Forum present...

[darling]

If, like last year, the forum is thinking of presenting a present to Randi, may I suggest something like these:

(says budddyh, about to order them all for himself!!)

You want to give Randi "The Flu"? Yech!

Actually, it's a pretty humorous idea. Is there any chance of getting an autographed copy of one of Richard Dawkins books? I probably could get an autographed copy of one of Daniel Dennett's books, unless he's on vacation.

Well, considering that the conference is a lot more expensive this time around, something like that would be quite hilarious and in line with the funds (or lack, thereof) that we have currently! :D

So, I say let's go for it and how about we include a pack of Tarot cards? ;)

OK, I'll see if Prof. Dennet is in his office and if I can find a copy of "Darwin's Dangerous Idea". (Linda says he has "Freedom Evolves".)

We could get him this game in addition to the Tarot cards:

That's cool! :)

I'll buy the book tonight and visit Prof. Dennett on Monday. :) At TAM2, I'll impose on Randi to autograph something for him, since Dr. Dennett's a fan of Randi's. :D

Excellent idea, Scott!

good plan scott! I'm busy bidding on something for Mr.Randi on ebay...so I hope my luck and budget hold out.

I have to say the Ulcer doll is cute. However, since Linda and I have a fear of a flu attack right before TAM I'm not laughing. I havev the anitseptic hand wash out all the time now, and I'm feeling achy...AUGH!!!!!!

Oh yes, that's right... I better take some major drugs NOW.

I'm thinking of going to the doctor and seeing what she'll give me if I pretend to have the flu...or a sinus infection....or the plague....or an ingrown toenail...

any of those things that could destroy a good JREF conference.

I'm even making the kids constantly wash their hands.

I'm sniffling....I'm sniffling...

OK, time for some Cipro!

[kittynh]

talk about an ulcer. I am carefully monitoring something I would like to get for Mr.Randi on ebay. I am the worlds worst ebay bidder. I always lose stuff in the last minutes, mainly because I cant be bothered to remember when the auction ends.

But this time I have all my eggs in one basket...
if this falls through I'm going to have to give him a bird feeder that looks like a covered bridge, or maple candy shaped like a Pilgrim.

Just what I need....more stress!

(clean, must clean....)

The giant microbes are even cuter than their picture suggests (I got them for a doctor friend).
