You can write a message which can be particularly useful if it’s a gift or for a client/tenant (ex. from your loving mother, from your neighborhood realtor 555-555-5555) however we will screen messages for profanity or inappropriate language because cursing in your message is bullshit.

Jeez.
I saw an offer for a company that would ship you home air filters - no shipping cost and the price was actually less than what they sell 'em for at Home Depot.
Hell, that's not so bad, I thought. I went through the process, adding in how many I would need, what weird sizes they are, etc.
Got to the end and they were all "Great! Just hit confirm and we'll start sending you filters every two months!" and I was all ok, so there's the catch, slow down cowboys.

not sure what pplains has there, but it reminds me of a "hot dog cooker" that was in my grandparents basement when I was a kid that was apparently a school project my dad made as a youth
it was a board with two metal pieces sticking up (it looked like two segments of a metal clotheshanger) and an electrical cord that looked like it was stolen from a lamp. each of the wires connected to one of the metal pieces. don't even think it had a switch, you just put the hot dog on the clotheshanger and plug it into the wall to electrocute your hot dog
there must have been a much lower creativity/safety threshold in the 1960s

This is like the second reference to a household hot dog cooker I've heard you make in the past 24 hours.
The pic's a model of one of the Unabomer bombs. Could cook a whole pack of hot dogs at once.

can't speak for mh but if my dad was the unabomber this is NOT the way i would've wanted to find out
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:06 (seven years ago) link
xp true, but my reaction to convenience store rollers is "this is an excellent idea"
I'm thinking the direct electrocution method might not work on taquitos and I'm not going to try

did anyone actually get safari cards? I thought they were a mythical thing that were advertised (and I think I had some free sample ones they sent in a promo) but I never heard of anyone having a full set
there might have been a really beat up set of them in one of my elementary school classrooms
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:45 (seven years ago) link
i never had a full set but they gave away packs of ten at my local grocery store and rotated it every week for a year or so. I got about sixty of em?I used to make my own, lol.

I used to get the US history version of those cards. There were some disturbing cards like a holocaust one and a KKK one that freaked me out as a kid.

I got "aircraft of the world" for a while as a kid which was not even a little bit relevant to any of my other interests but I sure loved staring at them.

Somewhere between Safari Cards, Sweet Pickles, and Zoobooks is basically my Platonic ideal for how information should be quantized and rendered consumable. When a friend and I were toiling away on this Chinese architecture guidebook project a couple years ago, one way we kept ourselves on target with the format/design we wanted was to go "well, but would that ruin the Zoobooks effect we're going for?" In fact I think we were mainly talking about Safari Cards the whole time but had forgotten the name.

Was there some kind of a sportscar/aircraft subscription series? I suddenly have this vague memory of getting sportscar and aircraft cards in the mail for a little while.

In the second half, McMorris-Santoro sits with Safety Pin Box subscriber Barat Ellman, a Park Slope rabbi and Jewish studies professor, as she opens her first delivery. Among other things, the box contains a request that Ellman give higher tips to black people and explains that the month’s theme is combating white supremacy through “radical compassion.” Some of the other content is about media habits — “This week, I take a look at the media I consume on a regular basis and evaluate it for bias and worthiness,” Ellman reads aloud from one of the included slips of paper. She also offers some revealing details about why she subscribed. “It embarrasses me, honestly, that I just don’t have a world where I encounter, naturally, people of color,” she explains. McMorris-Santoro asks her how she’s hoping she’ll feel after she’s received all 12 boxes from her yearlong subscription. “I’d like to think — ‘Wow, I will be so incredibly sensitized,’” she replies. “That’s probably unrealistic.”

We say 'no' to ugly neckties, cologne samplers and executive trinkets. We don't save wrapping paper, we don't do ribbons.We ship bragworthy gifts for guys. Gifts that you can't wait to arrive because you know the recipient will love opening them.
Gifts that people gather round at the office, people following the sounds of wood being torn from wood by the included, laser-engraved crowbar.
We are Man Crates, and we deliver awesome gifts for men.
