Even MEAT to the UK? Surely it would spoil on the journey? (and/or cost a fortune to ship). Unless you are sending LIVE MEAT?

Would certainly love to get some MEAT to the UK! Form me an address and I’ll see what options they give me at the old post office. 🥩🥩

Matt, I think this will work, but can you shoot me your phone number to put on the customs slip?

Expand full comment

I sure can. I've emailed you some details. Curiouser and curiouser...

Does the meat come in different angles?

The next entree is being prepared but I do have dessert if you’ve got a MEAT tooth--I mean sweet tooth... 😸🥩

Can I request that the meat be made out of human flesh?

Request away!! 🥩🥩

You are doing a foxton of French toast and this creative diversion is so fun!! I hope you won’t judge yourself too harshly while you’re getting your goldfish crackers together. Your word wares are well worth the wait. Xoxo

Thank you my dear. 🥩🥩

I'm not only a half-vegetarian/vegan, I'm also traveling. You're not sending real meat are you? My address would be my brother's house, and he's notorious for not going through his mail, which could be fatal here...

Let’s send it to your brother’s and if it gets lost in the mix we’ll try again when you return. 🥩

Truth be told, I’m struggling to create enough new content that I can both

1) post here, AND

2) submit to magazines (most places won’t accept story submissions that have appeared previously online).

We're in the same boat. Let's hope no one on board gets ebola.

(I won't apply for free stuff as I already feel you spoilt me with the birthday present, and want there to be enough for everyone else. Thanks again, by the way. Hopefully any morning now you'll be opening your mailbox to something other than another electricity bill).

Hey Rob!! Oh good I'm so glad your 🥩 arrived in one piece. And thank you for being a willing participant!! 😊😊😊 I could try sending to a magazine that accepts reprints. But hell, maybe I'll just send some MEAT packs by mail for the fun of it and see what happens.

You are a marketing genius.. or you’re not, lol! I received my package of meat today and it was delicious. I will be sharing a portion with my two daughters and my mom. Regardless of whether you have given away free meat that some hungry souls would have paid top dollar for, you have certainly succeeded at putting yourself, your name, and your “meat” (as to not spoil it for others) out into the world in an insanely creative manner. Well played! Congratulations, Maegan! And thank you so much for sharing your talents with us.

Heather!! So glad the 🥩🥩🥩 arrived safely and thank you for seeing the fun in it! 😊😊😊 These were fun to put together and I'm glad you were up for the mystery of whatever the heck I was going to send you. Thanks for reading! Until we MEAT again! 🥩

“I think someone sent you meat” is what my wife said after accidentally opening my package because she thought it was hers. Just finished reading. So good. I literally LOLd twice. My 7yo girl and 9yo boy came over the second time and asked to read it. I told them “This is adult humor”

“We laugh at movie jokes when you and mom laugh, even if we don’t get it”

“This is a little more adult than Christmas Vacation”

Haha, thank you so much, Adam! Glad it made it to you, glad you enjoyed, and glad you didn’t share with your kids! 😆 😆
