I got home from work last night and my wife said I received a package. I wasn't expecting one so I was already curious, and anytime you receive an unexpected package you get excited. Here is the package:
I didn't immediately recognize the name, although I did remember insight's first name being Phil and that he was from California. However, I wasn't sure why he'd be sending me a package out of the blue. So, I opened the package and immediately starting laughing my ass off and knew that it was not from Phil. Here is a picture of the contents:
This picture does not do it justice. It was the size of a shoe box wrapped in carpet. When I opened it my wife said "Why would someone send you a brick of carpet?" I told her I'm not sure but it has to be a joke of some kind. Well, the joke turned out to be on me!!! I couldn't get the damn carpet off the box. It was glued on and screwed on and was a pain in the ass to remove. LOL I had to find a blade in the house somewhere, and the only one I could find was an old, rusty box cutter. Might was well have used a dull butter knife. Anyway, I finally managed to get a majority of the carpet off which resulted in this:
Now WTF do I do? I am not a mechanical person by nature, I can't fix or build anything. So as I'm looking at this figuring out what the hell to do, I'm thinking "you diabolical bastard!"
So, I get a hammer and a flat head screwdriver and start chipping away. I started with one strand and went rivet by rivet, cussing and laughing the whole time. The anticipation was obviously killing me! After a while I managed to get one side free and then just started chipping away at the wood. This thing was built with care and skill!
Finally I created a hole big enough to remove the contents. Here they are:
Thank you to the random bomber, it was fun and frustrating, but also generous. If you only knew how much of an idiot I am with tools, you'd be laughing your ass off picturing me figuring out how to open the package, and then fumbling around trying to get it open.
Thanks again! :thumbs:
