A long long time ago, I took part in one of X-Play's Mr. Sark videos. The game we played was Condemned 2: Bloodshot. What we did in it, was play Hide & Seek. The game was simple, if you get found, you get killed. No running or fighting back. If you were the last to be found, you won.
I was one of the lucky ones to be found last. Now, the winner I believed was supposed to receive a free t-shirt or something like that. I sent Mr. Sark my address and what not, but I never received my free stuff.

I've never waited [B]in[/B] my mail before. I, however, have waited [B]for[/B] mail. (check thread title)
It would be funny to wait IN the mail though... like in the box. So when the mail carrier comes with your package and he opens the door you can go "OMG GIVE ME MY FUCKING PACKAGE I'VE BEEN WAITING IN HER FOR A FUCKING WEEK, BITCH!"

Pretty much anything I buy from custom loadout takes an EXTREMELY long time.
Remember Captain Underpants books?
There was always a little tidbit in the book somewhere that if you send them a letter, they'll thank you by sending you something in the mail. (I assume it was some cheap plastic toy or something)
