Used to get paper cuts on tongue when licking envelopes. Now they have that self-seal type. Safety in action.

I think some of the Moocher affiliates are going to need a logo change too. How much is that going to cost us?

I would have loved to see the parody versions of the stamps, like “Pole Dance.”

LOL

Do they have a stamp of a kid putting a condom on a cucumber?

It isn’t shades of the early USSR. It’s *exactly* that same plan.

They are pushing our disarmament,
reordering the economy in a radical manner,
aggressively rooting out religion,
working feverishly to destroy morals and families,
nationalizing industries.
They are building a domestic spying agency,
They are building the hard enforcement infrastructure of a security state.
They use normal government agencies to investigate and destroy POLITICAL enemies of the party in power.

People, Obama is running a revolutionary socialist government. It’s not debatable. It isn’t German or Russian in nature. It is simply a modern, American flavored revolutionary socialist regime.

I'm old school from the days when we played on metal sides that reached temperatures approximating the surface of the sun.

N.B.: “Tosser” (UK, slang, pejorative) A male who masturbates. Which puts a whole new meaning on those lemons.

I thought this was going to be a Seinfeld-like story about toxic glue.

Here are the offending images:

“cannonball dive, skateboarding without kneepads and a headstand without a helmet”

I guess if the little dictators can’t force us all to comply with their safety commissars yet, they can at least force the stamps to comply!

They should replace it with a stamp showing Michelle sitting on her fat ass, stuffing her face.

Those were the days. Evil Kneivel bicycle ramps, jumping off the roof the house, climbing to the top of the highest trees, playing on beached ships and barges on the banks of the Mississippi River, swimming in water with alligators, chasing the mosquito fogger truck like it was the ice cream man, M80s, cherry bombs...

LOL.... another FAIL!!

Note that USA is in cursive.... most of Obama’s sons and daughters wouldn’t have been able to read it anyway.

Yet the government wants to run my healthcare... LOL

Ha! Also, we had the wooden merry go rounds that would fill your behind with splinters, two ton teeter totters that could catapult (or castrate) a kid, and those metal monkey bars that some kid broke an arm on every single year at school.

They replaced one of the forbidden stamps with a close up of Michelle Obama's butt.
Was it this one?



Or this one?



This one?



I know, it was this one...

Where's the rugby stamp? How about the fencing and karate stamps? Screw off, USPS.

Seriously, we are about to the point of changing all of our 300+ vendors to electronic billing and payments. We are not big enough to implement EDI or negotiate favorable rates from a transfer bank, but we can emulate the best features with an additional bank account, a couple credit cards, and internet components. Inbound http, outbound https. Save a few hundred on postage here and there.

“climbing to the top of the highest trees, playing on beached ships and barges on the banks of the Mississippi River,”

Check out the movie “Mud” with Matthew McConaughy, I bet you would dig it. Couple of river rat kids roaming around getting into trouble.
