The circle turns, all things come in time: BOARD MIX TRADE III

[Nut Butter]

Umm, z'it too late to sign up? I'm as dependable as a good mug of ale.

 

[coelacanth_M]

i'd like to participate this time round.

It would be a harasser to sending a mix to South Korea.

By the way, 'Mix' means a mix of someone's favorite tracks, right? At first I regarded it as a relay recording, someone records vox then others record guitar, drums, bass... I and my friend have tried to do that... Failed.

 

[coelacanth_M]

i would definitely send a mix CD to korea.
i love sending packages to foreign countries, it's so exciting!
as dumb as it sounds, i always can't believe that the package actually gets there.

Totally agree with you there. That's what makes eBay super-fun! :Spin:

 

[exciar28]

hey, don't underestimate Korea Did you know Koreans are one of several main customers of The End Records?

I can quote many forums here your statement so that almost all of them would send you a bunch of spam-bomb mails. To tell the truth, I don't like an instigation like that

 

[coelacanth_M]

what? no no no noooooo!

i think you misunderstood. sorry.

of course i didn't mean korea, specifically! i *love* korea! seoul is actually one of my favorite places in the world, and i know that it is an extremely efficient country! also, off topic but my favorite drink there is that one where you swallow a live baby octopus and then chase it really fast with this insanely strong korean alcohol! if you don't swallow the octopus/alcohol fast enough, then there's the possibility of it attaching it's suction caps to the inside of your throat, suffocating/killing you!

best.

anyway, i wasn't doubting the efficacy of korea's postal service - i'm sure it's great! i meant more that it's amazing to me that you can send a package from the one country (any country!) to another (any) country that is *so* far away and it still arrives there all safe and smelling like country #1.

 

[FuSoYa]

A lot of time though, regarding certain countries (Australia, Italy) your package gets opened by their postal service, the contents taken, and an empty envelope delivered to your recipient.

 

[coelacanth_M]

or they smash your teeth and then send them back.

 

[FuSoYa]

Yeah! And then they put a stamp on it claiming responsibility.. as if that helps!!

"Oh.. uh, sorry dude! Here's your broken teeth. Bye!"

 

[exciar28]

While writing, I thought I might have misunderstood 'there'. But it was just joking so I continued but now I think it's failed because of my poor english expression

To prevent misunderstanding, second paragraph was a satire on korean netizen(is it an engRish?)'s manner. I heard them tried to knock CNN website down because CNN has spoken ill of Korea. An anatomized joke has no fun! *sob* yeah it is because of me. *sob*

That korean alcohol you mentioned called Soju. I love drinking soju with roast meat. I haven't drank soju for a few days...

 

[exciar28]

whoa it took me a long time to finishing writing. I still SUCK AT ENGLISH (T_T) <-- (this is an emoticon crying. there are huge numbers of emoticons in korea.)

 

[exciar28]

and I will participate.

 

[coelacanth_M]

bwahaha

*whew!* you were joking!

i was so scared that there would be hoards of angry korean protesters picketing my house because you thought i was insulting the efficacy of the korean postal system!

ps - (T___@) this is an emoticon of a guy crying, but his mouth is bigger and he has an injured eye. we use that icon in japan.


ok fine. we don't.
i made it up.

also, off topic but my favorite drink there is that one where you swallow a live baby octopus and then chase it really fast with this insanely strong korean alcohol! if you don't swallow the octopus/alcohol fast enough, then there's the possibility of it attaching it's suction caps to the inside of your throat, suffocating/killing you!

Holy shit. Have you tried this? I have to try this.

 

[coelacanth_M]

Holy shit. Have you tried this? I have to try this.

haha yes, it's insane and scary, but i love it. you can feel a clammy tentacular wiggle/thick cephalopodic stir in your esophagus before it disappears into your stomach, then the strong burn of the booze immediately following it! there's really no other feeling like it. i had three of them consecutively, just because it was such a surrealy weird sensation.

also, you have to chew super super fast because you really do feel the tentacles sticking to your teeth and tongue.

 

[mindspell]

I really need to try this..

Have people ..actually DIED from this? How embarassing!

 

[Firedwarf]

Also does the octopus get broken down all the way? Like, you don't have tentacles sticking out of your poop the next day, do you?

 

[xfer]

it's not too late! i'll close the mix trade and create the circle sometime this week.

i don't mnid shipping stuff to korea, even though i have had bad luck with international shipping. one time i sent a big package of stuff to my girlfriend in Italy. it never arrived, and eight months or so later, she left the country.

about six months after she left, the package was returned. to the house i no longer lived in. the new residents picked it apart and ate the peanut butter and threw out the mixtape and laughed at the love letter and all that nonsense. stupid Italians.
