Dude...you're spending WAY too much time on this! I've already ruled out the box of legal tender (was going to send shredded cash if he won, but that's not legal tender anymore)

Is that your final answer? :wink:

This reminds me of an urgent job I had to do outside New Orleans several years ago. Same time of year too.
I sent out the parts and my tools via Air Freight before I left and I arrived just about a week before Christmas.
I already called the client to see if the stuff had arrived before I got on the plane.
Yes, he said. It was in the Customs Bonded Warehouse in the shipyard where I was going to work.
Flew to Chicago, then another to New Orleans, hired a car and drove to site.
Met with client and he took me to the warehouse to get the stuff.

Closed till after the new year!!!!!!:eek:

January 5th at 5:15 pm if your mail carrier is anything like mine. Funny..during the holiday weeks my mail is here before 11:30 each day. Any other time it's always aroun 5 pm or later. Soaking up that government overtime!

we have a winner!

I went to the mailbox, on New Year's Eve Eve,
Hoping for a package from my buddy Steve.
I walked to the mailbox, betwixt 3:30 and four,
And grinned somewhat giddily as I opened the door.

There lay a package, marked "Royal Mail"
(they're much more efficient than the US Snail!)
I commenced tearing and cutting and such,
'til I laid eyes on a prize that I will prize much!

Shiny and sparkly, all silver and gold,
Truly a pen any would be glad to hold!
I remembered my offer, to pay forward a prize,
So I made for the house, with a gleam in my eyes.

I paged through the guesses, that my friends had sent,
To find me a winner, some lucky lady or gent.
Happy to play as my own Christmas elf,
I found for my winner a Mr. Tim Self!

His guess was December 30, a quarter past three,
I searched for some closer but it was not to be!
A package of goodies from my shop is the prize,
Priority mail, small flat rate size!

Please Mr. Tim, PM me your wishes
I'll look in my shop, on shelves and in niches,
To pack you a box of goodies in batches,
Hopefully to make up some good matches!

I've an idea, for another fun game
To pay this forward, more winners to claim
If you are interested in playing some more,
The game will involve what's sent to your door!
