I've Been Thinking: Get Them Excited So They Don't Notice We're Screwing Them

Get Them Excited So They Don't Notice We're Screwing Them

That's right...that should be the motto of the US Postal Service who just announced the 30th Anniversary commemorative Star Wars Stamps. I thought Elvis stamps were cool, and then SuperHero stamps were cooler, but this is even WAY cooler than either of those.

Did you see that? Don't blink...you might miss it. You think this is a cool announcement too, but did you notice what I noticed? Maybe you already knew. Maybe I don't pay enough attention to the news. That stamp has a 41 on it where the 39 should be. Apparently on May 14, 2007, the price of stamps is going up to 41 cents! Is that the cost of getting into bed with George Lucas or the actual cost of mailing a letter? I know what I think...how about you? Did any of you know about the increase?

I could buy my own ship for the price of those stamps! Yeah, but who would you get to fly it?

We're doomed, doomed I say! We'll be turned into scrap for sure by these postal employees.

Let's lick this stamp and head on home.; 9:00 PM
