To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Tim, don't post things like that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

In the paper yesterday, dude decides to steal a boat from a boat yard, realises there are CCTV cameras watching so cunningly decides to turn them off before he takes the boat.

My new watch is on the truck for delivery today, so I guess it's time to retire my 11 year old, busted up Coach chronograph.  I wonder if my asshole UPS dude is going to just toss it on the porch and not ring the doorbell like he does with half the stuff I get delivered, or if he'll actually have someone sign for it.  This is the same guy who just left my TV sitting out there.  I went to go water the lawn later in the afternoon, opened the door, blam 40" LCD box just sitting there.  Thanks for letting me know, buddy.

Not even USPS?

When I order something from the US not having USPS is a deal breaker. When from Canada my choice is Purolator.

UPS charges me 50$ to do the border transactions, total BS.

Well, I might have lied in the previous post, since I didn't check the 6-8 business day one.  That one might have been USPS.  It was free shipping though, so I went with the overnight option after clicking through the two day and 3-5 business day versions, which were all UPS.  USPS would stick it in my locked mailbox, which is always nice.

It would work better without the Tie Fighter in the background.

Boba Fett, Frodo Baggins, the movie version of the Barad-Dur, a mounted ringwraith (probably) and Tie Fighter.

It's amusing if you're into Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings; perhaps a little more so if you realise one of the Star Wars EU authors obsessions resulted in Boba Fett's resurrection from the belly of the Sarlacc.
