Game Over
Return of Mido

Thank you to Longhouse, TheNinjaScotsman and gamingCaffeinator for your cards! The recent supply of goon mail has certainly helped me feel better this holiday season! Thanks for the CD, Longhouse, I haven't listened to it yet but it certainly looks...interesting to say the least!

Also gamingCaffeinator, I tried searching your Steam name but search turned up nothing, the closest I got was for a profile that was offline 37 days that I didn't think was you. Shoot me a message to firephoenix0 (account name, Profile name is FPzero), I'd love to see if I have any games we can play together.

Aw, glad you liked it! :) I am the one with the goofy-rear end pony avatar (my roommate doodled it for me), so I'll add ya and we can game!

For content: I got a bunch more cards the other day, and will be uploading pictures soon! This makes me beyond happy when I come home to mail :) and I'm behind sending out cards, but there will be more soon!

I have a question for you. I have just addressed a card for your mom (it's going to be a difficult xmas for me too, without my aunt, so I definitely had to send her some xmas cheer) BUT, her address is different than yours. I am hoping your card has the right address on it, so is the Brantford one the right one? Or, the return address on your card which is Waterford? I'm so confused, please guide me, fellow Canadigoon :D

I noticed this when I did your mom's, I had put the Waterford address on yours, then the Brantford one on hers and went, erp, I think that's different.

Thanks :)

Brantford is where I live, and I put the Waterford address (my mom's place) as a force of habit, didn't even notice until I was sending them. I think it's because I'm so used to having mail sent there...

So yes! Both are correct, and we see each other at least once a week, so either way the mail comes, we'll get it sorted out!

Also, thank you! :3:

cuntvalet and Encephalopathy! I got your cards, thank you so much! Encephalopathy, I'm sending you a Christmas card but it probably won't get there til February or something.

I got your card and loved it, and got your card sent to my mom, can't wait to watch her reaction to her first ever goonmail. :3:

I am an incredibly patient person, so whenever you get the time/inclination is just fine by me. Also, by no means limit yourself to those snail things. I lurve me some weird, weird poo poo. I'll be hitting up a mercado by the weekend, so expect to see something within the next couple of weeks.

Cards went in the mail this afternoon! I chose my recipients completely at random, and strangely, most of them either didn't want NWS or didn't specify whether or not it was okay, so I played it safe and cutesy. I had a really fun and gross idea I wanted to implement, so if anyone here would like to be visually assaulted by their holiday cheer, let me know. I would love for at least one person to share my creative joy.

I'm crafting your reply package - do you want it sent to your return address or the one you posted in this thread.

Also I'm game for some really, really loving weird/gross mail. I used to be an assistant manager at a porn shop so I'm pretty unshakeable.

Reply mail to Mizufuzion, LyonsLions, Niemat, Unexpected Road, Team Lunch, & Meriruka are going out tomorrow. Lamb, Big Hustle, Keetron, & Rufus En Fuego yours is mostly ready but not yet. Soon. :dance:

To fulfill photo requests and to encourage people who may be avoiding posting their address/joining the goonmail fun. I apologize for the crappy iPhone pictures:

This is the mail I've gotten in the last two weeks. Markers, stickers, puzzles, art, bracelets, and a bunch more stuff is inside those envelopes ('cause goons are awesome):


This is all the goonmail I've gotten from last thread and this one. It's about three layers deep:

From this pile I've gotten dozens of photos and original artwork, candy/food, recipes, international awesomeness, a lifetime supply of stickers, and internet friendship (Unexpected Road and thepitgoddess have been my penpals for over a year!). In the old thread I wrote to every person who posted (and would if I could afford it in this one) and I always always reply. I've probably sent out 500 letters and gotten/gotten back at least 300.

I've never gotten anything disgusting, obscene, or threatening (of course now that I've said that I will). Nobody's ever shown up at my house. I've never opened a letter and regretted posing my address.

Give it a shot if you're holding back. It's awesome, goons are awesome.

I got all sorts of swag, including a free Frosty, bandaids, and a coloring page! (And Rufus, I giggled crazily when I found your boobytrap of confetti)

I'm sorry for the lack of posting. I've been dealing with the recurring depression bullshit. It usually gets more frequent in the winter, but whatever.

Thanks to Lamb for the puzzles, stickers, and other assorted goodies, Topenga for the gilttery card and NKOTB card (which I gave to my brother) and zombiesharks for the word search and the junior frosty coupon.

The Frosty coupon made me sad, since the rear end in a top hat who owned literally every Wendy's restaurant franchise in St Louis closed them all a few years ago. I was out this weekend and actually fist pumped when I saw a new one being built a town over.

I WILL GET MY ZOMBIESHARKS FROSTY DAMMIT!

A single act of carelessness leads to the eternal loss of beauty

I returned from vacation to find a plethora of goonmail, which truly lessened the pain of losing all of my money in Vegas. In no particular order:

mysa09, 13Pandora13 and wildlife atlas


Two cards from Mizufusion, plus Unexpected Road, Psychogirl and Bushwhacked


Encephalopathy and Rufus en Fuego


cuntvalet, Niemat and party hat


As of today, the list is up to date: http://side-o-lamb.com/goonlist.html

YUS. People are feeling the love! I'm glad you found the confetti to be fun, because when the GF saw what I was doing, she told me everyone would hate me for it. I stood firm, and I'm glad I did. But now that everyone knows, I'm gonna have to change my game. Hmmmm...

Could you send it to the one I posted in the thread? I realized after I sent it that I brainfarted and used my home address. I don't get to see the mailman at our place, but I do get to see the guy when I pick up the mail at the PO box, so anything NWS will be totally worth the drive. And...wish granted. Gross mail coming your way soon.
