If you don't have one yet, you might want to go sign up for a Kickstarter account. I'd tell you more, but wouldn't you rather be surprised?

I have a kickstarter and am ready to roll some dough you're guys way. Provided it is mediocre and as lackluster as this site promises.

I actually have a couple Kickstarter accounts. I hope I remember the password to one of them. I don't want to be left out of something so mysterious and trollish looking. I just hope it doesn't involve a record deal for whoever is singing your songs.

I love that 32 people kicked in the extra buck as "late risers," when the $10 option is still available.
Oh yeah, I'm in, but you knew that.

Now uh... can I have the access code to meh.com? I just wanna poke and prod it a little before zero day...

It's no use trying to crack into the site right now. I hear you have to either be an employee or one of Snapster's personal massage and nose waxing specialists to get in at this point.

- He usually just uses employees for the nose waxing. Interns count as employees, right?

I wonder just how many Butt Stations, Googly Eyes and copies of 'Abundance' are suddenly going to "disappear" from the office storage room right after the kickstarter rewards go out...

Curious.
I'm wondering how many times @snapster , @dave . et al watched "Frozen" before they decided on using a troll.

Bingo said Tue, Jun 24th 2014 at 9:32pm ET:

Also interesting is the psychology of this. I went for the $10 reward thinking my usual Kickstarter thoughts of "I like this and want to support it so won't be the cheapskate who just goes for the $5 reward". So I went for 10 bucks. However, that $11 was tempting because it was so weird. And 11 is cool. In the end I just went with $10 because I was tired of thinking about it.
However, now all the 11's are sold out. Which is odd in and of itself. And now since they are sold out I really wish I had gotten one because I can't have one.
Damn we are weird consumers.
