I kept last year’s stack of Christmas cards because I never got around to actually putting the addresses into my address book for sending cards to this year.
I found GM Jeremael’s in the stack.
Yep, that’s Jerry all right.
Miss ya, big guy. I’m thinking of you.
No no no. The Tvini cannot get sick. There are the hats and the festival and the darling daughter and the HATS! There will be no getting sick!
sniffle.
wheeze.
CRUD!
Please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want – good or bad – BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.
When you’re finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON’T ACTUALLY remember about you.
In honor of the season, I made a new little icon. Badly photoshopped Santa hat on rugged and manly Jayne mug! Whee!
I just got an e-mail from an editor at The Arizona Republic. She was asking for a higher-res copy of the Jayne hat photo. Apparently I’m going to be in their gift guide for this year on Dec. 15th.
How the hell did all this happen?
I guess it’s true – you really can’t stop the signal.
 Dear Santa…
Dear Santa, This year I’ve been busy! Last week I punched jennnlee in the arm (-10 points). Last Thursday I committed genocide… Sorry about that, iharthdarth (-5000 points). In April I helped vaeldriil see the light (8 points). Last Wednesday I helped kwiltbank hide a body (-173 points). Last Saturday aunt_reexy and I robbed a bank (-50 points). Overall, I’ve been naughty (-5225 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich!

Permit me to sing the praises of two fine people/organizations.
The first is
The second is Readystamps.com. They do very professional work, but they’re also a friend to the quirkier among us – look at this portion of their site for details on nifty stuff they can do. They are a division of the United Cerebral Palsy Association in San Diego, and they made some rubber stamps for me. Their responses were timely, their price was good, their customer service was excellent, and most importantly, the stamps look amazing!
I sent them a sheet of
I’ve cut the stamps apart and mounted them, and they print very cleanly.
This will be some nice value added on the outside of the box for my Jayne hat customers!
Another neat feature is that if you ask them to, Readystamps.com will send you the photo negative used to create the stamps, as well as the molds and other assorted production bits. These are things that you can use to create silkscreens or polymer clay imprints of your designs. I have zero time to do these things, but I’m psyched to have the opportunity. 🙂
A big, big thank you to
My favorite Dragonrealms REPORT of the night:
(player): I am being slain repeated by a pinata.
And the thing is, she was!
My Secret Pal sent one more package, which was very sweet of her. This one contained black cherry and CARAMEL TimTams, as well as a very nice assortment of handmade earrings. I’m wearing the black ones with silver hooks right now.
Thank you, Secret Pal! As always, you rock!
P.S. – it’s because of you that I’m being extra super special nice to my Aussie Jayne hat customer, after he inadvertently FELTED his hat while trying to get it to shrink. So see, you’re like an ambassador to the Northern hemisphere!
As the Dragonrealms GMs make preparations for the return of the Merelew, we blow off some steam.
[Nhia] Do the Merelew have an insignia?
[Ghisel] I guess a tunafish can would be out of the question?
[Quarel] A fishstick on a field of white tartar sauce…
[Tribanin] It’s a small tattoo of Flounder and Nemo on their inner thigh.
[Alvy] they have thighs?
[Nhia] You’re so helpful! 😀
[Xadrian] No no no, it’s a grizzled prirate gleefully grasping a handfull of fresh fish sticks
[Tribanin] I can (become a Merelew) and you can come look (Alvy).
[Auriane] You fools. It’s a grizzled old man in a yellow rain slicker.
[Ghisel] lol (Auriane)
[Quarel] The Gortons Fisherman one hand ready to strike and one hand clutching a deep fryer…
It’s gonna be a fun festival. 🙂
