i get home today and i check the mail. i see a brown, lumpy paper bag with one end stapled closed. a printed label indicates that the package is in fact for me (full name and everything) with this return address: “po box 848, grand rapids MN 55744-0848”. inside i find
no note. no indication of where this came from, why it was delivered to me, or if it is covered in disease (geoff’s idea, not mine). and so i googled the crap out of this address and got things like this and this. mysterious envelopes, unrelated to each other, sent with no reason. so, i’m a bit confused, bemused (nba live 09 sucks!) and maybe a tad perturbed. but only maybe.
it goes without saying, but if anyone has any idea where this shirt came from, i’d love to hear from you.
That shirt is sweet.
And uh, probably was meant to be sent to me… yeah, that’s the ticket!
that’s crazy… i’ve gotten t-shirts like that before in the past (without anything telling me who/where/why).. i never bother to look.
you could get some kid to airbrush ‘sucks’ under the name for you.
@Darryl – you’ve received tshirts like this before? what the hell? you didn’t question it?
and this tshirt might be sweet now, but man it would be so much sweeter if i got someone to airbrush “sucks!” underneath it. because really, nba live is such a bad franchise (especially relative to the 2k sports series)
@Thad if you really want the tshirt, come to SF and i’ll give it to you? i’ll make you a deal – we can meet somewhere else… vegas?
Nah, i used to sign up and register all my shit like a good little consumer. Random shit always showed up.
It belongs to a company that mails out prizes for businesses that run sweepstakes. At least that is part of what they do. I won a $50 gift card from Arrowhead Promotions and it came from that address. Maybe you entered a contest or sweepstakes and forgot about it?
