Don't tell me the dead internet theory isn't in full swing. Ordered business cards online 18 years ago under the name of said business. I've received physical mail for that business ever since and it's been defunct for 17 years. Until Earth stops spinning this address will receive junk in its name!

The art found its way back to me! UPS finally stepped up and actually started to look. They had sent it to Lost and Found in Germany! If we hadn’t made noise on social media it would’ve been lost forever
