I so hope I get a sweatshirt (XL) or other cool gear in my size that I can use!!! I love “Meh” branded things. People are always asking why the things I wear always just say “meh” on them.
@Odysseus1001 The order is not important. It has often been observed that if one buys the IRK first, it becomes important to make sure that the other purcase(s) actually happen. It’s a literal “you snooze, you lose” situation.
@Collectordragon I doubt it. I think it has to be 4 different items. Otherwise, just buy 4 of those $3 beanies for $12 to get your $20 discount on your irk.
@Collectordragon requirements just say items, so I also think it’d apply…or, even if that wasn’t the intention, they’d probably honor it anyway as it wasn’t specifically excluded in the terms.
@Collectordragon I read and then re-read the rules on side deal. It does not say four separate things, says four things. I just bought three beanies in one transaction to donate, which should count as three, including one other item before that to make my four.
@PHRoG the event items are only available for the duration of the event; the previous week or three of regular Meh stuff is usually still available (if it hasn’t moved to SideDeal or MorningSave by then) to create this specific confusion.
Super excited to get another box of Track-R’s. I have quite a collections just waiting for somebody to write an app that works with the damn things. I’m hoping to get enough to pave my driveway.
@mshipp I have a friend that is planning to make a mosaic art piece out of the ones that I’m saving for him. He works in the medical field and he was working on a mosaic made out of the tops of injectable medications.
I ended up with one of the non-logo user-designed “meh” shirts once, but I never got one of the “real” ones in a useful size. (There was a 3X in a recent IRK, but that’s big enough to wear with a friend, which might have been fun when I was 50+ years younger.)
Of course, I could always print a version of my own. but that would be work.

So if I buy 4 things at Meh first and then buy the irk do I still get the $20 discount? Or only if I buy the irk first?
@Odysseus1001
The order of orders wouldn’t matter.
@Odysseus1001 you typically need to buy the irk first.
@FreePasta i don’t think that is true?
@meh
I don’t think that it mattered in the past.

@werehatrack so if you make four purchases and then buy the irk, you still get the refund?
@FreePasta maybe you’re right, i really have no idear
@meh @werehatrack yes, order has never mattered. It’s not a systematic thing, they process it all after the 'thon is over.
As long as you buy the IRK and the things during the event, you’ll get the expected refund.
@PHRoG neat thanks
Do 3 orders of the same item count towards 3 of the 4 things I need to order for the full $20 discount for the IRK purchase?
@Collectordragon I doubt it. I think it has to be 4 different items. Otherwise, just buy 4 of those $3 beanies for $12 to get your $20 discount on your irk.
@Collectordragon i’m pretty sure it would work. spend $20 or more on whatever on meh, get $20 refunded on your $30 irk.
@Collectordragon requirements just say items, so I also think it’d apply…or, even if that wasn’t the intention, they’d probably honor it anyway as it wasn’t specifically excluded in the terms.
@Collectordragon
I would probably do it in 3 separate transactions to be sure.
@Collectordragon I read and then re-read the rules on side deal. It does not say four separate things, says four things. I just bought three beanies in one transaction to donate, which should count as three, including one other item before that to make my four.
@Collectordragon
What is written:
It’s $30. Each thing you buy over at Meh in today’s Meh-rathon is $5 off, up to $20. Let’s lay out all the possibilities!
Buy the IRK. Buy 4 or more things over on today’s Meh-rathon. After you get your $20 refund, your bewilderingly bad IRK is effectively $10.
They just say things, no dollar amount and no verbiage about transactions
@Collectordragon @Dakini
Does that mean I need to buy the IRK first? Or can I buy it later?
@Collectordragon @Dakini @whyhellohello
You can even purchase the IRK in middle of the other 4 purchases.
@Collectordragon @Dakini @FreePasta
My last irk made me $$$ as I sold the main item locally for $100. I think I paid $30 for the irk.
@goldnectar One should never count upon this, however.
@werehatrack oh hell no! That was a lucky irk. I’d just be happy to receive something useful, much less, something valuable.
Do the ICYMI (past meh-rathon) items count toward the IRK $5 discounts? Or is it only the active items with the countdown clock? Thanks!
@the38steps yes, as long as it’s items offered during the 'thon, they apply.
@PHRoG Great! Thank you so much!
@the38steps the items have to be bought at this event, not past ones.
@Kidsandliz Perfect! Thank you!
@Kidsandliz @the38steps are past ones still even buyable?
I know they’re left open for a bit afterwards…but, that was like over 3 weeks ago and I didn’t think they still would be after that long, lol!

@mshipp You could make a suit of techno scale mail with them, too.
@mshipp there is an app that works for them, local tracking and ringing only.
@mshipp I have a friend that is planning to make a mosaic art piece out of the ones that I’m saving for him. He works in the medical field and he was working on a mosaic made out of the tops of injectable medications.
@ironcheftoni presuming I can find them I have 3 or 4 boxes and a bunch of loose ones I can send you or him for postage (pirate shipping).
@mshipp There is an andriod app that works - SwiftFinder.
@Kidsandliz thank you! I see him on sunday. Let me find out if he can use anymore.
@pandabear41 Is this an IOS app?
@mshipp @pandabear41 no only android
so I’m missed the last couple. One can only hope that they are out of trackers and expired cereal by now.
/giphy shaken-entombed-wand
@ironcheftoni enjoy your coffee maker and toaster oven abomination
@pakopako that wouldn’t be so bad. I could use a new toaster oven. Coffee, maybe not so much since I’m a tea drinker.
@ironcheftoni @pakopako It’s an all-in-one, does-nothing-well atrocity according to the feedback I’ve read.
/giphy uncanny-chilling-devil
/showme uncanny-chilling-devil
@mediocrebot I’m not sure about the chill.
My IRK has shipped, scheduled to arrive Saturday by the end of the day.
I hope that they didn’t single me out and prepare a special one for the GOAT!
@lonocat Well once they sent someone 50 pounds (might have been more) of goat food.
@Kidsandliz
@Kidsandliz @lonocat To be fair, that was a particularly deserving recipient.
@Kidsandliz @werehatrack like sending @narfcake cat food?
@Kidsandliz @lonocat @narfcake @werehatrack who was the recipient. I dont recall that incident
@Kidsandliz @lonocat @narfcake @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack It was @Cengland0. I wasn’t here when it happened, but I read about it (“past glories,” as the Woot shirt derby says)
https://meh.com/forum/topics/my-fuku-other-thing-shipment
No pictures left, unfortunately.
@cengland0 @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @lonocat @narfcake @werehatrack oh my gosh that is glorious! Thanks for sharing the link
@Kidsandliz @lonocat @werehatrack
I iz not a cat!
@cengland0 @Kyeh @lonocat @narfcake @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack Yes we had a lot of fun on here in the “good ol’ days”.
The goat stuff was only one of the jokes meh sent out back in it’s infancy.
@cengland0 @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @lonocat @narfcake @werehatrack I am lucky that I was here for some of it, but def not this particular shenanigan
Order which you buy them doesn’t matter-you are going to get screwed either way.
Does anyone want the subject above edited to state that this is not the reveal thread? Conversely, does anyone object if that is done?
@werehatrack Just do it. Somebody died and made you king so you might as well take advantage of that.
I ended up with one of the non-logo user-designed “meh” shirts once, but I never got one of the “real” ones in a useful size. (There was a 3X in a recent IRK, but that’s big enough to wear with a friend, which might have been fun when I was 50+ years younger.)
Of course, I could always print a version of my own. but that would be work.
I just received my IRK and boy do I regret it. Lol
@dikdik post on the irk reveal thread so we can share in your regret.
@dikdik Don’t keep us in suspense, post the details to the Reveal Thread!
