Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

Part III - "The Opening"
- - - - - - - - - - "The Package."  "Writing on back, wtf?"  "Insides- aah, now I get it."  "Check out my new tats!"  "You have no idea how difficult this shit was to get off..."  The "book" is actually a stash box. The title is Shakespeare's "Henry the VIII". This shit is already so fucking cool. Someone knows I'll put this to good use.... "Contents of the false-book"  Miniature deck of cards included, plus a glove that reminds me to "always use protection'. "Cheap but poignant"  I love agriculture, so the booklet is actually pretty sweet. The flattened penny is from Shedd Aquarium, probably my favorite place on earth and of great personal importance. A tack. I have no idea why, but I laughed out loud when I found this thing at the bottom. "Just two ladies hanging out..."  "Pure awesomeness!"  Seriously- ninja's fucking fule, Boba Fett fucking rules, Star Wars rules, Pez rules...and free money in awkward denominations is even better! "Jebuz and friends"  Notice how the little guy is stabbing him in the side! This might be my favorite part of the whole package! Reminds me of old drawings i used to do at presby. The cross was made on an old reciept from 1987, with the name "shane" written on it. This thing is old, and hopefully stolen. Jesus would love that. "Well done, sir, well done!"  I'm gonna go out on a limb here and try to guess my secret santa. Many of these objects were to poignant to be given by a stranger. Plus its lots of little knicknacks... and the handwriting is scatchy and child-like... The mailing stamp says Noblesville...so, north Indy. I'd guess Tonguegina, but he didn't even participate. Seriously whoever gave me this, you rule. If you just walked around picking out shit you thought I'd like...well, you're a bloody psychic. And an addendum of sorts: Proof I actually ski'd for 4 and a half hours trying to get to the post office. My bloody toe isn't even in the photo....  Pieces of skin I gave in nubblies honor...  Some of that same skin, decorating a ninja, a la Ed Gein.  |

Not that this is important, but (earlier) I realized that "christmas story part II" was my 4000th post.
Never thought I'd make it that far...then again, I never thought nubblies would make it this far either. Props to all you gents for keeping this ship sailing! |

So yeah, this was mine. The journey of creating this gift, as told by me: In a year where money was short and miscellaneous debris was abundant in every room of my house I had but one option: take small bits of awesomeness from my home and transfer them to someone else's. It all started with a book. I have a few of these "stash books" laying around for another project of mine and decided upon one of the smaller boxes to be the perfect vessel for awesomeness. I had two books to choose from: Gone With the Wind (gay) and King Henry the 7th or 8th (I forget); the choice was obvious. With a sound vessel chosen the next task was to find some smaller bits of awesome to fill it. At this point in my journey the Spirit of Christmas struck me a fearsome blow and my three sizes my heart did grow. I got really excited about find as much random (and still fucking sweet) things as possible to cram into the book. A small deck of cards? Great! A Chewbacca Pez dispenser? Check. No! A Darth Vader Pez Dispenser!? No ... Boba Fett? Fuck yeah! Old Playboys in the recycling box, Carmen must be saved! I continued to do laps of the house, opening drawers, opening boxes, searching piles of debris for things to fill the box. After a couple of hours I had crammed as much as I could respectfully cram into that small book. I just needed to secure it shut so as the contents wouldn't fall out and ruin the magic. Tied a nice little knot with a piece of string; then I saw my rubber band ball. One after another I criss-crossed the bands creating layer upon layer of absurdity. Then a note: WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?! Then another half hour of heavy rubber band application. I traveled to the nearest Walgreens to find a suitable envelope for shipping and thought I better add some Christmas cheer to the outside. 39 cents and half a sticker book later I gave up. On the front there is even a note explaining that I was tired of stickering. Time to seal the envelope! Wait, these tattoo sleeves have served me well, they need to go with the package! I'll just add a little note to the back of the envelope and we're off! Thankfully the lady (disgruntled bitch) at the counter in the post office was kind enough to correct the zip code on the package for me and the deed was done. Some other bits of random information: The paper crucified Jesus was actually something my friend Shane did back in 3rd grade. His dad dropped off a box of his "childhood memories" one day while he was still at work, I promptly claimed the Jesus and to this day it is the only decoration I have ever had on any refrigerator I had. The $2 bill also had a small note inscribed on it with ink pen: "Buy yourself something nice." At work we have no real way to get rid of $2 bills so I buy them out of the drawers and save them, I currently have about $180 in $2 bills in my "stashbox." The note on the rubber glove said something along the lines of: "Always use protection, you may not know where your hand has been." The book on crops was just a random pamphlet I found in a drawer of a desk the previous owner of the house had left behind. I spent about an hour total rubber banding it. Glad you liked your gift, I had no outside consulting ... it was purely just random shit from around the house. | |
