This Side Up (November/December 2011)

After reading the story of Willie Reginald Bray, the Englishman who was obsessed with mailing strange objects, Kokopelli tried to ship a large container of self-propelling pies to Urania's Face, Kokonino County (thankfully, the address was recognized as invalid by the Kokonino Post Office). If you could mail anything in the world--ignoring the rules set forth by the U.S. Postal Service--what would it be? And who would you mail it to?

I would send letters to groups that weren't nice to animals telling them the advantages of a cruelty-free business.  Otherwise, I would send school supplies to kids in need all around the world.

I would mail a camera, but I would mail it while it was on and recording, and use a camera with a flip screen, and put it on the back of the screen. I would put special instructions to leave it on, and make sure it is recording. I'd also include batteries in an attached package, and tell the post office to put them in incase it runs out.

I would probably email a flip-flop (which you actually can do) to an airport with a spiritually powerful emu attached. I feel sorry for the postman.....
