I’m asking this because I owe TVeblen a 4-pack of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. How can I get it to her? ---

I think you can just mail it to the Chicago Reader and Ed will slip the uneaten portion under the cage door. ---

Seriously, though, C/O the Reader probably isn’t the way to go, except for Ed or Cecil Himself. Most of us aren’t in Chicago, and it’d be a hassle for the Reader to forward it, if they did at all. You’re probably going to have to discuss this with **TVeblen** personally, via e-mail. ---

Send it straight to Cecil marked with “What’s the third word that ends in -gry?” 1 of 2 things will happen. 1. It’ll be promptly forwarded to Veb. or 1. It’ll be promptly forwarded up your bum. Oh, and don’t talk about how Cecil looks like Bruce Vilanch. ---

**Albert Rose** , you a gent and a mensch! (And you have a memory like an elephant: I’d long forgotten this.) **Bottle of Smoke** : Ha! Do you honestly think ANY goodies survive to be tossed into our cages? Not a chance, bucko. We’re lucky if they hose out our cages and toss in a handful of Mod Chow or maybe a few troll pellets for a treat. **Chronos** : You mean most goodies don’t go to Dope Central? I figured the only way we keep Jerry The Wizard on staff is by skimming chocolates bound for Lynn. **Mercutio** : Sheesh, this is _Cecil_ you’re dissing. If a package comes for you marked from The Reader bet it won’t be a mug. Note: I asked Albert not to mail the goodies, as they’d probably melt anyway. I’d rather he noshed down the Reece’s cups in my name or buy dog yummies to treat a few strays instead. Veb ---

Wow. You guys get Mod Chow now? That’s pretty cool. I heard that in the old days Ed just threw in the leftover table scraps that couldn’t go in the compost bin. They must’ve received a warning letter from OSHA or the ASPCA or something. ---

Is anyone else disturbed that **Veb** listed everyone’s name in alphabetical order? I guess being obsessive-compulsive is compulsory behavior to be a Mod, huh? 🙂 [Heck, even the “Note” is in order…] ---

Godiva allows email gift certificates. I know they work because one mod sent a thank you. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dantheman \* > **Is anyone else disturbed that Veb listed everyone’s name in alphabetical order?

Though I’m sure it warmed her li’l librarian heart that they were kind enough to post in alphabetical order–and, if you will observe, the next sequence of posters is also in alpha order. Coincidence? You decide. ---

Just posting to prove there really isn’t an Alphabet Conspiracy. 😃 ---
