Short version, I've accumulated lots of postcards of various sizes, shapes, and styles. I'm also trying to purge extra things that I don't need to still own.

If you'd like a postcard, post here then e-mail your mailing address to jbone@thefinalact.net (sorry, I don't have PMs) and I'll send you a postcard.

I'll write something on the postcard to you. It might be something related to the picture on the card. It might be a story related to true or imagined adventures where the card may or may not be from. It may be something about how much I miss you and savor your sweet, sweet embrace. Who knows!

Once you get the card, please post pictures in this thread (and of course blur out your/my personal details).

Cards will be mailing from the Washington, DC area. International addresses OK.

Depending on how popular this gets, I can't guarantee everyone replying will get a card, but I do have kind of a lot of postcards... have I mentioned I've accumulated lots of postcards?

Edit to add: And greeting cards! I almost forgot, I also have lots of greeting cards! I'll probably send out some of those, too.

Does nobody want one of my fine postcards?

I understand, sometimes folks just need a little tease to whet your appetite - an hors d’œuvre, if you will.

Allow me to share with you a postcard I previously sent to my friend SmileyPonderosa:




Handwriting aside, I hope this sample helps ease your mind that I do, in fact, have postcards to give away.

Please help me get rid of these postcards? I have so many postcards.

I assure you, sir, I am not "on" anything.

Also, both cards went out today.

Oh cool I love postcards!
I have some lying around so I'll totally reply to you even though that kind of ruins the idea of getting rid of stuff you don't need...

That's okay, I can just stick an address label over the old one and send it out again, pretending it was me who wrote it all along!

Also, yours went out.

I worked with a guy named Jbone once. No joke. Jared Bone. Also, email sent. I look forward to my postcard from the internet.

I am not he, for better or for worse. Also, your postcard is written, I'll drop it in the mail tomorrow or Monday.

Glad everyone's happy so far! I have a couple more I meant to drop off but are sitting on my desk at the office, and I won't be back until Monday. Whoops. But they'll go out!

Still got lots more cards needing homes, keep those requests coming.

Otner and other-dude-who-didn't-post-here, got your addresses! Will send yours out this coming week.

Also, it seems several of my greeting cards are ~~~ holiday cards ~~~ !

So if you'd like a holiday card from the edge of sanity, remember to post here and e-mail me your address!

As promised, a bunch of outstanding cards went out today. (Note the double entendre.)

I check my mail everyday hoping to find someone has written me something special, and every day I am disappointed. Except when the Tandy catalog comes, that's a good day.

Please send me a postcard, Mr. JBone.

Will do!

All postcards EXCEPT ONE have gone out - I found one on my desk that never actually made it into the mail. Whoops. Will be sent tomorrow, then I'm all caught up and ready to write some more!

I just got a request from [redacted].writes.things@gmail.com but there was no post here, and the name in the e-mail doesn't match the name on the address.

As I'm not in the business of sending cards to COMPLETE strangers, please post on here to let me know that this is, in fact, not going to result in breaking anyone's restraining order.

My stamps are all at the office, and I've barely been at the office this week, but I'm gonna try to get outstanding cards out by the weekend.

So. Damned lazy goons haven't been posting the cards I've sent them - but fear not! I took pictures of each card, myself, before sending it. I'll be sorting them and starting to post my photos over the next week or so.
