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: APRFU28

Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre

The latest prank was supposed to be simple: affix acrylic paint to the windshield wipers of coworker Matt’s vehicle. Upon activating his wipers, he would be greeted by a happy rainbow. The aesthetic choice of a rainbow coupled with the easy removal of the paint from the glass should have made for an easy prank.

Unfortunately Matt is not known for his regimented vehicle maintenance schedule. As such, his wipers did not produce a rainbow but instead simply smeared a motley across his windshield, obscuring his vision.

Matt’s vehicle struck a septic vacuum truck.

The ensuing flood of sewage obscured his vision further, and most likely permanently.

I did not bother revealing myself as the prankster.
