animadversio (aka "Madwabbit") is a god among men!
I was slaving away at various work related tasks yesterday, most notably my national boards stuff, for which I had been chained to my keyboard for hours beyond count. My fingers were cramping, my eyeballs were bleeding, and my soul was at the point of shriveling into mindless, zombie-like nothingness. Then arrived the package and letter from the Angel of Alexandria containing a holiday card with a hilarious story about the long standing behind-the-scenes grudge between Santa's elves Bingle and Dingle (revealing that it all started over Dingle being the real reason all the rum was gone). And, attached to the card were the Last Crusade motorcycle chase Indiana Jones legos! After some quick assembly, there were many motorcycle "vroom!" noises, plus bad imitations of Harrison Ford's voice going "Dad, c'mon!" and even worse imitations of Sean Connery's voice saying "Junior!" and "We named the dog Indiana." (Fortunately for me, the men in the white coats didn't hear all of that, or they would have put me back in my padded cell for the evening.)
Thank you, animadversio ! I'm so totally buying you a drink at Gencon.
