Bless you. Conan + legal deposit underpants!

[Trevor]

 

I arrive at work this morning, tired, worn out and depressed after my Dad's passing and funeral and what do I find in my pigeonhole at work? 

Three sparkly white (minus skidmarks ) pairs of Hanes underpants with a note saying that badmovies.org salutes my shorts. 

The envelope had been opened: I cannot imagine what the famous envelope-opener at my Department must have thought when he saw these. I cannot also imagine what my colleagues must have thought when they saw me standing there laughing. They probably would have thought: "His father passed on: why's he laughing?"

Bless you, Conan for the laugh and thanks once again to all of of you for your kind words and thoughts: you are more than my friends, you are my family.

Trevor, sorry to hear about your father.

Well...........the size "42's" might be to big, but the thing I do know is that most underwear is reversible, so feel free to just turn them inside out every 6 months. They'll last longer.

It's good to know I have friends in South Africa whenever I may be passing through that part of the world.

Thanks, Conan: I started a thread about his passing in the "Lost Friends" child board.

All I can say to that is  and

That's my address: my door is open all the time, but not right now, because I'm at work.

That's why I didn't see it, I don't have access to that section.

My condolences to you.


On the underwear, remember that it doesn't matter if it fits the waist, just so long as it holds everything else.

Dearest Trevor,

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad.  My best male friend David also lost his dad the other day.  It hurts my heart to hear of such great guys like yourselves in grief and mourning.

New undies are a good way to feel better.  And Haynes is a good brand.  But I demand photographic proof!  You're a film guy, you can understand that   

Here's a hint:  two pairs on at the same time make for a smoother line and then you can always get together with your friends later and play "pass the parcel."

I was waiting for closure on that underwear story.  Great ending!

Trever did read the note inside correctly as the code in a previous post verifies. It's official......Trevor has received his new shorts. Of course photographic proof would be fun, but anyone could go out a photograph a pair of "42's" from the store. The code initials was  W.A.B.S.Y.S which was the first letter in each word in the short note in the package. Saying that "badmovies.org salutes my shorts" is close enough as I wrote "We at badmovies.org salute your shorts."

Thanks, Doctor M and KillerBees. "Pass the parcel"?  Uh-uh: my parcel and package be way, way too small.  Oh well, at least I admitted it, not so? 

Photographic evidence: yikes! 

Conan: sorry, I was laughing so much, I misread the note. 

[Trevor]

Update! Update! Very  update!

Apparently while I was on leave, one of my nosey parker bosses demanded that the envelope in my pigeon hole be handed over to him as it "was clear evidence that legal deposit material had been sent to me".   

My manager handed him the open envelope as if to say "Help yourself": the nosey parker saw what was inside, went pale and dropped the envelope! 

Underpants: the new legal deposit medium!!!!

[Jack]

Wasn't that your old underpants that had all the deposit material...oh, I'll just shut up

Karma, Jack: that made me  .

Seems like those smiles are coming back thanks to all the friends on here!

I don't know what legal deposit material is but if mail order undewear is included I don't want a part of it.  Priceless reaction though.

Legal deposit material is as Jack said......ermmmm, no.   

According to SA law, filmmakers have to give us a copy of any film that they make, even if it's a short for television so that we can preserve it. DVD or digital tape is OK, but we prefer a 35mm print actually.

Most of the filmmakers get around this ruling by saying that their production is 80% overseas funded (like Tsotsi for example) and that there was hardly any SA money in it.

Hmmm...(apology in advance here but I just cannot help myself sometimes:)
