Why was 338?

Tuesday, August 08, 2006

This is post 338. My how time flies. Especially when I update as infrequently as I have in the past few weeks. I apologise.
This post, however, will make up for all. It comes complete with Dutch mail!

First, to lay the groundwork...
During the World Cup, I happened across some Windows Live Messenger developers blog, where they indicated that Germans can order 'WLM cards', basically businesscard-sized cards which contain your msn email address, and a contact number, if so desired. This being only for lucky Germans, I figured I was out of luck. However, being me, I filled out the application form.
I use a lot of commas.
I had all-but forgotten about them.
Until today.
When they showed up in my mailbox.
First, the envelope. As you can see, it has no postal code, and my country is written as 'Germany'. Some enterprising individual has put a line through 'Germany', and scrawled 'Kanada' beside it. In the upper right, it has a 'postage paid' type thing, and the originating place is Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Somehow I don't think they planned on paying for this to come across the Atlantic. Anyhow:


Note, my street address has been blacked out for my protection!
So that's the envelope, here are the cards, front and back:

I got my tickets to Amy Milan today :D
