    Not to mention my hands. As I've been told by someone much smarter than me, I'm an excellent hands-folder.

    It says no to alcohol here:

    USPS – Can You Ship It?

    Obviously there are ways to skirt the rules (wrap well, make sure you can't hear sloshing, use electric tape to make extra sure bottle tops don't pop off, etc) but technically you aren't supposed to. IIRC, in most states you have to be licensed to do so from UPS or FedEx.

    Hitting the road soon....after I pack. I may have procrastinated a bit on the packing.

    Plan9, I assume that their hatred of me is completely self-contained and doesn't need to be listed.

    It's supposed to be 90 degrees this week... I don't think I'll need a snuggie :p


    I probably forgot something, and I probably won't realize I forgot something until I'm unpacking. Oh, well. Packing up the laptop now, see you guys in about ten hours!

    I've shipped stuff too, even six packs of beer. You just have to wrap/disguise it carefully.

    I wasn't saying it couldn't be done, just to not be blatant about what it is. ;)

    Pictures a package sent from Pigs Hollow, TN containing 5 gallons of "mouthwash" addressed to the shippers cousin, someone named the_jazz who lives way up there in that there "big city" with running water and everything. And rumour has it even those newfangled telephone things...

    There's only so many ways to disguise beer. :)

    I don't have to go into work until noon today. Thank FSM for small mercies.

    Wrap electrical tape tightly over the tops. Wrap the bottles in bubble wrap. Put them in a box. Place 1-2 small items in the box that will rattle a bit (couple of LEGOs, bottle caps, whatever). That distracts from any sloshing sound. Tape the box very well. Then go ship your casserole dishes. ;)

    I can't mail TO Ohio, but I can mail from Ohio to Oregon...only because I made friends at a local beer joint and they said I could ship to them, a licensed to receive type place. They're even going to reimburse me for the shipping if they can have some of the Yuengling.

    Just'a good ol' boys
    Never meanin' no harm.
    Beats all you never saw
    Been in trouble with the law
    Since the day they was born.

    Straightnin' the curves
    Flattenin' the hills
    Someday the mountain might get 'em
    But the law never will.

    Makin' their way
    The only way they know how
    That's just a little bit more
    Than the law will allow.

    Just'a good ol' boys
    Wouldn't change if they could
    Fightin' the system
    Like a true modern day Robin Hood.

    I totally just imagined you belting this out on your front lawn wearing nothing but tighty-whiteys and a bib made of dried Chef Boyardee tomato paste / beef slurry.

    No-no, I added it. You know they'd never give up a chance to mention you, even if in disgust. It's one of those angry-face-wet-panties things.
