HOLY CRAP

Two thousand copies of Regretsy’s Big Book of Fabricated Folktales from Finland arrived on a pallet today, and they are now resting comfortably in my garage. They look fantastic.

Well, except for the typos. I saw at least 8 of them before I just had to lie down.

Whatever, you already paid for them.

The books are completely sold out, and we’re starting to pack them up right now. Everything will be mailed out over the next few days, except for the BANDmade books (also sold out). Those are hand made and take a little longer. I’ll be sending those out when I get back from Finland on December 4th.

I hope you enjoy the book. More importantly, I hope the Finns have a sense of humor.

Use this link to buy the E-book:

            Actually, that’s a super common error. Usually plural possessives have the apostrophe after the “s,” but this case is different because “people” is already plural. Half the time I catch myself doing the same thing.

I was tempted to blame it on my keyboard, though — I cleaned it the other day (what? dog hair and keyboards aren’t good for each other?) and now half the keys are sticking, but really, I just had a brain fart. I transcribe for a living, so I really *do* know how to write correctly.

            100 points if you spot a typo in this post. I’m sure there must be one, since I haven’t noticed any. (Although I refuse to reread it just in case!)

          Simply because of this, we moved to a better school system; I got tired of correcting the memos in red ink and sending them back to the school and was seriously concerned about the future of my child, having them in such a place as that.

      That’s better than any Estonian joke I’ve ever heard, and the Estos and Finns are almost identical.

      The Estonian version of a Finnish joke is:

      A man and his son were walking to the lake to fish. On the way there, the father asks, “How are you?”

      On the way back, the son says, “Fine.”

        The cards are being boxed up on my birthday which is the Saturday after Thanksgiving this year, because my 80-year-old-in-laws are too feeble to do it for me over Thanksgiving to earn their dinner. I’m bringing them to the post office on Monday 12/5 already stamped so they’re just going to sort them and send them to you.

          In a former life I was an importer (hey I never claimed *I* made the stuff!). I had an order coming from India with express instructions that there be NO ELEPHANTS on anything. It was written right on the order form and signed by the seller.

          Guess what happened when I opened up the crate? Elephants everywhere! To make it worse, the seller kept claiming they didn’t send anything with elephants. What they just jumped on during the trip?!$

          True story, Princess…my hubby used to work as a customer service rep for a major ceiling fan company. People kept complaining of a particular fan smelling like rancid fish whenever the light was turned on.

          Turns out the globes for these particular fans were stuck on a dock for a week next to containers full of quarantined fish, which commenced to rotting.

          Apparently turning on the light “baked” the smell into the globe permanently.

          So as long as my deck doesn’t smell like a dirty vagina or something, I’ll be happy. :)

      Yes but now you can read the book that comes with the tarot cards!!!

      An excerpt:

      No matter how the supplicant approaches the Vagoo, she will not yield. Blocked at every turn the supplicant’s advances are met with “Not tonight honey, the Lyrica kicked in and it kinda makes you look like Wilford Brimley from this angle.”The Vagoo has grown cold, weary and demanding. The more the supplicant tries to bring forth the mystic juices, the more The Vagoo is unimpressed. The Vagoo will not tell you how to please her, just that you are pissing her off. She stares at the supplicant with contempt and rolls her eyes “For fuck’s sake it’s not a carpet stain, quit rubbing it like one.” and the supplicant goes away in disgrace. – description for Major Arcana III: Vagoo, reversed
