I got a package in the mail a few days ago. It was near my mailboxes, addressed to my apt #, but it was addressed to "Mike Patel" whoever that is. I left it out, thinking there was a Mike Patel in my building. I waited 3 days, at which point the package mysteriously showed up on my doorstep instead of in the mail room. I opened it. It's freakin' BUICK literature. That big glossy crap!

Who sent this to me? I know it was one of you guys.

I have to admit it. It was I. I did it because I really care so very much about you and your automotive passion that I took time out of my day to find out who you are and where you live. I then proceeded to go on a targeted snail-mail spam campaign.

A nice thing for a person to have done. Hope that you are enjoying the Buick Literature.

I bet it was the same genius who tried to send me a video tape from the "Church Of Jesus Christ" but they got my address wrong and they had to call me. Naturally I said I told them not to bother, for their troubles I gave them a free subscription to the gay magazine I work at

You sent them a free subscription? Sent who? The person that sent you the Christian stuff?

What was the address?

It says "!!1!" by default, so it's kind of traditional to leave it in.

I photoshopped a picture of his daughter once. And I voice my opinion on GM products. I think he's basically an alright guy though, but I can't let him know that.
