You have 90 days Meh, or I am leaving.
16I’ve waited long enough.
It’s time you finally get your act together and give the people (me) what we (I) deserve–a Meh equivalent of a wootoff.
I will give you exactly 90 days to get this done. If you don’t care enough about us to make this happen, you don’t deserve us.
90 days Meh. You have 90 days to succeed or fail. Make the right choice.
I encourage the people to join me in this pledge.

Meh, I’m staying either way. But I would enjoy an ambivalanche.
How would that work with the deal pausing model though?
@MrGlass How did it work with the one deal a day model over at woot? Oh right, they totally ignored it that day. Simple.
Uhhhh. Sure.
I would like a Mediocre-Off or Ambivalanche or Fast-Meh of some sort.
Buttttttt …
Strategy seems possibly ineffectual.

@ELUNO how about a “Sales Meh-dley”

Woot-offs are usually repetitive stuff slightly more expensive than on Amazon without the ability to cancel an order. Why did you want that exactly?
@sammydog01 That’s the current woot-off. We can all agree Meh is better than current Woot.
@sammydog01 yeah they used to be much betterer, a decade ish ago.
“Hey Siri, remind me to delete @phatmass’ account on Wednesday, December 14, 2016”

Um… Morningsave?
Not a mehpocalypse, but leftovers for sure.
@PocketBrain Speaking of which, just made my first Morningsave purchase.
elated-springy-marble
It’s in Yemen.
I donate to charity. I volunteer at my kids’ school. I’ve never once murdered another human being for sport. I don’t kick puppies. I never stole food out of the mouths of hungry orphans. I shovel my elderly neighbor’s driveway in the winter. I once drove an hour-and-half to a wildlife rehabilitation center to try to save an injured baby rabbit I found in my backyard. I yield to pedestrians at every crosswalk. I help short people reach products on the top shelves in supermarkets. I think I’m a pretty good person.
So I, for one, would say I DON’T deserve a Meh-Off.
@rv617 did you miss the thread where the aMeh.ricans and Meh.xican Meh.tizens related stories of kind things they’d done recently? i think you might qualify for top honors there
@Yoda_Daenerys I did not miss that thread. I think I got a blue bee for flying to Denver to rescue a couple of puppies from a puppy mill.
Mehvalanche! What do you think? I’m probably not the first to come up with that.
@PocketBrain You’re not even the first in this thread.
@PocketBrain I thought Mehrathon was the winning name, even though we haven’t had one yet.
@heartny I like that one!
@baqui63 Search on page shows only one occurrence of that word.
@PocketBrain
Hmmm… I’m tempted to suggest that someone edited the previous posts to remove that word, but since we all know that no one would have done such a thing, I’ll simply say that I must have imagined it and apologize.
Whatevoff
I have no idea what this is. I think I visited woot for about a week after it had already been sold, and after the week, I promptly forgot about it.
@RiotDemon I had coworkers who were obsessed with woot, but I never paid it any attention because they were always showing off stuff like giant boxes of wisps they got for cheap. So I have no idea what any of this wootoff nonsense is.
@Phatmass @RiotDemon I’ve never been to woot, never heard of it until I got to meh, and am not a historian. I don’t even know why I bothered to read this thread, or reply. And in 90 days, I will have forgotten I did so. I suggest others do the same. Cheers.
@RiotDemon @HemlockTea a WootOff was (is?) where one item is sold until it sells out, then they go onto the next item immediately after, and so on and so on.
Many F5 keys have been worn out by Woot! users for this raisin.
if Meh. does this i propose we’ll (why did i use “we”?) need to be sure each item also has a limit switch built in so others can buy it at a different time, and VMP can get even more later on in the day, for each item, but all running concurrently.
@shawn and friends need a new challenge
@Yoda_Daenerys
@Yoda_Daenerys that sounds terrible. I don’t want to be staring at the website all day. It’s bad enough already.

meh I broke down and spent 30 cents each on AA batteries today… you have 90 days to sell me some cheap but quality AA batteries… or else I will have to buy more at 30 cents each.
@thismyusername i have some fuji batteries i can sell you, they’ve only leaked a little.
oh yea, i have re-charged them a few times too, even though they are not rechargables, so i’ll give 'em to you for a good price
Meh, you have 90 days to mock @phatmass on your front page, or… Well, honestly, it’s not worth the effort to think of something.
@actionjbone This thread shows up on the front page, so… granted, I guess.
@PocketBrain Then I guess I’m the only person in this thread to get what I wanted.
I’m actually against a meh off or whatever you want to call it. what I do miss is the short lived happy hour on woot, a meh hour that would be awesome.

@f00l @Snapster may be able to help you with that, although it may have taken him a little over 90 days.
@PocketBrain
89 days, @snapster
@f00l I’m late to the game on this, but don’t you only need $10,000 to be a centimillionaire? Seems like @snapster should have just sent you a check already and checked this one off the list.
Or did Fedex come and that’s why the countdown stopped?
@snapster It’s a great thing that @f00l didn’t specify under what monetary value that centimillion is. At its demonetization, $175,000,000,000,000,000 in Zimbabwe was worth $5 US.
@narfcake
The only currency that matters here is the one they count with at Forbes.
@djslack
Ok
/image outpunned
@narfcake I knew that Zimbabwe hyperinflation thing was bad, but… I don’t understand. I was going to reference the joke about using leaves as currency, but I think that many leaves would be much more valuable than $5.
I’m not leaving, but it would be really awesome for meh to sell an induction compatible frying pan and/or skillet in the 10-12" diameter range that is not cast iron. (Cast iron is wonderful for many things but not all and if I had the above pan(s) I’d be able to just not use my gas cooktop at all during the Summer.)
I’d prefer something with an anodized non-stick surface, or just plain stainless steel. A Teflon coated skillet is ok(ish) but for the frying pan I’d rather not have it.
@baqui63
I fear you’ve just made certain they’ll never ever offer anything similar to what you desire.
@baqui63 Not exact, but $20 for an 11" at Ikea.
http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/50292096/
I have the prior version under the 365+ name and can vouch it worked on a portable induction burner.
@baqui63 the Costco set of stainless steel pots/pans from a few years back work on induction burners. the more recent ones, not so much.
super helpful info, right?
what’s the difference between a frying pan and a skillet anyway?
@Yoda_Daenerys I think a frying pan is the same as a skillet, but different than a saute pan, but some people use the terms differently. Via Food Lab: “Unlike a skillet, a sauté pan has tall sides set at a right angle to the base, which makes for a larger bottom surface for searing, better protection against splattering, and plenty of volume. A sauté also features a tighter fitting lid, which makes it great for slow-cooked braises or in-the-oven cooking.”
@HemlockTea @Yoda_Daenerys
Apparently, for relatively shallow round pans, there are skillets and saute pans, the difference being in the the sides of the pan: the sides of a skillet are slanted, while the sides of a saute pan are vertical. Thus for a given pan size (measured by the diameter of the opening at the top of the pan), the saute pan has a larger surface at the bottom.
I’ve always (correctly) called the slant side pans skillets, and I’ve used the term frying pan when I mean a saute pan. However, my usage of the term frying pan for a saute pan is apparently not what most people (?) mean when they say frying pan.
Whatever.
I’m tempted to ask @thumperchick to change my original post to say “saute pan” instead of “frying pan” where it uses the term. But doing this would just confuse things.
Then again, confusion is not always a bad thing…
@narfcake Thanks.
Ikea is a bit of a schlep for me, but I do get out there on occasion and if I am still in need of such a pan when next I am there, I will likely get it.
@f00l Perhaps. Or perhaps they only want you to think that. Or perhaps they only want you to think that they think that (etc.)
@baqui63 I think frying pan can apply to both depending on what type of frying one is doing (Skillet when frying in the style of eggs, grilled cheese, etc., sautee when shallow or deep-fat frying.), and that’s where the multiple usages come from. But I haven’t done a formal linguistic study. I use “skillet” and “sautee pan” when I’m being precise, “frying pan” when the style of cooking doesn’t matter in the conversation (I work with a lot of foodies and trained chefs so I like to be “correct” when necessary).
@HemlockTea Makes sense.
Hey @kalira and @poopfeast420, can one or both of you cunning linguists please do a formal linguistic study of this and get back to us. Please and thank you.
@baqui63 I’m really interested in what kind of focus of research a linguist with the user name “poopfeast420” has XD
@baqui63 i find i am confused a good deal of the time, and no, i did not mistake this for the let’s wine thread
i never differentiate between frying pan and skillet, and saute pan has never been in my vocabulary, until now, so…
–TRAIN!–
@narfcake do you have that ikea? it is nice?
@Yoda_Daenerys I have them from when it was part of the 365+ series. It works fine. I don’t use the larger 11" as often as the 9", since I’m usually just cooking for myself.
The one my folks used was retired after 7 years of almost daily use, which is excellent considering its modest price. They used to have a 5 year warranty, though with the name change, I don’t know that about now.
@baqui63 I think, formally, saute pan and skillet are culinary implements. Frying pan describes either of the above when used as a weapon: eg. “The victim did not want to press charges, but told police his girlfriend had struck him across the head with a frying pan during an argument.”
it seems instead of Woot-Off, the current Meh. plan is to go with the F-Off, and we’ve just had our 12th round of it:
Fukobukuro 12: Morning Addiction
I actually hate woot-offs. Woot would shovel off old stock and usually keep the prices the same as before, with the tiny hint of a deal to come once the current item is gone.
Instead I noticed Meh will cycle through old stock by bringing it back every so often, with the price dropping each time till it’s gone.
TL;DR - I don’t want more woot.com BS in meh.com.
@Bandrik I think there was a time when an item (speaker dock?) was relisted with a higher price.
@Bandrik
Woot-offs were good once.
Before they went bad.
@Bandrik
*except for chromebooks.
Love woot-offs and BOC’s…saw one was here and missed it…
@kathleen1966 My last BOC was pretty good. Actually, very good.
Didn’t it take woot years before doing the first woot-off?
I’m all for a Mehltdown, as long as it’s truly there until it sells out. No auto-timers that just cycle through items every hour or whatever. It’s there until it’s gone and if people want to move it along faster, they’ll have to buy 3.

Okay, I’m trying to figure out the due date (so to speak). If it’s 90 days, do we start counting from 9/15, and if so, isn’t the last day 12/14? So very thoughtful, to have done this with two months that had thirty days so as to make my delicate brain cells not have to work too hard.
Yes, I checked my math. Maybe.

@Thumperchick Bravo! I noticed it was different but I hadn’t realized it was a countdown.
/giphy adios
@snapster Okay, here’s the plan.
(1) On December 14, 2016 plan on having the first ever meh clearance sale (or whatever you want to call it because meh). Make sure the graphics are gaudy enough (If they induce nausea you’re almost there)
(2) Old rule: it’s up until it sells out. (This is important)
(3) At midnight Eastern start it out with the first of 10,000 speaker docks.
(4) In 24 hours stop the event even though you only sold 13 speaker docks.
The first meh version of the woot-off is history. Everyone is happy.
If you really want to break it up than have a fuko make an appearance at 8:08 am. Only sell one.

@melwin Kansas had a promotional slogan/jingle, “Ah, Kansas”, in the '80’s.
Keep in mind that this is only half as bad as the video that lasts a minute.
@Barney Ah, it’s as bad as I remember it. I was born and raised in Kansas and live just a few miles from the southeast corner of the state now.
@Barney Land of Ah’s is in the town where my dad’s family is from, where we go every summer for a bean feed/parade. The place hasn’t changed a bit since I lived there in the early 70s.
@melwin Come to think of it, Kansas hasn’t changed very much since the 70’s.
@Barney The countryside where I grew up has a new name, but doesn’t look a lot different. https://www.nps.gov/tapr/index.htm

@thismyusername You betcha!

you know you were evil to post that Kansas promotional vid.
in retaliation for my still having that tune in my head, i will remind you that Kansas is the place where you get to have both Texas summers and Yukon winters.

@f00l I knew there was a reason that I’m still living here – the ah inspiring climate!
@Barney

@Barney I lived out in the country a few miles east of Tallgrass Prairie, and it was awesome in the winter when we’d get 6 foot snow drifts and I didn’t have to go to school because vehicles couldn’t get through the snow. I miss the quiet of those winters.
@f00l Ah, you remembered.
/giphy Ah Kansas
@melwin We lived in Colorado in the 80’s and whenever we traveled back to Kansas, as soon as we crossed the border, we’d say, “Ah, shit, Kansas!” Yep, I love my home state.
@Barney We used to say the same thing, even when we didn’t go anywhere. This discussion sparked memories of my friends and me making fun of that stupid Ah, Kansas commercial.
One of the best things about Kansas is the lightning storms. With it being so flat and open it is really an impressive site.
@thismyusername Yeah, real impressive until you are under one of 'em. We had a real doozy of a lightning storm this summer that sent me looking for a basement to hide in.

@phatmass
Re Meh and lightning sales.
Whatever the merit (I would possibly find them entertaining if they were rare); it’s quite possible that there is some sort of non-compete and some sort of non-disclosure to go along with the non-compete (re: Amazon).
And those sales may simply not fit the ongoing biz plan and focus.

Evil forces within the universe have subdued me and forced me to serve as Goat.
Please come over to the December blame thread and blame me for something. Long-windedly if you’re up to it.
Right now I’m being @f00lishly wordy all by myself. So very lonesome.
@f00l Congrats/condolences. I’ll try to get over and blame you for some stuff. There’s plenty that someone should take the blame for.
@joelmw
Really need seriously long-winded, and full of circling backs and caveats and qualifiers and exceptions! Sentences that might be 200 words long!
Please! Need my fix!
“meh-a-thon”
@unixrab if you could put yoda in that giphy, i’d be stoked
I still think it should be called a Fuk-Off

So, are you guys SUPER EXCITED about tomorrow OR WHAT!?!? I CAN’T WAIT!!! I already took off work tomorrow. I predict: No sleep + BEST DAY EVER!!!
@phatmass totally excited. I even bought new locks.
/image door deadbolt
@Ignorant I bought a new F5 button!!!
@phatmass
I’m looking forward to tomorrow for other reasons.
@phatmass You will cry when you realize tomorrow’s product will be replacement F5 keys…
@phatmass
Perhaps
@phatmass Well, I get paid tomorrow. So, yes.
/giphy make it rain
@cranky1950 It is really sad that I find that oddly comforting while singing along.
@Pavlov Lawrence Welk, Perry Mason and Saturday Night at the movies every week. God I was so happy to get my drivers license.
@cranky1950 Hard to believe this was a Nielsen top 20 rated show and was actually on twice a week for a while. I’m sure one day they’ll look back at American Idol and Dancing with the Stars and think the same thing.
@cranky1950
@Pavlov
These shows were dog-whistle signals to the kids in our neighborhood.
Time start start fistfights! Make the parents really mad! After a while the parents stopped trying to make the kids watch.
@Pavlov different world, big bands and polka bands still do well on the county fair circuit.
@f00l Parents didn’t make us watch, there was one tv. If it was half way human outside I wasn’t watching tv, but if I was in the house the folks had dibs on the TV so it was either read listen to the radio, or watch this stuff.
I did get to watch College Bowl and Jack Benny though.
@cranky1950
And the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. I saw a lot of the 60’s shows for first seen in the late hours reruns because Dad controled the TV and I was outside doing stuff with my neighborhood friends.
Only 7 hours away from Meh making all our dreams come true!!!

@phatmass I have a feeling that -all- of us are going to be disappointed with the outcome.
@phatmass you gave them until 4:11:23 PM tomorrow chief.
@jbartus You’re being illogical. A Meh-off has to start at midnight. They won’t start it at 4:11:23 PM, obviously. So, when 4:11:23 PM happens, a Meh-off would have to be already going or else they miss their deadline.
@phatmass Well I, for one, will be checking at midnight.
@phatmass I’m just saying that by rights you cannot leave before 4:11:23 PM tomorrow. Otherwise you would be in breach of your own terms and release Meh/Mediocre from any obligation to hold a Meh-off.
@Ignorant
Why would we be disappointed with the outcome?

I thought everybody might like having a Countdown Clock so we all know when to wish @phatmass bon voyage (or good riddance, whichever you prefer)! Here it is:
Countdown Clock
@jbartus
Slightly better than the other clock
@PlacidPenguin that clock was just all kinds of screwed up. This one is more better.
@jbartus That clock says “@phatmass leaves Meh” while it SHOULD say “Meh has it’s first ever Meh-off! (Thanks phatmass!)”
My fear is that they’ll let him stay.
@Pavlov What part of “I’m leaving” didn’t you understand? They won’t have to decide if I can stay or not because I’ll be gone… PAVLOV.
@Pavlov that depends on which option Mediocre thinks would be more amusing, banning him to fulfill his promise/demand/whatever or hoisting him upon his own petard by leaving him here so that we can all make fun of him for it.
@phatmass your statement is contingent upon our buying into your threat to leave.
@jbartus You forgot the option that they will probably do–have a freakin’ Meh-off so they don’t lose me as a customer.
@jbartus
Yeah. Not like @phatmass to ever troll. Oh wait, where was that comment he made where he said trolling the left turn thread was the most fun he’d had online in some time (and yes, I’m paraphrasing).
@phatmass
Okay, PHATMASS. No need to yell about it.
@Pavlov I do find it interesting that he was one of @TwistedLisa’s fans.
@jbartus Damn man . . . well at least you didn’t bump that old thread too! HA!
But yes, I too find that interesting . . .
@Pavlov I only noticed the other day when somebody else bumped it. Thus again my bafflement at being called out for necroing, mine was easily a lesser infraction if, indeed, it was an infraction at all.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jbartus
Re reviving necro-threads and universal justice:
Any excuse to vote you into Goatiness will do.
@phatmass
You really mean this? For real, for sure, cross your heart, promise?
@jbartus that thread should be bumped at least once a year so we never forget.
@Ignorant That thread was my introduction to Meh. Classic!
@sammydog01
Better than my introduction to Meh.
@Pavlov I did not troll that thread. I was one of the only sane ones making sane comments.
TL;DR, how do we know @phatmass is ‘he’
goodbye you, happy woot-offing
@Yoda_Daenerys
Errr…
What kind of proof would you like showing the gender of @phatmass ?
@Yoda_Daenerys I discriminate against none. Everybody is a he unless they specifically indicate that they would like to be denoted as she / it / stealth attack helicopter.
@jbartus please refer to me in the future only as stealth attack helicopter then
@placidpenguin quotes from @phatmass indicating such a thing
i’m not arguing one way or the other
just wondering if our ‘implicit bias’ assumes this stand off / threat / demand / ultimatum is a
/youtube male thing
/image male thing

male thing
Ira! where you been?
@Yoda_Daenerys if I honestly thought you were being sincere I guess I would, but since I’m 99.87% sure you were just being cheeky, pass.
@Yoda_Daenerys
Ok, I changed my name from @FroodyFrog because I wanted to.
I changed my name from @TickledLizard due to fraudulent voting where someone (later discovered to be @Ignorant) imitated my name.
I really like penguins,which is why before I created this username, I took care of @PIacidPenguin (with an upper case i).
Anyways, I don’t really care that much for flamingos, and even if I did, the next letter would not be f.
@PlacidPenguin I once posted a video of me making Sushi in my Meh apron. Also one of me drinking a disgusting Meh mixed drink. In both videos, I am a man. I also have a greater beard now as well.
@phatmass
That works.
@Yoda_Whatever_Your_Username_Is
@Yoda_WhateverYourUsernameIs
Is this good enough proof for you?
@PlacidPenguin that would be @Yoda_Daenerys
@jbartus oh, toats mcGoats sincere, but only for you, no one else
@PlacidPenguin proof enough, and goodbye again to mr. fat ass
@Yoda_Daenerys again, not buying it.
@jbartus ok, you got me, just call me lincoln
@PlacidPenguin you are responding to PhantomPost, me thinks
/youtube feeling cheeky
@f00l, maybe you can direct me to the correct topic to be in tonight?
@Yoda_Daenerys Yugo it is.
@jbartus uhhh… wat?
@Yoda_Daenerys
Lincoln = Car Brand
Yugo = Lesser Car Brand
@Yoda_Daenerys
@f00l is ashamed not
To be here with the best and
Correctest topic
Ready for the one
Great @Yoda_Daenerys whose
name cannot be spelt.
@f00l he who spelt it, dealt it
@jbartus ah, i was thinking
lincoln = log
trump = lesser log
@Yoda_Daenerys
NA NA NA
You spelt it first. I saw!!!
@Yoda_Daenerys
@phatmass
If you leave you will be missed. Good God how boring this place would be if everyone agreed with everything everyone thought, said, or felt. And all of us troll at some point, except me of course.
So from me; please reconsider and stay. If @snapster thought the circuit breaker was a good idea he’ll someday give a Mehmorabilia Sale a try. You need to be here to see it happen.
And in the spirit of pulling you guys together as one: Isn’t Trump Great?
@Mehrocco_Mole great finishing line
i think i can hear crickets outside, even though it is below zero F
@Phatmass
Hmmmm …
How’s stuff?
Wither thou?
@f00l don’t worry, he still has 16 hours, 3 minutes and change!
@jbartus
But apparently no Meh_Off as cover for staying.
@f00l mayhap they will surprise him after the 4:00 VMP stock goes away?
@jbartus
Remember I also threatened to leave if I wasn’t a centimillionaire by now.
But I gave myself an out by insisting I might stick around and whine about it.
@snapster, do I get to be a centimillionaire today, or do I up my whining?
https://meh.com/forum/topics/you-have-90-days-meh-or-i-am-leaving#57db757fad7e586405339d91
Or do i just go with the “senior option” and forget or pretend to forget I made the plea/threat?
cause, ya know, embarassing
/image “Monopoly money”
Bye bye my friend!
/giphy destroy
You know what? I forgot to say “Starting now”. No wonder Meh didn’t respond! TOTALLY MY FAULT GUYS!!!
So, Meh, you have exactly 90 days to give us a “Meh-off”. If you do not get this done in 90 days, I am leaving.
90 days Meh… STARTING NOW.
@phatmass
And that wasn’t expected by anyone.
Never saw it coming. Wow!
/giphy wow
@phatmass What a yutz.
@phatmass
I’ll buy it.
@phatmass congratulations, you met everybody’s expectations!
@phatmass
/giphy plot twist
@phatmass
/giphy BANNED!
Just a reminder that yesterday’s Meh-rathon was because of this thread. Yeah, so they are slow, but alas, my demands were met, albeit untimely. YOU’RE WELCOME SUCKERS.
@phatmass but it’s been more than 90 days. WHY ARE YOU HERE?? i’ve lost the respect i had for you.
@carl669
/youtube lost what i never had
@carl669 this makes me feel really bad about myself.
