The mailing of the Christmas cards is now complete and I had thought the big card might even cost ten dollars to send but it really wasn't so much.
Ed: only ten times more than a Jimi Hendrix stamp!
It was more than ten times as big so I win, right?
There is one tiny problem, tho. After writing in the cards for Cadillac Man and Mystery Lady, I neglected to notice the envelopes are the same color.
Ed: you don't know who will get which card?
Nope.
No-one will be embarrassed by the cards ... well ... unless it bothers you to see some guy dressed up like Santa but he's wearing some Daisy Mae shortie shorts. He does have a great ass, tho.
I'm sure that one did not go to the Fairy Princess but that's as far as I know.
There was a victory on the return bounce since I had to take the act to Krogers.
Ed: Skyline chili?
Affirmative.
I wandered all over the store and it wasn't completely blind since I asked three people along the way. The last one said he had never seen it but if it were anywhere then it would be here.
Eureka! 15-ounce cans of Skyline chili were spotted.
Reviewing the arithmetic to this point, we see six 15-ounce cans of Skyline chili are seventy dollars online. Call it twenty dollars to ship them and, bingo, we have hit the grand price of fifteen dollars per can.
Kroger had them at their sale price for four bucks. Gimme all of them, Quartermaster, and we can call it a day.
Thirty-two bucks for eight cans versus ninety bucks for six. Oh sure, I'm calling that a win.
It's entirely socialist as well since Yevette loves the stuff. As soon as she saw it, she asked about the cheese but any good grated cheddar will do and she also looked for an onion since no four-way is complete without a layer of onions. All the required ingredients are here so it looks like Christmas dinner will be Skyline chili, just as it was with the early settlers.
Ed: the Pilgrims never ate that stuff!
They were just a bunch of lost and confused religious hoboes. I mean the Greek settlers. They're the ones who got Skyline chili happening in Cincinnati.
I think it was a Lotho tip about Kroger and it was a great one with immediate gratification.
Now for the strangest segue ever from Skyline chili to Peace on Earth with David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

Thats FAB!! Did ya get oyster crackers too? That should last ya for a little while and I would have sent it again, but the postage is so high.
Had that for supper tonight--over cheap tamales, cheese and quaq on top with crumbled up (Mexican oyster crackers :) -- corn chips. Delish! ML
Yes, I really did. I couldn't leave without looking for oyster crackers and it was a win on those as well.
Don't worry about shipping it now and thanks for doing it before. The shipping was a huge part of why I didn't get any directly from Skyline but it was so expensive anyway that I never got to being able to pay and being willing to pay at the same time.
It probably won't surprise you to hear one can didn't even make it through the day. Plain chili with oyster crackers is one heathen delight!
Fairy Princess was excited to receive the card.
The penquin visit was a crazy wild event. With penquins laying on her feet and pretending to nest. I will send pictures when I can. The 3 of them were constantly complimented on thier onsies,
How extraordinary that it got there on time. I really was a tad guilty over sending it since I truly appreciate the mail carriers even working Christmas Eve and the size of the card meant it couldn't go into your mailbox. The prospect of a happy Fairy Princess outweighed that of an annoyed mail carrier but I do have enough conscience to feel at least kind of bad about that. I'm most pleased to hear she liked it and thanks.
Three penguins sounds like a doting grandma, an aunt, and the Fairy Princess' mother but that must mean Papa Penguin took a pass on the penguin suit. Say it ain't so (larfs).
That must have been really special and it seems sometimes you worry about how much of this she will remember but I doubt she will forget much at all. The in-between stuff gets forgotten but this type of thing doesn't. Yes, please, I would love to see pictures!
