You did who in the what now?
I went to my local 99ยข store last week. It is, in fact, the world's smallest member of that noble chain. The aisles are only wide enough to allow one person without a cart to maneuver and there is only one aisle of disgusting, gross, not-suitable-for-export food.
I digress.
Whilst there, I scored some lovely MyScene clothes and shoes and the Stitch 'N Bitch Page A Day calendar for 2006.
I don't use Page a Day calendars because in my house, nothing is ever in the same place twice and a calendar that has to be changed every day is too much responsibility. I bought it for the patterns and such, after all it was only a dollar (how much crap is bought from that confounded store simply because someone says "it's only a dollar!"?). Calendar looks like-a this:
After working my way through it, I came across a yarn review for a yarn I like. I read the review and chuckled because I thought it was funny and I looked to see who the author was in case this person had a blog which I would now have-to have-to read. I read the name and thought "how funny! she has my same name!" and then I looked at the location and I thought "how funny! she lives by me!" and I thought that was a pretty amazing coincidence.
Took me a full five minutes or so to realize that it was me. I had written it. About a year ago. A call for submissions went out with promises of a free calendar for all published contributions (P.S. Ms. Debbie Stoller, you owe me a dollar for having to buy my own) and I sent one in. Apparently. Honestly, I do not remember writing it. I remember that there was a call for submissions, it seems likely that I would have submitted something since I like free stuff, the writing style is mine and it is my most favoritest yarn. And it is my name and general locale. So ... I'm pretty sure I did it.
Oh, and I bought some packaging tape.

At least send Ms Stoller (MOT) some threatening BREACH OF CONTRACT letter. Of course, she might WELL have sent you the calendar, but the mailman had other ideas...
Nah, the postman only withholds expensive or slightly illegal things. A calendar would have gotten through.
