Roland’s Ultimate Carepackage

A short while back, Roland, one of our favourite UK readers, sent me an e-mail asking if I could do him a favour.

Roland: Hey Mike D. I want to buy a camera, and the camera costs WAY more in the UK than it does on Amazon. Can I buy the camera, mail it to you, and then have you forward it to me?

Mike D: You betcha.

So that’s what happened. But CLEARLY I had to include a few bonus items for Roland. So I decided to prepare: THE ULTIMATE CARE PACKAGE.

Yesterday Roland received the Ultimate Care Package.

    Postcards from Bjork – isn’t that a show on public access or something? Were the fake teeth used? Also, the Cupcakezilla shirt is so awesome.

    Wow. Wow. Did I say wow?

    Makes me want to move to England, and buy a camera through Mike D.
    (Obviously not for the camera.)

    Well done House of Rock!

    So Mike, you took all the money that Roland saved on the camera and spent it on “essential” American things?

    P.S. Ohio is like another country, and no one ever sends care pacakages here!

    It doesn’t really work that way…
    I had a few pieces of mail at the house of rock and i received only verbal notification and pictures of them. i should also note that it was several months after the check within one of the pieces of mail had expired.

    I love the People magazine, but the worst American pop magazine is obviously US Weekly.
