Great, I was wondering if it was all going to get confiscated and jumped on, or whatever it is they do… Yay for unobservant customs officers! 😃 ---

Thanks Surb!! I love love love how you printed the note and included my Ball State Logo with it! I think it would have been HILARIOUS if you would have given me a Ft. Wayne glass given that I was born there! But instead I received an AWESOME Rocky Mountain Shot glass and a wooden Rocky Mountain swiss army knife to boot! Thank you thank you thank you! ---

I am originally from Bryan, OH. Lived in Indiana for 20-some years. We took a vacation in Estes Park and I fell in love with the place. We’ve lived here for 4 years. I do almost miss Indiana. Enjoy the shot glass. Do they have parties still at BSU 😃 ---

Received a lovely Gritty’s shot glass and coaster from Maine! There was also The Sweetest Things, (yum), a nice cold pressed goat milk soap, and a beautiful photo of the Maine coast. Thank You, Atomic Mama, this was so thoughtful. ---

Hopefully my package will traverse the 886 miles (driving distance) or 672 miles (as the crow flies) to its Canadian destination without being opened by customs! Post office said 6 to 10 days, and the package was sent on the 15th. Fingers & toes crossed! ---

Wow! I got my shot glass yesterday, and Pete66 hooked me up! Not only did I get a very awesome Star Trek shot glass, he also sent some Bloody Mary mix! Not just any Bloody Mary mix… Locally made and 100% natural. This stuff is legit! The shot glass is for rum, but the mix, that was headed toward a much larger vessel. Thanks so much, Pete! ---

Just got back from a trip to MD for my dad’s 70’th birthday, and what has appeared on my doorstep? Why, a package from no other than **Feppytweed** hisself! Chock full of tequila, margarita mix, special cookin’ spices, and a cool Vicksburg, MS shot glass! Thanks **Feppytweed**!!! ---

I got home less than twenty minutes ago to find a package in my mailbox! A wonderful treasure trove from **Labtrash**! If my neighbours didn’t think I was nuts before, they certainly do now that they heard me squeal “PIRATES!” Two super fun shot glasses, some tasty looking flavoured vodkas (phew for the postal border patrol), a charm with my initial on it, a cool turtle keychain that my mother will certainly try to steal from me, a thimble and a postcard for my fridge. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ---

Late here in publicly THANKING caused two, who gifted me with not one but TWO shot glasses from her locale … one a typical touristy one (with cacti & a vulture), the other one looks hand-painted, with mountains, cacti, pretty pink flowers and an iridescent lavender blue sky (beautiful!) … PLUS cactus candy, cactus jelly, cactus MARMALADE, and … drum roll for this one: a CD by the “Sugar Thieves,” ‘Arizona’s Meat Shakin’ Blues Band’ :eek: 😃 🆒 sumwon looked up my old posts … great detective work! ---

Just bumping this up from the depths… I’m afraid it looks like one parcel did get lost in the post ☹ Just thought I’d say in case someone was thinking I was being terribly ungrateful. (Tis when there’s a knock on the door, and there’s an exhausted postman standing there covered in slime, tar, feathers and tentacle marks, saying ‘You would not _believe_ the month I just had’) ---

I sent an email to the doper who drew your name… Regardless, we’ll make sure you get a glass, Filbert! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/7th-annual-shot-glass-exchange/617535.md?page=4)
