@ELUNO
You and your matrix don’t credit your true love scorpion or tarantula or spider or snake w sentience?

Way to put your gf down. Is she going to sting you or bite you?

@f00l Well, she might try to constrict me now that you put her against me!

@ELUNO I misread that as ‘convict’. It sounded interesting.

@OldCatLady
Perhaps @ELUNO’s ladylove python will also have swallowed books of law in her time.

She might bring a constriction conviction and sentience sentence.

Ok that was painful. As Goat I must apologize.

@ELUNO

@CaptAmehrican That was VERY educational!

@CaptAmehrican
That was way better that I could have dreamed.

Note to @anyone

@BillLehecka was goated in March 2015.

He responded by keeping a daily Goat journal which a few people hated for some reason or other (haters haters). Most liked it. I liked it.

@BillLehecka basically had more fun being a Letterman fan than anyone else. Plus other stuff.

These all are labeled “Goat Day n”

Where n is an integer between 1 and 31, yes hello high school.

Here is a link to the first one

You can find the rest with this search

Scroll thru the chaff and look for the numbered Goat Days by @BillLehecka.

@f00l Of course I got one. I’m 8 of 13 in Fukus/Fukos.

Everything is a pattern. Learn the pattern and dominate.

@BillLehecka
Not on shitty wifi and a cell phone. Maybe during the Trump Empire era.

I don’t even want to make that joke.

@f00l I bought last night’s fuko on my home WiFi connection on my phone, so take that how you will.

@BillLehecka
Got one once on note 4 LTE.

My one and only.

And I don’t remember what was in it.

@BillLehecka @f00l

I did the same thing, but for this morning’s fuko (the midnight one).

@BillLehecka
Now that Letterman’s retired to be Bushy Man, has anything filled the void?

@f00l Tie-ing off the pipe sounds so painful. Remind me to do that if my last almost-a-bf that ghosted me comes back looking for a slam bam, thank you ma’am.

@evgrosen

@compunaut ADORE. Of course, he’s dead. Like all my dreams and aspirations.

@evgrosen
If Bowie were alive, all his dreams and aspirations would not be dead.

Perhaps let yours breathe a bit?

@katylava

I have a few solutions which nobody has suggested yet this time around.

They range from nearly impossible to You’ve got to be kidding me. That’s never going to happen. I’m not even sure how something like that could be suggested.

@katylava I think the kids say nowadays “GIT GUD.” Or something.

For instance: let’s take the NES Classic as a non-Meh example. Highly popular. Limited supply. It crashed Amazon’s servers when they released them at 5pm ET 11/11. People were complaining that Amazon’s servers were shit. AMAZON.

It’s like these folks don’t understand simple economics, let alone Network Architecture.

We need charts and graphs. And even then people won’t get it.

@katylava I gotta say, this was one of the smoothest fukos I have experienced here. Especially with less than half the available inventory of most. You and Shawn deserve a cookie. I’ll make you a batch- what kind do you like?

@sammydog01 It’s usually around 500 fukus/fukos, although last time they added extra because they were trying out their (stupid) pause thingy.

I like chocolate chip cookies, and oatmeal raisin cookies, and peanut butter cookies, and ranger cookies, and no-bake cookies, and snickerdoodle cookies, and frosted Christmas sugar cookies, and…

@Barney Yes, but it was only 200 at midnight instead of the usual 500 with probably just as many people trying to buy. And I have to look up ranger cookies, but I have to veto peanut butter. It just isn’t cookie compatible.

@sammydog01 Yeah, I was talking about total number. And I still hate this pause idea.

@Barney

@Barney
I like your thoughts about cookie v much. Too much.

Spares?

@f00l Well, I figger if @sammydog01’s making cookies for the Meh staff, she can make some for the rest of us. Right?

@sammydog01 cookies!!!

i like snicker doodles. not sure what @shawn and @harrison like.

@Barney You can have some cookies too but you have to drive to Texas to get them.

@katylava Good choice! I’ll look for a recipe.

@katylava you’ll get over it the 500th time you read “my cousin’s buddy is a webmaster and he says you should run a PHP load-balancer”

You have no choice but to embrace the complaints because without them it means nobody cares.

@katylava Nah, didn’t you know it’s as easy as buying a 6-pack of servers and plugging them in?

@katylava

http://shirt.woot.com/offers/changing-my-browser-settings-makes-me-hungry

@sammydog01 No need to look Ranger Cookies up. Here’s the recipe:

@Shrdlu Those sound really good! Maybe I’ll make them too. It’s been a while since I have made cookies.

@Shrdlu @sammiedog01 We made lots of Ranger Cookies at the Ronald McDonald House. We used the basic ingredients in Shrdlu’s recipe but would switch out, depending on what we had on hand, the corn flakes for rice crispies, or sometimes we’d add coconut. We never had dates, so we’d use raisins, but a lot of people do not like raisins (or coconut), so we’d make them with choc. chips or even plain. Each batch was different. They are a lot of fun to make and kids love them.

@katylava People have suggestions over on https://meh.com/forum/topics/drunk-thoughts. Some of them involve THC/CBD ratios.

@shawn Your PHP load-balancer comment just made me choke on my food. While I now need to change my shirt, it was worth it.

@katylava C’mon, you know technological problems are easy to solve. For example, have you tried routing the quantum phase particle flow through the neutrino matrix flux regulator in the starboard nacelle?

@Starblind dude. are you trying to get everyone killed?? everyone that’s worked with quantum particle flow knows you need to route that shit through a graphene decoupler before hitting the proverbial flux regulator’s ass.

were you born in a barn or something?

@carl669 @starblind can’t @katylava just use a match and a little gas if she wants the big bang instead of all this fancy smancy shit?

@carl669
Technically, born in a quantum barn.

@shawn @katylave @harrison I feel for you guys with the nonsense people expect of product releases like this. I don’t know what it is that causes people to fundamentally lack a grasp for why it’s impossible to accurately assess the load for things like this in advance. It baffles me because they understand concepts like traffic jams and not going out to shop on Black Friday but they seem to lack the capacity to translate these concepts to the digital world, it’s like the instant electronics get involved things are supposed to be magic. Kudos to all of you for putting up with it, I don’t think I’d have the patience for it! Keep doing what you’re doing, I think you guys are top notch!

@jbartus
/giphy eddie haskell you look nice mrs. cleaver

@Barney I’m happily single so I guess I screwed up and went and let my decency show!

@Shrdlu @Barney I made ranger cookies with dates and nuts and ranger cookies with chocolate chips. Neither came out very well. Maybe I messed up. I guess snickerdoodles will have to do.

@sammydog01 Sorry. I guess there’s always peanut butter…

@Barney I have a batch of Butterfinger cookies in the oven now. It’s harder to go wrong with candy. Never peanut butter though. Never.

@SColburn Well @katylava and crew could send dead ladybugs, one each in an envelope to the losers who didn’t get one as a consolation prize… Oh wait it was @hollboll who was sent the ladybugs if another thread is to be believed… well then they could get some of that dirt that came from the cards against humanity holiday hole that meh donated to and put a grain of dirt in each envelope as the participation loser’s prize.

@Kidsandliz

There was an issue with the ladybug delivery.

@AttyVette Needs a TL;DR
jk. Hope you’re recovering well from the surgery - I know the payment is going to sting

@AttyVette Who said that Fuku/Fuko buying is supposed to be fair? Would you be want to limit Fuko buying if you had been able to purchase every one of them, most of them, some of them? I really don’t think so.

Snagging a Fuko involves a little planning (sometimes) and a lot of luck. A LOT OF LUCK. I see people with fast internets, who do not get one. People who are close to the servers, who do not get one. People who just happen to look at their phone at the right time and THEY get one. It’s luck. Good luck, bad luck, whatever kind of luck.

And it’s fun trying to chase one down. You really want to take this away from us?

@Barney like I said not everyone would like my suggestion – I just know that there are some people here that would like to have gotten one sometime – life’s not fair heck who doesn’t know that but sometimes the underdog should win ( btw I am not saying I’m the underdog ) Also I am one of the “us” you are talking about but I don’t see the fun in chasing ithse bags down but rather in actually receiving one – that’s just me though.

Anyways, I have no influence on anyone here so don’t get upset at my suggestion . And btw , I truly would like others to get one sometime-- given some of my great gifts away actually to those that didn’t have them and needed or wanted them.

@compunaut that’s an understatement:( thanks for caring and Merry Christmas to you and yours

@AttyVette I noticed you didn’t make this suggestion anytime after you got a fuku/fuko. And what criteria are you using to determine who is an underdog?

@Barney the underdog would be a person who never got one - sorry if you were offended at my suggestion that all it was an idea , a thought, a suggestion – anyways have a Merry Christmas

@Barney

Did your “friend” get fuko 13?

Also, was a check-in done to see who still has a perfect streak?

@PlacidPenguin Yes. @whistlingwilly still has a perfect streak. I’m not sure about @cengland0.

@Barney Yes, still in the game.

@cengland0 Good!

@Barney @attyvette @placidpenguin Yea this is not right, ive been here since day 0. I work hard to check it every single night. I get what your saying but if you want it, put in work. It’ll come.

@whistlingwilly Hey, I’m on your side and I’m glad to see at least a couple of people with perfect records.

@whistlingwilly

I’m not complaining either.

(@Barney good thing I refreshed a different tab, otherwise I’d have had to edit my post several times. Still looking for a baker would willingly bake a cake without knowing any billing/delivery information.)

@PlacidPenguin
Cash.

@Barney
Who has perfect fuko streaks?

@f00l The only two that I know of are @whistlingwilly and @cengland0. There are probably others. Maybe?

@Barney I say as long as they aren’t cheating (which I’m pretty sure they aren’t)
/giphy high five

@sammydog01 What do you consider cheating?

@cengland0 are you still flawless? I think its just you and i.

@whistlingwilly Yes, got them all including the kickstarter.

@cengland0 Any fancy computer stuff I don’t know about.

@sammydog01 I can guarantee you that I’m not cheating. I’m lucky to find the on button to my computer.

@Barney

Except you’ve made less purchases than me. Of course you’re not cheating.

@PlacidPenguin Uh, you do realize that I purchase from another account?

@Barney

I blame myself that I don’t think you’ve blamed me enough yet this month.

???

Can’t I - or can’t something - go wrong or let you down?

@f00l But I like you…

@Barney

You actually buy stuff? So your “friend” is you?

@PlacidPenguin
/giphy facepalm

@Barney

You could unblame me then

/giphy "purple reign"

@f00l Unblame? Nah, that’s what @narfcake does. I’m just gonna sit back and watch you auger yourself into the ground this month. After all, what are friends for?

@Barney

If @f00l thought that being goat was hard, the month is still young.

MWAHAHAHA

@PlacidPenguin
@Barney

@f00l

I’m busy trying to process this revelation. I’ll need a couple of minutes.

@PlacidPenguin

Revelation?
That @Barney purchases under another account?

or that I steal Giphys?

@sammydog01 I use a laptop with wifi and a bluetooth mouse. I set an alarm on my phone to go off a couple minutes before midnight. I make sure I’m signed in and ready to go. I then wait for midnight.

I am on the east coast so it is late for me. I get up at 3:55am to begin working. I have no sympathy for other east coast whiners.

@f00l

That @Barney purchases under a different account. I legitimately didn’t realize that she uses an alt account.

I just thought she liked mentioning that her “friend” has been streaking perfectly.

Although, it has confused me as to why “friend” has been put in quotation marks.

@PlacidPenguin My “friend” did not get the April Fools Day Fuko, so her perfect streak ended there. However, she is working on a new perfect streak.

@cengland0 That’s about the same for me, except I have a desktop so I use my ipad or phone. I’m east coast too and set an alarm. Although I probably won’t do that for a couple of weeks.

@sammydog01
I also set an alarm. And then I ignore the alarm.

Honestly, bitching about not getting one is almost as fun as getting one.

Minus the gloat pleasure of course.

I deserve zero sympathy even when I whine to the ends of the universe. (Unless I actually tried. That’s different.)

/giphy gloat

@kc5rbq ugh. now i want a hot dog.

@AttyVette

I’m just curious how Meh could make it fair for everybody.

If you look at the stats for Fuku and Fuko (thanks @lichme), you’ll see that the most sold at one time was 1129, which is only a smidgen over 1% of the 88390 page views that day.

Even if they made it 1 per year for people, most people would never get one.

If you’d like to help, maybe you could get me a BOC. Still never gotten one (even with the limitations in place)…

I’m not trying to criticize your idea, but I’m just suggesting that there’s no simple and logical business plan to solve this issue.

@PlacidPenguin I agree – I appreciate your discourse and kind response to my post. There is no easy answer so that is why I said what I proposed as just a suggestion…thinking outside the box that’s all! I realize life isn’t fair so I don’t think there is a solution or totally " fair" answer. What is fair to you, may or may not be fair to me and vice versa.

My suggestion wasn’t meant to make members angry but if people want to be angry, so be it as I’ll understand. We are all only responsible for how we react to one another but that doesn’t mean we will agree on one thing or anything.

@AttyVette

I’m more curious than anything.

/@narfcake curious cat T-shirt.

^
Fun command. It searches @narfcake’s knowledge of catshirts for a relevant T-shirt.

@PlacidPenguin I keep having a problem with that command …I get an error each time and the webpage reloads over and over…oh well…“cat” help it

@shawn
@Katylava

@PlacidPenguin mentioned:

/@narfcake curious cat T-shirt.

^
Fun command. It searches @narfcake’s knowledge of catshirts for a relevant T-shirt.

Can you troubleshoot this “/” command? We need this to work in case @narfcake is asleep or has some other pointless excuse for being slow to respond.

@PlacidPenguin If you haven’t gotten a BOC you’re not trying too hard.

@sammydog01

You sound just like @narfcake. Except now that you said that, I’m starting to think it’s a legitimate point.

@sammydog01

Never gotten a BOC. Used to try hard. The Amazon came. I tapered.

Now I fail to get BOC’s by never visiting or thinking about the site.

You’d think they’d work out a way to send me one anyway.

@f00l

Would you like a BOJ? (Not to be confused with BOC.)

@PlacidPenguin
Bag O’ Junk?

Hmmmm.
https://www.google.com/search?q=boj&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Why yes, I would like a Bank Of Japan very much.

@f00l

Although I guess I could wait until the next exChange to get rid of some of this junk.

Unless of course, @mfladd participates, in which case, @mfladd gets precedence.

@PlacidPenguin
Didn’t realize the junk was that repulsive. Saving specially for @mfladd? Then he really needs it.

@PlacidPenguin @f00l Both of you get blames for being impatient.

Anyway:

http://shirt.woot.com/offers/curiosity

@narfcake

Wouldn’t that require me to be goat? Seeing as how that hasn’t happened yet, I can’t take any blame.

@f00l
I can’t decide if the /@narfcake command should be done by @shawn or @katylava
@Shawn is totally unaffected by the cursing going on post-fuko, so it seems like he should do it.

On the other hand, @katylava has hinted that she’s bored. Also, @shawn referred to me as a noise, and that deserves credit.

Wouldn’t that require me to be goat? Seeing as how that hasn’t happened yet, I can’t take any blame.

You know that may just backfire on you, @PlacidPenguin.

A /catshirtswoot command probably requires better tagging from shirt.woot first. Since it’s probably not a high priority for the devs there, it may be a while before such a command is usable here.

@narfcake

Why would we need better tagging? We have you.

You’re pretty much an automated script when it comes to cat shirts.
(Different kind of script than @galmaegi)

@narfcake
You’re not an badly written auto-script that’s laggy and has an attitude sometimes?

How can you tell?

@f00l

sometimes

Pfft.

/@narfcake smirking cat T-shirt.

@AttyVette I think your problem is that you are checking at 12 PM. The product changes at 12 AM.

@darksaber99999 lol thanks for catching my incorrect posting … I live in CST time zone so actually 11 p.m. Is when I check each night --so it was a mistake of stating p.m. For 12 est

@Barney

If it was up to me, Meh support would send support emails before the item was even bought. This way they would already have the item and I could have the refund already. Or now realistically, they’d send a replacement.
