I was a little worried that the shisa statues wouldn't survive the tender ministrations of the post office. I'm glad everything looks like it survived intact.

The T shirt / sports team shirt pics will show up this weekend. I hope you like Fat dudes.

Is sending people dosimeters your thing or something?

I made sure my geiger counter was working when I received this Secret Satan gift that is why it was in the picture. A few years ago I had something slightly radioactive from my secret SATAN!

I have received a gift!



Unfortunately it's all in gibberish and I have no idea what this says, so I'm choosing to believe it is hailing our lord and master, SS-18 Satan



....rosebud satan



What looks like a neat book, and two dvds, one promising a real balalaika show, and the other with the most pornographic sounding name I can think of. I can only assume it's a bad 90's action film and not actually porno, but who knows.

Thanks, Ataxerxes!

Deep in the torpedo juice already. Perfect Friday flavor

UPS: Not good at reading. Or Fragile has other meanings I'm not aware of.


Ok now we're looking shady.


If it was explosive I feel like UPS would have detonated it already


Some Sci-Fi, some torpedo themed booze, Enough World's Greatest Pencils to take every standardized test ever, a way to learn to read good and a plastic fork I will 100% save and cherish to use at El Indio. Also more bookmarks than I can ever possibly use .


Thanks! We were actually entirely out of Vodka as of today so this is perfect =)

I hope you like them!

That Lipton movie is, supposedly, known for being "the best sci-fi movie made in Finland but set in Vladivostok". Filmed in the middle of a depression by a bunch of people who had little money but plenty of ideas. It's an experience.

Total Balalaika Show is what it says on the tin, an experience of a whole different sort. The times we live in, I think everyone could do with a total balalalaika show.

And Master and Margarita is indeed a strange classic by a strange author, I hope you like it.

And here is a picture of the stuff I got, finally managed to sort it out. Thanks Hekk, my apartment smells like a garden and I can't wait to get on with the Minnesotan recipes.

I am happy to hear everything got there ok.

I sent a silly card celebrating Saint Urho’s day which is apparently a Minnesota made fictional Finnish saint whose holiday is celebrated the day before Saint Patrick’s Day and also includes drinking a bunch.

Also sent an upper midwestern comfort food cookbook that has like 100 hot dish recipes since that’s the comfort food of choice here too.

There was a pair of Paul Bunyan & Babe the Ox novelty socks.

I also included a bunch of different types of homemade soap that my wife and I have made over the last year or so.

Finally, I sent a few fishing flies that I tied since fly fishing is one of the hobbies I picked up in my military retirement.

And for St Urho, there is a place called St Urho's Pub: https://www.urhospub.fi/fi/

Though this one is named after the late President Urho Kekkonen. If you ever end up in Finland I'll buy you a beer there ;)

I just realized nobody will understand the meta-joke that was the Connie Willis book I sent to Laranzu because I forgot to post pics of my non-shirt gifts. McNally included a copy of that same book in his gift to me and when I saw a copy in a local bookstore I knew what I had to do.

That doesn't make it funny, of course, it just explains what happened.

If that's the Leningrad Cowboys live show that aired on PBS years ago and I think it is, you're in for a good time

You forgot to post any pics, actually!

Or if you did they’re not loading for me.

It’s a great book. One of my favorites and I think all of you should read it.

I have not- but I cannot stress this enough: I live further in the boonies than you can imagine and USPS can be spotty if it’s been raining.

There’s also the tendency for the USPS not recognizing my address the first few times so it could be some time (if) before it shows up.

I know for a fact Crab Dad wouldn’t be a Santa Grinch.

I got my receipt and I can forward you the tracking if needed.

I was a little disappointed they wouldn’t ship alcohol but that’s probably my fault for claiming it.

Yeah never claim alcohol, just wrap it in bubble wrap and a zip lock bag and send it
