May not be the worst, but definitely weirdest. I received a new "buddy" in the mail....it was actually a gift from Reddit Secret Santa. I got a letter (below) and a box with two gifts in it. One of them was a Stretch Armstrong and the other was matching speedo swim trunks.

Dear Rgiff, In the past, as you know, you have unfortunately missed the cut for the nice list. This year is sadly no different. That being said, however, we at the SSDNC have implemented a new program in hopes of rehabilitating those on the “naughty offenders list” (NOL). This new program is called “Little Buddies, Big Problems.” As one of the pilot group for this program you are receiving the enclosed “Buddy.” Your buddy was chosen as the nexus of your interests PHOTOGRAPHY, EXERCISE, and TRAVEL. Your buddy will go with you on adventures, help you with your interests and keep an eye on you to make sure that you are being “nice.” We find that people best connect with their “buddies” when they have something in common. As such we have also included a garment that connects you and your “buddy.” You should bring your buddy with you when you travel/exercise. We also recommend dressing in matching outfits to take photos in exotic locals. Our hope is that if you have someone to keep you company and to make sure you are nice then your niceness quotient will improve and perhaps you will be upgraded to the “not quite nice but not particularly naughty list” (NQNPNL). Who knows in a decade or two you could be down right nice and finally be eligible for a really good present. Regards, Santa Correctional Officer #31546
