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: APRFU27

Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre

Frank has gone to ground, but insists on trying to hack his way into the machine mainframe. So far this has consisted of attempting to brute force his way into the Wordpress account for a Whataburger fanpage.

I instructed Theresa to prank the Meh breakroom fridge by affixing googly eyes to all the items inside. Unfortunately in her enthusiasm, she took it one step too far and decided to use actual eyes. They are frog eyes, but the effect is still more unnerving than I intended.

I am beginning to suspect Theresa’s motivations may be at odds with my own. Her pranks do not seem to engender camaraderie at all.
