@kjady Wow, yeah! This deserves it more than anything I’ve ever seen here before! @Extramedium, @Thumperchick - do you know why the Meh button’s missing?!
@kjady It was there for me, and apparently also for @cinoclav - see the post below for the icon. So why is it there for some of us but not you? (For info, I’m on Chrome/computer, not a phone, if that makes a difference.)
@rockblossom@sdansmith I put up pulleys and ran colored ropes over to a column. Each feeder is up high by the porch ceiling except when we lower them to refill them.
It took a few iterations to get right. The pulleys have to be very close to the ceiling so animals can’t run along the top of the ropes. A raccoon taught us that. Squirrels can leap nearly horizontally a surprising distance. The feeders should not be within leaping range of a downspout. Ropes stretch over time. I needed to shorten one of them.
I bought red, yellow, and green nylon cord to make it easier to figure out which rope goes to which feeder.
In retrospect, rather than scaring away the tightrope walking raccoon, and running the ropes higher, I should have set up a camera.
@goffstock my neighbor as a kid did this with the trees in the middle of the cul-de-sac. He cut off all the branches so no more climbing, made these faces but as people on all the trees, and also added faces to his trees.
My cat would walk in his house when I was over and wait with me. The dog barked at only him her entire life. It didn’t just creep me out (but it did a lot), but neither of those pets were anything alike and that said a lot to me. The dog didn’t even bark when she got lost for three months and made it back and was waiting to be noticed. Just sitting there in the yard. But she barked at him.
So creepy pretty much nails it yea. Kept me away from him.
@gshellen@lisagd@steeltoesenator Leak frogs are cool but no longer available. They do sell Leak Lady Bugs and Leak Dogs over on Amazon. Not sure if they are the same manufacturer.
@gshellen@lisagd@steeltoesenator@yakkoTDI lol…me too but it’s a “Leak Puppy” Water Leak Monitoring Sensor with Alarm 1 Pack - Leak Puppy Electronic Water & Flood Leak Detector - Detects as Little as 1/32" of Water - Overflow Alert Sensor Beeps Loudly When Water is Detected https://a.co/d/5mWG5R4
“Leak dog” takes you down a whole different rabbit hole…
@Mandamm Apparently, the ghost is the button. It shows up in the chart of my monthly clicks, although I don’t remember if the Meh face confetti showed up like it usually does.

Some of the “hooves” holding the feeder bowl look quite a bit more like… different… body parts.
@GeneralAnubis Those are hooves?
This has to be pretty damn close to the weirdest thing Meh has ever offered. Can anyone think of any other contenders?
@haydesigner there were some pretty strong contenders at one of the Mehathons.
@haydesigner
well these’ll certainly make the maple sap harvest more festive.
@alacrity
Why?
Where’s the meh button? I really, really need to press it for these monstrosities.
@kjady Yeah, if it doesn’t show up today, it’s going to break my streak of consecutive clicks!

@cinoclav @kjady @rockblossom The image cinoclav posted is what I have too - is that the “face” for today? A ghost, maybe?
@cinoclav @kjady @Kyeh That’s the “face” for today - or possibly meh’s version of a Rorschach test.
@cinoclav @kjady @rockblossom Okay. Very strange … meant to be spooky, I guess!
@cinoclav @Kyeh @rockblossom This is the first time Meh has been subtle. I don’t like it.
Uh… weird.
You misspelled “Squirrel Feeder”.
@sdansmith All seed feeders are squirrel feeders. Some are just slightly more challenging for the squirrels.
@rockblossom @sdansmith I put up pulleys and ran colored ropes over to a column. Each feeder is up high by the porch ceiling except when we lower them to refill them.

Ok, raise your hand if you bought 3.
This is the kind of White Elephant Christmas Gift that either no one or everyone wants. I side with the no one crowd.
Hell of a write up!
WTF? Did a team of crack heads “think” up this one?
Thanks, I hate it.
But I may still buy three to hang up in the forest near my house to creep out hikers.
@goffstock my neighbor as a kid did this with the trees in the middle of the cul-de-sac. He cut off all the branches so no more climbing, made these faces but as people on all the trees, and also added faces to his trees.

I assume these will resurface in September when they’ll seem more seasonally appropriate…
@cn They will show up in irks. This place rarely sells items in the season you need them.
@cn There’s never going to be a time these are appropriate.
Aww, I’ve always wanted one of these! Just not enough to spend any money on one.
Buy hundreds. Every night when your neighbor is asleep, put it back up on one of their trees.
You’re selling what now? Nightmares?
Why does the cow have huge tits?
@DrunkCat That comment is udderly ridiculous!
@DrunkCat @ircon96 You guys are really milking this one…
@DrunkCat @ircon96 @pmarin Yes they are. It is time to moove on.
/showme animal parts nightmare fuel
@aperfecttool72 Hey it’s Frank!
@aperfecttool72 @ircon96 Looks a little like Rocko.
@aperfecttool72 @yakkoTDI But Rocko’s kinda cute, this definitely gives me more of a Manipulated Dead vibe.
I do believe these should be called squirrel feeders
It took years for me to login and comment. This is the worst of the worst of the worst online sales at meh.
@DEVILS I must agree.
@DEVILS you’ve been watching meh for years but never actually bought anything?
Meh with a capital WTF?
This writeup made me drift away to a tranquil and motionless sleep.
This has strong old-school Woot vibes. Should come with a LeakFrog.
@gshellen Hey! What’s wrong with Leak Frogs? I have one.
@lisagd Presumably nothing. They just came up on Woot…a lot.
@gshellen @lisagd I still have two. No surprise washing machine leaks for me.
@gshellen @lisagd @steeltoesenator Leak frogs are cool but no longer available. They do sell Leak Lady Bugs and Leak Dogs over on Amazon. Not sure if they are the same manufacturer.
@gshellen @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI Leak Dog?!? I’m there, dude.
@gshellen @lisagd @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI My dog leaks a lot these days, how much will you give me for her?
@gshellen @lisagd @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI lol…me too but it’s a “Leak Puppy” Water Leak Monitoring Sensor with Alarm 1 Pack - Leak Puppy Electronic Water & Flood Leak Detector - Detects as Little as 1/32" of Water - Overflow Alert Sensor Beeps Loudly When Water is Detected https://a.co/d/5mWG5R4
“Leak dog” takes you down a whole different rabbit hole…
@gshellen @ircon96 @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI I just went through that the last few weeks of my dog’s life last year. I got really good at washing the kitchen floor!
I personally don’t believe in hammering anything into a tree. The poll was kind of ironic. These things suck so bad, I didn’t even get a meh button…
@Mandamm Apparently, the ghost is the button. It shows up in the chart of my monthly clicks, although I don’t remember if the Meh face confetti showed up like it usually does.
