Parcel Frenzy

[Angstwolf]

I'd do a helluva lot more than that for a Klondike Bar.

I got my parcel yesterday. It contained:

* a nice handwritten letter, addressed to me (very nice)
* a certificate of merit, made out to me, from rabid_fox's school (I assume)
* two scraps of paper with scribbles on them (confiscated by rabid_fox during one of his classes?)
* a shaving razor (it's cold and it stings)
* a single black sock (very soft)
* an audio CD (I forget whose)
* wacky British money (inside the sock)
* wacky British candy (not inside the sock)

The whole thing smelled... strangely nice. Especially the sock.

Thanks, rabid_fox. I love randomness.

I'll post a picture tonight if I remember.

The sock that I received also smells very nice.

Also, rabid_fox listens to The Mountain Goats!?



Contents (from left to right [sort of]):
- 9 candies of assorted shapes, sizes, and colors
- a lovely sheet of poetry, including such favorites as "Reflection on Ice-breaking" by Ogden Nash and "Celia Celia" by Adrian Mitchell
- some scholarly writings
- a Tesco receipt
- Steve Vai's Fire Garden
- a Tesco Sport voucher
- a certificate of merit
- a letter with rabid_fox's picture on it
- what appears to be a ticket to a French film festival
- a dark grey sock
- a padded envelope (used for shipping)
- a plastic razor
- burned-out incense(?)
- 17 pence

Quite a haul, I must say! Thanks, rabid.

Oh snap I forgot! I also received:

* a page torn out from a book
* a ticket stub from... something

So it looks like we received very similar stuff, except you got one more thing than I did (the incense).

[Angstwolf]

I didn't notice the incense at first as it was stuck to one side of the package. I found it only after a secondary inspection. :o

[rabid_fox]

The teacher in me insisted that the whole thing be fair and that everyone got similar items.

Also, of course I listen to "The Mountain Goats". Fantastic tunesmithery.

You're now about three times cooler than before in my imaginary book of coolness.

[Arloest]

People actually gave their address to this guy?!


Who are you people?!

[rabid_fox]

The few and proud.

[nickspoon]

He has a face you can trust.

[rabid_fox]

And a concoction so multi-coloured in my glass that it felt awful black and whiting that avatar. Alas, alas, tradition is tradition.

I must say, this is the most original way of getting rid of random crap that I've ever seen :p

[rabid_fox]

Everyone accumulates these miscellanea. I redistribute rather than discard. Also, I like writing letters. More people should write letters to people they don't know.
