My roommate said I couldn't get 10 people from this board to send me cards for my birthday. Prove him wrong, Massassi Army.

My birthday is the 10th. You don't actually need to send a card from Hallmark or anything, send it however you want.

Edit: To win the bet they have to be in by the 15th.

will you still win the bet if the card doesn't get in on time?

Fincham: Where are you going?
Me: I have no idea
Fincham: I meant where are you sitting. This wasn't an existential question.

I would... but if I send it now I'm not sure how likely it'll be that it gets there on time.

I could send it express from NZ and hope that it gets there in time.

Heh, how would that look? An URGENT birthday card from NEW ZEALAND.

If you send it by Friday, it will DEFINITELY get here by Wednesday of next week people. Hell, if you send it on Monday it will probably get here by Wednesday

I'd send something, but it'd probably take a week to get there (Central Europe FTW).

My wife keeps a box of various cards laying around, so I found one.

I'll try to drop it in the mail Thursday.

I tried to shove it in the door, but it's sealed all the way around. I need a way to get it to you without paying postage, because I'm too lazy to buy a stamp

Is there a dropbox for on-campus mail?

You could probably just give it to the people at the Post Office.... office

Won't there be a big delay between Canada Post and the American mail people?

For those of you at RIT, don't use your RIT address as your return address, he might get suspicious.

Stickz, I just realized this but there's going to be problems because your real name won't be on the address. They get kinda pissy about that.

The people on the post office say you need to go down there and fill out a card or something so they'll accept mail for "fishstickz", otherwise the mail gets returned to sender.

(wish I thought of this sooner, that's why I don't get mail for Jagged Fel)

That's a bad idea. I started getting creative with my return address for Christmas cards one year. The few that I signed as "Santa Claus" made it through; the one I signed as "Abe Lincoln" did not. :argh:

That's what I was wondering. But I figured mine would not have gotten there yet.
