Hush! Now everyone will want one!
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As long as it's not my goat, everyone should get a goat. It's the new black.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have named my goat Chuck.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Apparently I have a double sekrit Santa because even though I didn't even sign up this year, there was a mysterious package waiting for me on my stoop this evening. Inside was a gift basket from the Cafe du Monde in New Orleans, one of my very favorite places on the planet. There's a can of New Orleans coffee (w/chickory), a box of beignet mix (which is timely, because I was running out), and a coffee mug.
There was an unsigned card, but no other clues as to who sent it, so this Santa is truly sekrit. Whoever it was, thank you so much. I love it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
that's a paying job! Someone got paid to write bios for the Keebler Elves! Where do I apply?
I always wanted to write copy for the J. Peterman catalogue.
And yes, I know the whole Seinfeld thing. Still. Making up stories about clothes and objects--what could be more fun?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
A good catalog copy writer is truly a joy. McPhee used to have a really good one (haven't checked their copy lately). Also American Scientific Supply (or some such thing).
