You cannot guess what was delivered today...

My Orange Crayon !!!!!!!!!!

I am not kidding, proof, through photo's, is coming asap...

This little crayon was in a rush, from Canada to the Netherlands in like 2 maybe 3 working days....

Preacher, is there any way I can buy my R1 Dvd's through you from now one, because this is just magic !!!

btw: My crayon did not come with a digital camera, which was ofcourse a minor letdown. Guess it was understandable since the shippingcosts would be like way to much ....


And it was shipped in excellent condition, pointy all the way !!!
Also the Adaption Certificate is sheer brilliance !!
I am shocked and very pleased it went through. The pictures look great and the crayon looks very good in Holland.

ProjectMayhem: Thanks for the answer to the Trivia question. We will wait and see.

Buford T Pusser: How'd you get into our photo album?

einTier Yes it is?

Ofcourse, it's bound to happen.

List to do for the orange crayon:

1. Red light district, Amsterdam
2. Meeting Queen/Princess of Orange, The Hague
3. The (topless ) beach of Scheveningen
4. A "Coffeeshop", anywhere in the Netherlands
5. The apartment of Paul Verhoeven and Famke Janssen, both in Amsterdam

Remember, this is just the toplist, many more idea's spinning in the back of my head. But if you have any idea's to do for my little crayon, then please let me know.

btw: Anybodyelse received a crayon yet ?????

No crayons here. I was also amused that the package made it from Canada to the Netherlands days ahead of packages going from Canada to the US.

I think the Netherlands pictures will be very interesting. As for an idea, when in the Red Light district, any chances of getting a picture of a prostitute with the crayon? Clothed and standing, just holding the crayon. Or you could put the crayon in a condom, and have her hold it then. Just tell her you are trying to promote safe sex through humor.

The crayons being sent to the U.S. are probably being asked to take their shoes off before going through metal detectors, chemical detectors, biological detectors...

No, it was calculated according to weight and somewhat for dimensions. The packages were all about 15 grams, so we shipped for that amount. For Canada/USA/International. The packages were too wide with the crayon inside. The hope was that it would balance off and the packages would go through. The problem became width of the package and possibly 70+ shipping at the same time. What they wanted was double the stamps. None of the 2nd/3rd shipments came back yet so the smaller amount, may have gone through. May have gone through. We will see in the next 2 days.

You know a single crayon has got to look suspicious on a monitor.

I emailed you and never heard back. Was not sure if you got it. There are 2 members here where there names were changed/incorrect so another Adoption Certificate was sent out in its place. Your crayon was never in there. It is still on its way.
