four packages arrive. I am surrounded by jealous coworkers.  
 
From m.i. blue:
 
Wasabi rice crackers, which my Italian coworker calls ‘japsnax’
 
CD entitled ‘a conversation with Clara Struve Kingeman, October 29 2002' 
(somehow I can see blue purchasing this)
 
A cockroach encased in resin
 
1 novelty tickler condom (‘not to be used to prevent pregnancy or STD’s)
 
a Mcdonalds sticker ‘offering the world a helping hamburger: World Trade 
Organization’
 
Libro Sentimental ‘con las alas rotas’ (a Spanish romance novelette?)
 
A gold coin that says ‘vote for Mike Schaeffer’
 
Some bird stickers from the 1960’s
 
Hello kitty candy ring and other Japanese and Russian confectionaries
 
The definition of ‘occluded’
 
Science Service ‘Universe’ booklet, copyright 1964
 
A pamphlet entitled ‘how to blow up a church’ by m.i. blue
 
Black plastic coffin that says ‘mr. Bones’ and a jelly skeleton that looks like 
it has been dropped on the floor at least 5 times
 
One of those viewers that you hold up to the light and you see a picture. The 
things they try to sell you as soon as you enter an amusement park. I can’t 
quite make it out, but I think this picture involves an insect.  
 
A 3D postcard of Mary being held up by a cherub about to collapse under her 
weight. On the other side, blue adhered a small brass jesus and wrote ‘in case 
you need a good dose of spirituality, this is the missing link jesus I made. In 
times of tribulation or doubt, just kneel before it, put your hands together, 
and say over and over, ‘my fur will keep me warm, my fur will keep me warm…..  
my fur WILL keep me warm…..
 
 
 
Also enclosed was a small camping knife, which I think blue enclosed just to 
see if he could get it through the post. 
 
 
 
 
 
From dang:
 
Many cd’s, both blank (thank you!) and not blank (thank you!)
 
 
 
From hilary: 
 
Bills that I have had forwarded to her address (thank you!) and a card.  Hey 
hil, if I send you underwear that say ‘mcmurdo station antarctica’ can you send 
me a bra? Mine are falling apart. It’s a harsh continent. 
 
 
 
From Jackie and Julian and Randal:

Tons of snacks and sugar and cotton candy and pop rocks and gummy army men that 
will rot my teeth and make my tongue fizz. Yay!
 
A powdered toast man trading card
 
An interesting postcard of a seal
 
A postcard of a cartoon cactus looking stressed out
 
Purple xmas lites
 
Jackie’s tattoo flash art (very cool!)
 
Them pop-snap-pop things that bang when you throw them on the ground
 
Weekly world news: Saddam and Osama adopt shaved ape baby

Mini pix of the sandwich everywhere
 
Wooden bowling pins the size of my fingernail
 
A condom
 
My favorite pic that Jackie ever drew of a sad clown holding a cholo skull 
saying ‘ I am going to be an authentic human being’
