The fantastic adventure of @studerc and Irk's cousin...Ugh: A Fukobukuro Story

@Barney The thrill of the hunt…its always there. When you are at the bottom of the hole the only other way is up right?

*Meh throws @studerc a shovel. “Get diggin jackass”

@RiotDemon This is technically speaking a secondary fukobukuro shipment. I got my actual fukobukuro last week and this is a “bonus” shipment given to a select few.

@studerc ah ok. I thought you got a previous fuku of these glasses, haha

@RiotDemon my first fukubukuro had like two pairs in it. Hated them then…hate them now

@MrsPavlov Ha, it is, and it makes me happy about my garage door ornaments.

@MrsPavlov I think you meant “worthless”. Its entertaining…for everyone. Except probably me. Now trying to figure out what the fuck to do with them.

@studerc Garage sale? Hand them out to students?

@MrsPavlov I thought of that myself. Unfortunately most of our students struggle with strong behaviors and the idea of giving them glasses that mimick tripping out and such is simply a recipe for disaster. Most kiddos also struggle with levels of addition and self destructive behavior. I care too much for my students to do that.

@studerc Offer them to their parents at conferences as an alternative to something stronger.

@MrsPavlov If these kids even have parents they already have heavier shit than these could produce. If anything…they would probably double them up and get extra fucked up. Honestly…its devastatingly sad.

@studerc reading reviews trying to figure out what these were… Apparently they are used for meditation. Meditation with a seizure warning attached is weird.

@studerc Halloween treats … er … tricks? A bonfire?

@PurplePawprints yea. My wife would attest that i did a stellar job of tempering my expectations nearing the point of simply assuming the worst. Still…opening 8 boxes of dead trip glasses is rough. Ill actually lose money on this. Ugh. Haha.

@studerc I understand completely. I can’t even imagine how they got their hands on so many of these things. It’s like a never-ending cesspool of trip glasses.

@studerc what do you mean lose money? as in the cost to throw them away?

@communist yes. Either through garbage or even shipping. There really isnt even a break even with these fuckers. I cant even imagine giving these away. Maybe get through one of the eight boxes.

@studerc try selling 1 on ebay, see if anyone bites.

@communist i may. But even shipping them would cost more than what i would likely get in return. Not really worth my time.

@studerc Leave them on the tree lawn with a sign that says FREE… around here doing that stuff vanishes in an instant. As a back up plan list is as free on craigslist.

@studerc drop the entire pallet off at your local Salvation Army store, if they get even 50 cents a pair it’ll help em out!

@jbartus @studerc Maybe not a bad idea, if you can get a large tax writeoff for your donation.

@dashcloud technically he could only legally write off up to $5 but he’d be rid of them, they’d be potentially doing some good, and the saga would conclude thusly.

@PurplePawprints - Wonder if this means you or I will get pallets of green USB hubmen or PB&J spreaders?

@KDemo I fear it’s likely. That, or something else that will be equally useless to us.

Which reminds me, @studerc, what shipping company brought your stuff? I keep checking FedEx, UPS, and USPS but I have no impending shipments (that I wasn’t already expecting) so was wondering if they got DHL or some other company to ship these bigger items.

@PurplePawprints If they asked for your phone number it’s probably coming by a freight company and not ups, fedex, or usps. When I got a pallet it came overnight air freight! These little jokes must cost a fortune in shipping.

@PurplePawprints - Harbor Freight here. Or maybe Oak Harbor Freight?

@djslack @KDemo That makes sense. Thanks for the confirmation.

@studerc Watch out… that is incentive not to participate next time. (grin)

@mfladd thought alot about it and im gonna go with $1 Bob…er um Drew.

*Bell dings. “Someone guessed absolutely correct”

@studerc Or, you could trade it all for what is behind curtain #2.

@mfladd still better than 160 dead pairs of trip glasses hahaha

@studerc I would so take the llama!

@mfladd and that zonk! sign…awesome.

@mfladd I’d take most all the Zonk’s too - especially a llama - I wonder if you get the option to keep them?

@MrsPavlov seriously. What if you had a farm and wanted the llama? I’d fight for that.

@djslack I would wager they are the ones that put them in the dumpster in the first place…

@thismyusername That could make it even funnier to try to sell them a pallet back.

Click the relisted item link…not sure why the link goes to the unsold item…meh

@musmagic I think maybe they have the decimal point too far to the right in their price if they want to sell it… $35??? they’d be lucky to get $3.50

@cinoclav do you still have any pbj spreaders left?

@communist I do! Looking to make a sandwich?

@cinoclav I paid actual money at Williams Sonoma for a PB n’ J spreader. Or it may have been the tail end of a gift card, I don’t remember.

@jimmyd103 speaking of hopelessly optimistic…@hollboll, what happened to my pallet of DJI quadcopters? They are still on their way…right? The trolling can stop annnnnyyyyyy time.

@studerc I feel your pain. My kickstarter fuko included a special surprise package of two 50 pound bags of salt pellets.
/giphy worlds smallest violin

@jimmyd103 I would of put those in my water softener tank. So joke would of been on them.

@dashcloud its entertaining to say the least. Spent the greater portion of the day trying to figure out what to do with these.
