Birthday Churl

Today is my birthday.

I’ve been celebrating for the last week. My friends and I have been holed up in a lovely rented house in the mountains, making snowmen with large french bread penises and drinking anything we can get our hands on. I’ve also been eating ice cream and candy, and am now too fat to type without getting winded.

So this morning, on the anniversary of my birth, I’d like to give you a few presents.

Oh it’s not much. Just a little token, because I’m still pretty drunk.

First, reader Jonathan sent this ridiculously late entry into our one hour Photoshopping contest. He seems to have resigned himself to the fact that he’s not going to win, but he might have if he’d entered it in time.

Also in the mailbag, previously featured seller Raven (creator of the roadkill painting featured in December’s Advent Calendar) sent this photo of some homemade fetus cookies she wanted to share with me. Next year, we’re all having Christmas at her house.

Next up, a little something I wanted to share with you a few days ago but didn’t get around to – my favorite Etsy Forum comment of 2009. This is a screen cap sent to me by a reader who enjoyed the delicious irony of a bitchy remark made by a bitchy woman who doesn’t like my bitchy remarks.

it’s priceless. In fact, we might be looking at our next T-shirt.

By the way, this particular thread also had some harsh words for those of you who leave comments here. Apparently you’re not just making fun of the craft, you’re making fun of the crafter, and that’s “bordering on abusive.” So please try to keep your comments limited to hair styles, and we should all be on the same page.

Where’s my drink?
