No new videos for 6 weeks - Where's Matthew?
31Is he okay? @Matthew we (or at least I…) miss you, your videos, and your humor. Wanted to make sure you’re okay? Did I miss anything about a hurricane or anything like that? There hasn’t been a new video upload since Casemates was launched in January. You doing okay? Are the videos a thing of the past? We’re 60 days into 2018 and we’ve only had 3 new videos.

Hope he’s ok.
Shh, you’ll wake him!

@Thumperchick Does Matthew write the daily emails? Seems like his sense of humor.
@sammydog01 There’s a rotation of folks writing emails.
Maybe getting ready for Peeps season?
I was wondering the same myself…Matthew is the heart and soul of Meh (as he was Woot’s) and the one who channels the great and powerful Irk. I’ve noticed a number of the reasons I’ve stayed with Meh moving on (Holly, this means you) and my interest has been waning as this has been happening. Much of the esprit de corps; exploding speaker docks, dockwood derby, and other insanities have become fewer and farther between…does this mean a major change in policy? Is the boss losing his interest in deal a day…the VMP program slinking off into the sunset, Matthew going to contractor status (or so it seems), Toon writing from afar…does this portend the end of the Meh as we knew it?
in other words, WTF?
@margot launch budget exhausted.
@margot skemmis is still doing very good work (as always)
@slydon We love @skemmehs too. Get him to do a video for us?
@sammydog01 you’ve reminded me how long it’s been since I went to @matthew’s house. Maybe next time we’re all three in the same place…
Time for meh to hire me!

If @Matthew isn’t here, then all you’ve got left is a site selling one worthless piece of crap per day… who’d ever consider coming back?

I have been saving up packages of Peeps to send to @Matthew; please tell me where he is!
/giphy peeps
I’m here!
Between some vacation time and some burnout, I’ve been leaning hard on reruns in 2018, sorry.
How much good the videos do for Meh has always been a hard question to answer. I like making them, so I guess I am glad to see my first-quarter slack-off in that department did not go unnoticed! I will end the dry spell soon.
Meanwhile I’ve been working on other projects, frinstance writing some of the product descriptions. See if you can tell which ones! (Hint: skemmis is the writer capable of showing restraint with semicolons.)
Please do not send Peeps.
Also, as a lifelong validation seeker, I very much appreciate the nice things said about me in this thread, thanks
@matthew YAY! HE’S ALIVE! THIS CALLS FOR US TO SEND MOAR PEEPS!
@matthew your vids are essential tools for driving my wife nuts at 12:15 am. Please don’t stop.
@matthew hopefully the big wigs understand the videos won’t yield any traditional ROI stats.
@matthew @medz
@matthew You should do a daily video about some mundane part of your life like switching to solar wind power or axe handle reviews. I’d watch that. Parking Lot Politics! You could get people’s views in as much time it takes to walk from their cars to the employee entrance.
@matthew Martian smartwatch with bonus puking cat clip?
@matthew I really wasn’t exaggerating as to your being 80% or so the reason I “tune in” to Meh each evening…I look at what passes for comedic content on Woot and see monkey dolls with talk balloons spouting lines that make Nancy and Kathy look like Ibsen.
Blort: What are you drinking?
Mort: Milk.
Blort: Why are you drinking milk from a coffee cup?
Mort: I like my coffee light.
(Cue laugh track)
Look at retail history:
Sears - No dentally challenged sock puppet - Just about gone.
Radio Shack - No demented singing cowboy - flailing in the wind.
Woolworths - Lack of banana/chair song - gone.
Blockbuster - Missing depressive chicken comic - Netflucked.
USA - No Irk - Donald Trump becomes President.
Come Back!
I thought the working theory was rehab…
They tried to make me go. I declined, three times.
@matthew everyone knows rehab is for quitters!
@matthew Does your father believe you don’t have a problem?
@matthew - No, No, No!
@matthew I thought you were working on “Meh, the Musical!”
/giphy meh singing
Glad to see matthew is still here, and I think the use of that other Matt as the topic picture is hysterical. Where is he indeed!
