Fukobukuro 19: Fools Rush In

  • This is a Fukobukuro, an unlucky bag
  • That means it’s filled with worthless junk you wouldn’t buy knowingly, and you shouldn’t buy it sight unseen either
  • We used to sell the same sort of thing as a “Fukubukuro”, or “lucky bag”, but the contents couldn’t live up to the name
  • Before that, we used to sell the same sort of thing as a “BoC” (Bag of Crap) at Woot, but someone else runs that business now
  • Long before that, you got your Japanese custom of Fukubukuro dating to the Meiji period, but all we really know about that is what’s on Wikipedia
  • ONLY BUY ONE. Multiple orders will be canceled.
  • (Or buy zero, if you’re smart.)
  • Model: APRFU10

Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre

THERESA HAS DESCRIBED TO ME THE IDEA OF A “GLITTER BOMB.”

IT IS A HIGHLY ANNOYING PRANK INVOLVING FILLING THE AIR INTAKE ON A COWORKER’S AUTOMOBILE WITH GLITTER.

THE POTENTIAL FOR COWORKER BONDING ARISES IN OFFERING TO HELP CLEAN AND/OR REPLACE THE COWORKER’S VEHICLE AFTER THE GLITTER BOMB HAS BEEN DETONATED.

FOR MAXIMUM GLITTERING EFFECT I HAVE AEROSOLIZED SILICA DOWN TO A PARTICLE SIZE OF 3 μm AND FILLED OUR COWORKER DAVID’S FURNACE.

THERESA HAS RIGGED DAVID’S THERMOSTAT TO ENSURE THE FURNACE WILL FIRE AT 6:15AM TOMORROW MORNING.

WE WILL REPORT THE RESULTS OF THE PRANK AND OUR ATTEMPTS AT BONDING VIA APOLOGY/CLEANUP TOMORROW.

DAVID WAS FOUND ASPHYXIATED IN HIS BED. THERESA HAS DUBBED THE PRANK A SUCCESS, BUT I HAVE FAILED TO BOND WITH COWORKER DAVID.
