Julian Cash is a genius.

You may know Julian Cash as that guy who takes the cool OSCON photos. Which is enough to qualify for genius.

But that's not enough, oh no.

The fucker mailed me a ball.

No packaging. No box. Just a ball.

He stamped and addressed a ball.

INGENIOUS!

And if you look closely, the address is written backwards on the opposite side. You have to look through the ball to read it.

DOUBLE GENIUS!

(Also, I love the USPS for delivering a ball)


Julian's balls

He mailed me one, too!

I went to the PO box and found the key to the locker, figuring it was some O'Reilly giveaways or something. And I went and opened it, and there's a ball in there that barely fit. It's crazy!

He is crazy insane!

I thought it was wonderful. Mine looked rather different than Schwerns, so I am curious to see yours (too). I'll post pictures tomorrow...

Oh yes, it's wonderful. Please don't think that "insane" is the opposite of "wonderful"! :-)

Balls all around

We got one, too. ziggy can post a picture. And a lucite block last month. Who expects to find a beach ball with stamps (cancelled!) stuck to it sitting on your doorstep? Weirdest. Mail. Ever. That Julian . . .

my ball

I got a *dinosaur* from Julian

My nine-year-old son was hugely amused by this. We were discussing who might've done this. I mentioned that I had a friend in college who wrote and mailed herself letters from Kristy McNichol and said, "There's a lot of weird people in the world."

"Some people attract them more than others," said his dad, flashing me a glance.

My son stops. He looks at me, he looks at his dad, he looks at me, he looks at his dad, he looks at me, he looks at his dad.

His dad says, "Hey! What are you trying to say?"

My son and I bust out laughing and we high-fived.

Seriously, I was freaked out when I opened the mail box and saw a lizard. Then when I saw its stamp collar I knew what was going on.
