The RNC decided to send around a donation beg-notice in the form of an "Official Survey!!11" to my house. This thing was monstrously huge and must have cost a fortune to print and bulk mail. You'll notice later on that they grovel for a $15 "Survey tabulating" donation--classy. They also asked on the mail return envelope that you stick a stamp over the bulk mail return postage to save them money. Naturally, I declined.
Instead they will get some new artwork, courtesy of Starry Messenger from my empire here in Revolutionary Silicon Valley. I thought I'd share:

I leave my sediments, words. Then I place a few small round stones in the envelope, like maybe they will get the idea and have to pay extra as well. I don't use sand or anything that looks like flour or sugar, so the mail folks don't get upset.  |

If I pm the urls, the pictures will try to show up as pictures, because DU's software automatically displays them.
Here are the addresses with a space. http: //i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae35/mpkartist/391411_4353336830754_1281952165_n.jpg http: //i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae35/mpkartist/557045_4353337190763_521348333_n.jpg http: //i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae35/mpkartist/481050_4353337550772_1812669251_n.jpg http: //i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae35/mpkartist/406311_4353438913306_1182661407_n.jpg When you paste the address into your browser, take out the space between the http: and the //. Hopefully that will work! I'll be going out for awhile, so hopefully if this doesn't work, some awesome DUer will see this and have some better ideas. |
