Line 43: == Literature == * The golem mail carrier from ''[[~~Discworld/~~Going Postal (Discworld)\|Going Postal]]''. In addition, the book features a slightly damaged version of the page quote: "Neither rain nor snow nor gl om of ni t will stay these mes engers abo t their duty.<ref>DONT ARSK US ABOUT: rocks; troll's with sticks; All sorts of dragons; Mrs Cake; Huje green things with teeth; Any kinds of black dogs with orange eyebrows; Rains of spaniel's; fog; Mrs Cake</ref>" It had been complete once, but some of the letters were stolen. Specifically, the golem failed to deliver a message to a king before the kingdom was destroyed. Roughly 10 thousand years later, he still carries the message in the belief that time is cyclical and he'll eventually get another chance to deliver his message. * His personal version of the motto is "Neither Deluge Nor Ice Storm Nor The Black Silence Of The Netherhells Shall Stay These Messengers About Their Sacred Business.<ref>Do Not Ask Us About Sabre-Tooth Tigers, Tar Pits, Big Green Things With Teeth Or The Goddess Czol.</ref>" Line 86: * In one [[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]] mission, you must intercept a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy\|Bangaa]] postman before he can deliver a message to a place it should not be going. He will end up fighting your clan over the mission, and while he is not especially difficult, he puts up a fight. * ''[[World of Warcraft]]''; leave something behind in a dungeon or raid? Maybe because of a full inventory or haste to leave a bad group? Rest assured, it ''will'' be in your character's mailbox when he gets back into town, courtesy of the Postmaster. One "secret" quest in Legion actually puts a face on this mysterious wizard who, despite being stressed and backlogged, shows incredible dedication towards getting the mail through. * In ''[[Earthbound]]'', Escargot Express. Despite its name, calling them to bring Ness an item that he has in storage will get them to show up instantly with said item. And only costs $18 of in-game currency. ** Slower but still unstoppable is Mach Pizza. Once Ness learns the phone number, they will deliver to nearly anywhere in Eagleland, FoggyLand and Chommo in only 3 minutes (real time). == Web Comics == Line 91 ⟶ 93: * ''[[Wapsi Square]]'' once featured a mailman who was still able to deliver the mail despite a snowstorm of the [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/oh-hey/ worst variety.] * In ''[[Homestuck]]'', the Parcel Mistress goes to incredible lengths to retrieve a package she's supposed to deliver when it falls into the hands of an official on the opposite side of the war her people are fighting. She also survived the destruction of her home, wandered for untold number of years in a [[After the End\|wasteland]], duty bound to deliver the mail to long gone people. {{spoiler\|Then her friends are killed through time shenanigans and she decides to [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge\|open a can of whoop ass]] on the ''[[Stealth Pun\|dog-headed]]'' [[Physical God\|Jack Noir]].}} * [http://xkcd.com/705/ Sysadmins], according to [[~~Xkcd~~xkcd]]. == Western Animation ==
