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.
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?
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).
Allyson got a GOAT?!?
Dude. I seriously want a goat. Where do I get one?
I want to know who writes the Tower Records radio commercials. Those crack me up.
I got a goat!!!!
That is awsome.
heifer.org. Sadly for Allyson,
she
doesn't get her mitts on the goat--the livestock goes to people slightly more needy than herself.

Does she get a picture of the goat? Does the goat write her letters to tell her how it's doing?
eta: Is the goat for milk, or for food?
Dear Allyson. Tomorrow I get eaten. Thank you for letting me be your goat.
Does the goat write her letters to tell her how it's doing?
Yes, but they get eaten before they can be mailed. It's a vicious circle, but tasty if you're a goat.
I looked at the gifts on heifer.org. Maybe I'll send some folks a share of a water buffalo.
