I thought my mail receiving days were over until I found a little package in my mail box this afternoon. Thank you skels for all of the awesome Aussie goodies! I love that mini cricket paddle, it's so cute.  Edit: and I just noticed the "little miss" sticker on the package! I love those guys! party hat fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Feb 9, 2012 |

Sorry for the double post, but wanted to add my thanks to lamb for the awesome list update! I was wondering if it would be possible to add a column of people's interests to the spreadsheet? I find that I keep scrolling back through each person's set of posts to see if they've listed their hobbies or interests or preferences for NWS/no-NWS material. It takes some time, and makes me feel a wee bit stalker-ish.  I know it'd be a pain to search the thread and add in everything by hand, but is there a way the excel sheet could be posted to Google docs or something so that everyone can fill in their interests? If not, I'm totally willing to copy it all in. (I have no life at the moment, and this card exchange is definitely one of the most awesome things on the forums.)

hyperhazard posted:I see these for sale on Craigslist constantly, but I'm ashamed to admit that I have no idea what they are. Even after following the link and reading the description, I still have no clue. What do they do, exactly? Simply put, it's a totally badass machine that creates die-cut paper shapes, or makes negative cuts in larger pieces of paper. The one I got is the Cricut Expressions 2, so it also cuts fabric for my various sewing projects. Here's a decent example of both methods: http://content.provocraft.com/d/images/projects/cricut/1784.project.l.jpg It came pre-loaded with 800 shapes that I can mix and match, and additional dies for additional shapes are available for purchase. Plug it in to your computer and the possibilities are endless.

I received a lovely card from forums superstar Rufus en Fuego today! Thanks! But oddly enough, my mail came an hour later than usual today, which generally only happens when I've received a package. I wasn't expecting anything, so imagine my surprise when I open up my door and receive a box. The very first thing that occurred to me was "I should take a video of myself opening the box!" (By which I mean, the very first thing that occurred to me...after I had already opened the box. So I faked it.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaGdol6Qobc I was pretty tired when I recorded this (just woke up from a nap) so I don't think I sound adequately excited. However, the video is unrehearsed and unedited and I haven't fully watched it myself, so I probably come off like a dick or something I don't know. Know, however, dear anonymous forums poster who sent me this box, that it is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. Thank you!!

Hey! Just wanted to check in and say I arrived back home after a few days away to a lovely pile of goon mail. I had a fun time opening it all (taking lots of photos as I did) and plan to do a big, specific picture post- but I’m out of time at the moment and wont be able to get it done until next week- so in the meantime, I just want to say a big, huge THANK YOU to everyone who has sent mail. You put a massive smile on my face and I’m filling up a window sill of goon-love hyperhazard posted:I was wondering if it would be possible to add a column of people's interests to the spreadsheet?

I.e. could you design a stencil and get the machine to cut it out?

Burlington, ON, CANADA L7M 3Y3 Interests: Dethklok, the Arrogant Worms, puppies... Sending out some valentines tomorrow. I found some that were just too mentally scarring not to share.

I told my husband that some of you were sending glitter envelopes, and he told me I have to open all goon mail over the trash can now.

Drew up and inked two more Venturetines tonight. Now my desk is a disaster and I'm going to bed. No doubt where I will see the Venture Bros in my dreams. With the amount of reference pics I've pulled up, you'd think I was a fangirl. So yes, for those who've yet to receive your venturetines, they ARE coming. They'll just be...belated. I need time to rest my hands, you see, and each card takes roughly an hour to sketch/ink/colour. ...Bedtime for robots, now. Bleep blorp.

Yessssss, my cards are arriving! Is it just me, or does it seem like USPS is getting slower? I feel like I was able to get mail across the country in only a couple of days just a few years ago. Stupid government cutbacks grumble grumble grumble.

Thank you for adding the page numbers, lamb! That's awesome, and will be really helpful. Man, you spend a lot of effort on this thread.  I like you.I'm definitely gonna try to incorporate everyone's interests into the valentines I have waiting for postage. Very exciting!I haven't gotten any more goonmail for the last four days. I suspect I've reached the end of the goonlove for this holiday.

Another mailsplosion, today! Thank you so much for all of the sweet Valengoon's Day goodies!  hyperhazard - What up, fellow Maryland goon?  Was up in Baltimore in December to see John Waters and had a great time. That trip taught me that just because there's a row of cars filling an entire lane of traffic, that doesn't necessarily mean that anyone is actually in them.  Becktastic - I took this envelope as a challenge and constructed a special goony scene using all of the paper doodads and stickers inside.  13 Pandora 13 - This envelope contained Ron Weasley, PLUS magical candies that turn into gum! Who could ask for more?  Thermophonic Joy - Super cool handmade Valentine's card, free music downloads, and ALL of the stickers!   Aunt Buck - Ponies and Scooby and Muppets, oh my!  Miryei - Goon love is glittery love!  Devi Electro - More awesome handmade Valentine goodness, Hello Kitties, and confetti as far as the eye can see!  Cuntvalet - Mega-rad H.E.L.P.eR Venturetine drawn with Goon love and beep boop boop! Pillory Soft fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Feb 11, 2012 |
