CVILLAIN ALERT: SHENANIGANS WILL UNVEIL THE CONTENTS OF THE BOX AT SOUTH STREET TONIGHT AT 8PM!!!!!
During last week’s chatter about Yard Sales, one “Otterdung” was apparently smitten by our beloved Shenanigans and claimed to have sent a package to the Spicy Bear office. Shen said:
Is there a present for me at the Spicy Bear office y’all? I wanna know if Mr. I’m-trying-to-seduce-you-with-my-French is for real or just pulling a Max Bacon…
Parlie was quick to jump in:
DO NOT OPEN THE BOX. otterdung has the upper hand.
And to clarify Echo’s concern, Otterdung put his package in Spicy Bear’s box. There are a couple things we know about this mystery package:
- weighs about 1.25 lbs
- mailed locally
- dimensions are roughly 14*6*6 inches
- otterdung spent a lot of time wrapping the black ribbon around the box, and then made sure it would not be bothered by taping it down
- when you shake it it makes noise…so something smaller is in there
And there are a couple things we don’t know….like WHAT THE HECK IS INSIDE!? Shen said “Oh and it better not de a dick”, and we couldn’t agree more. So Shen, get your tush over here and we can unbox this mystery together and go down in internet glory like these guys:

Am I the only one that is pretty sure what is in the package??? Wasn’t it pretty obvious?
Does it vibrate?
roasted cashews
The postage was $4.11, which is also the number for information-curious
Dudes, I’m at work. In the middle of nowhere. Y’all are going to have to wait in suspense all day until I get back into town.
Don’t open it- can’t you see it was sent FROM INSIDE THE BUILDING!
@5: Then we’ll just keep talking about packages and boxes.
i don’t get it.
@1
i thought so too—
which is why all this buzz will result only in TERRIBLE disappointment for EVERYONE.
No seriously guys… The Box is opening this week
Floozy, I expect a box this afternoon.
It’s Gwyneth Paltrow’s head, duh.
This should be fascinating to about four people!
The shenanigans fan club begins…
IT’S A BOMB!!!
Maybe it’s a fur coat.
maybe its a scaled down miniature model of Shenanigans made out of hair the salons in town throw out.
I think it’s brown/black and stinky. It was probably produced by a member of the Lutrinae subfamily (most likely Lontra canadensis) but given that they’re not terribly easy to find in Virginia it could have been produced by an easier to find member of the Mustelidae family.
Yeah it probably is feces.
IT’S A BUNNY, LET IT OUT!!!!!
So no pony after all you Complete and Otter Bastard…. that’s the last time I give out thank you sex BEFORE I get my prezzie. Oh and you were crap…. I faked.
@21
eh?
are you certain there’s not a pony at CareBear offices; perhaps they’re holding it for ransom and ‘personal-use’?
this is not going well for me out here. i feel like Belmont Yo, no offense Belmont Yo.
Anyone ever been to Danville? Cville Weekly seems to say Danville is the next Cville. Do you think they have 3-dollar cocktails and loose-waitresses (who offer less guff and more {insert euphemism} than my feeeeeeemale acquaintances here on Cvillain so far) like Cville did in the 90s?
Lessssseeeeee… i seem to have misstepped and exempted myself from dalliances with Floozie and Shen.
Who’s left? You’ll recommend that i should’ve kept the pony myself for ‘personal use’…
@22: Wait, I haven’t opened my box of poop yet. Hold on.
Ewww shen’s box has poop in it. Gross!
2@21 Danville is an old mill town without a good college nearby- next cville is doubtful
@23
hold on to what, dearie? otterdung blew it. he’s audi.
@23
hold on to what? dreams, delusions, sunny outlook?
gnight all. funnier tomorrow.
You’d think a picture of shenanigans’ box would draw a little more traffic.
@27: Hold on to see if I give you a hug or punch you in the nuts.
CVILLAIN ALERT: SHENANIGANS WILL UNVEIL THE CONTENTS OF THE BOX A SOUTH STREET TONIGHT AT 8PM!!!!!
i just gave shenanigans her box. i’ve seen 4 year olds less excited on christmas morning.
And finally we have the answer to: “Is This the Face of Evil?”
Well, surely not evil, but a post about a blog commenter sending a package to another commenter? Really? I’m pretty sure that’s what MySpace was invented for, not a blog that’s getting significant media coverage and wants to be more inviting to the community.
I don’t usually go negative here, but this is really absurd. You guys are making me sympathetic to old media, which I’ve all but forgotten. If this is what new media is about, I’m kinda scared.
C’mon, I’m a big fan of this blog and it’s potential, don’t become so insular and immature that those of us who have been championing you can’t do so any longer.
Or, consistent with my name, add a sideblog where stuff like this can be posted but isn’t as prominent. People who want in and to see all the gory details can do so, and those who don’t aren’t confronted so prominently with something so ridiculous. Leave the major posts to items that can involve everyone, not just those who know each other and follow every thread and every comment.
Have a nice day.
Love and kisses,
Suggestion Box
I agree it’s silly but it’s just one thread. Lighten up Clarence.
@32
i’m with SuggestionBox on this one… the damn things didn’t even fit.
@33 - It’s “just one thread” among many. Suggestion Box is making some sense.
“New Media” is a crock of shit anyway.
Well, what was it?
it was ethan and HOH in a box. they jumped out and punched everybody in the face.
Wow…. they must be really teeny-tiny wee trolls since they only cost $4 to mail… kind of makes them seem cute instead of the pair of arseholes I had envisioned.
“New Media” is a crock of shit anyway.
Said Ethan, on a blog.
Thank you for the lovely espadrilles from Caspari, Mr. Dung. I haven’t been a size six since I was 11 though.
@32: Wow, you need to lighten up. It was an amusing little adventure and we were trying to let everyone in on it but I guess people like you aren’t into fun and games.
Its all fun and games til somebody gets an espadrille in their blog.
Aren’t espadrilles slang for running shoes in Quebec?
I feel bad for Otter… he is feeling slighted and seems like a really nice person, even if he has some fucked up Chinese foot binding fetish thing going on.
otter has a soft spot for the ladies just like his namesake from “Animal House”
He shouldn’t feel bad, it was a very thoughtful gift. Unfortunately he was envisioning me as a teeny Asian geisha I think. The funny thing is, the card said, “Is it safe to assume you’re a six?” and all the guys at South Street were like “OH!! He said you were a 6! Don’t worry, you’re at least an 8.”
a soft spot for the ladies
…doing it wrong. Ahem.
@41
you are most welcome;
your courteous gratitude and apt bemusement warm my heart–
in this gross modern age i expected indifference or scorn.
fill in size and i will jubilantly replace them.
it was only later that you mentioned being tall.
@32
i think the Cville article did make it clear that this is not a blog.
@general
Wer mit Ungeheuern kaempft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum
Ungeheuer wird.
@44 i feel bad too, and i haven’t felt bad about anything since c. 2002. this must be really awful.
@48
Stanley:
@general, please do let me know if i misremembered that line.
@48: I liked your handmade card. Hope that wasn’t a good book you borrowed it from. I’m an 8 1/2.btw.
@32 doesn’t seem to get us. This isn’t merely a blog but a sort of blog/chat room/forum. Stop trying to put us in a box people!
/don’t start that again
According to the wiki the german translation of otter is: He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.
@51 8.5 out of 10- that is impressive
@52: Yeah, it’s a Nietzsche quotation and sound advice for playing in any bloggy sandbox.
@53: That’s my shoe size. Hotness wise, I’d say I’m a 717.
717 what’s the scale you are using Boeing airplanes?
Bollocks …you are a 919
@56: It’s Odie’s area code rating system. Echo will give you a linky. It’s more precise than the ol’ 10/10.
@57: You are an eleventy-1-eleventy
@56: Area Code Rating System
@35,36 area: mc, Parlie, and I had a little exchange on here around then last evening in the 11:30/12 range. While not especially funny, the whole thing seems to have been cut out. What gives? No need to repost…it just seems a little weird.
Shenanigans a 717?
/That’s a fair assessment.
60: it’s in the ffa.
Echo-send in the pics so we can create a slide show of the “unboxing”
It wasn’t my camera. As soon as she sends them to me, I’ll pass them along.
i’m an idjit. I thought i may have dreamed the whole thing. Mea culpa, admins.
sleepyhead.
WTF, on top of it all i get this bullsh*t from the goddam stars:
Your horoscope for August 27, 2008 You’ll have a bright energy about you today, and your powers of attraction will be strong. It could be a day of temptation and flirtation, too! There could be someone who has a crush on you, and today will be the day that they make their feelings known. Your wit and innovative ideas should create some positive attention. You should be able to gather some support to boost your confidence.
oh man, otter, I like you more and more every second.
Yeah, otter, you’re sounding pretty hawt today.
“@32: Wow, you need to lighten up. It was an amusing little adventure and we were trying to let everyone in on it but I guess people like you aren’t into fun and games.”
Shen, how old are you, 12? Are you even capable of having a discussion with someone who shares a different point of view without resorting to personal attacks? I offered a constructive criticism and didn’t call out anyone personally. You could have ignored my post or added something to it, but no, in typical fashion you have to be an insulting wise ass.
I know how to have fun and I don’t need to lighten up, thanks. But thanks for reinforcing my opinion that the blog is going downhill quickly. And, if you work for Spicy Bear, you should actually give a shit that people care enough and are willing to post suggestions about the future of the site. I’m not sure if you do work for them, but on another thread, you said something like “let us know if you want to do reviews” and I can only assume by “us” you mean Spicy Bear.
Kyle, nice representative you have there.
Shen, how old are you, 12? Are you even capable of having a discussion with someone who shares a different point of view without resorting to personal attacks?
Yeah. Totally. Good point.
Is this really an argument? Now let’s all take a breath and realize that anonymous identities on the internet are real people too.
SBOX, we love you, even though it wasn’t your box that was allegedly opened last night.
We watch all feedback, nothing’s perfect or fits everyone’s interests. I’m sure if there were a silly thing sent to you, it would be included as well…. hell, you could even make up your own non-cVillain insular post and we’d publish it.
@70: If you thought my comment was an attack than you are just proving yourself to be pretty uptight. All I did was defend the site. But yes, please resort to implying I am immature.
And please also continue to blather on about how the blog is declining and other such nonsense.
@74: lilith would never have let Van Halen open at the Box!
I think we should go forward with conversation about Shen’s wise ass.
@73 I thought one of Shen’s charms was her youthful silliness. We ain’t discussing health care or nuclear disarmament. If this was a thread on the future of highway building vis-à-vis a 5 cent increase in the gas tax then you would have a point. Of course you would also be on cvillenews.com most likely.
@77: It’s good to know some people get it.
@77 not as often as I would like
opps @78
This is cVillain. If you want to get involved, join in. If you just want to whine about what we’re discussing, go ahead, but we will defend ourselves. You want us to stop talking about one post? Contribute a new post. Don’t just diss our Ch-blogorum.
Much in the same way that some people seem to choose to be miserable…..
It seems like some people really want to feel left out.
There is no one guarding the velvet rope at club cVillain.
Participate. Be amicable. Confess to your alcoholism.
/parlie USED to watch the rope. Until he drank all of that Georgia HomeBoy and let in a bunch of Shelbyvillains.
//stupid Shelbyville.
Donk = Genius
Much in the same way that some people seem…
Much in the way the mother cheetah protects her young, so must you protect yours, with insurance from Mutual of Omaha. Hi Im Zombie Marlin Perkins and welcome to Wild Kingdom. Today Big Gay Jim will jump out of a helicopter and attempt to capture a raging wildebeast using the indigenous Nodori tail throw…
um. yeah.
i hate shelbyville so much.
I love shen.. and nonsense or not, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her gift of espadrilles from Caspari — I don’t understand why “silly” posts are scrutinized so much when each individual has an option to choose/choose not to click on a post– It’s just like the radio: if you don’t like the song, change the channel. If you don’t like the topic on the post: don’t read it…
omfg, suggestbox, gee whiz, lighten up - most cvillains just love shen, including my poor pitiful self, especially now that I know she’s “tall” - I’m “tall”, but I wear a 10, so I wonder if she’s measuring herself against trolls, or what.
/sorry to be so absentious and all, lately
Backup, I really dig you but ‘absentious’ is so bogus… how about absentee, not around, MIA….
yeah it’s a fake adjective!
oh man, it’s not even an attempted adjective is it. it’s an adverb’s ugly adjective baby.
If you don’t dig my “absentious-ness”, you don’t really dig mt being absent, no?
/I’ve never, ever felt “digged”
I’m looking it up…
ok, fine, I made it up and I own it. Maybe the word I’m looking for is “abstentious” - look that up, ya’ll
dagg.
we’ll put it on digg’s tombstone.
bp - i know like six people that have an internet crush on you.
Are ya so desperate that you’re looking at my grammer or spelling instead of content?? Wait, ya’ll are all drunker than me and rubbing my nose into it… OK, I get it.
@94 No you don’t, your just sayin’
Thanks, anyway
Damn, “you’re” - I know I’m gonna have to pay a fine, now….
Parlie, you’re one of my favorite peeps, btw
you’re sweet, but you’re drunk. i can’t.
You can’t what…
You don’t know, but I can take whatever you dish out…
And I’m high, but not drunk yet. You’ll know, because I’ll suddenly launch into “the eye of Sauron” mode
backup planet: calm down. There’s a Free For All thread for malarkey and shenanigans (both the commenter and the thing itself).
I’m just fine, thank you, but what’s the thread?
has anybody seen ballyhoo, flim-flam, tomfoolery, hullaballoo, shenanigans, or stanley?
oh hey, stanley. didn’t see you there.
you guys are up next in the pageant of the clusterfuck.
And after it rains
There’s a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It”s not that the colors aren’t there
Poor poor pitiful me…poor poor pitiful me. Nice Zevon reference BD!!! Psst. They don’t like bad grammar here or bad gramma’s. Whole other story there.
@105: can’t imagine who you are masquerading as….
is everyone drunk tonight?
/mememememe!!!
i’m masquerading as parlie!
oh, crap.
hi parlie.
i saw a parlie.
i saw lotsof folks.
it’s still raining.
/wait, i’m still up.
crap.
and wtf?
otterdung put his package in shen’s box and there’s a video on the iweb(it’s gonna take off like hotcakes now that we call it ithe iweb–marketting, ! those apple people have it going on!) -
and mutual of omaha is cool cause they were always the advertizers during the wonderful world of disney.
okayh, maybe it isn’t a good idea to bring me rain, music and a night off.
however, i can spell better.
/damn op techs still can’t come up with a decoder ring for me (well, actually you all).
g’mornin’ sunshines!
/to reiterate, “crap”
being a roadie for an artpainter is much more tedious than for a musician.
at least the music guys want to get out of there.
SCORIOLE GO TO BED
do i really need to find a bailbondsman before we giggle at mr. perky?
(i just chuckled).
YOU GO TO BED;)
i was going to type something i thought wittier, but i just realized i’m out of wine and beer doesn’t really have the same finesse’ with me. and i am not walking to the wine store in half an hour.
/would drive, but car is in the shop. :(.
