Help! I'm Being Held Hostage
Help! I'm Being Held Hostage
I'm just a little Stamp but I've been sitting in this dark, damp In Box since June 12th. The person that requested me ran out of Tokens and doesn't want me. I'm so lonely and cold here and just want to go home to my daddy. Please Mr. Stamp Man Push Da Button and teleport me home.

Holy Hostage Postage Batman!
iconmaster on Jun 22, 2007
Honestly, there's no button. But I think we are making some changes to the way expirations work.

June 12th? How is it still stuck there after 10 days?
ChickAzul on Jun 22, 2007
I am pretty sure I have some "long overdue back to me" stamps held hostage too :(
Winnopeg on Jun 22, 2007
I've been waiting four days for stamps, and only ~7 have returned to me. There's still ~198 out there... :/

"June 12th? How is it still stuck there after 10 days?"
Same way as one of mine has been stuck there since the 12th. The return button doesn't work. :(
JBVisions on Jun 22, 2007
Sorry, that should have been the return button that doesn't exist doesn't w......
Ahhh now you see, there's the problem, they've lost the return button.
dyar on Jun 22, 2007
I'm happy to be back home with my daddy now, thanks Stamp Man for freeing me.
JBVisions on Jun 22, 2007
My stuck stamps are back too. I have some more due tomorrow. Is the stuck stamp unsticker now unstuck?
ChickAzul on Jun 22, 2007
6 of mine came back out of the blue :D but there seem to be 2 of them still out there in the cold cold interwebs
silveria on Jun 22, 2007
thanks for the post dyar, over 200 of mine came back finally.

It's not a truck; it's a series of tubes!
JBVisions on Jun 22, 2007
But Josh said it was pipes. I wish you guys would make up your minds. ;)
ChickAzul on Jun 22, 2007
pipes and tubes are alike, no?
FallenAngel on Jun 22, 2007
I got some stamps back too, though whether they were lost ones is unknown as my stamps failed their geography exam and are unable to read maps and thus unable to inform me of their location...i.e. most of the time I forgot where I put 'em...;-)

returned stamps. . .ARRRRR have ye thought about when stamps get returned and then reused ye have to lick it a second time. It would be much more hygienic if everyone would just accept our deliveries.
Aye chefs, give us unlimited tokens. It be best for the public health of IB.
lilnutter on Jun 22, 2007
my finger is on da button....???
gswd on Jun 22, 2007
Hey. If we got tubes or pipes, tis better than the old days when we had to connect our computers with a really tight piece of string.
KatieK on Jun 28, 2007
Help! I've got 10 stamps 8 days old out there that have neither returned nor fulfilled their ultimate destiny. Come on back, guys!
tamashii on Jun 28, 2007
ya, I have 5 stamps for a set i sent on the 18th I believe. Only stamps unaccounted for.
Psy2k on Jun 28, 2007
I have over 10 stamps, 10 days old and they hadnt returned yet...
JBVisions on Jun 28, 2007
Looks like the fix didn't work. I have a delivery stuck out there and another two deliveries due back today.
dyar on Jun 28, 2007
Here Stampy Stampy
rossanyl on Jun 28, 2007
That was nice getting a batch back on monday (thought the fix was good!) but still have some out there too.
Psy2k on Jun 28, 2007
Chefs is there a way to fix that issue and get our delayed stamps back?
gswd on Jun 28, 2007
I only have 1 stamp out there lost (according to the calculation tools). I am sure that he is scared. Thinking about mounting a search party.
FallenAngel on Jun 28, 2007
/brings along some rope and a flashlight to help with the rescue mission
zelda013 on Jun 28, 2007
hmm... i have 27 stamps out in hyperspace somewhere (according to the nifty Stamp Calculator), and i only know where 7 of them are. i'm pretty sure the other 20 have been gone more than a week. FallenAngel, could you shine that flashlight over thisaway please ?
JBVisions on Jun 28, 2007
1 stamp just came back
gswd on Jun 28, 2007
Wait! Did you hear that? Was that the sound of a lost stamp? Come here, come home, stay out of the light Carolanne.
Yes, my stamp has returned. Falling from the swirling vortex back into my stamp vault.
Psy2k on Jun 28, 2007
My stamps returned too ;)
JBVisions on Jun 28, 2007
Stamps! Plural! Ha rich person.
KatieK on Jun 28, 2007
They're back! Whew. I'll have to be more careful with them.
zelda013 on Jun 28, 2007
hey, mine too ! somehow the button that doesn't exist seems more and more real to me...
rossanyl on Jun 29, 2007
darn! where did I put these 40 stamps... I thought I put them near my box but they are not there... who take the flashlight last?
Steax on Jun 29, 2007
Can you forward me a copy of the flashlight? I seem to have misplaces some stamps too!
And looks like the chefs are devising some rescue mission with their new iPhones, oh yes they are. =P
JBVisions on Jun 30, 2007
JC put that toy down. We need stamps back. ;)
FallenAngel on Jun 30, 2007
@zelda013 / Steax - I think this be what you're looking for ;-)
Steax on Jun 30, 2007
Hahahahaha. Nice one there.
rossanyl on Jun 30, 2007
@fallenAngel - that's it! see da big button on the flashlight! it must be it! push it! push it!
FallenAngel on Jun 30, 2007
Hold on - I think the batteries are flat. I'll go get some fresh ones!
@Steax - why's that parrot eating your ice cream? :p
Steax on Jun 30, 2007
The chefs better get this fixed! FallenAngel: I'll take a copy of that, please forward it to my email!
PS: I can't open my visor. I'll just have him eat it, then melt him and absorb his life energy.
FallenAngel on Jun 30, 2007
You should just be able to right-click "Save As", otherwise whisper me your email :)
zelda013 on Jul 01, 2007
thank you fallenangel, whatever would we do without you !
FallenAngel on Jul 01, 2007
*bows and curtseys and stuff*
Just wait til you see my next invention! ;-)
JBVisions on Jul 01, 2007
That's all very well. I know where they are I just need to get them back.
zelda013 on Jul 01, 2007
next invention !? what will she come up with this time ??
JBVisions on Jul 01, 2007
Every time the buffet goes really slow I get all excited at the thought of returning stamps. My hopes have so far been dashed upon the rocks of emptiness.
lparziale on Jul 01, 2007
I was hoping the "crawling speed" indicated a new, cool feature that Josh had been alluding to weeks ago...
** OH PLEASE ICON GODS, DELIVER US SOME COOL STUFFS **
JBVisions on Jul 01, 2007
Whoo Hoooooo, buffet slowness delivered manna. I now have...........
wait for it...............
..........................
two whole stamps!!!! :)
FallenAngel on Jul 01, 2007
It's here at last! The invention we've all been waiting for! (unfortunately I've mislaid the instruction manual though...:-(
You can see it here, and there's more about it here <grin>
Steax on Jul 01, 2007
The chefs have yet to release themselves from Apple Heaven...
