So, today we got a parcel in the post, and being the impatient sort who're not likely to wait for christmas, we opened it. It was a knife. The knife came with a card, but the card only said 'Merry Christmas', nothing at all about who it was from. Now, most of our family and friends are, shall we say, 'unusual' people (read: fucking mental), but who do we know that might have sent us a knife with no explaination or prior warning. I already checked with Ba, and he said he wishes he'd thought of it, but it wasn't from him. This leaves me a bit puzzled, and even a tiny bit frightened.
Weird... maybe they forgot the fork, spoon and other items to make up a brand new cutlery set for your leisure Have you checked the postmark to see where it was sent from?
Definitely a strange gift, would it un-puzzle you if I sent a copy of my User Manual? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Not me either, I wouldn't have wasted the postage, I would just have planted it in your coat pocket so you got arrested and stripped at the airport security check EVIL PUPPYYYYYY !
It sounds like someone's idea of a joke, probably with the intention of freaking you out a bit. You must have some bizzare forgotten pals.
I still have Bob and his letter. Hsing, I *did* take part in the Secret Santa, but this still seems a touch on the unusual side... For clarification, we're not talking about a butter knife here, but a meat knife. It appears to have been ordered online by someone and sent with this little card, as Garner says, which simply reads, "Merry Christmas".
It definitely looks like a take on the *stabs* thing. If it's been ordered online, you should be able to find out who sent it in any case. But maybe the person outs his/herself...
I just checked the secret santa lists and your present should be coming from the US not the UK... So the plot thickens.
Creepy. Seriously though, if no one comes forward in the next 2 weeks I'd have a talk with the local police. It was ordered by the 'net so there should be a trail...
I'm sure it's just a family present. Seriously, our families are all completely mental and not terribly efficient at the whole communication thing. We'll find out which well-meaning relative sent it soon enough.
Really, Ba's kind of annoyed. If anyone is going to send Garner a mysterious knife with a Christmas Card, it should be him.
Somehow, one feels that pie-cutting knives just won't measure up to a meat cutter. Sounds weird though, sinister even. Just stay extra careful, even if it's probably someone's idea of a prank.
Samphs, I can assure you that Ba has many knives of many shapes and sizes. After all, the, um, filling needs to be... cut down to size.
yeah, he wanted to get us something that would last, and be useful. he says these are the best knives in the world and will last for ages if one takes care of them properly. i'll need to get a steele now though. when i moved over here, i picked up a big 'ever-sharp' chopper at Tesco's, and was given a matching set of four smaller kitchen knives as a wedding present. they're still quite useful at cutting, despite being two and a half years old or older, but time has yet to tell if they'll be the knives our kids learn to cook with and accidentally maim each other upon.
#Nervous laughter# And he didn't think of like, putting in a card or something? Strange. But then, my family are wierd too!
