From the Five
O'Clock Shadow Newsletter
Dublin, Ireland
We didn't get any suggestions for one this week, so here's our...
HONORARY SUBSCRIBER OF THE WEEK: David McCreery (1978- )!!!
Remember how, as a wee nipper, way back before the so-called "Celtic
Tiger", you would send that carefully handwritten note to Santa
each year, explaining how you had been a really good boy/girl for
12 months (approx), and you hadn't really beaten up your little
brother (much) or bitten many people at school (well, not drawn
blood anyway)? Anyways, then you would continue writing: "Well
seeing as I wuz really good, I want the following... [huge list
of pressies]. Then you would write Santy's address on the envelope
and your own address in full (From: Me, My Street, Our Town, Our
Country, Planet Earth, The Universe etc) then you ask yer Ma or
Da to post it. And then after this huge malarkey you'd get something
completely totally 100% different????
It all begs the question: whatever happened to all them shagging
letters to Santa? Why did everybody end up with crap colouring books,
Y-fronts and soap on a rope?
Step forward David McCreery. David is a cool young photographer
and designer from Memphis. But we love him for more than this. We
want him to have our baby because David decided to send his letter
to Santy via FedEx this year. He also took advantage of FedEx's
tracking technology to see how far it'll go. Don't believe us? See:
