MARMITE RULZ AND VEGEMITE SUX SHIT

oh shit i just remembered: promite >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> marmite.

what is promite and do we have to taste that too?

oh shit accent monkey asked me to send her promite months ago and i never got round to it! i hope she doesn't see this thread and get mad that i sent off marmite to other ilxors so quickly!

Guys I found the bovril! Now I need to figure out a) a way of packaging it and b) US customs laws.

Waitrose - where I specifically went for bovril (but ended up doing a $225 shop) - didn't have any! But they did have vegemite!! The world is UPSIDE DOWN!!!

how many mites do you people have

I had scabies once.

please don't send those

It's okay, they cleared up a good nine years ago. Only infestation I currently suffer from is moths. Though it was kind of poignant - I emptied, swept and bleached the shelves where the moths had been breeding, and a few hours later I found one solitary moth sitting on the back wall in an empty cupboard.

EARLY ARRIVAL POINT TO MARMITE!

promptness is one of itrs core values

yesterday,

jergins: i got mail from so-and-so today.
lxy: but no marmite?
jergins: what?
lxy: no marmite?
jergins: huh?
lxy: are you saying no marmite arrived today?
jergins: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!!!
lxy: DID A PACKAGE FROM RUBYREDD COME IN THE MAIL TODAY!!?!
jergins: all i could hear was "nomar might, nomar might, nomar might."

YAY JOHN JUSTEN YOUR POSTAL SYSTEM DOES NOT SUCK BALLS AFTERALL

i don't know if this has been mentioned, but a little warning:
while vegemite is fairly mellow, marmite is STRONG - only use about half a teaspoon on a piece of bread. (obv this advice is for the seattle crowd, not for you mr justen, who will only be enjoying marmite in a drink. in which case, one whole teaspoon to one medium sized bloody mary would probably be adequate)

lxy, i hope your marmite arrives soon!

I will send the bovril on the weekend, promise! Rubes, did you make any kind of customs declaration? Also, come chat :)

i just wrote "prepackaged food" which is what i usually put when i send chocolate and stuff to jordan, and it gets there fine. no chatz today! must clean room! the minimisation process is beginning and i've already gotten rid of two huge rubbish bags of clothes... i'm boxing up all my books now ;_;

did slow estela send the vegemite yet

nomar might yet

lingbert: no but i have got some bubble wrap now. progress, not perfection.

slow estela sounds like the name of a gullible character from a fairy tale, a plain looking girl with limited prospects inexpertly wielding a broom.

i need to know something, if i include a surprise (a nice one) for sara in the package to john is it going to cause inconvenience, i don't know how far away you are from each or how often you catch up.

it should be no problem, unless it is a really nice thing in which case i will keep it and stop returning her phone calls

estela, I <3 you.

John, you are lucky that I am fond of you.

i know, it helps me get free nice stuff!

I am so tired that I have lost all my impulses to strangle you, John.

WHERE IS MY SURPRISE PEOPLE

FUCCCCCCCK. I just went to make some toast with vegemite at work and some arsehole has finished the jar off and left it empty in the fridge >:O

you keep it in the fridge?

At work, it is put in the fridge, not by me.

oh shit there is milo in this piece of shit i just remembered ^_^

Bovril all boxed up (homemade boxes made from hacking up a case of Amarone) and ready to go!! Hope customs don't play hardball.

Gah, post office is closed saturday afternoons. Sorry guys, will be a little bit more delayed ;_;

that's okay, seeing as our marmite still has not arrived. wtf postal service.

it's fun to know that things are crawling their way to us, ever so ever so slowly.

look who is crawling now

i apologize for my previous post. it's making me queasy.

lxy, it was a bit weird writing "lxy" on an address label - there won't be postal confusion once it arrives, will there?

all her bills arrive that way

LXY all caps no last name

i'm really upset the marmite hasn't arrived. i posted it two weeks ago! i'm going to write a letter of complaint to the US/seattle postal service.

you aren't serious are you

what makes you think i'm not serious?

it's highly mysterious since no one would ever steal marmite.

maybe it's ended up in some us postal service biohazard disposal facility.

estela that is not nice

i was coming from a place of <3, trying to steer people away from suspecting that you only pretended you had posted it, which is what i suspect.

that is akin to saying i like john justen more than i like lxy, which is not nice (or true) at all

that's right, i forgot john justen's had arrived, i will have to do some more thinking about this.

less thinking more mailing woman

sweetheart

dear one

i will be clutching bubble wrap while i do my further thinking, it will look promising.

sweetly, dearly clutching bubble wrap, all the time thinking, thinking, then realising with a start that the post office has closed.

um it's sunday

realising with a jolt that it's sunday.
