The inner geek in my wants to put a piece of paper in those R2-D2 mailboxes every time I see them.

“Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you’re my only hope.”

I wonder if the mailman would get a kick out of that?

Which, as I mentioned, makes no sense to me because I thought it was alphabetical, and Poppy comes after Dawg but I’ve had my check for… forever!

I want one of those R2-D2 mailboxes.

If I find that devil square in France I’ll buy you some.

And I’m really glad you enjoyed that Coke. smile

I had mine direct deposited, so I think I might have saved a tree branch. .  and a little ink...and postage.

Go me.

That is typical of the idiotic U.S. Government. Wasting money left and right on stupid, stupid shit.


comment by SecondHand Karl  on  06/17  at  08:58 AM

’cause they are freaking government agency and by mailing out a bunch of shit, they are helping the postal service, one government agency helps another one
Stupid shit

The government doesn’t use PayPal?


comment by Miss Britt  on  06/17  at  09:08 AM

You expect something different from the government? They waste money on bullshit and then cut programs that actually could help people.

I got one of those letters too. It said something stupid about enclosed check, then said we should be getting it by the 20th.

My husband sent me an article about it. Some people got two checks. Some people’s money went into someone else’s bank account. Sounds like a fuster cluck to me.

That’s some mighty fine ranting! Well done, dear wink

Mine was direct deposited but they sent me a letter telling me they were direct depositing the check...after they already did. 

Shall I send you some Little Debbie products?


comment by melanie  on  06/17  at  02:07 PM

I got 2 letters on top of the letter telling me it was going to be deposited.

What a waste.  (and they could have given me more money had they not wasted it on mailing all the shit out!!!!)

Here in West Virginia, we LIVE by the Little Debbie, we LOVE by the Little Debbie, and when we’ve eaten until it ouches, we DIE by the Little Debbie.....

I would send you 14 boxes of them, if you’ns (we say you’ns here in DubV) wanted me to…

I love the mailman who comes to my office. He knows my name, brings my packages to my desk, asks how my kid is… The one who comes to my mailbox at home… is psychotic. As for the wasted mail from the government… definitely par for the course. It would be nice if elected officials would do something about waste. I’m sure they don’t because they’re afraid THEY are the waste. And they wouldn’t be too far off base now would they?

My 80 year old mom rarely complains. She was livid when she got this pre-check letter. What a fucking waste of money!!

The economic stimulus thing has got to be one of the more stupid things the goverment has done..."We don’t have any money and the ecomomy is tanking, gas prices are horrible and the housing market is fucked forever...but here’s a thousand bucks!”

Um, yeah.  No.

Dumbest shit ever.

Interesting. *I* got a letter from the IRS saying “here’s Dawg’s check - we want to play a little prank on him so we sent you his check, and we’ll keep stringing him along awhile.  Call it a social experiment.  Besides, you wanted Rock Band for the Wii, right?”


comment by whall  on  06/18  at  10:03 AM

We had one of the R2D2 Mailboxes about a block from where I live.  I felt a little safer those nights I knew he was on guard.

B.E. Earl- I know I would get a kick out of that!

Poppy- That Coke was the best Coke I’ve had in years

Bucky- You are a true American Hero.  I would have done the same… but I like the feel of the check.  I also like the sound of the coins dropping from a slot machine… and ever since they did away with that… slots have never been the same

Karl- What kills me about it is that it isn’t just ANY money… that’s MY money at work.  Bastards made me pay for my own useless junk mail.

Charlene in Arkansas- Well, generally governmental agencies don’t help each other… I think it’s more of the IRS’ way of sticking it to the Post Office.

Britt- Actually they do!  Do you?

Finn- Well I had hopes.  Hopefully someone *COUGH*Obama*COUGH* will change it.

Lynda- Oh I totally agree… a total Fuster Cluck.

LisaB- Why thank you!  You have to admit though… all those R2s rolling down 7th Avenue to the Post Office would be quite the sight!

Melanie- Wow.  That is REALLY dumb.  Thanks for the offer… but the moment has passed.

Mutt Royalty- Exactly!  I should have gotten $600.42!  Bastards!

Miss Anne Derstood- I thought I may need to move… until you said you “Die by the Lil Debbie”.  That killed it for me… cause if I go it won’t be from someone with pigtails.

Winter- Actually, I think you may have nailed it on the head.  Congress would be throwing themselves out with the recycling.

Jane- Obviously, your mom rules!

Miss Ann- At this point… I’ll take it just so I can have gas to go to the Dunkin Donuts.

Whall- If that’s the case… Rock Band rules… so it’s worth it.

Delmer- Funny you should say that!  I actually do have one that guards your room!  It would guard mine… but I’m afraid he’d get washed away during the next torrential downpour.

E-mail with your Little Debbie request and I’ll mail some to you.  We have them every where.  I’ve got a fat ass to prove it!


comment by Lisa  on  06/19  at  09:06 PM

Rasie the bulk rate, what an awesome idea.  I hate all that stuff, it goes straight into the recycling.  Now could you work on the guys that leave the flyers on my porch and around my door, drives me nuts.
