View Full Version : I Get Great Presents for NO REASON!

Aw!

People from here are WAY TOO NICE.

First, I never properly thanked Crowley for the RIDICULOUSLY cool full-color Batman piece he drew for me. It is AWESOME. It's Mignola-cool, I kid you not.

And the great Wonder Woman piece that Tom Stillwell's Honor Brigade collaborator did for me...I LOVE it.

Tom goes way overboard. He sent a Chicago food package for my husband's birthday--yummy pizza and these beef sandwich fixings (my husband and son LOVED those...they went crazy for them. Now we have another reason to go back to Chicago!).

AND he read about me losing my collection of cups from my travels and sent a great Chicago coffee mug to replace the one I lost.

You are too nice, Tom. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Also, Scribbler sent a copy of her book, which is AWESOME.

Get it here, NOW!

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!


Really, you are too, too generous. I cherish them all (except for the pizza, which we cherished then ate!)

So I'm guessing you didn't like the dead Raccoon I sent in the mail?



Was it because I took a couple bites?

Larry Dixon made the best first impression ever on me when he became a Yabster to talk about the giant Cat Man painting he gave you.

You get presents because you are a source of joy in our lives and we want to show that we appreciate you . . .

Oh wait, that wasn't it . . .

Um, you get presents because we are horribly, horribly bad at stalking. Yeah, that's it. We send you stuff because that's how we show that we know where you live.

Better watch out or, or, or,

we'll send you MORE STUFF!

and then we'll come see you at cons and give you stuff there!

I gave Gail presents once.

In retrospect, i hope to G-d she never read them.

I want her to still respect me.

In all seriousness though, CBR people rock. Jessecuster gave me a bunch of PS2 games and a GBA SP for Typo Tot, and Michael P and Jeff Brady got me a new PS2 when my old one died.

It's because, you know, we LIKE you, Gail! You deliver great stories and you are a delight in person -- plus you have an awesome husband! :wink:

And I'm glad you like the book! I hope lots more people get to like it. Heh. :biggrin:

I'm teaching Isabelle ninja skills, but she's yet again proved she's the Master.

I'll stop if someone answers this question for me: What the hell is a Moor? (Not the religious thing)

Moors are extensive swampy areas.

Gail, I personally think it's cute that you don't suspect ulterior motives.
