Christmas List Idea?


Rumor has it, these are available now. I know *I* would want one ;-)

  1. I certainly do feel happier just looking at it! And they got rid of the little goatee that marred the prototype!

  2. Wouldn't the tree lean terribly to one side, though?

    Or maybe that's just a good excuse to buy two...?

  3. Nick, that's just an excuse for ACS to launch a Belloc one next year! :)

  4. LOL, a Belloc ornament would have to be a talking ornament -- make that shouting ornament -- bellowing "Gilbert! Gilbert! Bacon! Beer!" all night long.

  5. I could get by with just the Gilbert if I had maybe two dozen Shaws to hang on the other side, I guess. There's probably an equation somewhere to work out the proper placement.

  6. You don't really need a dozen Shaws but you might have to make him fat. After all, Shaw was an egalitarian. :)

  7. I just imagined a GKC ornament with bun caught in his mouth (hah!)

  8. I just received it!

    GKC looks great! I am proudly displaying him on my desk. Everyone is asking questions...I'm going to place an ACS membership form next to the ornament :)

  9. Gen: Does it say made in China?

  10. Yes, I want to know that, too. Where was it made?

  11. I guess it would be asking too much for it to say "Made in England"...

    The really hilarious thing, for those of us who have been to Middle Earth, is to imagine it having been produced around the Lonely Mountain...

    ah... which means it would probably read "Made in Dale".

    In runes, of course.

    Hee hee.

  12. It doesn't say anything that I can find.

    Maybe next year we can convince Dale to make it into a knob for a beer tap.

    :)

  13. On a serious note -

    I have to say that this little thing is much better than an ornament. It isn't light or fragile at all and can double as a mini statue, a paper weight, or anything else you can think of.

    I love it!
