Funny Money

If you've read my earlier posts you will be aware of my love affair with www.play.com. I'd recently ordered a book called The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox. (Click to visit his webpage, it's hilarious.)

Today I received what seemed to be an empty envelope from Play, but it actually contained the invoice for the book and one of the "medalionz" pictured here. When I phoned play, they said they had no idea why I had been sent this, but said I could keep it and would send me my book.

I looked these coins up on play, and they cost £4.99! They are absolute shite! It's like a token for a washing machine. Apparently they are going to be so in demand that they are limiting them to one medallion per customer.

The weird thing is that Maddox himself is a pirate, or so he says.
