Well, I Declare!
Bacon, Bizarre, contests April 21st, 2010I’m sending out a prize package to Babs of Beetle Blog for winning the latest What’s That Wednesday contest.
She lives in the UK. I’m in the US.
My post office insists I complete a customs declaration for overseas packages, including a description of items being sent.
The clerk probably thought I wrote this just to see if anyone pays attention because, aside from the card, tell me this doesn’t sound totally made up.
Note to Babs: Be sure to take the monster out right away and feed him. He’s going to be hungry by the time he gets there. And probably angry.

They may just think you’re sending the package to a not-easily-grossed out 7 year old. 🙂

hi Kathy,
I’ve got to start stopping by again more often. I love your sense of humor!
BTW, I’ve been looking of pickle bandaids for a while. Where did you find them?

Shelly — I heard from Babs after she received the package and she said the mints did actually taste bacony and weren’t bad. How ’bout that.
Linda — Thank you, my dear!
leah — I wonder why. A donut? Seriously? Kudos.
Ron — Ah, yes. The troll dolls! I would happily send you a finger puppet monster. If you get this message, send me a note with your address. I have a box full of monsters just waiting to make new friends. Check out PerpetualKid.com for all my cool stuff. Prepared to want everything!
Tracy Farr — See, now. I can’t tell if you’re being facetious. You’re a tricky bugger.
Jenn of Many Cabbages — And addressed to a fun name like Babs, they probably didn’t bat an eye. I don’t think I used her real first name!
The MIA Trade Show Guru Steve — Yeah, dude. I’ve missed you! You can get pickle bandaids most anywhere. Do a general google search for them. Amazon.com and PerpetualKid.com are both places you can order them.
v — I would be honored if you would.
