I'm going through today's Snail mail.
One letter is basically hardcopy SPAM.
Front of the envelope, in drop caps 1/4 inch high:
Two Homes Are About To Be Blessed...
Next to the address:
Yours First!
Back of the envelope, filling entire backside in a handwriting font, again 1/4 inch high (USPS must LOVE this):
DEAR JESUS,
WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL BLESS SOMEONE IN THIS HOME SPIRITUALLY, PHYSICALLY & FINANCIALLY. AND PLEASE DEAR LORD, BLESS THE ONE WHOSE HANDS OPEN THIS LETTER. MAKE GOOD CHANGES IN THIS ONE'S LIFE AND GIVE THEM THE DESIRES OF THEIR HEART. WE PRAY OVER AND BLESS THIS LETTER IN YOUR HOLY NAME. AMEN
To accent their point, the underlines are in red...
Daniel, I got that exact same thing last week. Did you open it? (I did. Extreme weirdness.)
Now I want that spam.
Also, Daniel, I was thinking of you while watching Venture Bros., and fell madly in love with Dr. Venture's line:
"I want a second opinion. Oh, wait... I'm a doctor! You suck, and I'm leaving."
Yes I opened it. And yes, extreme weirdness. "Look into Jesus' eyes you will see they are closed"
Um...
It was almost enough to make me change my tag line, but there's a Futurama line I'm going to change over to right now.
Two Homes Are About To Be Blessed...
I got that too! It contains a paper prayer rug that you're supposed to leave by your bed--but you must send it back the very first thing the next day so they can send it to the next lucky recipient.
It's a badly Xeroxed Persian-rug type border around a fuzzy picture of Christ with the crown of thorns. His eyes are closed, but (vague quote) if you gaze on his holy face with your request in mind, slowly his eyes will open and you will feel his love and compassion.
IE, stare long enough and optical illusions will take hold.
Hubby said he was going to send it back. I protested, then remembered that the reason I took over the bills was because he never sent them in. It's still somewhere. I have reservations about participating in magical rituals that arrive by mail.
I wonder what I have in common with Hil and Daniel other than Buffistas.

I got that snail-spam today too! It's already in the recycle bin for tomorrow's collection.
Seriously weird.
Mmm. I wondered why my mailbox burst into flames today.
Color Xerox? Because mine is color. Still cheaply printed.
