OK, that makes sense. IIRC meh and I have birthdays a few days apart on the same day so I was most likely AWOL due to partying out of town. C’est la vie.
He lives in a prominent corner of my button board, unfortunately when the livingroom got rearranged a few months ago, the TV ended up in front of board so now Irk is mostly obstructed.
I thought it was on the bottom of a pile of junk on my desk but when I went looking for it, I nearly caused an avalanche. Don’t think it’s there now but not 100% sure because my desk is really messy.
I do have a collection of pins from all around the world including some olympic pins and award pins from work and they are all in a single collection somewhere. I thought maybe I put it with that bunch but I cannot find my entire collection of pins either. I am very disorganized. One thing I know for sure, I didn’t throw it away because I’m somewhat of a hoarder so it’s in this house somewhere.
After tearing the house apart looking for Irk, I found him still in his original bag on another junk table. I know it’s a mess. Please don’t judge me too much.
@tinamarie1974 Embarrassing yes. That container is just to capture the ones my pet conure drops while in the Livingroom. I have a lage zip lock bag full with enough to make a small pillow. He molts every year and I’ve had him for about 9 years or more. So this is just a small portion.
By the way, you have a good eye for noticing that.
I know it’s a mess. Please don’t judge me too much.
Hey, I can totally relate to that. My photos are always very strategically taken to hide the disarray. Although the little troll shelf is pretty orderly, and my tiny house displays. Small islands of organization in the midst of chaos!
@cengland0 This is a truly amazing and impressive collection of stuff. From the labeled feather container to the dental tools to the high correction glasses. I salute you!
Also I didn’t get a pin, I don’t think, and I did do birthday games… One of the few ways I’ve managed to snag a fuko.
Yeah, except Im making it to prank my niece. She thinks it is hilarious to call me Aunt Chicken (no idea why). Been doing it a long while, now her friends call me that too!
Got Charlie and my moms dog baby chick costumes and plan to jump out as a real AUNT CHICKEN with my chicks in tow
@cengland0@Kyeh@macromeh thanks!!! I am frustrated with some of it, but it will be good for trick r treating with my niece. The feathers dont overlap as much as I would like, but apparently I should have purchased more than 30 yards.
@tinamarie1974 Cute. Would love to see it zoomed out so we can also see the legs and feet with those Orange spandex. One of the best homemade costumes I’ve ever seen.
Candidly I do not have the whole set up on here. I just threw the top part on to see how it looked/if I needed to add more feathers, etc. It isn’t even zipped up for fear that a feather gets stuck and it jams b4 halloween
I promise to take better pics on Halloween when I have the whole shbang working together!
@cengland0@tinamarie1974
That’s so great!!! I could even see some celebrity wearing that as part of their get-up (without the beak) to one of those Met Galas, maybe with some rhinestones added in.
@brainmist@cengland0@Kyeh@tinamarie1974
Fantastic job! I showed your photo to my wife (who is both a seamstress and chicken fancier) - once she stopped laughing, she was quite impressed!
I got one. Not sure where it is or if I still have it. I have a sort of memory of giving it to someone who was beyond disappointed they didn’t have one.
Nope. Never saw one. Link?
I would have so worn that as a lapel pin now and then!
I did!!! It is tucked away in a super safe hidey-spot
Got one. It’s somewhere. Probably hanging out with lost pens and missing socks.
I did not know about it until now.
@yakkoTDI @chienfou I think we got them for being active in the birthday games that year.
@Kyeh @yakkoTDI
OK, that makes sense. IIRC meh and I have birthdays
a few days aparton the same day so I was most likely AWOL due to partying out of town. C’est la vie.@chienfou @Kyeh I was working most of that day due to new software at work and that software did not make me happy.
@chienfou Yes, I’m pretty sure you were away.
@chienfou @yakkoTDI Damned software!
@chienfou @Kyeh @yakkoTDI
Yep, this.
It was the participation trophy, the winners got more.
@blaineg @chienfou @Kyeh @yakkoTDI Aw man, I don’t recall birthday games! Sadness
Mine is hanging out with some other troll friends.
It’s around here with the other pins. Somewhere.
Don’t have one, either
Handy where I can see and grin at it now and then. Was hoping for a Glen follow up
None for me.
I just saw it the other day. But where???
Where is the Irk plush?
That was before my time.
He lives in a prominent corner of my button board, unfortunately when the livingroom got rearranged a few months ago, the TV ended up in front of board so now Irk is mostly obstructed.
@metaphore I like his cat.
Uh, how were those distributed? It’s news to me and I’ve been a VMP since the Kickstarter launch.
@Bretterson As mentioned above, the participation trophy for the 7th B-day games.
I just ran across mine in my nightstand drawer yesterday.

I found my box of pins and Irk isn’t there. That’s quite disappointing.

@cengland0 you have a container of feathers??,.
@tinamarie1974 Embarrassing yes. That container is just to capture the ones my pet conure drops while in the Livingroom. I have a lage zip lock bag full with enough to make a small pillow. He molts every year and I’ve had him for about 9 years or more. So this is just a small portion.

@cengland0 that is really cool!!! And such a pretty birdie
fwiw my house is FULL of feathers right now. Making a chicken costume for Halloween and those suckers float all over!
@tinamarie1974 post a picture of your chicken costume. I’m pretty sure we all want to see your creativity.
@cengland0

@cengland0 will do as soon as it is finished! I still have an arm and the head to go. Hope I have enough feathers for both

@cengland0 @tinamarie1974 If you run out of feathers before the costume is finished, you could call it “Tyson Survivor”.
@cengland0 @macromeh lol
Yeah, except Im making it to prank my niece. She thinks it is hilarious to call me Aunt Chicken (no idea why). Been doing it a long while, now her friends call me that too!
Got Charlie and my moms dog baby chick costumes and plan to jump out as a real AUNT CHICKEN with my chicks in tow
@cengland0 @tinamarie1974 Excellent!
@cengland0 @macromeh not quite finished, but this gives you an idea. Have to finish the head, hooefully tomorrow
@tinamarie1974 Very nice. Looks good. What kind of shoes/feet will you be wearing?
@cengland0 Thanks! I have orange yoga pants and costume chicken feet
@tinamarie1974 lol, perfect.
@cengland0 @macromeh @tinamarie1974
WOW! That’s looking very impressive!
@cengland0 @Kyeh @macromeh thanks!!! I am frustrated with some of it, but it will be good for trick r treating with my niece. The feathers dont overlap as much as I would like, but apparently I should have purchased more than 30 yards.
@cengland0 @Kyeh @macromeh @tinamarie1974
This is amazing dedication to being the fun aunt.
@brainmist @cengland0 @Kyeh @macromeh aaww thanks, but I have fun with it too!!!
@brainmist @cengland0 @Kyeh @macromeh FINISHED, FINALLY
Better pic on Halloween, but here ya go
@tinamarie1974 Cute. Would love to see it zoomed out so we can also see the legs and feet with those Orange spandex. One of the best homemade costumes I’ve ever seen.

@cengland0 @Kyeh
your sweet. Thanks!!!
@cengland0 @Kyeh @macromeh @tinamarie1974 My goodness.
Can we please make you the Gen X mascot?
@brainmist @cengland0 @Kyeh @tinamarie1974

@brainmist @cengland0 @macromeh @tinamarie1974
Lots more impressive than this chicken:
That’s an excellent question. It’s not with the rest of my Meh swag. Any ideas?
@j2 You should have put a TrackR on it!
On the shelf above my monitor with my other trinkets
@callow That’s a cool cat you got there.
I got one. Not sure where it is or if I still have it. I have a sort of memory of giving it to someone who was beyond disappointed they didn’t have one.
it’s my birthday…so I need that
@amehzinggrace
/giphy Happy Birthday
@amehzinggrace
Still a current VMP since Day Zero 2014 and Kickstarter here…
Ummmm, where is mine?
@somf69 @Bretterson see above - they were for joining in on the birthday games!
https://meh.com/forum/topics/where-is-your-irk-pin#635340378f93d3f306e7c581
@Bretterson @Kyeh @somf69 Don’t fret too much. I work here and help with a few things one the day in question yet I don’t have one either.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@somf69 Same. I had no idea and I don’t recall the birthday games. Sadness.
I’ve moved since then. It’s… somewhere? But I did find some other things I was looking for.
