
@sammydog01 Alas, we got Super Shitty Saturday.
@Kidsandliz er… 1 AM EST is early.
It’s just so responsive… so snappy… so un-meh right now.
@thismyusername I have that boiler/steam engine and some of the accessories from my youth. Probably 50 years old.
@Stumpy91 @thismyusername I always figured Meh would be better represented by a hit and miss engine, or maybe two, and more or less mobile since they moved:
Liaaaaars!
/giphy f no
Looks like they confirmed the day in today’s email. Hold on to your butts!

@ACraigL
Signs point to yes
/image I’ll believe it when I see it
/8ball Does meh like fucking with us?
@ACraigL confirmed for when? I delete those without reading them
I bought these last time for an Apple phone. They don’t work.
@smlute you bought a mehrathon?
DAMN IT, WHY ALWAYS A MONDAY?!
Some of us are too self-conscious to quit our job over this.
@mossygreen Today is

@duodec Hah!
Back in the days, I drilled 3.5" 720k floppies so they would format as 1.44mb too.

@narfcake
Takes me back to 1st Saturday flea markets. Long before a local Frys.

Mentioned again in today’s email:
@cengland0 You know they will do it on Tuesday or something just to screw with us…
@cengland0 I just got that, Powertab Hunter
I’m just going to go ahead and get ahead of this one.
I’m so sorry the Meh-rathon is on an inconvenient day.
I’m so sorry the Meh-rathon didn’t happen when you thought it would.
