    Nice idea, but bzzzzzzt.

    Silhouttes oughta be metal so they produce a satisfying “PLINK” when hit. Good to put em on pivots too so they go “PLINK … phwet, phwet, phwet, phwet” as they spin.

    I’m throwing my hat in the ring for Christmas ornaments.

    You’re GOOD Kari! (Yes, we already knew that.) Lesee now, when you win do you get your hat back?

    One of those answers is correct.

    So…ummm…how about Christmas ornaments. So the real question is what kind of ornaments. How about little sailboats?

  10. Bob Says:

    Well Shannon, most of the intended recipients don’t have quite the same entusiasm for boating that I have … and live in areas where sailing at Christmas time can happen only on boats with runners. Nice idea, but I’ll stay with something a little closer to “traditional.”

    Thanks for stopping by.
