Recipient proceeds to "go postal"

 
stevetursi 2004-06-09 09:30:07 AM  
ok, the packages were from a period between 1985 and 1998.
the postal worker was fired in 1998.
she worked for the post office for 8 years.

so, the question becomes, who stole the packages between 1985 and 1990?

Cabbage patch kid will wind up on ebay.

"L0NG L0ST CABBAGE PATCH K1D RARE L0L 1 0F A KIND LQQK WTFOMGBBQ!!11one"

Someone will probably pay 10 times its value.

That thing will be worth some green if it is unopened.

I wonder if they found the petition?

The postal worker just wanted to play with the doll for a while. Stingy.

 
scarylonghair 2004-06-09 12:05:56 PM  
hmm...several dozen parcels found in her car...but not enough evidence to get a search warrant for her home...WTF?

BTW...the post office still has my decoder ring somewhere...

 
Marlas_Cancer 2004-06-09 12:06:14 PM  
...Nina Roxanne...

The that sounds like the name of a 40 year old dried up window licker.

I remember witnessing full-on brawls in the aisle of Toys R' Us back when those things were popular.

stevetursi: I was wondering the exact same thing.

 
feel_the_burn 2004-06-09 12:07:17 PM  
the article failed to mention the Cabbage Patch Kid is now a jackass Cabbage Patch Teen riddled with misdirected angst.

 
holierthanthou 2004-06-09 12:07:28 PM  
you beat me by 16 seconds...helloooooo, mahakala

I think what this article needs is a good picture of Newman.

GUINESS BAR TOWELS
This explains why they've all been delivered.
;-)

Your Cabbage Patch Kid is now old enough to vote.

 
Sheena 2004-06-09 12:09:00 PM  
That must be where my $1 mil check from Prince Charles has been!
*runs to check mail*
Damn. Not there.

Maybe that is what happened to my Guinness towel.

Man oh man did I love my Cabbage Patch Kids!!!

 
peterrigid 2004-06-09 12:10:14 PM  
Was the doll sexually assaulted?

I wonder if he's the one who never delivered my Member's Only jacket and Guess? jeans ?

 
pcvzeno 2004-06-09 12:13:27 PM  
Yay! My home state in the news!!!

It is mandatory for Rhode Islanders to "brag" about being from Rhode Island when a story is in the news, no matter what that news might be.

 
dmb08 2004-06-09 12:15:58 PM  
So the package was sent prioroty then?

/not predictable

 
Gwinny [TotalFark] 2004-06-09 12:18:52 PM  
skinink: I was waiting for these:


 
Fiddle-dee-dee 2004-06-09 12:18:52 PM

Or two, even!

Trisha Collins-Lavigne waited 19 years to see Nina Roxanne's plastic face again. The Cabbage Patch Kids doll, which arrived at her home recently, was mailed to her almost two decades ago, after she left it on a tour bus in London.

How much would that have sucked as a kid? I left a favourite toy behind at a cabin in Lake Louise once and was really upset. The management sent it back to me, and thankfully no one pulled a stunt like this with my little frog in a santa suit.

Stop lying. No one lives in Rhode Island.

Have y'all noticed that the Madonna bracelets from about 1985 are back? Just one more sign that the 80's are coming back in style. Sad, really.

Ok waiting for my Harvard Med School acceptance letter...waiting.....waiting...waiting...oh fark it

In a statement released today, Paul Newman said he has no connection what-so-ever to the Seinfeld character known as "Newman" and has nothing to do with the undelivered mail.


 
purpleheadedyogurtthrower 2004-06-09 12:28:13 PM  
not postal worker..postalhorder.. BTW. i thought i saw a cabbage patch doll on the antique roadshow..in fact i think the woman had an english accent.. hhmmmm

Hmmmmm....when you say "back in style", are you implying that the 80's ever went "out of style"...that might explain why I couldn't get laid in an Amsterdam whorehouse with $1000 and a 12" manpole sticking out of my pants with "Fark Me" tattooed on it lately.

 
MikeWeath 2004-06-09 12:34:12 PM  
Vintage cabbage patch kid in good condition? Sell it on eBay.

 
new_voodoo 2004-06-09 12:34:53 PM  
worthless government employees.

1,000 items + for either 8 or 13 or 19 years..and only 1 misdemeanor charge?

yeah, it's not like this piece of shiat actually stole stuff from hundreds of people now is it?

i'm surprised the postal service didn't give her a raise, seems like she might even be more able than most of their employees

 
pcvzeno 2004-06-09 12:35:18 PM  
True Fact: Out of all the states, Rhode Island has the second highest population density, yet 40% of the state is covered by woods (making it a beautiful state).

I might add though that with Rhode Island being as big as it is, you could put 20 people in there are get a pretty high population density.

 
peterrigid 2004-06-09 12:36:10 PM  
scarylonghair - LOL!
