Show Us Your Swag – Meh clothes contest {Closed}
9We’ve sold a decent amount of swag since the very exclusive Kickstarter shirt debuted on the site exactly one year ago today. You have the stealth black on black option, the VMP-only flask (one of my favorites), and just like your weird aunt, we gave you some socks for Christmas.
In celebration of the return of yet another opportunity to pay us a nominal fee to bear the Meh logo on your body (and the whole year anniversary thing) we’re having a contest!
Show us your coolest/best/most-interesting picture of you wearing Mediocre/Meh paraphernalia.
Maybe you ran a marathon in mediocre socks, or met a WWE wrestler at an airport in Tampa while sporting a Meh shirt, whatever your favorite picture is.
"But what if I don’t have a cool picture wearing your crap?" you ask. I think it’s pretty obvious what you need to do, go out and take one, dummy! Sorry for calling you a dummy but that was really obvious.
And if you’re thinking “I don’t even have any Meh branded clothes!”, well first – today is your chance to get some, and second – be creative! I’m sure you could come up with some homemade Meh garment. Someone has to still have a Bedazzler and some leftover denim. Hey, maybe it’ll be cool enough that you’ll win just for making the dang thing, who knows?
You have until 11:00pm Eastern tonight. Star your favorites, but winners will be selected with input from a panel of Mediocre judges.
The winner(s) will receive a prize from the warehouse but it’s mostly speaker docks, knives, Roombas and vacuums in there so don’t get too excited.
Good luck!
Edit Update: Awesome job everyone!! Thanks for your entries, a winner will be picked later today.

NO! I refuse to participate in anymore contests until I receive my Valentine's kiss video prize from February. I love you and all, but no.
@PurplePawprints Goat Prize owed since Sept 2014...get in line sista!
@PurplePawprints
@PurplePawprints I'm waiting for my drinking terrible button. I drank nasty crap and exposed myself to the internet and i don't even have a button to show for it.
@studerc Don't worry, I'm not trying to cut in front of you goats, just lowering expectations for those thinking of entering for the prize alone.
@PurplePawprints Definitely should be in it for the internet points. Because that's the prize until someone chains @JonT to a prize shipment table.
But hey, still fun!
@Thumperchick @jont it's time for a new thread.
@medz Aye, the winners from the Drinking Video in March were never announced, despite several harassing reminders.
So by not submitting, I win? Awesome.
Ok here we go...
Location--kneeling in bathroom...meh
Lightning--less than ideal...meh
Facial expression--lackluster...meh
Wardrobe--every Meh shirt offered, yes...every one of them. Original Kickstarter, Grey Flask, Gray on Black(x2), Black on Black(x2), M on Blue, Meh on Blue...awesome.
Subject--@studerc...awesome.
If necessary I can include a baby wearing mediocre socks and an apron however I feel that will be overkill.
Your welcome.
@studerc Ahem, is the lack of "lightning" in your bathroom the less-than-ideal part? Because I kind of prefer my bathrooms to be lightning-free what with the water and all.
@PurplePawprints the lack of appropriate auto correct makes it even more "meh"...im actually pretty content with that outcome.
@studerc "Hang up the framed wire flower thing?! HANG IT UP? Do I resemble Bob Vila to you? Does my visage call to mind Martha Stewart? When you see me, do you think 'Oh, there's Bob the Builder except not clay'? I shall NOT hang it up! I shall lean it gently against the wall above the toilet, at a jaunty angle full of bohemian charm. And I shall set it atop a grey tea-towel lest any petal should fall. As is my wont. Good day to you."
@Starblind Funny story...i remodeled that entire bathroom myself over Christmas Break. Gutted it to the studs and started from scratch. At the end the wife asked me to hang up decorations. The walls were soo precious to me that I struggled to nail stuff up. That little wire thing was placed with purpose! Haha
@studerc - Command hooks.
@studerc I know a useful handyman's trick to help with exactly that situation. First, measure the wallhanging and make sure your planned hanging space is completely level, not just with the floor but with surrounding objects. Take a pencil and very carefully mark where the screws will go, using a tiny, very faint 'X'. Then, take a thick Sharpie marker and draw a crude penis on the wall nearby, complete with big hairy balls and (optionally) 'smell lines'. Once you've drawn a big offensive wang, you won't feel bad at all about hanging stuff on the wall! In fact, you might even find yourself hanging up something else to cover the cartoonish phallus. It's home improvement the Starblind way!
@studerc Wait..did you circumvent the one shirt rule? If so that's ground for disqualification.
@MrMark One shirt? Phhhbt. More shirts = more votes in my book.
@studerc no baby picture? No star for you!
@mikibell as requested. Also i hope im not too late @JonT.
Please note. Charlotte just woke up from a nap. @chaoscatapult felt that she needed to get fed. We modified the apron to serve as a giant bib. The socks keep her little arms warm. Welcome to the littlest mehrican here, Charlotte.
Also, the photo wasn't shopped at all, the meh on that bib hit the light just right, looks awesome.
@studerc she is sooo adorable! A star for her! (And you)
@mikibell I appreciate the kind words!
@chaoscatapult congratulations on your beautiful baby! Love the dimples..
@mikibell Luckily she has the cute little cheeks...due to her odd current hairline she actually better resembles a 50 year old man...all in good time.
@studerc Very cute!
@studerc YOU'RE ADOOORABLE
Being horribly uninteresting, this is the best I could come up with... I couldn't even find my most recent meh shirt, so I just had to make do with double kickstarter and some mediocre socks... meh
Also, fat cat.
@smigit2002 It looks like you made meh underwear. I say undies should be the next meh-branded offering!
@pitamuffin Couldn't agree more, I'm thinking a loin cloth, re-using the same tagline from the socks: "Never settle for less than minimally adequate."
@smigit2002 yaaassss
@smigit2002 wow well effin done sir
I really like the cracked flask logo shirt.
I'm up for the contest. Just need to remember to do it when I get home today. Also, I apologize in advance for what I have in mind.
@ACraigL I should apologize in advance too ;)
Aaaaaaaarecibo
Where they can hear the whispers from the sky.
Hollywood might try to Contact Goldeneye,
Glad I wore this when I stopped by!
Getting ready for my first Mehtizen's Anonymous meeting. Is it too much, maybe a little less, or a little more? meh....
Does this count?
@galmaegi uh...
@hollboll meow... :( give me some tuna.
@hollboll YAAASSSSS
Meh like a boss.
@medz You go, boss!
With my fancy meh card!
@galmaegi This is getting weird.
@hollboll This is why some people call you Erica when they reply to you.
@galmaegi Love the sign on the wall: "ELIKA". Just to make sure everybody can pronounce it as it was meant to: 에리카. I bet @hollboll is always mispronouncing it ;-)
@einrad Thanks! My friend got it for me during her honeymoon in Hawaii.
photography skills: meh (don't let my wife read this)
t-shirt: meh
socks: mediocre
riding skills: mediocre
bottom line: it doesn't get any more meh than this!
I wish I was as enthusiastic about being active as I am about being meh.
@jaremelz I should also apologize for the terribly meh 'meh' headband. I whipped it out this morning, and well, it's not very good. Which in this case, is appropriate!
So, Drat. I was thwarted at every turn. I was going to do an outdoor shot, but it started to pour. The the wife went shopping so I only had a selfie option. I don't expect this to win any awards, but here's me and Cody.
During a meh tshirt sale earlier this year (maybe around new years?), I was out shopping with the wife & discussing the fact that I wanted a new meh shirt but not one that was almost exactly the same as my meh kickstarter shirt. Then, we went into a discount store (maybe a fice below?) and found this:
THe apron is cool, but this is my favorite meh apparel.
@MrGlass It's hard to tell what I like most about this picture. It may be the 'not-quite-up-to-code' dangly smoke detector or possibly the oddly place jar of pickles to your right.
@MrGlass
I like that there are other companies inadvertently advertising for meh. For the longest time I thought my coworker was active on meh because of this flask on his cubicle wall. No matter, I got him roped into meh now ;)
@MrGlass Is that a pair of purple scissors in the cup?
The smoke detector is totally meh, but at least it has the ability to be in compliance with current codes; hardwired + battery backup.
@narfcake Purple? I love purple.
@narfcake @barney Yup, wife loves her new purple scissors. Even has a purple/pink pattern on the blades.
So here's the first one... I wasn't wearing it however. But when help arrives I can wear some ;) I'm wearing the vmp flask right now. And yes. It's all meh items. 6 speaker docks multiple built ny.. And a few other goodies ;)
@sohmageek..... I forgot the autograph in that one...
Are pants required?
@mikibell I'm not wearing any.... only Meh items....
@sohmageek great minds! If I were more ambitious, I think the apron would cover the appropriate bits and pieces..;) but I am not ambitious...
@mikibell Well... I tried using the fanny pack... but there were a few bits hanging... So i had to use the bags... And the editing was due to me not realizing that the nightstand had all kinds of baby stuff on it...
@sohmageek we thank you for your discretion! ;) baby stuff would not have made us flinch...
@mikibell Oh... the hat is my son's.... I thought I wanted to match the picture above....
@sohmageek adorable!
@mikibell maybe it was baby making stuff
@medz i thought of that...but I walked away from the thought..and appreciated his discretion again ;)
@mikibell @medz It was bottles and toys, I thought I picked them all up... but messy it was.. so gone it went.
@sohmageek 😉
@mikibell @medz However you do remind me of a couples baby shower my wife put on for her girlfriend (they were 3 months apart in pregnancy) They had some really woodchuck people at the shower. (FYI Woodchucks are Vermont's version of Rednecks... they typically have lots of plaid instead of wifebeaters) Bingo was by the gifts... One of the guys that was the burliest of guys kept screaming out, Are they nipple shields? Did you open any nipple shields. Do I even want to know what a nipple shield is?
@sohmageek hahaha that is as bas as when I went to "having baby" class @ the local hospital and one of the members tried to inconspicuously ask about inverted nipples, pretending it wasn't she..don't want to know what that is or why 😇
While my 12-year-old is still cooperative. One more day. She's 13 tomorrow. Sigh.
Here's to you - never has there been something that has driven me to drink like Meh! Happy first birthday!!
@whammo This is great. Also, the cat in the background.
due to a unfortunate recent weight gain all my Meh shirts are packed up. In lieu of that I would like offer the first ever Meh / @JonT Fan Art
@Jont with a custom Meh staff Shirt coming out of the server room
@Foxborn for some reason I cannot stop staring @JonT hips they are very shapely in that drawing and make me ummm lets not talk about that...
So....@JonT.....who won?
@studerc I think they're too busy enjoying adult beverages and laughing at us suckers for fighting over 620 Fukus
@studerc need to wait until later today to assemble the panel of judges!
@JonT I hope all the judges have to participate in "Drinking terrible" before the judging. That would make it really interesting :)
@JonT define later today. You are this vague time person aren't you that caused irks rant.
@sohmageek hey I just said that the panel of judges would be assembled, I didn't say I would announce a winner!
Don't worry, @JonT, we'll be patient :-)
I forgot to get this up before the deadline, but here's participation anyways (my teachers will recognize this move):
I crashed hard into the wall 3 laps later. I remember thinking shortly before the crash as I went down the front straight, "wow, I don't think I've ever gone this fast in these karts!" (they can go up to 45 mph) Then I couldn't hold it in the next turn and went sideways into the wall, compressing the tires in the barrier more than I would've thought possible and had a sore neck for a couple days.
@jqubed Hello, Andy Samberg from Hot Rod! Just add the lip hair....
@marklog I have never heard of this movie, but I'll try to remember to have a fake mustache handy for next time.
Our crack team of judges have rendered their verdict! In no particular order the winners are…
@medz
@sohmageek
@jaremelz
Congrats winners! Don't feel too bad if you didn't win, it was an extremely close race and I'm proud of you all. Everyone did an awesome job!
You will receive a prize…in due time.
@JonT Charlotte is disappointed. I told her that clearly she wasnt cute enough to win and she started to cry. She was also hungry...however i blame meh.
Also, congrats to the winners!
@JonT Hooray! I am a weiner! I bet it was the blur effect that pushed me to the front. Now I am a bit less sad about missing the fuku. Thanks! ...I think.
@JonT Woohoo! And they said my knitting would never amount to anything. Tell @matthew to just throw the dumdums in with whatever horrid awesomeness comes my way. Unless he ate them all. Which I doubt....And I agree with @medz, it takes the sadness from not scoring a fuku down a notch. Sniff, thanks guys!
@JonT Damn. Guess I just have to keep consuming meh clothes so I can win next time! Here's hoping there'll be something in my fuku to give me that extra edge!
(also, thanks for doing contests, I really enjoy it when I can come up with some way to participate)
@JonT wahoo thank you meh employees/ judges. :)
@JonT ok... not to be a pain... but any ETA on any of the prizes? I mean... How long has @Studerc waited?
@sohmageek It will get there the same time as your goat prize.
@Barney has anyone received their goat prizes yet?
@sohmageek No goat prize has ever been awarded.
@sohmageek Nope, no goat love from @JonT.
@sohmageek damn it goat! Bringing up my lack of prizes? Now @JonT is gonna delay those fuckers another month. Shhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt balls. All i want is some mother fucking closure! :)
@sohmageek The first rule of prize club is there is no prize.
@studerc I'm sorry. I know you've been waiting a while. I even offered to send you a prize for @jont. He didn't bite. I still have a box for you. But I'm waiting on my supplier for the last item. Sorry for the delay.
Hey @jont! We're moving next week. I haven't bought anything to change my address on file yet. Any idea when I need to get that updated?
@medz You're good. You've got a few months, at least.
Never mind, @JonT I just bought one of these stupid ice creme makers so I could get in on the roulette game. I don't know why...I don't need 1 let alone 2 of them. Shipping address on my account is current now.
