I didn't want to ruin the surprise.<br /><br />If you must know, The Dry Snark Sarcasm Post Award for 2012 is currently being meticulously manufactured in your honor.<br /><br />It starts with a pristine shipment of outgoing paper products manufactured in the United States. Upon entry through the Port of Shanghai, the material is inspected for water damage and then shipped off to a premium manufacturing plant just out of Hangzhou ("paradise on the earth").<br /><br />A wise elderly craftsman inside the Lingyin Temple, under complete secrecy of course, transforms the material into a paper mache statue of the crafter's choice.<br /><br />This year, the crafter has chosen to place a likeness of Ben Bernanke atop a steaming heap of dog @#$%. It's UL-listed and uses regular tap water to create the steaming effect.<br /><br />I think you will be very pleased once it arrives in your mailbox, assuming the Postal Service is still in business at the time of delivery of course.<br /><br />The award will only cost you $19.99 plus processing and handling. If you call within the next 10 minutes we will ship you a second award absolutely free*.<br /><br />* Just pay separate processing and handling. Limit 500 free awards per household.Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-3612039054953923342012-12-11T18:31:50.896-08:002012-12-11T18:31:50.896-08:00Dammit!

I guess it all depends on what I could use to pay my bills. ;)Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-4922907460672390022012-12-11T17:04:34.481-08:002012-12-11T17:04:34.481-08:00Rob Dawg,
