He really enjoyed the movie.

My fault

Everyone is likely clear on this, but it bears repeating…

seawolf is badass!

Dude's enthusiasm for what he does is unparalleled

[Megatron1505]

Dude, you need to stop talking about The wolf or he might play his sick ass tea/ bank fraud game on you 

[seawolf]

Ha! Thanks jdl1279

Gav - That was my first international incident! Who knew sending you tea would cause a full bank account audit and credit card audit, laced with international intrigue!

[jdl1279]

I would love to hear more about this international incident Though wolfie doesn't have to ship internationally to me, so unless he sneaks plutonium in with my order I think I should be safe. I just thought the guy deserved some credit, never had someone work as hard to be certain he knew what I wanted, and we are only in the development/estimate phase. I was sharing my thoughts as a guy who hasn't dealt with him like this yet, as I am sure there's more.

I sent the Trons some tea around Christmas time. Before I had a chance to tell them who it was from they had been notified of a delivery, and they started calling the tea shop, pouring over bank statements, calling credit card companies, etc. The tea shop told them that someone legitimately bought the tea but wouldn't divulge the identity of the purchaser (that wasn't my doing) but they were convinced that there was foul play. As a last ditch effort, Gav posted something on Facebook asking if anyone had sent tea, as this was sending them into a panic, and that's when I came forward.

classic, I can see Cassie doing something like that, I can even here her arguing 'I don't even like tea" with the postal carrier. Come to think of it, I better make sure I receive my package, scared she might send it back

[seawolf]

It'll be insured, tracked, and signed for. Can't take any risks

Edited for punctuation placement.

To be fair I was sent a "thank you for your order" email for something I had not ordered. Panic ensued.

[jdl1279]

I got you, you freaked thinking you may have been charged for something you didn't order. We budget for everything, so I am too familiar with the experience. Gotta admit, it's funny as hell though

[Megatron1505]

I've been stung heavily by fraud in the past, so I am super paranoid about things like this. I'm going to get a measure of revenge by sending Wolfie a few of my old CD's and marking the box "warning- contains Anthrax" 

[jdl1279]

I haven't dropped the number on her yet, waiting for a good mood I keep selling her on the quality and longevity so when she asks I have the prebuilt defense.

[jdl1279]

Sprinkle the top of the box with confectioners sugar before you tape it

[Seul]

Just write down some ALLAH AKHBARS across the box…

[jdl1279]

Damn Seul, I thought the idea was to inconvienience him, not get him black bagged and stuffed in a van ::) He's still got work to do, I can't have that

Sign wiki leaks as the return address

Just heard on BBC News, it was the wettest January in England since 1776  :o

Widespread flooding and travel disruption for many weeks now, feeling for all those affected 

[seawolf]

You guys are brutal! I'm glad I'm usually on the sending end of things.

@Madame:

It's too bad about the disruptions. That's never fun.

1776 was a great year though!
