So Captain Thorns was the first to get the ball rolling on what I hope becomes a larger project. To this end, I've begun posting "Free for all Mail Calls" in major cities around America on Craigslist. I've already recieved 2 mail-art postcards, one from a Charles Balletto of Queens, NY, who is an excellent artist, and the other from a Chuck from Colorado Springs, CO, who does his own special brand of watercolor portraits.
You can look them up by their names if you like, and see their stuff, but I'm not about to go pasting links here. Yes, I'm that lazy.
Anyway, On to what CT sent me:
A cassete tape of hypnotism to improve memory. Good job there, I could certainly use it, I just need to find a cassete player now.
Also included was a small round package of dental floss. I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me with this. True, I've had 4 abcess teeth from impacted molars (VERY painful), and I just had my last wisdom tooth pulled last Monday. Sure my teeth are stained yellow from a decade of smoke and coffee (which gave me kidney stones, also VERY painful), but do you really get the impression that I need dental floss so bad that I need it delivered from Illinois?
Either way you answer it, it's true, since I never floss and can always use a reminder to do so.
Now a picture, because the vast majority of you apparently don't read anything. TV generation and such.
This was the note he put in the blister packed envelope which I greatly enjoyed popping.

This looks like the beginning of something seriously gay between you two.

Please. I'm not THAT crass.
But I did lick the envelope a-plenty before sealing it. :)

what about people? can we send people? For instance, the Mexican I have working for me is sub par and I've grown tired of him. May I send him?
He works for food...

With all due respect I pulled this maneuver several times. It started with Getnakeddd when I sent her a reese's peanut butter cup shirt, a telephone cable, some paper clips, and a piece of hemp. Then I sent Method a pair of gloves magically laced with something, a post-it notepad, and keychain. Afterwards I sent scourge a poem book, a razorblade, and some intrinsic things that I can't remember. I believe I sent a puzzle box to Hilarity. Finally I sent a sun-print kit to Bart at his business address listed on the contact page.
Oh yeah, and I sent a "Fuck Me, I'm Irish" cammy to Inion...but that was a thank you for the porn.
I would start doing this again but people can no longer be civil.

I look forward to it. Now I'm off to the PO Box, with hope in my heart that I've received something new.

CT has very emphatic (read "gay") handwriting. Exclamation points, smiley faces and that little "swoosh" under his initials.
-----------------------
It comes from my mom's side of the family.
----------------------------
Your mom is gay???!!!
=====
Or the whole side is?
Which begs the question as to how Thorns got here.
Or is he even here?
GODDAMN YOU OATHMEAL AND YOUR ALTERS!!!

As far as I'm concerned, feel free to use the floss for a string bikini in lieu of the traditional oral use. :)

OK. Now I have to think of something super-weird to leave in your mailbox. Something so weird it will make your wife call the cops.
-----------------------------------
Well, you need to know 2 things:
a) You will not scare my wife. She is a psycho just like me.
b) I actually don't live in your city, I live in High Falls, 45 min. South off I-75. It's great down here, and would be a good weekend trip for you. It rivals Dahlonega Falls in my opinion.

I wouldn't recommend using it while you're driving. ^_^ That stuff works best when you're dozing off and more open to subconscious suggestion...

BTW...I'm surprised you actually haven't listened to the tape yet. I would think that someone from your generation would have a cassette player in their stereo, or an old Walkman laying about...
=====================================
Had one in my old car, but it kept eating the tapes. I'll check the flea markets this weekend for an old one, I really am interested in trying it out.
