Jim McWilliams + the USPS

Jim McWilliams, sent me an egg cuber.



Jim and I have a lifelong habit of finding something weird, or funny in a thrift store, slapping postage on it and sending it in the mail.

I recently received an egg cuber. What does the egg cuber do? Why it makes eggs square. FINALLY A WAY TO BUCK THE IMPERIALISM OF THE SHAPE OF EGGS!

It now sits on top of the Rotato he sent me last week.



I sent him Dennis Rodman's book on tape, read by some british guy.



He told me listening to it on his commute (he works precisely 2 minutes from his school, so he's logging four minutes a day, which I find hilarious)

I just sent him a video called "The Jupiter Menace"



It's a Christian "In Search Of" with George Kennedy instead of Leonard Nimoy, and it presents 90 minutes of facts about how the world is going to end in the year 2000, backed up by actual psychics. There's also survival techniques so you can prepare for the coming end of times, from what they teach i assume matches and lighters will be the first things destroyed in the great quake, and that you can shoot the quake, and that quakes don't affect people in bunkers.

One day two years ago Jim sent me a puzzle piece. The next day another piece arrived, then they started coming in bunches for several months. Put together it formed a 1978 Playboy Playmate. He never sent the boobs or bush, only a ransom note.

One day I received one half of a Battleship set. The next day a postcard arrived with a coordinate, you can figure out how that went for several months. I won. Actually I had sank his Destroyer and then received a postcard saying his cat had ended his side of the game.

Jim also sends pictures from other people's families that he finds in thrift stores.

Jim also once replaced his living room carpet with and inch of sawdust to make cleaning up messes easier.

Jim also once put and an old washer in his yard, filled it with bricks, put it on spin cycle and shot at it with shotgun slugs as it rocked back and forth migrating across the yard.

Jim also once attempted to build the world's largest Spork.

Jim also built a tank out of a lawnmower.

Jim also is a 5th grade art teacher.
