Mystery Ink No. 9

[naimitsu]

Congrats to the winners!

And apparently when I take 2 days off from the forum, I totally miss throwing my hat into the ring! Oh well! Next time I suppose

[Sailor Kenshin]

Alright, this one didn't draw much interest, which I hope it isn't proof of the wisdom of crowds. We'll have to see what people think of the ink.

I have enough of MI9 for eight volunteers, so that's what I'll do here. Last time, everyone outside the US received it, and I chose randomly among the US volunteers; so this time I will do the opposite. MI9 will go to:

akapulko202
BCDDiggler
sgtstretch
Sammyo
Crazyorange
Jon Szanto
Hawk
tiffanyhenschel


I believe I need mailing information only for sgtstretch and Hawk, so if you could kindly PM or email me, that would be great.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's take on this!

All that is required of our MI9 volunteers will be a willingness to try an unknown ink, MI9....

Sounds dangerous.

The orange one was. To my poor eyes.

Also to certain wallets.

Yay, yay, yay, yay... I shall send out the message! Inkvengers Assemble!!!!

I'm saddling up the turtle to take your envelope!

Try putting reaching stripes on it... or painting it red... or asking the USPS not to route it via Saturn this time

I live in hope.

Actually, I sent out the international packages yesterday. Normally I'd wait to mail the US ones till Monday, but because some domestic mail has been very slow lately, I just went ahead and mailed all the US packages today. It can be a race!

Oh, and I learned that postage prices just went up again. Not for a regular letter, but for a first class package and apparently some other things. Insert sad trombone sound here.

I just learned that as well, though I found out that standard 1st Class includes tracking now. For small, less-expensive items, I don't mind not having insurance, but being able to track it is helpful. You know precisely, sort-of, where it has dropped off the grid.

This is great news. Today was the last day of school, so I'll have lots of time to play!

[sgtstretch]

Looking forward to inking it up!

[Neo]

Ha! Yes I got that you were jesting & responded puckishly in kind 

I noticed that! And I did think your comment rather took the biscuit. There ought to be a 'boom tish' emoticon. I would so use that right here.

how 'bout this?

[Laura N]

Awesome news: the first MI9 sample has landed!

[Uncle Bud]

Congrats winners' let the reviews commence.

Awesome news: the first MI9 sample has landed!

Not on your floor, I hope.

I am exactly the person who would, so I will say "not yet" instead of "no."

[Sammyo]

I don't know what you fed that tortoise, but he was on fire when I pulled him of of my mailbox! MI#9 is in my hands and soon in a pen.

Time to rally the troops...

[sgtstretch]

MI9 hit my mail slot this morning. Looking forward to inking it up.

[Jon Szanto]

No, really, that's ok. I can wait.

[Laura N]

Looks like the USA won the MI9 race, then. Since it seems to have not yet made it to our three foreign shores: Israel, Canada and California.

[tiffanyhenschel]

Mine arrived yesterday. Mini review coming soon...

California???

[Jon Szanto]

California???

It was all over the news. We've been busy moving furniture around and stuff...

[Sammyo]

I tried waiting... but I couldn't resist getting something up here. Below is a very quick "First impressions" page.

I am in the progress of organising the Inkvengers group review, hopefully it will happen soon
