I’ve sent mine off on Friday, but it’s crossing the pond so it may take a few days!

Mine should be delivered tomorrow.

Here are the four glasses I received:

Baileys floating in bourbon. I’ve got it in the fridge and will pour another one tonight. It should sit suspended in the bourbon like a little embryo.

I think the boot needs an airplant and a home on the shelf.

So glad it was well received! What with all the merch others (read, you) were sending, I was beginning to feel like a piker!

**romansperson** , Thank You! Everything arrived intact and I love the bottle opener.

I received not one but TWO, shot glasses (One with the alcohol molecule on it and one from the TOPO Distillery which looks like a fun place to visit!)and a bottle opener/screwdriver keychain along with an explanatory note. I will snap a pic when I have a moment and christen them tonight!

Thank you again!

I’ve been delayed in shipping mine out but it will be in the post tonight after work and it’ll be off across the Pond!

Thanks, **BeeGee**! I received a wonderfully weird assortment of goodies (and I love weird!): two shot glasses, one with a little alien on it; a Frankenstein finger puppet; a Willie [Nelson] for President coaster; and a couple more things. The box was covered with owl stickers and seeing it made me smile at the end of a cruddy day. Much appreciated!

I, um, haven’t sent mine yet, but I’ll finish my shopping tomorrow.

The USPS has been busy! Everyone is getting cool stuff!

So far I have on my sent / receive list:

**Silenus** --\>  
**Romansperson** –\> **swampspruce**  
**Czarcasm** --\> **BeeGee**  
**Labdad** --\> **deedeeknowit**

**Teuton** --\>  
**BeeGee** --\> **Inter Alia**  
–\> **dogbutler**  
**Baker** --\>

People who have posted that they’re working on their packages but haven’t sent them yet:

**Sicks Ate**  
**Swampspruce**  
**Zoid**  
**Lancia** , who hasn’t posted that he’s working on it but really is  
**Inter Alia**

(Hopefully all of the above is correct, I haven’t figured out a good way to track all this other than a hand-drawn flowchart on a legal pad. But I _think_ it’s correct.)

**dogbutler** , did you ever get around to opening your package?

Two people haven’t commented since I mailed out the names & addresses, but neither are flakes so I’m not worried.

* * *

On a personal note, my MA thesis is due Sunday night. I’m pretty much going to be lost in Word and a stack of books between now and then, so I’ll likely be MIA until Monday. I’d ask for y’alls thoughts and prayers because after 18 months I still don’t feel like this fucking thing is ready for submission, but we’ve seen how well those don’t work so maybe you can wish me luck with a toast using your new shot glasses.

Lamest excuse EVER, but my son used up every box in the house over the weekend making forts and armor… so if I don’t get anything from Amazon today I’ll bite the bullet and just buy a padded envelope. 🙂

No, my excuse was lamest, back a ways when my mailing was delayed due to the dog trying to eat the package. That it was true did not make it any less lame.

I see all. I know all. 😃

Glad you liked it. The collar was too cool, and I knew it had to go to the right person.
