Thanks Hastur!!!
Am I the first? Oh man, I’m so excited. I got home today from work and there, in the lobby, under the mailboxes, was The Box. I almost peed myself I was so excited to get it upstairs and open it.
But no. I called my friend to come over for a beer and watch me open it, after explaining what the heck the White Elephant swap was. And then, with due reverence, we opened it.
Well. All I have to say is that HASTUR has some pretty primo stuff he’s passing off as junk. In the box there was:
– An Erma Bombeck cassette tape
– Two videos: Superman and Babysitters Cartoon Bonanza
– An old cassette Walkman
– A tin of “Kama Sutra Oil of Love,” empty (damn)
– A blue light bulb (burnt out)
– A Dilbert doll
– Three books (including Necronomicron- already read it, maybe I’ll donate it to my church)
– An 8-track tape of a band I have never heard of (Kraftwerk? Who?)
– A Superman pouch thong (greeted with shrieks of laughter and delight by my friend, who immediately seized it to take home to his boyfriend)
– A Sega NFL '95 cartridge
– Two action-figure dolls (one male, one female) of . . . um, well, superheros, I frankly don’t know who
– Hollywouldn’t – A Queer Postcard Book, which I loved (great images)
– Condoms (what care package is complete without them?)
– Bunches of other good stuff I don’t have time to type in.
It was a LOT of stuff! And it was GOOD stuff!
Oh, wait, there was one more thing: A red appliance thingy of some variety that says “Maiker” on the side. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s a naughty appliance but, HASTUR, what is it?
HASTUR, thank you SO much. It was a blast to open and has given me (and my friend) great entertainment.
Y’all better be getting some pretty fine stuff to beat the stuff I got.
