Jendawn13 Just received your Christmas card! I grew up watching A Christmas Story every year, but haven't seen it or thought about it for a while... Thanks for the welcome nostalgia! I feel all warm and fuzzy now.  "You'll shoot your eye out!"

RatherTonic, I sent you a rather nasty card. Either yours or my postman have no sense of humour, or cannot read my handwriting, because they sent it back to me.

I sent out about 30 Christmas cards a couple days before Christmas. None got sent back but the mail man wasn't very happy that I put a lot of stickers on the envelopes.  Put me back on the list for Valentine's Day Cards! Stephanie 4923 State Route 276 Batavia,Ohio 45103

Why wasn't he happy? Gimme his address, I'll send him all kinds of stickers!  What a SCROOGE! Content: My mum-in-law works at the postal outlet inside a drug store just down the street. She's pals with the lady who comes to refill the greeting cards and got me hooked up with a TONNE of colourful envelopes that didn't have cards to go with them. I mean HUNDREDS. Yesssss!!! Goonlove surrounded by envelope over envelope, over envelope? Why, that's a great idea! e: All the envelopes are the same size and now my idea is ruined.

Did s/he actually say something? It's legal to put stickers on envelopes. Do not let that bully bother you.  The mail keeps coming, here. Today I got cards from Comrade Koba and Jendawn13. Thank you both, I love them! That's one of the things I love about goonmail, there's so many different neat pictures on the cards and stuff. It's awesome!

I apologize in advance for the returned cards. I no longer am living with my dad and he feels that if you have to use an alias on the cards instead of real names then it must not be legal or something like that, so he has been sending them back. I have changed my address through the post office though. Thanks goons!

I am so excited - I just placed an order for stamps and all manner of tchotchkes for St. Patrick's Day, Fourth of July, one random mailing and even next Halloween and Christmas. This thread better not die. Edit: and Easter! I got Easter crap too. lamb fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Jan 6, 2012 |

All postcards are outlined in pencil but I had no eraser when I was at the hospital so progress stopped there. I hopefully have some time for the first time tonight since my son was born Wednesday.

I'd like to be a part of this mail orgy fun! It seems to be year round, so hopefully it's okay that I've just picked 3 random people and they'll soon be getting 3 random cards! More to follow... Direct any deliveries of awesomeness to: Edit: Address included on list when able to participate! For reference I'm a 29 year old chic, but I have the sense of humor of a small child. Well, a small child who enjoys a good penis joke. I have a dog and I'm sure he'd love a card, too! Turkish Delightful fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Dec 11, 2012 |

So, I guess I bought a lovely kind of glue, and my Valentine's are a little goopy looking. But you guys are still gonna like them! I had entirely too much fun pretending I was in third grade again. I showed the prototype to my boyfriend and he said it was weird. Everyone says I have a strange sense of humour.  I hope they're not actually terrible!I'm broke at the moment, so only ten lucky people are gonna get 'em. Hopefully my job interview on Wednesday pans out so I can send boatloads more stuff. Wish me luck!

I'm sorry for not posting before, but I've been too drat busy these weeks. Before Christmas I received: From Niemat  cuntvalet  lamb  The Genesplicers  And after (But I still put them on the tree with the others): Drei  Mysa  Fluffy Bunnies  And 1337 haxxor pirate  Thanks everybody for the Christmas cards. Also a couple of things: lamb, you took me out of the list . Also I made a cheesecake with the recipe you sent, and it was delicious (Everybody loved it). And about the bracelet, Was it the right size? I made it myself, and didn't know how big to make it.And 1337 haxxor pirate I'm glad you liked the cards, I have tons of Humankind cards (Even a couple of sealed decks). And there are 2 other local games I can get cards if you are interested. In any case, I play yugioh and we don't get cards in english.

I've always wanted to do something in one of these threads.  I think I'd like to give having some goon penpals a shot, if I may.My address is: Tragedy Sherbert 14 W Ridley Avenue Ridley Park, PA 19078 I'm 25 years old and my birthday is April 11th. Some of my favourite things are Moomin, pirates, crocheting and alligators. Please no bodily fluids or nws drawings on envelopes. I am not sure other family who handle the mail would appreciate it.

Me and my guy are goonie to the max. Put us on the list! Our US address is 1217 Overbrook Rd. Idlewylde, MD 21239 Since I'm about 10,000 miles away from there right now, I'll pick up some postcards and send over a little bit of Qatar to get people through the winter. They might not arrive for a few weeks, depending on how bad customs is/how far away you are, but I'll try my best! Updated for interests: I like weird stuff. Honestly, the stranger the better. I love kitsch and have a somewhat morbid sense of humor. I'm the type of person who turns tombstones into coffee tables. I also do geeky-rear end art like making old video game sprites out of thumbtacks on corkboard. I love dogs and herps and play the timpani  . I like car stuff too. My pet project is my little Mazda 2 that I'm trying to get into some sort of shape for autocross. I'm currently doing my thesis on the cognitive effects of interrogation, so I guess I like Psych stuff too. I will probably attempt to send you some sort of sketch or doodle, so beware. (Just because I like art does not mean I can create it.) hyperhazard fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Feb 10, 2012 |

I'm about halfway through a pile of stickers my last insane roommate left at my last apartment, and am about to get some more postcards/stamps for anyone who wants touristy northern Michigan poo poo. If anyone has kids who would want some Dora or really girly Sesame St. stickers let me know, I'll feel like a creepy weirdo just sending them to random goons (but MLP and Hello Kitty stickers are kosher, go figure).

Thank you very much to Dangereuse and Count Drunkula, who are under the impression that I went to Penn State (?), and to Cardboard Robot, who sent me a coloring page and stickers that I appreciate very much, even though I am not a brony (is there a female equivalent to a brony?) Palette swap posted:lamb, you took me out of the list You made that yourself? It is perfect, and I've gotten many compliments on it. You should sell them! I'm really sorry about taking you off of the list- I've fixed it. It was definitely a weird mistake on my part, because you're one of the goons whose Valentine's Day envelope I'd already prepared. Here's proof:  Now I just have to resist the urge to send these out before February 1st.

Holy crap. I'm so surprised that I even got Thermophonic Joy's card at all. I couldn't believe the state it was in when I opened the mailbox! Looked like someone had already opened it, that or it just went through a hell of a lot before getting here. The envelope is hardly intact and only about 30% of it is still sealed. I didn't need to open it to see what was inside. Thank you Thermophonic Joy. I can only hope that nothing was missing when I got it.

Maybe my envelopes weren't up to scratch? Since you and Aunt Buck both received my goonmail like that! I can't remember everything I sent, but there were colouring pages for sure, and a ton of stickers, and little foam stickers. Um, and I think there were gift tags, too. Probably better if those are lost, since they would have arrived so late! Glad you got it, though! Merry Belated Goonmas!

Also, I want to apologize for being so slow to get some mail pictures posted and to get mail out (I haven't forgotten about you, cat mail goons!!)--work's been a beast lately, but I'm hoping tomorrow I'll have time to sit down (at work, ha  ) and get some mail prepped!
