Yay! Internet

[dagibbs]

Well, at least I'll have internet for my last night here, staying at a Holiday Inn near Heathrow. Wonder how much LJ I can get caught up on? I am SO far behind.

And the tackiness level in my life has greatly increased...

The people I was teaching gave me a present today... it is a stuffed moose head that, if you squeeze its ear, will sing a Christmas carol, and wish you "Merry Christmoose". I wonder if I should "lose" it. (And, if I don't lose it, where the heck I'm going to pack it.)

P.S. I bought myself this weeks Economist (yeah, I've already got it at home, oh well) to give myself some reading material for the flight home.

I'll take the moose if you don't want it. (My sister's hated nickname is "Moose," and I like to taunt her :)

The moose head is something you can re-gift. Things like that need to be re-gifted. It keeps them in circulation and allows many people to enjoy the joke, without having to fill the landfill with things that are cute for ten minutes and then useless. You should give it to someone on the plane.

Unfortunately, given the current paranoia level, I think trying to give it away on an airplane is a really bad idea. I mean, unless closed-door violations brought upon by people you didn't really want to know is your idea of a good time. ;)

I'll have to agree with Kathy though. I like the idea of keeping it in circulation. Re-gifting can be fun. (Speaking of which, I have a really nice Jesus mantle-clock if anyone wants a fun gift to give away. < grin > )

Somehow, I was expecting Moosey Christmas.

Ask the hotel whether they can donate the moose to a toy-collection charity. Or leave it for the hotel cleaning staff. They probably aren't paid well enough to buy many xmas presents for their kids.

See you Saturday. See my purplesofa journal for a poll about when I should serve what food.

I'd volunteer to take the moose off your hands if it were a whole plushie moose. But somehow, the fact that it's a moose *head* drives the tackiness level right past 'cute' and into 'OMFG'. *shudder*
