Nope, link still doesn’t work for me . . . Though, come to think of it, why the hell do I keep clicking on it? I HATE pictures of babies! ---

Screech, just so you know, we do have a Museum Store, at the Tampa International Airport. And I have seen the Gorey calendar at…Borders Bookstore, I believe. ---

We just built another terminal on Orlando International Airport and got another Disney Store. Lucky you. ☹ I’ve already sent of my order for the Gorey calendar. ---

Screw being mature! I got a **Powerpuff Girls** calendar. Sixteen months of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup fighting the baddies of Townsville and looking too cute for words. I saw it in Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and I couldn’t resist. 😃 ---

Boy, do I have a lot of imagination. I have the pug-a-day 2001 calendar already on my desk. It already tends to fall open on the pages with puppies. ---

If I can’t give someone a book for Christmas, then I generally give a calendar. I already have two put aside for friends: one is getting the New Yorker cartoon desk calendar; the other, a “Quotable Simpsons.” I’ve already bought myself the 2001 “Onion’s Our Dumb Century” desk calendar. I’ve put some favourites from 2000 under my transparent desk-pad-blotter-cosy/protective sheath-thing: “**SINATRA WARNS RUSSKIES TO KNOCK IT OFF -Singer Gives Krushchev 24 Hours to ‘Drop This Commie Bunk or It’s Ring-a-Ding-Ding for You Bozos’**” When may we expect the Eve Golden ™ 16-month “oo-la-la calendar” with herself as a different Silent Screen Goddess every month? I’m torn between June (Louise Brooks) and October (Pola Negri) myself. ---

ladybug, the Powerpuff Girls RULE! And in case you didn’t notice the calendars I was thinking about…HelloKitty isn’t the usual choice for most 31 year olds. 🙂 ---

At work, I have the 2000 Onion calendar (“Man Lands on Fucking Moon” Armstrong says, “Holy Living Fuck”) and a Dilbert calendar. At home, a Jeopardy calendar (I currently have $235,312,900 in winnings!) For 2001, I will do like I always do, check out the bookstores on Jan. 2 for the half-price closeouts for some sort of oddball calendar. ---

Am I the only one able to remember what day it is? For scheduling stuff that is what my Visor Handspring is for so I guess you could say I already have my 2001 calendar (and my 2002 and 2003 and . . .) We currently have a dry-erase fill-it-in yourself calendar on the refridgerator. It only holds one month and currently is telling me what I will be doing in March 2000. We may need to update it. ---

I got my work calendar for 2001 in September–and it’s already filling up. _Not_ with giddy, titillating social events, however. ::pauses for satiric Doper chorus of bogus suprise:: Each year, for me, I buy a Far Side tear-off calendar. Haven’t bought it yet, because it’s always my consolation gift to myself while Christmas shopping. Hey, it’s _apt_. Hating shopping so much, it’s a hopeful grace note for the upcoming year, and a reward for not spraying stores/tatty costumed Santas/sreeching PA systems with semiautomatic weapons. Wandering badly afield, I don’t actually _own_ firearms, but the Christmas Shopping Season is upon us, and where is Homer’s thread about Doper “secret elf” gifts…? Wall-eyed, stressed–what were we talking about? Veb ---

I used to work for a large bookstore (with the initials Barnes & Noble) and all the calendars went half-price on December 26th! Even the ones that people returned without a receipt were only worth 50%. And thank you very much, Eve, for making my day. [singing] I’m gonna get a Gorey! I’m gonna get a Gorey!

Oddly enough, I have a recent experience to toss into this fray. I joined the company for whom I now travail in early April of this year. The secretary who was in handling my requests for stuff found that, at that point in the year, nobody had any calendars. We finally found one that started with July, and was, at best, non-descript. Now I’ve been here a bit and I expect the vendors will supply me with something adorned with romantic photos of really big-ass drilling rigs, or strings of vibrators (the heavy duty commercial sort - you know, with passenger seats ;)). ---

I have a Terry Pratchett “Discworld” calendar for the toilet, some nondescript calendar with quotes for work and a calendar with photos of Scotland for my room.
