faust3d Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 I already got my gift. Woo hoo! We did a classical music exchange with jvlgato. I was listening to Living Stereo albums and having a great time last night Modest Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition, a Night on Bald Mountain, and Other Russian Showpieces [Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Reiner] (1960) Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov - Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade / Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale (Chicago Symphony Orchestra/Fritz Reiner) (1960) Hector Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique (Boston Symphony Orchestra/Charles Munch) (1955)
bhjazz Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 It's christmas isn't it? Nothing causes me more reason to "drink to forget" than christmas. Carry on.
grawk Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 The first of my packages to jim should arrive any minute now. The remainder have to be packed and shipped, so they'll be there sometime after pigs learn to fly...
jvlgato Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Glad you enjoyed them, faust3d! I got mine, too, but haven't had time to listen or post. They look great, though, and I'm looking forward to listening and posting soon!
morphsci Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 The first of my packages to jim should arrive any minute now. The remainder have to be packed and shipped, so they'll be there sometime after pigs learn to fly... Yep, no moss growing under this boy. Actually arrived yesterday but I was just informed today. Thank you. P.S. The first of your packages goes out tomorrow.
HeadphoneAddict Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 I hit 5 liquor stores today and none will ship alcohol for me. But what I sent manaox2 already is nice enough without the alcohol, so I'm gonna stop worrying and drink the stuff myself, and then send him a souvenir from Mexico later. Cheers!
Voltron Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 That's ridiculous. You just put the booze in a box and ship it without specifying the contents. Over think much?
justin Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 That's ridiculous. You just put the booze in a box and ship it without specifying the contents. Over think much? USPS Employee: Is there anything liquid, fragile, or potentially hazardous in this box? Larry: Yes...I mean no! Damn it! 1
HeadphoneAddict Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 I'm worried about the trouble I'd get into if they break it and it leaks all over the place, so I get caught.
justin Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 the laws may look tough but they're only going to prosecute people acting as unauthorized alcohol distributors ( = they havent paid a big tax to do it) you're fine.
jvlgato Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) In my world, we'd say you have an over-active superego. Just be sure to pack it well. Or buy two bottles ... you can drink one, you'll be able to relax a little bit, thus allowing you to ship the other. If you want to practice (systematic desensitization), you can ship one to me. Though I might have to charge you. Edited December 15, 2011 by jvlgato
swt61 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 USPS Employee: Is there anything liquid, fragile, or potentially hazardous in this box? Larry: Yes...I mean no! Damn it! Just wait until the claim for a dented cap!

shellylh Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Peter: Your gift is on its way. I hope I don't get arrested.
jvlgato Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Damn, reading this re-assures me that I chose the wrong specialty I dunno. You guys get all the glory (and it's well deserved, by the way). Besides, I never get paid when I charge people for stuff like that. The HMO insurance requires a prior authorization, and it never gets approved.
bhjazz Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Peter: Your gift is on its way. I hope I don't get arrested. If it's not a dehydrated human head, you're fine.
Voltron Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 How about a human head preserved in bourbon?
emelius Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 just say glass...if they ask what kind, say SEX AIDS loudly...works even better if there's a line...
jvlgato Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) How about a human head preserved in bourbon? Or in cognac ... human head Griottines ... might make a good Manhattan! Edit: oops, Kirsch liquer, my bad! Edited December 15, 2011 by jvlgato
Torpedo Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 I had missed that Al's comment. I think mescal is the adequate liquor for that
shellylh Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 I thought that How about a human head preserved in bourbon? What about Fernet Branca? I thought that would be a good way to use it up and clear up space in the liquor cabinet.
Torpedo Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Too dense and opaque to show the head. I stand by Mescal.
