I came home today to a very securely duct-taped parcel that clinked a bit. Fortunately, nothing was broken. Soooo,
May I take this moment to thank The Mighty Tiki God for gifting me with:
A little square glass container with a lid - exactly like one I just sold in my yard sale - lucky me
Half a calendar (Mad Gab - “It’s not what you say, it’s what you HEAR!”
A miniature Tinky-Winky… I’m speechless
A temporary tattoo that says “Special” - how sweet of you to notice!!
Two bottle caps - which, on close inspection are good for 2 free Sprites - my darling offspring happens to live Sprite
and last but not least - a Tiki God candle - it’s really neat!! I like that a lot!
In the included note, I read: “I sent probably half the stuff from my apartment to you” Golly gee - I hate to think of you in a half empty apartment… would you like Tinky-Winky back??
Your welcome for the cra… errr wonderful highly prized items I sent you Sorry 'bout the duct tape thing. Took me longer to do that than it did to find everything.
[sub]Heck here I was thinking I was probably one of the last Dopers to send something. You procrastinators better get a movin’! [sub]
Wow! I got my elephant in the mail today.
It was very exciting to open, not knowing what could be inside,
the anticipation had my heart beating fast (hey, I’m easily amused).
I’d like to thank Callie for her gifts, they aren’t just everyday crap, but extraordinary crap!
#1. The Shrimper, As Seen On TV; Deveins and peels shrimp in seconds flat. Neat, if I can afford
to buy shrimp someday, it will be useful.
#2. a Cheese Mill; You can also grate Candy and/or Nuts. Again, it could be useful one day.
#3. My favorite of all, a Partially Completed Latch Hook Kit, with colorful pansies.
You know that might be fun to do, and I’ve always been curious about that craft.
Problem is, what do you do with the completed latch hook rug?
Hey, out of curiosity, have you ever used them and how long have you had these items?
Thank you again Callie. I hope you get something neat like I did, (no, really, no sarcasm).
You are so very very welcome Pink Kitten. I was wondering when you would get it - I mailed it last Monday.
I got the latch hook rug thingy just three months ago. I hadn’t seen one since I was little and since I was trying to quit smoking I thought that that would be a good way to keep my hands busy. So, I did an entire one the first day I quit. The one I sent you, well, that one just didn’t hold my interest. I guess you can hang it up on the wall if when you get it finished. (heehee) I’m sure it will be oh so pretty. Let me know WHEN you finish it. The one I finished is now sitting in a drawer - its of a peace sign and its quite a bit smaller than the lovely one I sent you.
As for the other cra…stuff - I couldn’t even figure out what that Cheese Mill thing was or how it worked… Its never been used. And “The Shrimper” didn’t work -you can just imagine my surprise about that… But I’m sure it will work for you.
Uhh… me and Tinky-Winky were close but we had a falling out. He racked up my credit card to it’s $1000 limit, impregnated my girlfriend, and ran off to the Bahamas with my car. You try calming him down.
** A crab shaped magnet from a chicken restaurant**: It also doubles as a bottle opener and a letter opener!
A t-shirt from a Korean beer company: Something new to wear! YAY!
A Groovy Guide to Bangkok by Night: Really handy, if I should ever make it to Bangkok.
An ear pick: Hmmm… at least it’s still in the plastic!
Money from Malaysia: Funky… I got money!!! Nyah nyah nyah!!!
A set of Grateful Dead Christmas lights: Oh, Astroboy, how did you know???
Two cds of funky Korean music: Well, ok… I’m scared to listen to it!!!
A hand operated clothes shaver: Now I can finally get all the nubbies off my sweaters…
A walrus shaped water gun: Hours of fun with the cats, right there…
I think that was all that was in there… I am doing this at work from memory, so if I forgot something, sorry. Thanks Astroboy!!! It’s uhh… interesting! That’s the ticket!!
Skerri, who is going home to get the christmas lights to put in her office!
By the way, I am sending my package off after tomorrow, when I get paid. So my lucky person will get it next week, knowing how the mail goes…
I had a package waiting for me last night. Missus Coder and Ralf Jr were trying to figure out who we knew named Jeffro. I explained as I was shredding the packaging, and found…
a gizmo to connect to a scanner, so I can scan my slides. Well, I don’t shoot slides any more, but thank you anyway, Jeffro.
And Skerry and Astroboy: Grateful Dead Christmas Lights? Wow…
but extraordinary crap!
