Yesterday, I got my first holiday catalog of the season.
It is the 'Signals' gift catalog from the people at Public Television (online at http://www.signals.com).
I get a couple of these sporadically throughout the year and they usually end up on the dinette table as fodder for mealtime reading matter. I actually rather enjoy thumbing through them for their offerings of pithy sayings on teeshirts and tasteful tchotchkes like miniature statuary. They also do tasteful bling, games, puzzles, and tasteful housewares. The appeal is, of course, to fairly well-educated watchers of public television.
I like the teeshirt with a global land mass silhouette and the text reading: "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list." I, of course, thought of the good farther.
More along my lines is the teeshirt with the logo: "I'm not arguing. I'm just explaining why I'm right."
I liked, "I run like a girl" in large block print, with a slightly smaller tagline of, "So, try to keep up."
"My password is the last eight digits of pi."
So...Fun with catalogs. Anybody else thumbing through catalogs looking at goodies?

We only receive one for toys for Sinterklaas. This year they're not printing the prices anymore only a qrcode. Since it's mostly kids leafing through it I find it a disturbing manner of getting people to buy stuff.

I sometimes get caught up in the hardware store catalogue, but I don't get many of what could be called "Christmas catalogues" .

What I want is a Doomsday catalogue: things to enjoy when the world comes to an end.

I thought this was a thread about holidays as in vacation catalogs. Christmas catalogs is a lot less interesting. I do like the Password Pi slogan though.

Yes it's quite thick and luxurious

Thick and luxurious? Like a chocolate milkshake? Like a fur coat?

Or a beard?

When speaking of beards the word is luxuriant.

We didn't get one this year I could ask Col to pick one up at the store but it's a bit late I guess.
