I got cards and letters! First, Shoozy, thanks for all the neat bits. And Opera Bitch Thanks as well. When Worlds Collide a third thanks to you. Now, why am I being generic? Because of this beast:  Her name is Guinness (Gus-Gus for short). I had opened your three letters at the same time and put them on my table. Then Gus leaped up onto the table, attacking the pile of papers and cards with wild abandon, scattering much of the contents about. So, there were some nice stickers and various other bit. (WWC, I assume anything Canadian, like the $.05 in Free Canadian Tire merchandise is from you. The Card with the bugs on it has lots of tooth marks, but the Darwin card survived. So, without being completely specific, thanks for the goodies! Now I must learn to open them away from my cat. I also got card from Kafka's Goldfish which included a rather nice Shaun of the Dead cross-stitch. Mrs. Genesplicer really liked it, and grabbed a frame for it.  Thanks everyone!

Jimmy da Fish and the former Mustard Master (now Man of the Year): I got your Valentine yesterday and your letter today, but they were pretty totaled, and Mustard Master's candy was gone. There's an 800 number on the USPS website: the post office Alternatively, you could call your local PO and ask to talk to the...manager?

I'm so flattered that the Mrs. put it in a frame to display in your home! If anyone is cross stitch curious, I get all the patterns from a few etsy sellers. They're easy and relaxing and seem to make nice gifts for friends when personalized.

when worlds collide posted:Also Niemat, that is really lame. I hope you get things sorted. It sounds kind of fishy to me. :| I think I will have to send you something that is pretty much untrashable as an experiment. It is lame.  Like I said, everyone works too hard to have some jerk destroy their mail!! ...I am kind of giggling right now after reading your post, though... When you said you were thinking about sending something pretty untrashable, I totally just thought of you sending a brick with our names and a stamp on it, haha.  Shoozy posted:There's an 800 number on the USPS website: the post office Yeah, I wasn't sure if I call some sort of 800 number, our closest post office, or the main hub for Omaha... :S Maybe I'll start with the closest one and go from there! Wish me luck!

I got back from working the metal cruise and the goonmail was waiting! Thanks rythe, DLAO, Naomi D, Niemat, Pandora13, Kafka's Goldfish, Lamb, God Bless Johnny, Shoozy, PezMaster and Tempura Wizard!!! GodBlessJohnny, Yes I loved the postcard, even if it was typed. I was totally overwhelmed by all the goon love. On a side note, I am moving next month, so please be patient if I don't respond. I'll respond to this round of goonmail and that will probably be it until I get settled. YAY!

Niemat posted:It is lame. That could be arranged...  But forreals, I will send you something in my round 2. It will be late Valentine's but I have to wait till payday to get some more stamps. I have a card that would be perfect for this, and the way they are made, well, they'd have to really go out of their way to mess them up. So we will do this for  (and of course, cheer!).

In the last while, I have become a huge fan of Deus Ex:HR, and have been trying to find some nerdy valentines in that vein... Unfortunately, they never make valentines of the GOOD video games. I'm mad! Jealous of all you artistic goons. Maybe I'll try and make my own, but they're gonna be abominations, I'm warning you.

Disargeria posted:Hey when worlds collide's address isn't on the list I am in stealth mode. But you should have something in your mailbox soon, and I always put my return address because I am very anxious about mails being returned to sender. Which actually happened with your letter, they sent it back to me because they wanted more postage. You will see on your letter that there is a big rectangle clear plastic over your address, which is where the sticker saying PAY MORE STAMPS BITCH was, prior to my removing it after doing what they asked. But in all seriousness, I left my addy off the list because I am not completely reliable yet, so I didn't want to get stuff when there was a chance that I couldn't send something back in a timely manner. I like to be reciprocal. *fake edit- if you reaaaally want it immediately, I can PM you with it

Yay, Valentines! I got two today! Thank you JimmydaFish, for the awesome Fortune Teller Fish! It told me I am passionate.  Last year, the fish Lamb sent me for V-day also told me I'm passionate, but when I forwarded it to my brother-in-law, all it told him was that I'm weird.  He's so not getting this one!KafkasGoldfish... whoa! That is a wicked cross stitch. All the tiny little stitches are so neat and uniform, and it smells slightly of my favourite tea. I don't know how you do this, but I am in love with your awesomeness. Giggling at Boromir is a favourite pastime of mine, so this is perfect. Thank you.

I received the most amazing Wolverine Valentine's Day cross stitch from Kafka's Goldfish today. Being a comic book fan my heart melted completely when I opened it. Having camera issues on my phone otherwise I'd share the love. I have 20 cards going out tomorrow if I can make it to the post office. I apologize for those cards received after Thursday, but know that the love inside will still be fresh. fake edit: that's love in the emotional definition of the word, not physical.

Got triple goon love today. Team Lunch Thanks for the great origami hearts and the sweet Valentine paper airplane Tremors Thank you for the sweet card and the neat foam hearts that I now have all over my desk. Thermophonic Joy I got a big package from you today, all the way from the mystical Canada land. Lets see; the stickers where great, more foam hearts are always a plus, your awesome poem made the wife and I crack up laughing and we both really enjoyed the Nintendo candies, we tore into that bag as a part of our desert for the night. Over all it has been a wonderful Valentines Day exchange, can not wait for the next major card/Lego holiday.

This looks like an extremely fun time and I'm not sure how I never stumbled upon this. Anyways, I'm a 25 year old man goon and I like random things. From the broad assortment of clocks (I'm a weirdo), to different cultures across the world, and schematics and older architecture. I am also proud to be Famiglia Di Ythrl's (WoW goon guild) only Republican and crazy person. I love a fantastic story, by which I mean that I enjoy hearing about people. The things in life that seem small, but have a huge impact. NWS is okay, nothing biological. Keep the NWS stuff inside the envelope, please.

Total embarassment of goon love in yesterday's mail.  6 cards! I was doing a happy dance and my cats were looking at me like I had lost my mind. I don't care. I am loving all the love. First up, Thermophonic Joy! Thank you for the card, stickers, and note (even if it was really for God Bless Johnny  )!  Marlowe, the maze is really cool. I don't know if I have the nerve to tackle it. And the card is so pretty.  Tremors, awww a homemade heart! So cute!  Dushkani, love the dachshund card and the handwritten note.  IM Jack, I laughed out loud at your prison valentine. Glad to know you've got my back!  And Niemat, love the Halloween valentine. You're right, they do both involve candy!  And finally, who needs a bouquet of flowers when you can have a bouquet of goony valentines? Not me. These will last longer than flowers too.

I just took a ton of cards down to the post office! So, if you get a creepy serial stalker letter or a coloring book page stapled to macaroni art proclaiming undying love in the next day or two, there is a chance it is from me... and I mean everything from the bottom of my heart. If you sent me a card a while back but didn't get anything from me yet, then I tried to get something nice out to you this round! Enjoy!
