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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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.

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

x-posted with Bitches: I got to the door (and the mail) seconds before my DH last night and was able to open a package from Deena that had the MOST AMAZING TIARA EVER inside and other little thoughtful gifts. I am one happy Bitch. Direct quote from the DH, "Are you going to wear that thing to bed?" Thank-you, Deena!

Deena gives great tiaras. The one she sent me resides on Roderick the Skull on my desk at home, where I can gaze upon it and marvel.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
heifer.org.
Heh. I know. We've done chickens with them before, for a family in Guatamela. I'm pretty sure the chickens were for eggs, since the deal was for that.
But I still want a goat, damnit. For me.
