Gift or Gremlin?


I got a surprise package in the mail on Saturday. It was a tube containing 4 posters. 2 copies of this one,

and 2 copies of a President Bush one. You can order them here. The surprise is that I didn't order them. I thought about it, but didn't. But they came anyway. $4.60 charged to someone else. I figure it has to be one of four scenarios.
  1. I have a secret admirer. If so, I assume that you are reading this. I know your name because it showed on the invoice, but I'm not going to reveal it. Thank you for the posters, I'm really flattered. I'm very much not available though. It was very thoughtful of you to send 2 copies because my best friend/husband enjoys them as well.
  2. I have a fan that sends gifts. Awesome! Really freaking awesome. Thank you, and you rock! I've never had a fan before and unless it is proven otherwise, this is the scenario I'm going to choose to believe and revel in the head swelling. I know your name, so no one else can take credit and therefore possession of the well deserved cool points you have earned.
  3. It's a gag gift. If so, you think I'm a liberal and the joke's on you. I don't really think that is the case though
  4. There is a gremlin lurking in the servers at yaf.org. It is possible that Mr. Cool really just ordered them for himself and the ghost in the machine sent them to me instead. If so, and you just happen across my blog, I still think you are cool and would be happy to order these posters for you on my own bill so that you don't miss out on the conservative goodness. That would still be acceptable, but I would rather believe that I have a fan.
So, anyone care to guess what the scoop is here? Are you the giver and want to come forward to receive your cool points? You can remain anonymously cool if you would like. I know your name, but the other people who read this won't find out unless you come forward.

And yes, everyone who takes the time to read my blog is automatically considered cool. But there is a hierarchy. Readers are cool, those that comment are cooler, fellow bloggers that link back are awesome, and anyone that sends gifts is seriously amazing. Especially since any gift received is completely unsolicited. Welcome, but not solicited.

UPDATE: Well the people at YAF got back with me. Apparently their site got hacked. It was a gremlin. And I was really hoping for a fan.

Since I'm commenting, does that make me amazingly cooler?? I like the Gremlin idea, but only because they are so cute and cuddly (until the whole water thing). Hope you're having a good week and we're keeping Granddad in our thoughts.

That makes you both awesome and cool. Thanks!
