I'd be most excited to get a note from future @curtise telling me that he went back in time to earlier this morning and ordered me a fukubukuro which I am now holding in my hands, since I wasn't quick enough to order one myself. Also the note would indicate that I should avoid visiting Starbucks next thursday, but would not give me a reason why. Of course, he's a total jerk, since, with his time travelling device, he could have gone all the way back to pre-launch and got me in to the Kickstarter... What a jerk, that future @curtise is.
Diapers and a few meh onzies(different sizes). My little guy woke me up to change him and we got a bag. I think he's doing good for less than 48 hours old :) how cute would it be to have him full out meh! ?
@MeatyYoker I generally can't even stand to look at or listen to the guy, but seeing him in top form like that actually made me smile. Thanks for that. :-)
Hmmmm.....decisions, decisions, decisions. My ultra-greedy, dream fuku bag would contain any (or all) of the following: Samsung Galaxy Tab S, a Range Rover Evoque, tickets to see Jimmy Buffett in Las Vegas, a PetSmart gift card (two dogs eat a lot of Blue Buffalo), an Irk plush doll, and a tie-dye Meh shirt (men's L please). Dream big or go home!
Truthfully, I would just like something cool, to be one of those people in the forums that got a box that makes other's jealous. But alas, I'm the goat and all I bring/get is disappointment.
Let's see..a bunch of Tales from the Crypt, Fables or Walking Dead comic books would do it. Or video game related things. Or a Boglin. Or a code to redeem a Bitter Woman badge on Meh.com. Nerdy things, mostly.
@pooflady If you can teach me how to find the prime factorization of a number, I'll teach you how to use your smartphone, if it's Android and not an iPhone that is. Deal?
all of the dried and ground up bones from everyone who ever worked at Woot or Meh because I've never been able to get a single fucking bag and I hate everyone.
Google isn't helping me figure out what a "mustard wrench" is. As far as I can tell it's a giant wrench with blood on it that you find in the library being held by a gray-haired man with mutton chops.
A Kindle, the wife still isn't too happy I keep borrowing her's and running down the battery. Either that or about 10 or so speaker docks, it would help with the Christmas shopping.
I want a 19" TV that does not need a converter box like my current TV uses. Or if I can dream really, really big...a honda fit (as in life sized, not matchbox sized) to replace the ghetto van where sadly the AC compressor is broken and it was 93 degrees today (I live in MS). The fact that it can have antique auto plates come January (I am sure Henry Ford would turn over in his grave to realize a grand caravan will be sharing the rarified air of antique auto plates with his model T LOL) is not enough of a consolation prize for the fact that I am having to rebuild the engine one part at a time…and can not afford to fix the AC
Wilford Brimley and his mustache are national treasures. And I'm not joking.
But I'd really like a gaming system that I would never normally purchase for myself. Or an outlandish item like the giant gumball machine. Because bits are fun.
BTW, after years of trying to throw my money away on a BOC purchase on the "other site", I finally accomplished the task! The miracle of Meh.
I got first dibs on Matt's shirt. I hit that survey and chose that then discovered only 2 people had voted and the other one did not choose the shirt. MINE!
Based on previous sales, my excitement causing items: 1. Espresso Machine 2. roomba 3. kindle fire 4. galaxy tab 3 5. moar day zero shirts: mens xl & xxl please
random items: PS 4 An interior designer who could take our house from drab to at least meh. A Sweet Tomatoes (Soup Plantation for those of you way out thatta way)
Something that has to do with Texas... cause that's where I from. and cause I really like things technocological some free iPods or Samasung Galaxiy S....S.....S? What S number are they up to yet /?
@xEBRONx I don't know… I could use 21 of them to give everyone on my extended family christmas list a speaker dock - most of them I think would enjoy that - especially the kids
Two things. Based on the Bags Of Consternation I have gotten from the 'other' site, the most fun items to see in the Forums have been various figures, such as the Talking Dr. Laura and Talking (after repair) Chuck Norris dolls. The most fun items for me have been the Electronics items (Sansas, DVD/Blu-Ray Players, Tablets, etc) in various states of operation. Troubleshooting fun!!
@phonorad HOW DID YOU REPAIR CHUCK??? Mine has never said a word. In fact, when I went to the website of the product, they had actually relabelled it "Chuck Norris NON-Talking Plushie"!
@phonorad That's pretty awesome! However, I am not going to risk destroying Chuck to do this - it seems quite fidgety, I am a terrible seamster, and I would undoubtedly ruin Mr. Norris while trying to fix him.
Since we're dreaming big and impossible - I want a Hale and Hearty and a Dig Inn. I'll settle for a lifetime supply of Dig Inn's lentil soup, delivered fresh. Biweekly, so I don't get tired of it.
The latest iPad, Android Tablet, Surface and a Chromebook. Yaknow, a complete set. That would be exciting. A partial set wouldn't suck either.
Honestly, anything I will actually use that's also a little weird will probably be enough to excite me. Five bucks--that's less than a lot of unsatisfactory dining experiences I've had, that not only don't make me happy but give me trouble later.
One of three things would be nice: A box full of broken/defective electronics/appliances A hand-made Fukubukuro with items from the staff- also a return label so I can send you back a fresh box of stuff A totally ridiculous box with a new laptop or similarly outrageous contents
Something to prove to my wife that I am not wasting five bucks a month to be a VMP
50 speaker docks

@sohmageek congrats on you new baby!
@sohmageek Congratulations!!!!!
@sohmageek How smart of him to wake you up at just the right time!
An Irk plush to go with the Irk badge I'm getting
Airline tickets to go visit the meh warehouse and help pack Other peoples fubu bags. Free labor, you know! Though it'd be nice to get lunch.
Or, you know, a big TV, that works too.
Hell, something fun other than reading glasses and speaker docks would be nice.
Something that does not rhyme with umpteen pairs of reading glasses.
@SColburn umpteen speaker docs it is
I want an alive walrus. I'm not sure what a "live" walrus is. Does it do things on the fly or "live" like Bill O'Reilly?
@MeatyYoker I generally can't even stand to look at or listen to the guy, but seeing him in top form like that actually made me smile. Thanks for that. :-)
i want world peace.
what? too miss america of an answer? fine you selfish bastards, i want an ice cream maker!
@carl669 I have one I can sell you cheap.
An espresso machine would be nice. If I stopped spending money at Starbucks I would have a lot more to spend at Meh.
Are you talking a real walrus, Paul McCartney or me?
Maid service! I'm sure you can find a way to legally ship a human being...
@Thumperchick oh, so now you're limiting it to things that are "legal"
Hmmmm.....decisions, decisions, decisions. My ultra-greedy, dream fuku bag would contain any (or all) of the following: Samsung Galaxy Tab S, a Range Rover Evoque, tickets to see Jimmy Buffett in Las Vegas, a PetSmart gift card (two dogs eat a lot of Blue Buffalo), an Irk plush doll, and a tie-dye Meh shirt (men's L please). Dream big or go home!
If the walrus is anything like the seal from the kickstarter fukus, I say, "Hell-to-the-no!"
@medz I received one of those too!
@tinkertime Thankfully, I didn't get one. I was just scarred by it when someone posted in the kickstarter thread.
@medz they're way worse IRL. esp. when your dog throws it up four times.
@medz You are very lucky you didn't get one, they are creepy and they squeek.
A Tesla Model S would be cool I guess.
Truthfully, I would just like something cool, to be one of those people in the forums that got a box that makes other's jealous. But alas, I'm the goat and all I bring/get is disappointment.
@studerc And lots of notifications when your name is mentioned.
a pony.
Or some really wonderful homemade chocolate chip cookies.
@ceagee If I get one, you can have it.
@pooflady Thank you. Does that include the cookies I added ?
@ceagee Not a chance.
@pooflady If I got cookies, I'd at least think of you. After enjoying them I would say "poof" they are gone !
@ceagee Ahem. I will not be making appearences in anyone's fukumawhatsits.
@ceagee Chocolate chip ponies!
Let's see..a bunch of Tales from the Crypt, Fables or Walking Dead comic books would do it. Or video game related things. Or a Boglin. Or a code to redeem a Bitter Woman badge on Meh.com. Nerdy things, mostly.
Or a Dungeon Master badge as it has been established that I am the dungeon master!
Anything Irk: plushie, t-shirt, keychain...whatever meh can imagine (I trust their creativity).
@gio That's awfully brave of you
@Kleineleh :-)
An XBox One, a new iPhone 6 Plus, and a 2015 Mustang GT would be a nice place to start.
If I had known they would actually send what I picked, I would have chosen differently. Please set my walrus free and send Matt's t-shirt.
Adult colic is a cruel mistress.
I'd like Meh to send me someone who would teach me how to use the smart phone I've had for six months and haven't touched yet.
@pooflady and @jont can learn together
@pooflady If you can teach me how to find the prime factorization of a number, I'll teach you how to use your smartphone, if it's Android and not an iPhone that is. Deal?
@bluedog ACK!!! That's math, right? Looks like we're both on our own.
all of the dried and ground up bones from everyone who ever worked at Woot or Meh because I've never been able to get a single fucking bag and I hate everyone.
@triplebud
Google isn't helping me figure out what a "mustard wrench" is. As far as I can tell it's a giant wrench with blood on it that you find in the library being held by a gray-haired man with mutton chops.
@katylava that's correct.
@katylava
One of those sweet Blizzard Steins @JonT has!
@TheAlmighty1 Go helm or go home.
Google fails me. Anyone know if "mustard wrench" has any meaning besides sounding like 2/3 of an order number?
@davidgro I thought at first it was Col. Mustard with a wrench.
@davidgro CLUE?
@davidgro my only guess is that it happened in the library
A Kindle, the wife still isn't too happy I keep borrowing her's and running down the battery. Either that or about 10 or so speaker docks, it would help with the Christmas shopping.
I could use a Roomba. Really.
I'd love to get a projector and a 150" screen.
What? A boy can dream.
I would love a DLP Projector or a Roomba!!!!! Or a Dyson!!!
As a teacher, I could really put 50 iPod shuffles to use! or 50 pencils...used or new!
I want a 19" TV that does not need a converter box like my current TV uses. Or if I can dream really, really big...a honda fit (as in life sized, not matchbox sized) to replace the ghetto van where sadly the AC compressor is broken and it was 93 degrees today (I live in MS).

Trip Glasses.
That bag is so great. I hope we get that bag!
There was no option for I checked the site 1 minute after they sold out. I'll just go pout in the corner.
Ten more bags.
I have a feeling that we're all gonna be disappointed, but I guess it never hurts to wish!
@jsh139 Exactly. Even though I feel like they might try to do the exact opposite of what you wish, it is fun.
@jsh139 It's like playing the lottery - the fun is all in the dreaming, wishing and "what if".
@bluedog Yup, I know it!
@jenny Here's hoping!
So many good choices. I want the walrus, but I have a special place in my heart for Wang Chung. http://everybodyhavefuntonight.com/
Custom Lego set of the Mediocre office
@darksaber99999 Good one!!
@darksaber99999 YES! Really, I'd taken any sort of Legos, especially customized meh ones. I so wanted to buy one of those Breaking Bad sets.
I really need some kind of little media player. My Sansa died and my phone hates me. I'm chained to the computer or the radio if I want music.
Wilford Brimley and his mustache are national treasures. And I'm not joking.
But I'd really like a gaming system that I would never normally purchase for myself. Or an outlandish item like the giant gumball machine. Because bits are fun.
BTW, after years of trying to throw my money away on a BOC purchase on the "other site", I finally accomplished the task! The miracle of Meh.
A fuschia burro in my fukubukuro would be swell.
I'd be fine with a shit ton of Lightning Cables or something I can actually use.
I got first dibs on Matt's shirt. I hit that survey and chose that then discovered only 2 people had voted and the other one did not choose the shirt. MINE!
@Teripie Congrats. That does sound like an awesome shirt.
@Teripie - split it with you?
Based on previous sales, my excitement causing items:
1. Espresso Machine
2. roomba
3. kindle fire
4. galaxy tab 3
5. moar day zero shirts: mens xl & xxl please
random items:
PS 4
An interior designer who could take our house from drab to at least meh.
A Sweet Tomatoes (Soup Plantation for those of you way out thatta way)
SmartPost could handle this, right?
@editorkid the pinball machine or the kid with the tongue?
@jaybird Well, they could send the kid in the second box under a huge pile of bags.
Something that has to do with Texas... cause that's where I from.
and cause I really like things technocological some free iPods or Samasung Galaxiy S....S.....S? What S number are they up to yet /?
@mmomega The phones are up to S5. If you're on verizon, you can get an S4 for free w/2 year contract. (Well, free plus the $30 activation fee.)
A power wheelchair! That probably wouldn't fit in the bag, huh. Okay, then... a Wonder Woman photo album! :)
A couple baby gates, that actually have gates, you know that open. Since I can't risk breaking my neck again now that Thing 3 is crawling.
@xarous I believe they are called pet gates… oh wait that might let Thing 3 through and not you
Damn. I'd be most excited to get a bag at all! Guess I missed this one... oh wells
A Johann Schmidberger-made Katzbalger with scabbard. Is that specific enough?
Meh--this poll is missing "CmdrTaco" as an option. Good day.
That's what I get for not staying up late last night.
for the love of god, no speaker docks.
@xEBRONx I don't know… I could use 21 of them to give everyone on my extended family christmas list a speaker dock - most of them I think would enjoy that - especially the kids

PS4 and/or Microsoft Surface 3...plus, throw in a Zune you've got the perfect fubu bag!
