I got a gift this morning: the gift of herpes! The packing label gave it away: this was from #tumblrs.
Gift message:
Dear Marco, bengold was supposed to send you pie but he already spent all of his allowance and since you were probably expecting a gift I got you these herpes because bengold is a lot like a really annoying disease that won’t ever go away. Lulz, -Langer
It’s packed full of so many in-jokes that I won’t even bother trying to explain them. This was a surprisingly funny way to start my day.
(I know it’s not as funny to you, but how could I not post about receiving an unexpected gift of plush herpes in the mail based on in-jokes from an IRC channel?)
