Every time I buy something from Japan with EMS delivery, it's always the same guy delivering it. He's seriously really scary. He ALWAYS shows up really early in the morning (around 6-7 am), and he's really tall and extremely cross (and bug)-eyed! He always freaks me out when he shows up and I can never understand what he says. I love that guy though, as he always brings me the the absolutely best stuff there is (like Falcom and/or Yahoo Japan deliveries and such, hehehe). :wink:

Holy f*ck, 6-7am?  I thought you guys hardly ever worked up in those neck of the woods.  :wink:

Seriously though, I wouldn't be such a happy camper having to answer my door at such times.

Well the EMS deliveries are different. The standard post office gives you a piece of paper in the mailbox saying "you have a package" and then you get to call them whenever you want and they'll deliver it. As for regular mail, it's delivered by noon 99% of the times (once it got delivered by 3 pm for some reason. Very unusual).

EMS packages are usually brought to the door by the mail dude/dudette.  If I'm not home, then a slip is left in the mailbox telling me to get my ass in gear and come down to the P.O.  Usually my mail was delivered between 5 and 6pm for the longest time.  Sometimes it even came after 7pm.  However for the last few months it's come before noon or right after.

Thats because ever since Alec promised to move to Canada if Bush got re-elected and broke his promise America has taken the stance that the Baldwins suck. So now all you deserve is late mail. Take that you slave of Sir Topham Hatt.

I loved Thomas the Train back in the day. I use to have a couple of really awesome Thomas the Train toys too! Made with nice metal.

The question is - Why in the hell did George Carlin do that Thomas the Tank Engine show?  I think he lost a bet with God.

I don't know what's funnier... That your mailman was curious about all your Japanese packages, or that you actually explained the Neo-Geo's region system to him. :shock:

Yes.

Alec Baldwin is fun when I pay him $9 bucks to entertain my son for a couple hours.  I lost all respect for the Baldwin family when I saw Stephen was involved with Slap Shot 2.  I would rather have relations with Saddams skull than watch that movie.  Carlin does a mean Thomas the Stank Engine, but Baldwin's Topham hat is the best.

Haha, after I made my post, I was wondering the same thing!

I know that Thomas the Tank Engine has a video game...on Super bloody Nintendo. :roll:  And you thought Barney's Hide and Seek for the Sega Genesis was bad. :roll:

I'm amazed that I haven't heard any stories about any suspected packages from asia being bombs. :P

I'm not amazed.  Middle Easterners are not from Asia, they're from the Middle East.  :wink:
