@snapster's said meh will forever be one deal one day, so they're going to have to start up other sites if they want to sell more crap. What do you think (or hope) is next from Mediocre?
Here's an idea: It's a site that costs $5 a month to be a member and it sends random boxes filled with meh. ---but--- The catch is that each month you get to say "send me the box" or "let it ride" and the more times you let it ride, the better your box will be.
Idea #2: A site that is $XX/month to be a member and you get one token for that month. Each day they post a new item and you can decide to cash in your token and buy that item, or hope something better comes around tomorrow. If you wait too long you get stuck with whatever the shitty final item of the month is.
As my last order from Threadless verifies that they've sunken back to their old ways of "who's blanks are cheapest?" and are using the same Anvil mutant blanks that Woot is using ... I still have hope for a curated shirt site that offers a variety of designs at least a couple times a week, printed on quality blanks (like AA), and reasonably priced ($15 or less).
@narfcake man this is a bummer to hear. My last couple orders were good but one of my old orders almost made me never go back because of the crappie blanks.
Just like the drone sister site, I would like to see a site dedicated to hacking and integrating technology into my world. There may be a site already out there but I enjoy the company around this place!
Can you guys get some stuffed Irks made up and sell those to us occasionally (like with the screaming monkeys)? Sometimes I need an Irk to snuggle with at night.
My big drag is simply the timing. I'm sure you've heard it over and over again...but...why roll the new item at midnight EST? Have there been studies on this or is it just blind "pick something in the middle time slot" think? I paid $5 a month for 6 months...and ordered 2 things. All the good sh*t was sold out when I woke up. I cancelled. This is a west coast operation...pure and simple. You want word of mouth? Not getting it from me unless my bud is on the night shift. You know how many night shift east coasters I know with internet? 2. Roll your garbage at 4am EST and make it a game. Until then...the stuff on the site is generally boring gamey slop I'll pick up at TJ Maxx this Sat. Cheers. Illcommunicator
@darksaber99999 "whats next for mediocre?" See illcommunicator's post. I swear....only those that have it good see fault in a dissenters comments. Have fun in Cali bud.
@illcommunicator Jesus fuck, take it easy, stop smothering me. BFFS? No way, dawg. Maybe someday, for now, we got to work on your grammar and logic. You said you werent here anymore, clearly you are...stop playing games with my heart.
@studerc My studek, clearly I meant I wasn't paying $5 anymore. To Meh, that's 3/4 gone. Forgive me for not satisfying the remaining 1/4. Don't make me make it whole....or I will pepper you with another conjunction. I understand your concern, lets just take this low and slow.
@illcommunicator No, see, this thread is about what project Mediocre is going to try next, which is why it's weird you posted about not understanding how VMP works.
@illcommunicator From a fellow Eastern Timer, I don't share your concerns as you can see from my post in the A Whole Years Worth of Complaints topic. But you should totally post your own complaints in that topic! That's why it's there! :-)
I want to see what they do with Codename Jensen.
@Thumperchick Definitely the most interesting of the other stated experiments.

@bradandcoffee I. Really. Like. These. More than a little bit. Perhaps a lot a bit.

Seriously, what's it take to get a knife or speaker dock around here? Something has to give in the new year.
@cinoclav How about a bluetooth SpeakyKnifey
a site that makes the VMP feel even more mediocre then they already do?

Er, I mean, my kid wants an Irk doll.
@pepsiwine I think everyone wants an Irk... I'd love to order like 10 of them... Meh could make Bank on me...
@sohmageek only if it has a pull string with some Irkisms.
@marklog It'll just keep saying, "Cheer up sucker!"
@marklog I want it to keep saying "bothers me more than it should."
@connorbush "something went terribly wrong"
@marklog "you know what bothers meeee...."
@marklog "I heard there would be nachos . . ."
@KDemo Ha! I still say that at least twice a week.
I predict that more and more of the daily items will be meh branded or meh themed. (Or maybe that's just what I'm hoping.)

@illcommunicator Hey, fuckface. You are clearly here as you answered back. In the future, be sure to walk into oncoming traffic. Cheers, douchebag.

@Pavlov Somebody needs to do this and clean up the mess. Better meh than any other candidate I can think of.
