I'll leave it to @noglider if he wants to share the details. I'll just say he sent me some spoke nipples. They went in an envelope, so to keep them stationary they got taped to a piece of paper ripped out of a magazine, if I recall. To whom and where they landed was immeasurably hilarious, although I believe it may've been unintentional at the time.

Oh, and Tom, since I already tagged you here, you should have email. Give me a shout over there and I'll get some rat traps out to you on my dime. I owe you one, and I'm still steadily paying forward Mad Honk 's generosity from last year.
I regret to say I barely remember mailing some spoke nipples to @francophile. He reminded me last week that I had wrapped them safely in Anthony Weiner's crotch. I guess it was a newspaper clipping? He sent me this image, apparently related.

I regret not remembering this as well as francophile does, but I'm glad it keeps entertaining, and it has entertained me again, too.
