Hey all...I wanted to write this for an article but it didn't work out, so I wanted to share it anyway...I'll let you know where you can read the article pretty soon...

but here are a couple pictures from the "happenings" :lol:

I realize the Letter will probably not be legible...But it just addresses me and tells me that they took 50 cigars, and that I'll be getting notified soon.....then after the letter I recieved an empty box with the small piece of paper inside, (the Gov Notice) Well, I guess it's the risks we face!!

At least you're not going to get in any trouble other than not getting the cigars...

Did the place from which you ordered "guarantee" delivery?

They sure did Guarantee!!! That's the only way to go....

Otherwise I'd be screwed, I feel bad for the shipper, who is out 6 boxes!!! :shock:

We should not talk to him again!
He could be on a watch list & if you ae found to be a friend,
well they can do all kinds of mean ugly nasty things to you.
They can force you to sit on the Group "W" Bench.
& we all know about the people on the Group "W" bench!
Congradulations!

After Smoka sent me copies of the letters I became paranoid as I had a few boxes of "forbidden fruit" enroute. Thankfully they arrived right before Monday Night Football this week so I can sleep better at night again :lol:

I hang out on computer nerd forums, and I have yet to see any of them match the density that the emoticons are used on this forum.

Yeah, I love the emoticons they provided here. For a wannabe Vaudevillian like me, they're great, although my use of them has annoyed some people to an extreme and gotten me slapped around in the locker room a few times. I also had my clothes stolen twice while I was in the shower, and once when I thought I had called a taxi company to take me to the local lunch hole near the giant AmBack complex, a couple of the staff tech guys had fixed the wires to go through to some joker making BELIEVE he was the local taxi company.

I never made it to McDonald's that day.

McDONALDS!!!!

Whew!!! Good thing that story was fiction.

Eating at McDonald's. That's a frightening thought. :bolt:

I for one will not be trying to find out anytime soon, now that Bloof has sicked the authorities on me :lol:

Seriously though, I don't know. I was wondering the same thing.

One the problems with interent shopping is when someone finds a source and all of a sudden there is a large amount of orders.
Even more if they pass the name around all their friends.
The Vendor can get a red flag & many of their packages be taken.

I hope you won't get in any trouble over this.

You won't will you?

I haven't even ordered from him yet nor have I told anybody of the source, so it ain't me.

But if the orders are gonna be guaranteed against confiscation, you gotta figure it doesn't happen often. If it doesn't happen often, they can't have flagged him. And if he still has the offer, he knows the system better than us.
