I’m sure you would have told us what this thing was if you wanted to, but darn you for making me curious!
oh come on! what was it?
My guess: a delicious sandwich. He *IS* SFWA president now…
Aww, I want people to send me things!
It was Peter Potamus. He was the one who sent you that thing that you just got.
What he sent, I don’t yet know….
I’m betting it was the bacon-flavored “mmmvelopes” and now I’m kicking myself for not sending it to you first.
A printer cover embroidered with keep-evil-away magic sigils?
Or was it Wil Wheaton’s (extremely late) revenge for the Velvet Wesley?
Dammit. Greg (#5) beat me to the obvious pop-cultural reference.
Bacon-flavored ink or paper.
If I was a cat I would be dead.
It’s definitely not what I still have to ship John after Phoenix ComiCon…. (although I did pick up a shipping box big enough for it today…)
Now I’m anticipating a news article in about two weeks that says, “Unfortunately, Scalzi passed away today after being buried under the debris of things people sent him, all trying to vy for the best thing of the internet, the thing of all thingies, the vast thingness of the thing. He will be missed. If we ever find him.”
Lee Whiteside:
Well, you’re not anonymous, either!
Awwwww…
lol toni@13
This is a day for anonymous things. I got a nearly anonymous gift today, too. And so very, very welcome it was.
Was it the thing you said you wanted at that thing we went to that time?
Harlan Ellison Smoothie Kit?
You’re welcome. I think.
An email would have sufficed.
If that’s not what you’re talking about, in the words of Monty Python, “Carry on with the execution!”
That’s not vague or anything.
John – Has your comment box always had a window to a ghostly image of you? Because, gosh, I think I’ve been commenting here for — what — four years, and I never noticed it.
A.J. @8 Here Here!!!!!!!!
Was it the Youtube of a soldier in Iraq demonstrating what he thought of HP5510 printer tech support?

John @ 22, I can’t tell you how many times I cleaned my macbook screen thinking I had a smear on it, until I realised the mark was in John’s comments.
It was a Doh! moment when I finally woke up to it.
@Andrew Carkner
Hahhaha… I remember when that first came out and the huge stir it caused. Glad someone else remembers it.
Is it anything like the “thing your aunt gave you which you don’t know what it is”?
Wait… *I* wanna see the ghostly image smear!
A highly convenient sapper field, perhaps?
Oh, i so now have to just make a random comment like this to see the ghostly image…
Needs more pictures. Anonymous pictures.
