Told My 100th Person About Meh
12Was out catching one of my favorite bands at one of my favorite beer pubs in town last night and struck up a conversation with a stranger and got on the topic of Meh. She didn't know about it so I once again had the fun of telling her all about Meh and she vowed to run home and check it out.
By my estimate, this is about the 100th person I've sold on the cult of Meh.
So what do I get for all this free advertisement? I mean, do we at least get participation certificates or something for doing all this work for you? Trophies? Sharks with frickin laser beams on their heads? Oh, I could use a new vaccum. Just saying.
I mean, just getting things at great prices with freaking awesome customer service while having a fun time in a good community and free videos every day... I dunno man. Is that a fair trade? Some would say so. Those people clearly aren't greedy self entitiled jackwads like me though.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not expecting something to be just handed to me. Shipping it via SmartPost is just fine.
And don't give me any of that "no way to verify your claims" bullshit. Of course there's a way to verify it. Just ask me. I'll tell you.
Anyways, happy Monday. And thanks for being cool enough that I actually have fun telling people about you.

I can't say for sure, but I think Meh still works on the gold star system. 100 people = one gold star. 100 gold stars gets you a key chain or a bouncy ball. It's a pretty sweet deal.
Wish Granted
(Disclaimer: due to the slow shipping speed of SmartPost we do not promise the shark will arrive alive. Laser may also not work.)
@mfladd I may be willing to risk it
@Bingo How about a participation trophy?
@hollboll For some reason, seeing this makes me a little sad. I guess it's because it's a real thing.
I require proof. Until such a time, I am unconvinced.
@hart
I feel as though we should conduct a community experiment here to see how full or not full of BS @Bingo is about this claim.
Anyone willing to admit that they were referred here by Bingo?
@MEHcus In my defense, I never actually identified myself as Bingo to any of these people. That would be weird. Well, weirder than talking about a website that has an aggravated troll as a spokesperson and who sells speaker docks by the container load.
@Bingo darn, and I was going to support you and say it is all your fault that I am here :)
@mikibell Did you find out about Meh in Florida from a hat wearing, harmonica playing bearded guy with a camera? If so that was me
@Bingo nope..it was worth a shot! it does sounds like hubby and me in Disneyland wearing woot shirts..people were yelling woot at my husband and he proceeded to explain it to those who were in line behind us..that was one LONG wait for a safari ride!
@MEHcus Is he also known as John Gruber?
@mikibell I hear you. Many of my Meh conversations have started over Woot shirts. And I REALLY wanted to wear my Meh shirt a couple weeks ago when I played a fairly large festival but unfortunately the band I was sitting in with had a theme for stage outfits and the Meh shirt just totally didn't fit in with it.
Daydream--The Lovin' Spoonful... Not sure why, when I read @bingo 's post, this song popped into my head.
Damn I though I was awesome with a dozen referrals and 5 VMP people. I am humbled.
