@bramby2 hahaha that reminds me, I still owe you posting a picture of myself on the meh forum in this hood. Might have to wait until monday, if tomorrow goes poorly maybe I’ll get drunk and post it along with a story.
@bramby2 I’ve been seriously considering a series called “Seed’s Shitfaced Sunday Stories”. I’ve lived in 8 states (plus France briefly) in as many years, used to have a pretty severe drug problem, been to jail, have a penchant for befriending old people and homeless people, completed a BS magna cum laude in under 2 years, and now work for a [business area redacted, well known company]. I have a few stories. On the fence about doing video or typing. I don’t want to be identified. Maybe I can wear the hood and sunglasses.
@Seeds I think you have some pretty interesting stories to tell and all of us on Meh would find them highly entertaining!
Wearing of the hood is a must for any videos…but with the neck pillow inserted. When you put that thing on—you don’t simply wear the blue hood, you “experience” it.
@bramby2 haha first I’ll have to get a neck pillow. I have to look at it a little more, but I’m thinking I also may need to remove the old headphones and put new ones in- confusingly, the old ones don’t seem to have an audio jack- just micro usb
@Seeds Don’t want to be identified? So put a bag over your head with a picture of @snapster on the bag. I believe if you hunt through the archives you will find his face plastered on some. Problem solved. You are welcome.
edit: is it possible they have a battery and work with bluetooth? That might be kinda cool. I haven’t noticed any method of pairing, but it’s something else for me to look into.
@bramby2 so today took the one fucking turn I didn’t expect. Next weekend I have big plans and likely won’t be able to video shit, and I want the alliteration of seed’s saturday or sunday shitfaced stories, but I do promise to share, and if people aren’t immediately disgusted by them I’ll continue after my goathood is over.
@Seeds here is my thought: you can’t post until Monday (or even) Tuesday because Saturday and Sunday are for “making” shitface stories. If you hit a “dry” spell, then you can get shitface and have a flashback episode…
A box full of springs contains springs.
I really overthought this - all sorts of ideas for every type of spring imaginable. Metal coil, torsion, leaf, disc, and any other shape imaginable, elastomeric, molecular, gas, etc.
Spring flowers and bugs. A score for Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. (I Really wish I had been able to find that.)
Then I thought, “What the hell, it’s meh!” So I grabbed one of my jars of springs and dumped it in a box.
If I had dumped it into a bag, would it have been a “boingobukuro”?
While I was tempted to post a picture of an Amish Rumspringa, I haven’t actually partaken in that and therefore couldn’t include my handwritten user name. So, my somewhat classic stapler will have to make a run for it.
@PlacidPenguin Unfortunately the switches (the things that house the springs) are soldered in. Removing the keycap will only show you the plastic switch housing.
Here’s a neat diagram of the concept for these particular keys, though.
@hillee Nut and bolt and spring body, bolts for legs, chain link for eyes, slip coupling for snout … I’m trying to figure out if the ears were anything “off the shelf”, though.
@Seeds This was more of an afterthought as I suddenly got the lyrics stuck in my head. I’ll stick with the stapler as my offficial submission. Though I’d still like to find a nice Amish girl on her Rumspringa.
From three springs in three countries… (Haven’t been to Fiji yet, but both other bottles were acquired in their respective lands)
@curtise happy to see you took the cutoff to heart :p

@Seeds I hope you’ve had many adventures with that hood! Now that you are the goat this month, all Mehtizens must entertained with a story!

@Seeds You’ve just described the exact reason why the hood ended up in the Fuko to begin with…
@Kidsandliz @snapster nah, too weird even for me.
@bramby2 haha probably.

@bramby2 or maybe i’ll just do it this week anyway. seeds shitfaced stories still works, and I plan to be drunk until friday.

@djslack Ooh, thanks for the reminder! I love skeleton watches. Here’s a bad photo of 2 of mine, but I have others. Somewhere.
Back when spring loaded video games were a thing
Here are the springs that I had to replace today because of all the spring potholes that spring up all over and can’t be avoided
@candiedisilvio1 Full on springs and struts, it looks like.

@mehcuda67 Not the score, but a cd of vivaldi’s four seasons is one of the first gifts I received that I still have.
It’s a pen. Deal with it.
I would have taken a picture of an (old) calendar, but you didn’t write Spring (uppercase).
@PlacidPenguin pen’s fine, challenges also aren’t case sensitive.

These incredibly exciting charging clamps from the Duracell Jumpstarter I got from Meh have springs in them.
It’s a mechanical keyboard, so there’s a spring under each key.
@Kawa
Want to take it apart and show up?
@PlacidPenguin Unfortunately the switches (the things that house the springs) are soldered in. Removing the keycap will only show you the plastic switch housing.

You didn’t necessarily specify the springs had to be visible… There’s a few in there to make it tick and to make it chime.
/image grandfather clock spring
Now @placidpenguin has me questioning my submission…how about the torsion springs fron my garage door instead?
@jksquared looks like a spring to me
@jksquared GMTA.
Garage door torsion spring.
Woof
@hillee Nut and bolt and spring body, bolts for legs, chain link for eyes, slip coupling for snout … I’m trying to figure out if the ears were anything “off the shelf”, though.
Among the WDW places we’re going, DS isn’t one of them. Went to Epcot yesterday and will be going to AK tomorrow and MK on Tuesday.
There’s always “Owl Jolson.” Just a fun submission, there’s no place for my name!
I love to sing-a
About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a…
@cinoclav Weirdly enough, I know this cartoon. Others have posted a sticky note next to their monitor if you want to take the lazy route.
I never watched the lyrics. Waking up with the south in my mouth sounds fun.
@Seeds This was more of an afterthought as I suddenly got the lyrics stuck in my head. I’ll stick with the stapler as my offficial submission. Though I’d still like to find a nice Amish girl on her Rumspringa.

Congrats @curtise for most votes and @bramby2 for making me smile.
