I am 1337

I am 1337, apparently.

Somehow, in Haxor speeke, the numbers 1337 translate to to LEET. Which means Elite, or so they tell me.

So, i.m either a much loved 8-bit space shooty-trading game, or a really bad Lotus. Oh I hope it's the game. Really.

Anyway, why am I "1337"? Well, it is all because of this:


See? Even cafepress think i'm "1337"!

For some reason, 1337 got scrawled on the side of my Cafepress shipment. A shipment in a 7x7x7 inch box. That, by the way, is 343 cubic inches. In real terms, its the engine displacement size of a small American car, about sixteen Fiestas or an eighth of a fishing vessel's massive engine plant.

Seven by seven by seven. I don't actually recall ordering anything that big.

So, what was in the box?

Well, to start with, a shed load of bubble wrap. Honestly, freg-loads of it. I ate most of it.

And then, at the heart...

One ceramic tile and two small badges (one not pictured, obviously).

What? They posted me that in 7x7x7 box? Jesus H. Christ on a Moped.Two slats of card and a Jiffy would have done!

Think of the environment! (Bubble wrap can function as an insulation medium, unless you let me run up and down on a wheelie chair popping it all).

Anyhow, enough of the complaining about the shipping box, let me tell you about the products...

Well. I can't find a single fault with the badges or tile that I ordered. Both were printed perfectly. I'm really impressed. I'm so impressed that i'm going to use cafepress to supply a large order of badges for a project i'm working on. I hope to see their shirt printing results soon (which, I am told will not take up an entire container).

I am impressed. So impessed that I urge you to click this button:
