Got a package back today

Was the xbox chip I sold to nintendomad ages ago.

"returned lack of pickup from customs"

:gravedigging:

 

Must not have gotten the notice that he needed to pick something up from the post office? Hope the guy isn't dead.

 

Yes, he passed away.

That's just a weird feeling isn't it?

 

You should do something special with Nintendomad's chip. He can't physically pick it up, but I'm sure he's watching.

 

This is all just very sobering..

 

Maybe we should install it in a custom Xbox, just for him. Then ceremonially incinerate it so that he can play it up there.

 

I will put it on a shelf in the envelope to remind me of my own mortality.

 

This, too, is what I'd do with the chip in question. Wise choice.

 

That's so sad.

 

Man, I didn't even understand the topic until I read down a bit more.

That's saddening, but at the same time, you can't help but feel good for that person in a way. Though it sucks that they're not able to enjoy the world anymore, they are at the very least free from all of the issues that life brings.

 

Hmm it sucks but howcome it took so long? I guess they kept it for a while then returned it via surface mail?

 

They usually return it cheapest means possible.

 

You guys have no idea how big of an object just dropped into my stomach.

 

I second the ceremonial usage and burial, or cremation.
