After 871 days I get a welcome letter? That is beyond Meh. In fact that is too big a deal to blame a goat of the day wannabee. So @lotsofgoats you got some splainin to do...
Well, at last I feel welcome!
@BelyndaG
@MEHcus
@MEHcus @galmaegi does it come in Korean?
@sohmageek We have an awesome tool called translate.google.com
I feel so welcomed! Only it feels as if it's come to late to properly warn me of the dangers....
@jaremelz
@MEHcus Witch, please....
@jaremelz What about warning us of the smart-assery and lady boner photos? (I thank you ladies for those. Sometimes a girl needs something other than puppy & kitty gifs to make it through the day. Damn! if y'all haven't come through like total ACES!)
@LaVikinga I've no idea what this smart-assery of which you speak might be....
@jaremelz Turn around, turn around, TURN AROUND, DAMMIT!
@LaVikinga Well, ok.
@jaremelz Doing the gods' work, ma'am, you're doing the gods' work.
Things must be slow at the office.
Meh.
I finally feel like I'm part of...something?
I imagine someone discovering an old to-do list at the office with "send welcome email" frustratingly un-crossed-out
A newsletter?! Must be a Mehltdown happening tomorrow!
@medz That used to mean a FUKU was coming but one just sold so IDK what that means.
@medz OMG the fuk-off might be for realsies?!?!
"Success for us here is to grow an intelligent, informed community..."
fail?
just kidding. i love all you fuckers.
edit: although "love" is kind of a strong word. how about "don't despise" instead?
@carl669 Thanks. Coffee, all over my shirt. Thank god I missed the laptop this time.
@carl669 Well said.
@carl669
RLY? Intelligent, informed community? Have you not read the forums you're pretending I've never seen?!!?1!
No, I will not call you anti-retail. What marketing tripe. /ragequit
Okay, I'm back. But seriously, that email was not Scottish.
@jml326
My disposable bluetooth speaker bit the dust. Will buy the next one that comes up. Other than that, usually meh.
After 871 days is there a welcome gift?
@jml326
@carl669 Damn good sir, i sure as fuck dont despise you!
@jml326 I got a welcome pair of Meh socks shortly after signing up about a year ago.
I like receiving email.
@jsh139 Replying in case you have notifications turned on. That way you get an email that you love so much.
@MrMark I do and I did. Thanks!! :)
@jsh139 Y'know, you could be nominated a goat for that reason ...
@narfcake Haha, I never thought of that. ***runs and hides
Thanks for reminding me that I still exist! I know I haven't bought hardly anything since joining but a guy can only own so many ear-buds! I still look daily, tho.
Iowa Caucus, Phil the groundhog, meh.com welcome letter.....MEH!
@autoxer I know! Can it get any better than this?!?!?!
Hunh . . a welcome letter. I feel like the guy who was ignored for a date (for months) and then someone drinks a bottle of wine and calls . . . well ok!
A welcome letter, now? I'll read it in a year or two... Mehbe.
Well that was 35 seconds I'll never get back.
@aaronhurt sure. but really, would you have done anything useful in that 35 seconds anyway?
@snapster is a cat.

Meh needs to send out welcome letters every once in a while for those of us who forget to come to the site for months at a time.
@melwin Seriously. I opened this email and said "what the fuck is Meh, I never signed up for this. Oh yeah, that weird website that sells stuff I don't need but buy anyway and then there's a bunch of gifs"
@GVLaker09 There are a lot of posts about goats now, so maybe I'll hang around for a while. I like goats.
baby goat
@GVLaker09
I've got to figure out how to post videos properly.
@melwin if it's on youtube, just paste the link and let the mehgic take over.
@carl669 Thank you. I was overthinking things, as usual.
uh... you're welcome!
Uh.. Hello.
My name is Peels and I've been meh-ing for 407 days.
I'm looking forward to honing my mediocrity with all you supah-stars!
@Peelie14 You got some catching up to do, Peels!
Did you guys finally start to break even? Is it fair to say that this is more of a "we are still in business" news letter?
Congrats
@Kevin They left the accountants back at Woot. They were always trying to argue with numbers. I mean, what's wrong with this pricing dartboard? And sure, this item is being sold at a loss - but we'll just make it up with volume!
/s
@narfcake I think that is what you call a high volume Loss Leader sales... only they forgot the other part that goes with it like more than one deal a day. Oh wait. That is their business model. (grin)
Took so long to welcome me that I forgot my password. But, it's all good. In a mediocre kind of way.
I got busy for a few days and you had to send an email to everyone to get people to post enough to make up for my chatty ass being gone?
Damn.
@Thumperchick Hooray for job security! Welcome back :)
@Thumperchick Missed you.
@Thumperchick we were starting to think it was baby time.
@Barney d'aww, I missed you, too!
@ceagee that's because it was.
@Thumperchick
did the baby get a welcome email too?
@Thumperchick Really ?? Congratulations !! Will there be pictures ?
We should have a party or something.
So wow. Much baby. Such excitement.
@Thumperchick
Let's see @Thumperchick + @Humper = @Bumper ? or @BabyBumper / @Bumperbaby ?
Hope all is well with new one.
Hope you are doing well too !!
@mikibell No email, but she doesn't have an account yet.
@ceagee - Yes, it's hard to write the post I want to write - as she's so damned cute and cuddly and I don't want to focus on anything else.
@Thumperchick That's ok. When it's right you will write it. Enjoy all these precious moments.
So happy and excited for you. ETA and @Humper too of course ;-)
@Thumperchick Oh, mama, you've got it bad. :) I'm so happy for you.
@Thumperchick Congrats!!! I miss those days, kiss that sweet baby girl of yours for me... I know she doesn't know me, but if she did, I would be her favorite Auntie :)
@Thumperchick ahhhhh! Congratulations!
Huge congrats to @Thumperchick & @Humper!
(I was hoping to find an appropriate catshirt but I haven't found one yet ... I'll take the blame for that.)
@Thumperchick - let's not hijack this thread too much. I'll have one up for the newest mehrican shortly!
@Thumperchick Then only focus on her... STOP :P Enjoy the time while you have it... It may seem like you have all the time in the world... but 17 months in, @tiwanaku and I looked at infant pictures... and we wonder where that cute cuddly baby that wanted to be held and loved went... Now he acts like he owns the place and has been going around tonight saying "no" or trying to get us to do something without telling us what he wants, then saying "OBEY!" (I still love him, but it's much different than when he was newborn!
@Thumperchick Congrats!
@ceagee I like these ideas. Very euphonious mellifluous.
@bumper wow your first comment ever. Will there be more ? We're really not a bad lot.
@ceagee If there's a chance I'll get a baby named after me, yes.
I never got a goodbye email from woot. I guess the emails got lost in the '1 billion items a day' concept over there now.
Dear @snapster,
You sent me a nice, but incorrect email. It states, "Hey, thanks for signing up to Mediocre through our Meh project"
For the record, I did NOT sign up through the Meh project. It was the other way around. I blindly signed up as a rat for Mediocre Laboratories. Just thought you would want to be reminded, and make corrections ( or not. I'm guessing not). I am sure I am not the only one who was sent an incorrect email, unless the other rats got a different letter and I'm the only one who did not. Oh crap.
Is it just me ?
Sincerely,
Rat 481
@ceagee I noticed that too, but I figure he's a busy guy and it wasn't worth nitpicking
One person's nitpicking is another's nostalgia.
@ceagee Yea i was going to say that in the OP , but figured it was too convoluted to explain. Besides I have no idea what my rat number is since i can"t find the original email so it is my word against meh anyway!
@readnj What's your number?
@ceagee Unfortunately I didn't participate in that thread. I did find @carl669 # though. I think he was looking for that. 424
@readnj yep. 424. good ol' palindrome.
I enjoyed my welcome letter 246 days after joining :)
@rogerpeter And may I welcome you to the forums dear lurker. : ) only took you 246 days to write your first post ! Try it again sometime before another 246 days go by, you just might like it.
I got one today. My response was that it felt like I was watching Back to the Future Part 3.
They're still sending emails? I'm feeling unwelcome, but maybe there's hope.
sniff
@KDemo You didn't get an email?
@KDemo yours must be clogging up one of the internet's tubes somewhere, because it was sent
@KDemo Mine was hanging in my spam folder for 2 or 3 days before I noticed it. Check there, maybe you'll feel better.
@Barney - I did not. :-(
@katylava - Can we call a plumber? I've checked all folders (including junk and deleted) multiple times. Thanks for checking, though. I have been getting forum pings, so even stranger.
@ACraigL - See above - thanks for your concern.
@KDemo Well, I'm glad you're here.
@Barney
@KDemo It's not that strange – transactional emails (like forum pings) go through a different service than newsletters. Newsletters go through MailChimp. This welcome email was a newsletter. MailChimp would tell us if it bounced, but it hasn't. If it hasn't bounced, and you haven't received it, then you are a (un)lucky winner of the lottery of missing emails. It happens, the internet isn't perfect.
@katylava - Next you're going to tell me that the 5-second rule is false, and climate change is real. Sheesh. If MailChimp uses those screaming monkeys, I may know what went wrong.
Thanks for confirming that I'm not a pariah, and for the internet lesson (however painful). lol
