Apparently the Board ate last week’s post from me.
I got a Sunflower shotglass, sunflower coffee mug, sunflower magnet, Kansas BBQ sauce and an ear of corn.
So by my count, the following people have received their packages:
Baker
silenus
deedeeknowit
missred
FairyChatMom
Sicks Ate
dogbutler
That leaves feppytweed, Sir T-Cups, zoid, Teuton and Lancia as “still waiting.” I know one of those should have gotten something from me by now. As for the others, if you haven’t sent it off yet, let us know so people aren’t anxiously checking the mails every day.
I have assembled my package but I haven’t yet, when you get right down to it, sent it off. I’ll get it done this weekend.
From baker perhaps? ![]()
Yep.![]()
I apologize for being absent in the thread - I had a personal issue. That being said, if you live in Orlando and have not received your package fear not - it’s on the way.
Second order of business…Holy Crap silenus! Talk about going above and beyond the call of duty!
The package had a whole theme - Aliens (the outer space kind)! In addition to a major cool alien shotglass with a carabiner and some quaffables, there were both human and canine snacks, a comic book, and the piece de resistance - a BITCHIN’ green Alien figure! You out did yourself!
You’re one to talk! I came into my mailbox yesterday with a wonderfully full box from the Second City itself! My goodies are especially fun because before living here I used to live in Indiana and Mrs. Cups was from just outside of Milwaukee, so we (she especially) have fond memories of Chicago. My goodies included:
One (1) Chicago Cubs shotglass (As a Brewers fan I’ll have to let it pass because at least it’s not the Cardinals!)
One (1) Chicago-flag-themed cocktail glass
One (1) jar of delicious peppers. (This will go great with a spicy au jous pork shoulder recipie we use!)
Three (3) chocolate mint bars
One (1) Chicago Transit Authority magnet
and, finally, my personal favorite, One (1) CTA umbrella! We’re getting into rainy season and this couldn’t be a more perfect gift!
Thanks so so so much!
Glad you liked it! ![]()
I have got a package from Oregon! Containing not one, but 2 (count 'em) shot glasses and a mug, and also a rubber fridge magnet that I have already stuck to the fridge.
My own package, being sent to California, is now on its way across the Atlantic.
Glad you liked it. The theme hit me one day while driving past Alien Jerky in Baker, CA.
Yay! I’m glad you liked it. My son helped me pick out the swag.
Teuton, I think you used the wrong address for your package. deedeeknowit just got a package from the UK that we assume is from you. I think your person was Lancia. So…Lancia, if you will PM me your address, dee and I will get you a package off to you this week. That way everybody wins.
I just emailed you silenus.
Oh, god, sorry, my fault. I checked the PMs for the address rather than email, and my last PM was from the previous shot glass exchange, when I did send to you guys!
I’ve been on a road trip visiting family for the past 10 days or so. I just got home last night to find a package from silenus on the porch.
In it was the original goodies from Teuton, plus a few more. There’s a Goonies t-shirt, a Union Jack keychain and pencil holder, a bottle of Jameson and a bottle of Maker’s Mark, a couple of pens, and a few other goodies. And of course the shot glass! It says “Life’s a Breeze When You Are By the Sea.” I made out like a bandit this year!
Thanks, Teuton and silenus!
I’m glad it finally made it to the right place!
I’ve been more careful with my postcards…
I drank the Jack Daniels slowly. This evening I emptied the last, in a good whiskey sour recipe I found online. Thanks again **missred!![]()
