This was my birthday card from Heidi:

I suppose it’s potential hurtfulness was mitigated by the fact that I do put the ass in asstastic. I put lots of things in lots of tastic situations. I’m both special and ass-y that way. Well, so overjoyed was I by this card that I :

  1. Have kept it sitting in my room for the better part of a month despite all my frenzied cleaning to the contrary.
  2. Researched the company that made it. This involved watching a video of greeting cards.
  3. Sent that video to Andy and Taylor.
  4. Decided that anyone who happened across my blog should know about this company.

The cards are produced by Junkmail Greetings, a fine young company of arty, smart asses. You can check the artist, Carol Lee out on Etsy, as well. It is the sort of company that makes you ask yourself why you didn’t think of it first. Sadly, I did think of this, not necessarily first, but I was too lazy to get off of my aforementioned ass and do something about it. In reality, they are go-getter, arty, smart asses. And, of course, they’re Canadian. I’ve thought about doing that, too. But, again, sloth overcame me.

Now, you may have noticed that in my list of fan behavior, I did not include buying any of the cards. I want to. But, I decided that the effort it would take to make new friends that I could, then, alienate with these greeting cards was a bit much. But, should I find myself with energy to burn and a room full of potential short term friends, I’ll be sending these (or you can just resign yourselves, my current friends, to receiving them):

This is the video I mentioned. Snark meets paper meets Mika!

Only watch this video if you’re ready for Beyonce’s jelly. Just so you know: she doesn’t think you’re ready for this jelly. Prove her wrong. And, pay close attention to my faves: Congratulations on your Mediocrity, What Were You Thinking?, I’m a Little Bit Better Than You, Maybe You Should Try Birth Control, and Do You Really Need That Slice of Pie?.
