Mailbag: A Meaty Monday Mailbag - 06/25/2012

If you're looking to get your beef fluffed, this is the video for you?

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

I need two plates or bowls for this.

Did you mean bowels? That would probably be most efficient overall, you'd know when urgency is the order of the day...

New video content: Brad Plays Dress-Up. The users send things, and Brad will goddamn wear them. He seems to enjoy doing it.

Invite Muir over and prepare/eat this stuff on camera.

Also, try to be just a little bit happy when somebody spends a load of money to send you guys a gift. You tend to look like you're afraid you're about to be poisoned.

As someone who has received food in the mail, and subsequently gotten ridiculously sick, I can tell you that they should be at least a little afraid that they're about to be poisoned.

Not intentionally poisoned (probably). But even the best intentioned care package might have languished in a 2-4 week shipment loop if UPS/FedEx/the US postal system haven't been 100% on the ball.

Admittedly, sounds like the people at UPS knew what they were doing here, judging by Ryan's statement toward the beginning.

They have shown time and time again that they do not fear being poisoned; it's just part of who they are. If they get poisoned, they get poisoned. That's just what living the Giant Bomb lifestyle is like. ;)

I wish sites would settle disagreements about games with a street brawl. If that's not premium video content, then nothing is.

I like to see that the correct I Love Monday protocol was followed: it must end with a pan up to the ceiling.

Really want Portillio's now. I live in the UK but have relatives in Chicago, last time I got food there was 5 years ago and it was amazing. Too bad that I can't ship Portillo's to the UK
