Lyda here. At least, I hope they are good gifts.
Just a little token of my esteem.
But nope.
No hobbits.
Get it? Heh. I crack myself up.
Yesterday, I mailed off a little somethin’ somethin’ to the winners of the Casting About For A Name Contest for Gorgeous and Available Engineer brother’s scarf. And a late birthday package to Anna-Liza.
The packages include The Mystery Projects. Which means I will finally tell you about them.
Once the packages have arrived.
Bwahaha!
I am such a tease.
But enough about me… this is all about the WINNERS!
Four people were declared winners:
Marin for “Airspeed of an Unladen Wooster Scarf” (Monty Python and P.G. Wodehouse!)
and
Kelly for “The Lumber Jack of the Lake Scarf” and this tag line: “Oh, but you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a scarf at you!”
and
KarenM for “I’m a Lumberjack and I’m OK” and her comment, “I really wish I could think of a name that used the words “watery tart” – I practically doused my screen in coffee when I read that…” Originally I gave an Honorable Mention for this comment – because in all the excitement I forgot that KarenM and mintlatte are actually THE SAME PERSON. I am a dork.
and
Red for “Swinging a Big Ax Gets You Women” *Snort.* The Twelve-ness of it!
I promised the winners: Fame! Glory! Links to their blogs!
All of which they received.
I also said: There may well be additional prizes forthwith… Winners, please understand that it will take a while for the swag to arrive. Arrive it will, eventually, possibly when the fields are white with daisies… in little tiny boxes… “with nasty teeth…”
Daisies – check.**
Little tiny boxes with nasty teeth – check.**
Maybe you prefer this box?
That’s right. It is finally “forthwith”. And about damn time. Who knew that “forthwith” took so long?
To the winners I say: Thanks for playing! Enjoy! Let the Wild Rumpus Start!
To everyone else I say: Stay tuned for the unveiling of the Mystery Projects. Ya’ll are excited.
And zombies, of course. “Zombies yesterday, and zombies tomorrow, but never zombies today.”
** Daisies and little tiny boxes not included in swag. Sorry, gang.
Also, how many tags can I add?
Apparently, a gazillion and one.
Yes, that’s a technical math term.
This is Tommy the Sith Apprentice Cat. Cats of the winners, I snuck in some stuff for you when she wasn’t looking.
Come to the Dark Side – we have toys.
Yah… I have name issues. In fact, today I am trying not to count my issues. Apparently I am on the verge of issue overload. Sigh. Spirit lifting to know a Lyda goodie is in he mail 🙂 and I need spirit lifting!!
A reason to check my mailbox. I’m sure my postal carriers (which sounds appropriately like something the CDC should get involved in) will appreciate that I will be checking my mailbox.
