IMG_1197.jpg The folks randomly selected to get one of three mystery boxes have started receiving them! Ms. H. blogs her box's contents here. Ms. B. of California emailed to say she'd gotten hers (she had a special box with only one item). Which leaves Mr. L., a resident of Canada who had a bit of a mailing wait and even set up a microblog for his box: he reports that it's just arrived, but he hasn't has a chance to open it up yet. One reader speculation, however, I can confirm as incorrect.

    Wait, what did Ms. B. of California receive? Is there no blogging/photos/movie of this?

  • Josefrancisco

    I’m waiting for my package! where is it?

    now… how do you get a package?

    • mccrum

      1 – Collect underpants
      2 – ?
      3 – Get package!

  • tallpat

    Let’s see what’s in the box.

    Nothing! Absolutely nothing!

    Stupid…! You’re so stupid…!!

  • graphicsman

    Yay, I’m “Internet-famous”! Now I wish I’d spent more time learning how to work my iPad “Sketchpad”.

  • Rob Beschizza

    The *CES swag*, sure. But there’s other stuff in the boxes! It’s a mix.

  • Anonymous

    It’s nice to just have some “fun” every now and then. Thanks!

  • RedShirt77

    So people got accessories for products they don’t own? This never happens on Oprah.

  • Anonymous

    Hello? What was the one special item…

  • mccrum

    This leaves my knowledge sated regarding The Box. I am glad to hear the cat is neither dead nor alive and it does not contain any human head in the end.

    Finally I can sleep!

  • Rob Beschizza

    The disappointment of CES swag is something we can all be disappointed in together.

    • SamSam

      Wait. This whole thing has been a long, complicated joke on the disappointment of the swag?

  • Agies

    Flickr doesn’t seem to like the “#” in that URL.

    • teapot

      Yeah, my PC doesn’t like that link either. This one is OK:
