Maybe it was the thought of having a one deal a day site with only one deal. That way I can look and go about my day. None of this 50 other things to look through thinking that I might just miss something and then being let down after wasting all that time.
Well, as I am married to a Rutledge, I figured we really hope Matt succeeds in this, because we don't want him going broke and having to move in to the guest room.
You've heard of anal probes, right? I was told that if I didn't back the project that I should expect to be awoken to bright lights in the middle of the night that would be followed by periods of amnesia (during which time unspeakable things might happen).
So I chose to back the Kickstarter -- I mean really, have you seen some of those guys working over at Mediocre Labs? Grays in disguise, got to be!
I backed it hoping you'd have enough money to move further north. The old-and-busted Woot building is only 2.7 miles from my house, while your new-mehness office is, like, 5.5 miles away. Makes it harder to stand outside with a boombox playing Peter Gabriel on a regular basis.
Maybe I should try doing that during the day. You guys never seemed to be around at night.
Because I never quite seem to be fully on the bandwagon. Even here after receiving an invitation to play I still missed out on the fukuboro and got in late. But here I am on launch day, soon to be all tricked out in a meh shirt, so woo-hoo.
I be serious. I want to see if this idea can catch fire a second time around. If it does, I want to be here to watch it happen. Also, there was a box of weird shit in the mix.
I'm sick of all of the meh things pretending that they're awesome. Either this is meh and aptly named or it's extraordinary and casually (okay, maybe not so "casually") understated. Or it really sucks, and some of us will laugh heartily in retrospect at the folly.
My aim is no less than the salvation of the English language. Meh. Not really. But I see this as a weak thrust of the bayonet on a small and mostly unoccupied battlefield in a distant corner of the raging war that no one else really cares about, but I like to pretend they do.
To be completely serious, I really missed the original Woot. It was quirky and had legitimately good deals on things. I used to stay up just to see what the new item would be. I'm hoping this site will bring back that kind of excitement.
I was never able to get a Bag of Crap from the "Other Site", so I figured, what the heck.. It's just my kid's college fund that I am foolishly pissing away on useless junk. :-)
Because I heard a rumor that anyone who failed to back the start-up after getting the e-mail would get a flaming bag of dog crap on their front porch. Then I heard another rumor that the fukubukuro was actually an authentic bag of dog crap, and it would be delivered and lighted by someone from the Home Office of Meh. Then I thought: "Well, I'd much prefer an authentic bag of dog crap, so ..."
I didn't fully understand this thing worked. I thought it was like investing in Microsoft when they first started up. So, I'm not going to get fabulously wealthy huh?
I appreciated the irony of using Amazon to fund a competing site after they killed, mutilated and raped the corpse of Woot (maybe not in that exact order).
Plus, an ex-DFW native, I went to the first Saturday sale for years. I loved that hobo-village-under-the-bridge vibe it had. Does that make me cool? No need to answer, I know it does.
I am sooo done with WOOT! The last 3 items I bought I got burned on in one way or another. I can't wait to delete my account there! I remember the good old days when I first joined WOOT, a deal was a deal, and customer service meant something... not just sending me yet another email putting me off for another week hoping the supplier would pull through and actually ship my crap! #smh
Wait, did we have the choice not to? Shit...
I believe Meh is hinting towards the start of a new gang...
Crips and Bloods, meet the Mehs….
I thought I was voting for Ralph Nader.
Just as effective!
Sort of like waking up with a hangover, a little hazy, and thinking "did I really do that last night? or was I just dreaming?"

I'll be honest and admit that the idea of getting a Funkijunki bag played a not-wholly-insubstantial role in the decision.
applause for funkijunki

He can stay in my guest room when this crash and burns :D
I wish I was married to a Rutledge. Then, I'd divorce him/her and when people ask why, I'll just reply "I was pushed over the Rutledge!"
It'll be... so epi... I mean meh.
meh seemed okay on the early day. Now it's kinda meh.
I just wanted weird daily deals. And I get the feeling I'm the only one here that's not into the forums. Does that make me lame?
It makes you meh. You'll fit right in.
Because meh may be the counterbalance to all of the pfffft that is the State of Texas.
People don't like me so i have to move from place to place reinventing myself until the people there figure me out and I have to leave again.
I told my wife about meh, and she was sorta, meh, and I meh, then we meh ;) then I backed...
Wait a sec - you mean to tell me that this wasn't the Kickstarter where you pay the guy to eat potato salad?
Why? Why? Why?

Supported to see what was happening or whatever. Really just was looking for something to avoid work a little longer.

Whatever.
This may be my favorite post thus far in the forums. :-)

As a lab rat, I thought it was my duty to do so o7
Also, I'm hoping it will fuel/fund more interesting experiments :D
20th!! Awww yeah.
Could be worse. Could be 21st.
Here is to the regression of the internets.. meh!

I missed the old ways. And, I wanted a Fukubukuro. I figured $10 wasn't such a bad price to pay to see how this would unfold.

I thought I was helping a panhandling hand-puppet.

I was so meh about the potential for Japanese babies on cribs!
Looking for clues... Thought Mediocre/Meh had one...

Do I now own a piece of the company ?

I'm a sucker for crap!
