What's that about saving the best till last? I hope the customs agents fed the occupants or they'll be mighty smelly by now..

I have it on good authority that wallabys do not ship well.

My pleasure, Brian! I'm pleased it finally arrived!

The ashtray is indeed authentic Amsterdam and I don't believe was ever christened so you may have the honor of doing so. For future reference, the vegemite is intended to be most enjoyable spread lightly on buttered toast. Often accompanied with cheese slices, or spread on crackers with crushed walnuts. I enjoy it on buttered bread with honey the most. Although it's too late for you personally, I'd not recommend eating it by the spoonful for the uninitiated. If you are planning on this method of consumption, video footage is appreciated.

I've somewhat forgotten what else I packed in there so I'll let the pics do the talking but I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did packing it!

Yeah. I tried a spoonful. I decided to lick my cats ass to remove the aftertaste to no avail. Thanks.

Sorry I missed out this year everybody. It's a shame, because I still have two boxes of Christmas gifts from Mr. Kohler and Mr. Grau that are the mye28 version of a hepatitis outbreak. But I know that it's the thought that counts.
