Envelopes

Back in the days before email and cell phones, my siblings and I used to send a lot of snail mail, often with 10-page letters, always with newspaper clippings. We had a lot of Big Thoughts back then. But part of the fun was decorating the envelopes, usually with irreverent headline clippings and similar odds and ends. Good ol' post office - they'd deliver a letter to my address, even if it was addressed to Dan Quayle or the Knight of the Living Dead or whatever other random thought had popped into someone's head.

James and I certainly didn't have the drawing skills to do this, however. Pity.

No, by god, we sure didn't. And looking at this, I have to say it's a shame we didn't.
