It said fragile, so we drop tested it a few times to make sure. Now it rattles properly.

Sorry about the delay... I got a late start, and like the butcher who backed into his running band-saw, got a little behind in my work...

It's JUDGEMENT DAY!ING Time!

In Third is Lynn, with:
'SUP, "We Care"'
Obviously, not very much...

In Second is Carlos for:
Someone ripped the FRAGILE label off.
Nope, it didn't have one...

And in First Place and next pic post is Rob Smith for:
"It said fragile, so we drop tested it a few times to make sure. Now it rattles properly."


And for the subsidiary, (What was inside...) nobody (who tried) guessed the contents correctly, or even got the correct shipping company. This is a shipment from Victoria's Secret, arriving via Federal Express. Given the extent of the damage to this envelope, (there's a cut on the back, not visible in this picture!) I was pleasantly surprised that the contents (a bra and panties for my Fianceé...) were not damaged. I've sent an E-mail to the Victoria's Secret suggesting that they forward the photo to FedEx (along with a photo of the back, and a photo of another shipment from VS, also damaged when it arrived at my location.) and suggesting that they threaten FedEx with loss of the account.

PM going out as soon as this is posted...

Watch out rob, he will force you to hold the holy hand grenade...

That reminds me, what is a "Volunteer tester"? What have you tested?

a "Volunteer tester" is someone who participates in the Seti@home Beta program...

...and holding the HHG is a sought-after privilege, currently held by Brother Maynard…
