OK, let's decide the name (it's not preventing me from making the post official):

FOTD XIII: Fug Doug
Friday of the Drink XIII: Jason and Doug Strike Back
FOTD XIII: teach me how to dougie
FotD XIII: All Doug's go to heaven 1
Fellowship Of The Doug XIII: Doug Day Afternoon 1
FOTD XIII: Nightmare on Doug’s Street 2

Reply with your vote. Since this round is essentially being run by the masses, the name will be judged upon by the masses.

I vote for Fellowship of the Doug XIII: Doug Day Afternoon

Okay, so apparently when you have been busted shipping alcohol they somehow flag your future shipments as concern. I always drop off at the same Fedex store, and they have not once asked what's in the box. Never...today was different.

I dropped the box, said I didn't need a receipt, and she scanned it before I could turn and go. She says, "What's in the box?" to which I replied "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh water samples from my koi pond" ... you could read her mind ["full of poop"].

Fedex called me about five minutes later, "Hello, we have your box here and it sounds like it's full of alcohol." "No, it's pond water." "Well, you don't mind if we open to verify?" "I'll pick it up and repackage it if you say it sounds loose or something." "Okay, but this shipment will be flagged for alcohol."

Damn you Fedex!

So are they going to give you back your package?

FedEx (Doug) is the worst.
 
Did you also piss off UPS? Another option is to label all the beers, "Questionable Koi Pond Samples". Have a note stating "Thanks for testing if my Koi poop is or is not contaminated!"

I was thinking of writing alcohol on the box and using their legally required label on the box; however, that might be worse.

Haven't shipped with UPS before, so at least for now I'm safe.
