Howdy all you uncharacteristically quiet denizens of Weeping Willow-land. Well, it's finally happening. The big promo we've been going on and on about (that has had us so lax in our Weeping Willow the On-Line Serial duties, alas). We're having a "bestseller" day on Amazon. Anyone who buys the book on a specific day (Tuesday, November 29th to be exact) will get a ton of bonuses (including a galley proof of Volume Two, believe it or not). You can find out about it here: http://www.WeepingWillowTheBook.com Okay. Carry on. Steve and Geoff |

Posted At 16:01:27 11/23/2005 I actually was planning on saying something in the last thread about the bathroom door, but it's so hard to come up with a good poop joke... Oh, and you don't seem to say anywhere why, specifically, you're going with 11/29. Is there a meaning to the day? I'm curious. I'm considering printing out some fliers and "accidentally" leaving them sit out at work for someone to find. I've already posted the email in another group I'm part of. Here's hoping! ~D |

Posted At 19:04:26 11/23/2005 You know, I was going to try to explain the whole 11/29 choice with a witty, scientific explanation, but in doing so, my tooth began to hurt, so I'll tell the tr.uth. Here it is: Ever since I was a tot (hey, if I were from Idaho, would that make me a "Tater Tot"? Okay, a pun. I wish I could resist. I read something once written by someone somewhere some time ago saying that puns are for those who are easily amused. I'm not easily amused, but one time I spent three hours playing with a shoelace. I am easily distracted, though.) I had a lucky number. That lucky number is .379310345. The sport shop that used to make my team uniforms hated me. They did like the number, though. Made 'em a lot of extra scratch. I remember one time, I was only nine, well, nine and three-quarters, and I was playing Ma Jong with my late aunt... she wasn't dead, just tardy, anyway, this lucky number thing -- I had too much coffee -- Yeah, I know, you figured it out a long time ago. But, you're so kind to let me ramble. There's a Yiddish expression that Larry Fine said in a Stooge classic. He heard Moe was going to a hockshop and said, "While you're there, hock me a tshaynik." Literally translated and then figuratively translated and then translated again, "hock me a tshaynik" means “you don't have to shut up completely, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop rattling on about the same damned thing all the time.” That's why we picked 11/29. Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! Steve |
