…along with some CD-RWs and some jewel boxes and some other sealed, unopened computer-related stuff that I thought I once might have needed that is only going to stay in a box accumulating dust in my new house… …are all things that I will stick in a box and ship to you, in exchange for a (one size fits all) cap and (size large) t-shirt from your town’s minor-league baseball team. This stuff has to be into the stream of interstate commerce by one week from today, because that is when I depart Boston for the sunny climes of LA. Is anyone game? [mods, I placed this here rather than in MPSIMS because I figured more people in this forum would know WTF I was talking about- please feel free to move if circumstances warrant.] ---

Should have been patient, and made some White Elephanter REALLY happy in a few months. ---

You know, that’s an excellent point. If nobody snaps it up now, maybe I’ll just stick it in a box labeled “white elephant” until then. ---

_sigh_ I love _Escape From Monkey Island_. And yet, we have no minor league baseball team. ---

I would love to play Escape from Monkey Island; the other games sound good, too. How would you like a Chillicothe Paints shirt and hat? ---

You know, thats actually a pretty good deal… I might just be interested, and since I just moved to Savannah, GA. there is actually a minor league team here. The Savannah Sandgnats, a Mets single A affiliate. To tell the truth, I just want the fallout games, I don’t own them, and I always wanted to (thats not saying I haven’t played them, I just don’t own them). The only problem is that their next home game isn’t till next weekend. Would you accept a longer delivery time? ---

[/QUOTE] Actually, I think the place that sells Paints stuff is closed tomorrow and I work twelves all week, so nevermind. It would be too long before I could get the stuff and mail it. ---

In that case, **Hirka** , you’ve got yourself a deal. And for the Mets, no less. Give me a PM and let me know where you want it shipped. ---

**Happy Scrappy Hero Pup** Just so you know I sent you a PM with my address. I don’t know if it notifies you when you receive one, so I thought to just post here and let you know. ---

Sorry, dude. CA bar exam this week. Stuff is in my car. I have everything but Civ3. If I can’t find it when I unpack, I’ll send Civ4 instead. Also found a copy of Hitman that may or may not work that I tossed in. I’ll be back in NYC on Monday, when I will mail everything out, including my new address. Sorry for the holdup. ---
