A few years ago, I received a plain brown box in the mail. It came from my ISP, Speakeasy, and contained a nice Speakeasy-branded mug. There was nothing else in the box, and no explanation as to why I'd been sent the mug. I logged into their IRC servers and asked about it. I found my logs of this conversation today while looking for something else:
