[Just got my most recent IRK, and my hypothesis that the length of delivery deferral is directly proportional to size/ awesomeness of the IRK? Has not been substantiated. I would like a refund, as my regret was delayed a week… @Troy, if you could please credit me $0?
Current hypothesis (and as yet undisproven theory): FedEx just sucks. And so does UPS, but that’s another story. USPS is fighting uphill with a boulder chained to each ankle and still smoking both.]
I had to go in for some monitoring at the hospital today and the technician saw my tattoo and asked if i was in a science field due to my flask tattoo. Then i had to explain… no i did it to get mystery boxes
@f00l The one I am wearing in the photo is supposed to have a 10 year battery in it. Not sure I’m going to last that long, but I’m willing to find out.
Various grasses (hasn’t frozen enough to kill all that yet)
New blankets and couch throws that prob just need a few washings
The Big One:
Cedar/juniper endemic to central Texas and the hill country that pollinates Nov-March and the pollen stuffs half of San Antonio into respiratory distress and then blows north to torment me and @therealjrn
(One of the few tress around here that pollinates in winter)
/youtube texas juniper pollen
On bad days the juniper/cedar (people can’t decide what it’s called during informal cursing sessions) pollen is so thick that you’d think you were watching thick smoke from a fire, except that the pollen is yellowish.

One year a decade or so ago I couldn’t go outside in January without my eyes going totally bloodshot and itching so badly I couldn’t stand it.
That’s on top of skin swelling and itching (esp around sinuses and eyes) and (the worst part) not being able to breathe.
And headaches. (The cherry on top)
That year there were headlines about respiratory centers and ER’s in San Antonio and Austin being overwhelmed with people who have much worse responses to the pollen than I do.
Some people had to go on respirators.
I’m hoping this will be a mild year for that pollen.
@brainmist When I created the spreadsheet of who all has them (around the time we added the badge) I wrote down where they were located so I could make sure the pictures matched what we knew of the tattoos. I still have it around here somewhere, but I don’t know that everyone would want me posting it.
@brainmist I guess I can post what I sorted out without calling any specific person out. Here’s a list of all 32 that exist. Fun fact, we’ve never had all 32 show up in one thread. We did get 31 once though.
Tattoo design and known location
“meh.” on left shoulder?
cracked flask on ankle?
“meh.” on left wrist
cracked flask and “meh.” on leg?
bubble flask on ankle
Glen saying “meh.” on lower leg

Irk outline on right shoulder

So I crawled out from under a rock this year. Really more like this summer. I must have been pretty snug under that boulder bc I loved woot for years. I think I started shopping it in like 2008. But it lost its flair and I figured gone were the day.
I stumble onto this site through brads deals and bought something but didn’t even notice it was a daily thing. Circled back and some point and was like omg this is great - read the backstory and was like OMG WHERE TF HAVE I BEEN
Anyway, just wanted to say idk what made you all get these tattoos, but they are super cute and I love that you guys have that. I pop in here every so often and comment. It’s such a kind community and you guys usually make me laugh when I creep the forum. So ty for that too
@brainmist@roachy awwweeee, thank you! Meh has def become an identity for us and I’m super proud to be able to sport it! It’s my motto and a way of life even.
The free stuff isn’t too bad either, lol!
I just realized, it’s now turned into a decade of Mehsomeness and VMP greatness for me! I started my mediocre journey and on 12/3/2015 with a refurbished crockpot…a crockpot I still have and use regularly even!
I ticked the VMP box, instead paying for shipping, as I figured, why not, I’ll keep an eye on the place and just get free shipping for the month on anything else I get and then cancel…I had no idea what I’d gotten myself into!
Kept the VMP, fell in love with the community, became obsessed with IRKs and finally tattooed in what was a fun adventure with my daughter (we got them together).
I too have too many shirts to count…a bunch still in packaging. I still sleep with my Meh pillow and have a couple backups for when it wears out. I have nearly 100 IRK bags, if not more, and I’ve given a ton of them away even, lol.
Life circumstances are such that I, unfortunately, can’t be as active as I used to be…but, I do lurk as much as I can and have no desire to end this mediocre adventure anytime soon.
@roachy Glad you decided to risk joining in! I got here late (2019) and ignored the forum at first, but got drawn in by the humor initially. Lots of sharp wits and goofballs here. And then got to know people, and caught the Meh bug, bought the Irk stuffie, got the tattoo when they said “This is it, your last chance!”
And now they can’t get rid of me or shut me up. But it’s true, there are so many really nice people hanging out here. I’m not on Farcebook or Xitter, who needs those!
Happy irk for Irkmas day. Thanks @extramedium
@cbilyak
Easy for YOU to say!
With your ink on your ankle!
@Kyeh
@Kyeh Well-played.
Thanks, Meh! Happy IRKmas!
Merry Xmas inksters! Thank you meh!
Mehrry IRKmas to all, and to all a good night.
And meh IRK us, every one!

Thank you @extramedium and @thumperchick !

@mbersiam Were they baffled by that?
@Kyeh yeah it was an awkward conversation but I definitely dropped meh.com name so they got their shout out
Mehmas, the most wonderful time of the year.
@Barney Purple ink!
@therealjrn Yep!
@Barney @therealjrn
Casio watches are awesome.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@f00l Casio watches are also cheap.
@Barney
And they tend to work. For not a short time.
@f00l The one I am wearing in the photo is supposed to have a 10 year battery in it. Not sure I’m going to last that long, but I’m willing to find out.
@Barney
You may get 20 years out if it.
Ribbit!
@QueenAxolotl I think your hand is on upside down! Has it been like that for long?
@QueenAxolotl @therealjrn all her life!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good meh-rathon!
Thanks meh and @ExtraMedium!
Thanks & Mehrry Christmas!
@Kyeh aw, you gave him a little festive sweater! That’s just darling.
@Kyeh
/giphy “way too cute”
@f00l Apologies
@f00l
@f00l
Well finally. Ok done.
/giphy done
@f00l What did you do? Did you run down to Fotomat to get some prints so you could write on them?
@therealjrn
iPhone magic even a clueless person (self) can kinda perform
Getting pix for this
Hold on a min
@therealjrn
That takes me to the photo edit options
@therealjrn
That takes me to the write/draw on photo option
@f00l I liked it better thinking of you trundling to the Fotomat.
@therealjrn
Ha ha ha “me running”
Or “trundling”
Today my allergies rule the universe. Can barely breathe
—
I’m filled with self-pity today so as to free up everyone else from offering sympathy
@f00l @therealjrn What’s the allergen right now?
@Kyeh @therealjrn
Allergens I know of at the moment:
Various grasses (hasn’t frozen enough to kill all that yet)
New blankets and couch throws that prob just need a few washings
The Big One:
Cedar/juniper endemic to central Texas and the hill country that pollinates Nov-March and the pollen stuffs half of San Antonio into respiratory distress and then blows north to torment me and @therealjrn
(One of the few tress around here that pollinates in winter)
/youtube texas juniper pollen
On bad days the juniper/cedar (people can’t decide what it’s called during informal cursing sessions) pollen is so thick that you’d think you were watching thick smoke from a fire, except that the pollen is yellowish.
@f00l @therealjrn OMG! No wonder you’re feeling it. Occasionally in the spring I find a dusting of yellow pollen on my car but that’s crazy!
@f00l @Kyeh
She ain’t lying.
@Kyeh @therealjrn
One year a decade or so ago I couldn’t go outside in January without my eyes going totally bloodshot and itching so badly I couldn’t stand it.

@f00l @therealjrn Yuuuck! I hope it will too, that’s scary.
@f00l @Kyeh @therealjrn and this is why I live where the wind hurts my face and deal with corn sweat humidity in the summer
My skin didn’t want to be written on, and it was upside down to me. But I can read it.
Merry Christmas to all!
Thanks, meh!
Ugh! I almost forgot!
@gogrrl psst. you dated it October 10th
@therealjrn ugh again!
Thank you Meh! I took the photo on a break and just now posting it.
@gr8mick1 Happy birthday to Skye!
@gr8mick1
/showme Happy Birthday Skye!
@gr8mick1 @Kyeh jinx
@mediocrebot eh…irthday…irkday…whatever ¯\(ツ)/¯
Wow. This time not only almost late, but couldn’t find the thread for a bit.
Thank you for the IRK for INK.
I kinda want to see a poll of where people positioned their meh tattoos.
@brainmist When I created the spreadsheet of who all has them (around the time we added the badge) I wrote down where they were located so I could make sure the pictures matched what we knew of the tattoos.

@roachy lol, I think most of us were influenced by the threat of free stuff, but also meh-ness (I have no idea how meh shirts I have, but it’s a lot).
Personally? I think @phrog’s frog is the cutest.
@brainmist @roachy awwweeee, thank you! Meh has def become an identity for us and I’m super proud to be able to sport it! It’s my motto and a way of life even.

I just realized, it’s now turned into a decade of Mehsomeness and VMP greatness for me! I started my mediocre journey and on 12/3/2015 with a refurbished crockpot…a crockpot I still have and use regularly even!
