I’m here to take up the haranguing reins from Firefly & the T-man. Plus, to add the girly touch I’m so known for.
Our Boy in Blue Manly Man in Camouflage Togs has forwarded us his info, and quel surprise, all his comrades-in-arms are on the “Nice” list! And ohsodeserving of your extra time and attention.
Now, I know the times are tight. And you may be shying away, reading about the mountains o’ stuff other people are sending, and thinking, “I can’t afford to send that much…” Even though we can all agree, our troops are worth a mortgage payment! not all of us can stretch to that.
However. Just like the Widow and her mite, and just like the Little Drummer Boy, even the little you have to offer = it’s huge. CostCo, for example, has a box of that Starbucks Via instant coffee (great for spontaneous iced lattes, the Wankette drink o’ choice) for cheap. HalfPrice Books (and other such places) have masses of DVDs, games, CDs, paperbacks, and recent mags, all for under $5. Think in terms of a padded envelope!
And here’s another budget thought: the simple thank-you note. I assigned all of my classes to write such a foreign thing before Thanksgiving. Even though most were inelegantly dashed out on notebook paper, from the response of the recipients, you’d've thought these were penned with Mont Blancs on silk scrolls.
So submit what you can to:
S. Claus/44 Strawberry Hill Avenue #1M/Stamford, CT 06902
Wish list:
- Chocolate candy (Mounds bars are his favorite) (because they look like little boobs)(one of us had to say it)
- Individually packaged peanuts, pretzels, corn chips, pork rinds, et al.
- Books, magazines, DVDs of movies or TV shows
As the staff x-chromo, I’d like to take this opportunity to suggest some items for our x-chromos-in-the-field: decent tampons (you know what I’m talking about!), Venus disposable razors, pillowcases, nice-smelling soap, Noxema facial wipes (the desert does awful things to a gal’s complexion), those gift cosmetic bags you get “with purchase”, those gift cosmetics you get “with purchase” (c’mon, how many eye shadows and moisturizers can you reasonably expect to go through in a year??).
And for your generosity, he will show up to thank you in person. If I let him go.:

There is this one:
Now there’s a hubba hubba pose
Is that of those pictures where they merge photos of a man and a woman to come up with a pciture of “Jacob”?
That’s a man? Heh
What about baked goods? And Imay send some Flynn, Thor, Pressfield
etc.
Good books would be nice.I have 3 oz bottle of Dior Addict 2 in original package (please no jokes about why I have it)…will PO let me mail it?
Scott… I would think so Scott… APO mail works just like domestic mail.
I thought my werewolf radar went off… Thank you Wanks-you know I love you more than I love my luggage and Merry Christmas Threedonia!
June, any cross-polinization you can do in the internationally acclaimed six pack for our mission for the troops is greatly appreciated!
Merry Christmas, June! Season’s Greetings to all the Cleavers and your band of crazy Six-Packers!
Darling Junie,
I somehow knew I could summon you with a little wolf call…funny how we both were Team E until this movie…not saying I’m totally converted, but there’s somethin’ ’bout that BOY!
Well,I’ll try..would love for the X chromosone soldiers to have this expensive stuff
Rufus,do you approve that pic? Next thing you know Fritz will be out with one.
The photographer promised me it was just to establish the proper f speed for the lens. He swore he didn’t even have film in the camera. I’m so ashamed!
pull the other one, firefly
Are you sure about pork rinds, Wankette?
I know no skin and no booze, but is pork okay?
I believe non-halal stuff is not allowed.
I don’t know anyone here who even likes Pork Rinds. On the other hand they have bacon every morning at breakfast…mmmmmmmm BACON!
Eh, the pork rinds were there for grins.
Vis to wit, pork in Iraq = if memory serves, it all depends on who opens the package. And if he got laid the night before.
