Zombie Pumpkins

zombiepumpkins1I found this website that has these cool pumpkin patterns...

zombiepumpkins.Zombie Pumpkins! - pumpkin carving patterns - Unique Creations

This website has so many new pumpkin patterns like this one to the left.  I've downloaded a lot of patterns in the past but none that are of this caliber.

They do charge for their patterns though.  It's not free but it is reasonably priced.  You can buy 2 patterns only for $2, 25 patterns for $5, 200 patterns for $10 or you can pay $20 for all 200 patterns and 10 bonus patterns and some of that money goes to charity.

It would be good if people bought the $20 for 200 patterns and 10 bonus patterns to help the children.  Every year this website chooses a different charity to donate to and this year it's The My Stuff Bags Foundation.  Read the description here.

I'm gonna have to pick out some good ones to do this year.  I still have tons in my pattern library that I haven't done but every year I find new ones that are neat and leave all the old ones alone.  I'm afraid if I buy 200 patterns then I will only do 2 and not the rest lol.  Oh well lol.  I wanna get those bonus patterns anyway so I can help those poor abused, abandoned and neglected children.

Dish Network Mail

I got this in the mail today.  It's from Dish Network and it's 2 sided, very shiny and thick paper.  It's basically 1 sheet folded in half and they dropped it in the mail to advertise for their satellite service.  But the thing that is hilarious is that it's all wrong.  Here take a look and then tell me what you see wrong with it.

Click the images to see it full size.

Obviously I removed my home address and typed something silly in there so it didn't look plain.


Don't you think it's strange?  Ok I've already disclosed my name, It's Mike McDonald.  Go ahead, look at the little Facebook icon in the right side of this blog, it shows my name with my Facebook profile picture.  That I'm not hiding.  But my point is, look at my last name.  McDonald.  Does that scream Arabic to you?


I can understand if they sent me one in Spanish because I'm constantly getting shit in the mail in Spanish but Arabic?


Who is telling Dish Network that this is a service that people with my surname are asking for in Bakersfield, CA?  You can see the return address is in Englewood Colorado.  Why is it that Englewood Colorado is sending junk mail to California?


I don't normally scan my junk mail lol.  This is not what I do but it was so shocking that I had to scan it and blog about it because who would think that a McDonald would ever get something like this?


I know it's not a human error because the computers print the names and addresses on these things then fold them and squirt some rubber cement in 2 spots and they all get sent to a bin to be mailed.  Their computers are obviously mistaking McDonald for an Arabic country when it should have thought that my name belonged to a Scottish country.


I know, maybe there is a woman out there who is Arabic who got married to a Scott named McDonald and she ordered Dish in Arabic so from that the computer decided that all McDonald's out there want Dish in Arabic lol.  That's the only thing I can think of.


Or maybe I'm thinking about this too much.  Ok, it's going in the recycle bin lol.
