A Wonderful Tale
« on: May 19, 2006, 12:31:15 pm »
I just received my copy of Nice Pete's book.  It's nicely wrapped in plastic.  Do you think he would be angry if I just, um, left it that way?  Or do I have to actually read it?

You'd better open it, read it and enjoy every single word of it.

If you don't, Nice Pete will know.  He'll know and he'll be...irked.

I survived the reading of Nice Pete's book and calmed down enough to remember that I had ordered vol 6 personalized and I should look at what he did for it.   I decided it was worth sharing, even though I couldn't get a really great photo of it.

man..
I almost asked a while ago if anyone ever saved theirs. I got my old girlfriend the first book for christmas last year, and it was Roast Beef dressed as a chef, saying "I am hell of a commodious toque". or maybe "such as a commodious toque?" I wish I had taken a picture.
I did, however, keep the stylish envelope which it came in.

Shameful Confession: I peeled off and kept the little sticker on the plastic bag in which my HUUUGS shirt was wrapped.  It has information about Garment Care, but I thought it was nifty because there is a little image of Ray on it.

Heh, the packing slip for my What we need more of.. shirt had a rather chipper little image on it, so I kept it as well.  It doesn't beat the hastily hand-drawn evil cat that I got randomly on a packing slip when I ordered some Big D and the kids table stuff, but it is close.

This must be new since I last ordered a garment.

My Vol 1. personalization is my favorite. It says "To Kyle, Who does not lose his shit even in the presense of danger." The picture is of Philippe on a tiny chunk of ice with a shark fin nearby. He's looking all superior and saying "If that is a shark then it is very poorly drawn."

Wait, wombat, did he sign it "with love?"  I thought he was supposed to hate the fuck out of all of us, but apparently if you toss him the cheddar he is all about the love.

He did not sign it ''with love", but since I asked to have it dedicated to my dog, we probably can't read anything into it.

I was about to say I don't own a scanner (and our copier/scanner/printer/document servers at work have a password on the all but the copying) but I was just informed that we're getting a slightly used all-in-one from the in-laws this very weekend.
