@mediocrebot According to Webster (and because I don’t have anything better to do until the sun comes up):
Which Came First, gruntle or disgruntle?
The verb disgruntle, which has been around since 1682, means “to make ill-humored or discontented.” The prefix dis- often means “to do the opposite of,” so people might naturally assume that if there is a disgruntle, there must have first been a gruntle with exactly the opposite meaning. But dis- doesn’t always work that way; in some rare cases it functions instead as an intensifier. Disgruntle developed from this intensifying sense of dis- plus gruntle, an old word (now used only in British dialect) meaning “to grumble.” In the 1920s, a writer humorously used gruntle to mean “to make happy”—in other words, as an antonym of disgruntle. The use caught on. At first gruntle was used only in humorous ways, but people eventually began to use it seriously as well.
I guess we need this Christmas season to come so there’s a whole bunch more crap out there that nobody is buying, ripe for meh to scoop it up and foist it upon us…
@DaveInSoCal I’m wondering if the box is actually going to be full of televisions or leftover 4K monitors or something. This is just too weird to be true.
That said, I’m afraid I’ll never know, because I don’t think I’m buying this.
OK, this thing worked with candy corn, because candy. Although I guess you get points for not putting candy in there to be contaminated with glass shards.
Sweet! So I can cut myself when I open the box. Not sure what would cut me first. But no thanks, I already broke my leg and ruined my whole summer, not willing to cut myself…or worse yet make it look like I attempted suicide just by opening a box!
@yakkoTDI ouch! Yes it’s healing nicely. But I couldn’t do much cause it was getting infected. I had to keep it elevated. Hope yours is feeling better!
@Thumperchick I don’t mean to cause hurt feelings but a box of random, useless stuff with a goofy description is fun - once in a while. Obviously I don’t speak for everyone, but it just feels like you’re serving up lots of garbage lately.
@Thumperchick . . . more . . . I check in on meh nearly every day. That’s showing some loyalty. I pay $5 to be a VMP every month. That’s showing some loyalty. I don’t expect to buy every item every night, but I expect the item to be useful/entertaining/of good value to a sizeable portion of the meh’tizens that show up every night and in some cases pony up $5 every month. I don’t think that’s unreasonable.
Meh, you’re such cut-ups, but I’m not sure if I get the point of this bundle.
BTW, I watched your wine glass packing test video. If you’re testing each box, I don’t think I want to buy any wine glasses from you. I will, however, watch any further testing videos you make.
@shawn thanks for the reply. Too funny. Warning to others: be careful what you wish for. meh might grant your wish and then you will have a box of sharp things… I mean gift exchange items for Christmas at work. I am in for 1.
Can’t believe I am about to say what I am about to say. But I’ll say it anyway. Meh is getting about as bad as woot. There I said it. (Seriously, though. Meh sucks now.) (Yet, I keep coming to look. I don’t buy a thing, anymore; but, I keep coming to look.)
If they came in packages I’d be in, but considering how rarely my meh boxes are actually taped all the way, I’m afraid I’d end up with just the broken wine glasses.
I don’t care what you’re selling, I love today’s write-up. I need a bit of a laugh in the morning to get me sharpened up. Thanks for the fun.
Sharply yours;
A Little Less Dull
Man, I love you guys but please - sometimes you just gotta admit you screwed up and got stuck holding a bunch of crap. Tell the interns to dump all that trash out in the dumpster, sit down with your buyers to get them refocused, and move on.
I was thinking of deleting the meh app off my phone. But then remembered all the good stuff I have gotten from here and decided to check out today’s deal before I didn’t anything brash… I should have just deleted it.
@RiotDemon We aren’t moved in at the new office yet. Most of us “office-folk” are working out of another space, while the new office is getting finished up. Gifts would likely be lost if sent to the new address at this point, unfortunately.
@djslack Sure - I’m certain that the move will be publicized, if not by me, then by someone.
Not trying to poop on any parties, but it’d be pretty lame if people spent money on gifts/pranks/TP/whatever, only for it to end up in a corner of an unfinished warehouse, never to be seen again.
I just want to see what Wondering, With love, With satisfaction Mikes order number looked like.

Giphy gets me. Image failed. YouTube won this one! Emojify failed me. 2 out of 4 - would be the score but the YouTube bumped it up a notch. Thanks Mike!
Whatever this is, 17.7 lbs seems pretty heavy for some damn razors, plastic knives and wine glasses. I guess we’ll see when I cut myself opening the box In a few days.
I just want to say, thank you Meh, for delivering an unsatisfactory box of sharp thing. The knives were sufficiently plastic and therefore dull, the glasses intact (wrapped in bubble wrap and packaging paper no less, the shame!), only the razors were sufficiently sharp. As my husband discovered when he claimed they couldn’t possible be sharp as they were loose in the box. He then promptly cut himself with one whilst trying to prove his point.
Okay, maybe I’m not actually that mad, because watching him cut himself in the stupidest way possible may have been the highlight of my week. The plastic knives can at least butter toast. Finally, the glasses can hold wine (yay for more adult beverage holders!), and when I’m tired of them I can disassemble them to have what was originally intended. Sharp things my husband can pull a smart one with again!
Thanks Meh!
Got mine yesterday. Razors are just in time to take on my vacation, and the plastic knifes are really pretty good quality. I was a bit disappointed in the wine glasses though. Only one of the 4 was glass shards. Heh is slacking. Next time I expect at least half of the glasses to be broken.
@Quantumcat The good news is upgrading your wine glasses to broken wine glasses is an easy DIY project. Save time, hassle, and money by smashing them yourself!
True to form, I cut myself opening the box. But with the knife I got from the “knife and several pounds of melted candy corn”. Which I found ironic.
The razors are actually pretty good for disposables, only one broken. The wine glasses are nicer than my Ikea ones, so I’ll save them for fancy dinners.
The knives? I dunno what I’m going to do with them. Have a knife fight at work, I guess. Naysayers be damned, this was actually not a bad deal.

No Candy Corn?
@therealjrn not sharp enough.
@Thumperchick it can be if it melt it and shape it.
Sharp but not so stabby, meh. I like it.
I’d be in if you had included sharp cheese.

/giphy dangerous-hateful-pencil Yeaaah. I see what you did there, Meh.
And I’m not upset at your giphy either. fail. but cute anyway.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one.
@mehgrl more like cutting it?
@mehgrl They finally emptied out the dumpster.
@rtjhnstn Don’t bet on that!
OK, this thing worked with candy corn, because candy. Although I guess you get points for not putting candy in there to be contaminated with glass shards.
Wow. They are really really trying to get to zero VMP’s with the quickness.
I’m going to be drinking wine in the tub, shaving my legs, and spreading cheese on a cracker with the knife. Best night ever.
@medz You’ll have enough razors and knives to invite a few friends in the tub with you.
@christinerenee @medz eleven friends - just share glasses.
Meh says the glasses are dishwasher safe, but Amazon says hand wash - who is lying?
@liquidbluenight @meh? He’s pretty drunk tonight.
@liquidbluenight Amazon also says dishwasher safe in their description, the two-faced bastards.
@therealjrn
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@meh FTFY (slash commands have to be on a new line)
@therealjrn FYI, @meh is female.
@liquidbluenight keep at least one out of the dishwasher so that you have one to drink from
@narfcake It’s kind of creepy that you know that, narf.
@therealjrn its not really, seeing as ive known narf on the forums since, like, 8 years ago at shirt.woot.
@meh You sound surprisingly lucid.
@therealjrn i went home n had some din din and gatorade
Also comes with a chance of papercuts.

I can’t decide if Meh is self medicating too much or too little.

Hi Meh. If you’re gonna start selling unmatched kitchen utensils, please opt for spoons. Soup, tea or table. I’ll buy em all! Thank you!
Your friend,
Uncle Vinny
@UncleVinny Nooo, forks!!
/image plastic fork
@UncleVinny - If they did sell spoons, they would all be those dysfunctional inverted ones. Be careful what you wish for.
@KDemo Then they’d have to include the hammer to fix the spoons.
@UncleVinny Spoon!
@mehcuda67 You’re assuming they want to sell us something useful…
Sweet! So I can cut myself when I open the box. Not sure what would cut me first. But no thanks, I already broke my leg and ruined my whole summer, not willing to cut myself…or worse yet make it look like I attempted suicide just by opening a box!
@savvysapphire Hope that break wasn’t too bad. MY left leg sends his sympathies.
@yakkoTDI Well, at least my knee is healing nicely.
@yakkoTDI ouch! Yes it’s healing nicely. But I couldn’t do much cause it was getting infected. I had to keep it elevated. Hope yours is feeling better!
@savvysapphire It is much better. I broke it in early 2016.
When you get so clever that people can’t even understand what the hell you are trying to sell, you’re trying too hard.
@aarknader it’s plastic knives, disposable safety razors, and wine glasses.
What’s confusing? Many call that Saturday night.

Hello sirs and madams,

@ShotgunX Ken Jennings? Is that you?
What’s not sharp? The idea behind this bundle.
@huja that was rather blunt.
@Thumperchick I don’t mean to cause hurt feelings but a box of random, useless stuff with a goofy description is fun - once in a while. Obviously I don’t speak for everyone, but it just feels like you’re serving up lots of garbage lately.

@huja my terrible joke fell flat. blunt is the opposite of sharp. I was trying to play off your comment.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Thumperchick Maybe I just need to give myself a timeout. The crappy items ought to make he say meh, not grrrr.
@Thumperchick Oh, wrong kind of blunt.
/image blunt
It’s getting difficult to justify the $5 month lately.
@t0nyc0tt4m $5 a month is a lot of money after all,it’s a year’s wages in North Korea
@t0nyc0tt4m Do you not shave?
Strange, the sum of the parts still seems worth more than the price. If you’ve already paid for shipping via VMP. Maybe even if not. Bizarre.
I’d agree there’s been a lot of crap recently… Seems to have started about the time they brought on new buyers… But this is very meh-like imo.
/giphy less than the sum of its parts
Meh usually comes up with at least one purchase worthy item a month which makes it worth it
In addition Buy and meh there really needs to be a third button labeled Hell meh
@huja NOOOOOO. I am already mostly beholden to one button. You want to double my workload?
At this rate, they will soon be selling their recent bowel movements. Why not be bought out by 13deals and get it over with already?
@ponagathos
@narfcake
@blaineg But meh didn’t sell that. The poo dough they did.
(Click it.)
no purple or baby arm wtf?
@futaira we can’t have sharp objects around baby arm!
@Thumperchick You give baby arm knives to play with all the time.
@sammydog01 those are stabby, it’s different.
Just how desperate to sell something, anything are you guys?
Meh, you’re such cut-ups, but I’m not sure if I get the point of this bundle.
BTW, I watched your wine glass packing test video. If you’re testing each box, I don’t think I want to buy any wine glasses from you. I will, however, watch any further testing videos you make.
So they must have run out of candy corn so they’re randomizing this box o’ crap?
bundle in a flashlight next time.
but I almost wish this was something I can just give you the money and you donate it to someone in need.
I’m not buying this out of respect for environment.
just throw this crap into next fuku
Is this a cry for help, Meh? What are you trying to tell us? It gets better.

@obxer You keep coming back to watch because watching train wrecks in slow motion is mesmerizing?
@Kidsandliz
@blaineg just confirms my theory: Always wear a high visibility jacket.
@obxer Woot sells catshirts. Meh doesn’t.
Maybe this (and the past random so called bundles) is part of another (failing) mediocre experiment by meh?
No thanks, I already got broken glass in my Fuko last month.
This is so bad, it makes me hope Amazon buys meh.
If they came in packages I’d be in, but considering how rarely my meh boxes are actually taped all the way, I’m afraid I’d end up with just the broken wine glasses.
C’mon guys, can’t just you find 2 or 3 pallets of flashlight-speaker-dock-knives and move on!

In for one. Worth it for wine glasses alone, and the Help Center will will appreciate the rest.
I already have broken glass for the office, and I would never shave there, but the knives could be useful … nah, not for ten bucks.
My first meh order. Hope it’s worth it
@nickfogo And after 534 days as a mehmber. You’ve been very patient waiting for exactly this bundle.
I was thinking of deleting the meh app off my phone. But then remembered all the good stuff I have gotten from here and decided to check out today’s deal before I didn’t anything brash… I should have just deleted it.
@adamloooong there’s a meh app?
I don’t get the play on words.
Have you guys moved warehouses yet?
@RiotDemon my Google home came from a different return address so I think so.
These Saturday bundles may be from sweeping up at the old place…
@RiotDemon My last package came with the new address too.
AFAIK, there’s been no arrangements for any sort of “welcoming gift” yet. Maybe next month when they’re fully settled in?
@djslack that’s precisely what I was wondering.
@RiotDemon We aren’t moved in at the new office yet. Most of us “office-folk” are working out of another space, while the new office is getting finished up. Gifts would likely be lost if sent to the new address at this point, unfortunately.
@woodhouse But you’ll keep us posted, right?
@djslack The teal deer is that it’s not time to TP their offices yet.
@djslack Sure - I’m certain that the move will be publicized, if not by me, then by someone.
Not trying to poop on any parties, but it’d be pretty lame if people spent money on gifts/pranks/TP/whatever, only for it to end up in a corner of an unfinished warehouse, never to be seen again.
@woodhouse Snapster locked the new warehouse thread on Mediocre on Wednesday. Maybe he’ll remember to post some info when it’s completed?
