So playing the trombone wasn't getting me in enough trouble? |
I really liked the idea of "The Trinket of the Day", so apparently did the Grumpy Leprechaun, Pub Bunny, and Anon-Y-Monkey. They all were quite happy with them until I presented the bill for the projected cost, which apparently they hadn't thought about; A full month of trinkets comes out to be a bit over 1.5 million Bananas. That price tag gave even Anon-Y-Monkey pause, made Pub Bunny ask if there would still be enough to keep him stock in sasparilla and the Grumpy Leprechaun just fainted in shock. Once I got everybody calm and alert again I made the following proposal, which was accepted unanimously; Starting in April, my three bosses will choose two "Observed Days" per week out of a sasparilla mug. Once the scuffle is over and the dust settles, whichever Day floats to the surface, I will create Trinkets for. One Trinket will be purely informational, though I have been informed that it should make Anon-Y-Monkey chatter, Pub Bunny snort sasparilla, and Grumpy Leprechaun smile. (Like that will ever happen). The second Trinket will feature a small challenge or contest, with prizes, fanfares, and marching bands. (I threw the last two in to shut them up.) In late-breaking news, another of my Monkey Bosses, Andre from "Invalid Item" phoned to make sure that this agreement would not affect his future Trinket orders — it will not, but his trinkets are only available in the bar! Of course, I reserve the right to continue Trinketeering at random when the mood takes me. So the "Only In NY State Series," Holidays, and whatever else the three stooges or Andre dream up will continue to pop up unexpectedly. And You Can't Stop Me! (Well, The ScaryMaster or The StoryWitchress could, but I'll try to stay on their good side!) |
