mailbag time again

Posted by juplife on August 24, 2008

my friends have been very generous with their time and postcards recently.

the first one comes from chuck. he knew i’d miss him when he drove katie back to mississippi for school so he had random train passengers drop them at the post office for him. while they weren’t the most timely cards ever - they arrived after he returned home - they were fun to receive. and now i know that mississippi is the magnolia state. how about that.

always good with mailings, whether they be cds or picture postcards, pat sent me a much needed reminder of how cool uncle nathan is. especially when he wears a keg costume to tigers games.

i’m not sure where gramma pulled this photo of drew updike and his lackeys, but it’s one of the greats. the wonderful john drew updike is in the front shooting lasers at us while his lackeys dress up like the village people (updike always dresses that way and it’s totally straight).

‘the most disturbing consumer item available’ (every day should be saturday)

Posted by juplife on August 24, 2008

jupmode received an unexpected boost in traffic and sales on friday after the OSU sweater vest beer bottle koozie was featured on edsbs.com. the response from the post was amazing. i’ve had over 1,000 hits directly from the post, making the last two days the two biggest days of traffice and online sales since i’ve started. pretty incredible it was generated by a blog.

i’ve mentioned every day should be saturday on juplife before. if you haven’t checked out this site yet, now is definitely the time since college football season starts in a few days. it’s the largest college football blog out there and the author, orson swindle, is a brilliant writer.

for those that still haven’t purchased their own koozie, head over to jupmode.com. they’re $5.99 with free shipping.
