does Burgess want to hit ME for no apparent reason???

Here's the scoop...A lot of great of BOTL's and SOTL's hit Burgess and me (they really BOMBED the crap out of Japan) over the Christmas Holiday.

Since then, Brian and I have been coordinating our "Return Fire" and picking out our targets...

Today I received a HUGE box in the mail from Brian with a TON of "GOODS" that he wants me to ship out to those who hit us during the Holiday...(Did I say it was a huge box??? it was!!!)

Anyway, I can understand Brian sending me some "stuff" to "Return Fire", but Brian goes way out of control and sends ME three (3) Gurkha X-Fuerte's and 10,000 yen to mail all of this stuff out... (he must be part of the 315press cult)

My to Brian is question is...

WHY????

Let me guess.

- Without your help, he would be paying a lot more to ship the items back to the states.

- Cause you let him experience what a herf is really all about, cigars and commoradery (SP?).

- Cause you're Big AND Ugly. (Had to throw one zinger at ya)

- Cause you're a friend.

post 2 and 3 are RIGHT ON! post 5 is way out in left field!

and btw, for those keeping track, that is the EXACT SAME BOX, TBU sent me 3 or 4 days ago.

and when those cbid packages arrive, take what you want...i could not do this without you, brother.

Sounds like something I would be happy to be part of.

Be thankful in all things, it could get worse.

well, i tell you this. it is EASY to send him cash when he GETS my cigars from cbid, mails them to me, gets bombed (with extra stciks for me from generous BOTL/pufferbelle and ruggysgirl), and does not mind sending my return bombs with his fire! all that postage...come on! he deserves the money...was starting to feel a little late.

Brian is truely one of the nicest and most geniune guys around. If he lived a few thousand miles closer (unless that would put him in the middle of the Pacific) I'd make the drive to shake his hand (and give him a noogie or two)!

Quit your bitchin Big Ugly or I'll start sending you cash too! LOL

Bill,

I'm getting ready to send some BOMBS out from Brian and me, but we're (I am) STILL waiting on Brian's Cbid shipment that he won on the 25th of January!!!

I's a pretty BIG order and I hope that it's not stuck in Japanese Customs, again. If it is, I may need some cash, I'll be sure to hit you up.

Thanks for the $$$ offer,

Jim

it may take a while...josh@cbid said:

"Brian,

I understand some shipments may only take two weeks but that is not a common occurrance. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If I may assist you any further, please don’t hesitate to ask."

so, i gotta wait another 6 weeks before i call him out!

^^ WOW, that is odd. I have never had one take more than two weeks to APO, and I am way the hell up north. If it takes 75 days, it is lost somewhere. My understanding is that Japanese customs does not even have access to our mail. I could be mistaken, but I would think if they did, they would try to tax the gars. CI and CBID have always shipped to me via USPS Priority Mail. A lot of companies "say" that it will take up to 75 days to APO/FPO because once military mail arrives in CA, it is in the military's hands and gets overseas via mil air or boat if parcel post. Hopefully it wil arrive soon.
