You could have just canceled it.

Marty,you might want to get yourself tested for anthrax just in case Russ is trying to get rid of his cameo proof competition.

No, he just printed the label! He paid 52 cents to send me an empty envelope and show off his neat label!!

Knowing you as I do, that can't be the strangest thing you have gotten in the mail.

PhillyJoe · February 21, 2006 9:15AM

Living in Illinois is strange.

Getting a Russlabel™ is strange.

Looks like you hit the jackpot today, MM.

So what's more expensive the Brother or your Nikon, and what does that say about your priorities?

granddad · February 21, 2006 11:04AM

Put a piece of fresh meat in it, and send it back to him.

Have a Great Day!

About the same price. The camera was $81 and the printer was $99.95 minus a $20 rebate, so $79.95.

It all makes perfect sense. Print a new label and then test it to be sure it works.

Gotta hurry before the warranty expires.

foodude · February 21, 2006 11:41AM

You gave Russ your mailing address

Quote - "Living in Illinois is strange."

If that is true, then read this.....

LIVING IN ILLINOIS

1. You've never met a celebrity.

2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.

3. "Vacation" means going to Six Flags.

4. You think of Chicago as not part of Illinois.

5. You measure distance in minutes.

6. You know several people who have hit a deer.

7. Your school classes were canceled because of cold.

8. Your school classes were canceled because of heat.

9. You have to switch from A/C to heat on the same day.

10. You know what's knee-high by the 4th of July.

11. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.

12. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.

13. You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition. For example, "Where's my coat at?" or "If you go to town I wanna go with."

14. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain,or an animal.

15. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

16. You carry jumper cables in your car.

17. You don't pronounce the "S" in Illinois like the rest of the world.

18. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

19. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

20. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

21. The local newspaper covers national and international headlines on one page but requires 6 pages for sports.

22. You think that deer season is a national holiday.

23. You know which leaves make a good toilet paper.

24. You find -20 Degrees F "a little chilly".

25. You know all 4 seasons - Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction.

26. You know if another Illinoisian is from Southern, Central, or Northern Illinois and especially from Chicago as soon as they open their mouth.

27. There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1,000 or more.

28. MadMarty is as zany as everyone living there.....

......and I should know - I'm from Illinois, too, and all of this is very, very true!

You don't pronounce the "S" in Illinois like the rest of the world.

FWIW, I have never, ever heard anybody pronounce the "S" in Illinois. That would just be wierd.

Russ, you didn't want to waste the label, but you'd waste a perfectly good padded envelope?

Russ · February 22, 2006 9:45AM

<< FWIW, I have never, ever heard anybody pronounce the "S" in Illinois. That would just be wierd. >>

Nobody pronounces the "S" in Des Moines, either - except here in weirdville. A lot of people around here also add an "S" to the end of Boeing.
