The mystery box
It might make the journey to England but the odds of it getting to my neck of the woods I would guess are rather slim.

Hmm... I leave for vacation on Friday and won't be home till Monday the 26th - so, don't send me the box (till after that date!) We wouldn't want the mystery box sitting around, unloved, would we?

And YES - I already PACKED my copy of NSU so I can take a picture and enter the contest! Hah!

You never know, before I sent it off, I wanted to send it to a very remote person/place but I no longer had his address and he has not been active on the site in over 6 months-so there is always the possibility!

Neat thread.
Don't know how I missed it.
I'll put my address on my website or profile for those keeping a master list of addresses.

See everyone in Dragoncon ...

(p.s. Can the "box" be in the vacation photo for the other contest?)

Well, in the true spirit of the Mystery Box, an odd thing happened at my house. The Mystery Box started growing out of hand and finally with the miracle of science, we had cell division. That's right, it grew until it doubled in size, and then split into two! There is now a Mystery Box "A" and a Mystery Box "B"! Both were shipped to their next stop on this strange journey yesterday, and two lucky Card Talk members will soon have a surprise in their mailbox.

Well, Box B found it's way to my door today!

I took out a few goodies and will be putting a few goodies back in and will try to get box B on it's merry way to someone new tomorrow.

I will take a picture too with the NSU before sending it on to the next lucky recipient. Still trying to decide who should get the box next.

So, Barrett, you're saying I wasn't your number one choice??? I'm devastated. Oh, well. My wife says I wasn't her number one choice either. Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

By the way, can someone explain to me how I do that "quote" thing y'all are always doing? I can find the quote icon but have no idea where to paste the quote....

You were my #1 choice when I did decide to send the box out-which is what counts since you got the box!! Thank goodness I lost his address! Big Grin

I can think of three CT'ers that live in Victoria, even though we reckon it's a remote possibility of it hitting Oz, I'm the only one in Hobart, and you have more CT friends than me Razz
I reckon you'll get it first Wink

I believe Dobby has hinted in another topic thread that it may well be on it's way to ENGLAND to a member of the board whoes ID starts with R and ends with T and has recently reached gold status.

I wonder if he has my address??? Wink
