Thrik Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Dude. If you're going to alter people's avatars, at least make them not suck.
Ray Jones Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 dude. that "altered" avatar is exactly really .. sucky. it fits perfect. *location: wall-mart* .. *wall, naked and crying jumps onto a pile-o-voodoodolls-o-thrik* tsk.. that crazy wall.
Yufster Posted January 21, 2004 Author Posted January 21, 2004 So, like, this post-letter-thing... assuming that I posted this letter yesterday evening, which I did... when will it arrive at the Final Destination in California?
Guybrush122 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Depends on where you're from. I think from Lungfishopolis to mCalifornia, that's about three weeks (assuming Lungfishopolis is ABOVE sea level).
Skinkie Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Knowing the US postal system, 4 years, 3 months, 17 days
Alien426 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 I was in an actual "post office" yesterday. It took about 20 hours to move 3 meters in the line. Going from that, I estimate that an e-mail which has to travel 20 billion kilometers should arrive in 200 years. But those are all just rough estimations.
Yufster Posted January 21, 2004 Author Posted January 21, 2004 No no no... I mean let's assume by now it's in America, right? In the airport. Or maybe even in a post office by now. How long could it possibly take? Surely a week at the most?
Guybrush122 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Surely. Actually it really depends on where you are in relation to California and the plane route. Impossible to tell untill you've done it once.
Mr Flibble Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Most of my letters go from my home in Northern Ireland to the Mainland. And they are mostly cheques for crap I buy on eBay. It'll arrive within a week. Although to America.... Surely your postal system can't be as bad as our's, right? I find this notion of a post office intriging. I have only ever been in there ONCE to buy wool for a scarf I was knitting. It's still in my house somewhere. I can't finish it because I can't remember the rhyme..... Or find the second needle. I don't know why I didn't just BUY a scarf... Oh, I remember! I WILL NOT let Mark's & Spencer's bleed me dry!!!!!!!!!!
Yufster Posted January 22, 2004 Author Posted January 22, 2004 Damn. Irish post is much, much worse. I calculate: ERROR
Ernil Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I find this notion of a post office intriging. I have only ever been in there ONCE to buy wool for a scarf I was knitting. Um. Ummmm. Oh yeah. I've been there. Nebraska's place is quite like Flibbles, but instead of wool they sell, lions are on the market.
Mr Flibble Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Hey! Don't Ummm at me like that! I was a bit pissed.It was cold.M&S is in town. I was at the Kings Square. Post Office. Cold.... Scarf.........i'm not gay!
Yufster Posted January 22, 2004 Author Posted January 22, 2004 You know, there's a magical border that separates England and Ireland... And the moment you step across it, into the UK, you are gifted with the ability to spell. Isn't that amazing? P.S. Except for me, I can exist on either side of the border with this ability!

Scarf not at post office.
Skinkie Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I think Wal-Mart is capable of serving every purpose imaginable. To bad I'm boycotting them for not having goldfish when I went to buy one, also they only sell edited CD's, how gay is that?
Mr Flibble Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 Well, since I live in Cherryvalley, I have no understanding of this WalMart. Paracetamol at pharmacy. Car in shop. Scarf in M&S. WOOL IN POST OFFICE. But come on, it was years ago. I personally hate Virgin Megastores. You can see through the steps so I get vertigo. Also they didn't have the Indy game I wanted. That new one where he goes to China. But never ye fear, I got it for christmas.
Skinkie Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 Whoa, there's someplace in the world that Wal-Mart has taken over? Their like the galactic empire of super stores.
Ernil Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 You assume Flibble exists in our world. Bad move. This guy gets wool at a post office. There are infinite possibilities for where he's from.
Mr Flibble Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I live in Northern Ireland. ASDA DOES NOT EXIST HERE!!! During the ASDA ad, you'll see a caption the says "Not in Northern Ireland". We get Spar ¬¬ My Post Office sells all kinda crap. Cards, stationary and wool. I live in CHERRYVALLEY! Does that mean nothing to you people? (Actually it probably won't)
Skinkie Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 Your trivial comments mean nothing to me, see you were right.
