Hell... I have a free subscription to STUFF magazine that I can't hardly keep up my reading on. I definitely don't need it.

Somebody give me a "Change Of Address" to submit to the publisher and I'll do it today. :up:

[Sully]

I'll send my Cosmo's ;) lol j/k

[Brizz]

Actually Sully you could send those...There are "female" troops as well. And us guys read it so that we can get inside womens dirty lil minds......

[Sully]

hmm.. good idea... :idea: .. just need an addy.. ?.. :)

[Brizz]

Call or write Cindy, she can point you in the right direction.

[Sully]

Maybe Haywood will see this and pm me?.. If not.. I'll check with Cindy :up:

[~Barn~]

Yo Chad. PM me your addy for ya. and I'll get some STUFF sent out your way. And don't think that I'm not going to address it c/o Haywood Jablome. :lol:

[~Barn~]

Um... Okay. As long as they know what the fuck that means, then you're golden.

:lol:

[SpArKy]

Anything that you can think of too send that would kill time is a good thing...

-Hand held games (Solitaire, Poker, Etc)

-Any Non-perishable food items

-Magazines

-Personal Hygeine items

-DVD Movies

That kinda stuff...And if you are really feeling charitable, there are LOTS of little villages with kiddos that have nothing and can use everything from socks, to clothes and so on.

[Sully]

So is there anyone interested in donating stuff to send ?? Come on peeps... you know you wanna help :)

[~Barn~]

Damn! Those "freelance" guys over there are making some serious gouda. They should be donating gameboys to the troops!

[Sully]

Werd !!!

[wulf]

a dozen decks of cards and a book on card tricks will be on the way shortly.

I'll see what else i've got. I sent my brother a lot of stuff last year.

I'd send my tv if i could, seriously.

[haywood jablome]

This is very true!!! I can hand stuff out and take pictures for you guys, then post them on the site. I guess it could be GOOD publicity!! "COSPORTBIKECLUB helps the littel Iraq kids.....

[Sully]

Yeah.. all 2 of the CSC members.. :(

[wulf]

I got some fruit leather and some nut-roll candy bars to throw in.

I'd do more, but i just got done replacing a major part on my truck, and now i need to drop the tranny.

Not to mention i may not have a job soon...

It'll be going out tomorrow

[Nick_Ninja]

I wouldn't have to send a package if my president didn't have an IQ of his shoe size --- mothha fuckkka.

[haywood jablome]

kOOL, thanks alot guys, i know my troops out here will like anything they get!!!

[wulf]

Try to repack your stuff in the flat rate boxes, you can save alot of money. $8.10 vs $32 for a 7lb box of goodies.

Don't forget to fill out the Customs forms.

Chad, you're welcome. I hope to be able to send one once a month or so. My brother never even called to tell me if he got his, damn Marines anyways.

If anyone has a few small things to send, PM me and i'll put it in with mine.
