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).
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Allyson got a GOAT?!?
Dude. I seriously want a goat. Where do I get one?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I want to know who writes the Tower Records radio commercials. Those crack me up.
I got a goat!!!!
That is awsome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
heifer.org. Sadly for Allyson, she doesn't get her mitts on the goat--the livestock goes to people slightly more needy than herself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

mr. flea's boss just gave him a well in Africa. Very appropriate, since they do clean water research. And beats the hell out of whatever icky gimmick he got from The Sharper Image last year.
