I’m just got home from a business trip, I’ve had a hellish couple of weeks, and I have a cold. But thanks to Steve at Mysdirection, I have something to share with all of you. Click on through for the sheer genius of this.
Drive Someone Insane With Postcards
If I start getting postcards from Poland I’ll blame Denton. Why? Because when I first moved to Austin I was completely taken in by that Midwestern deference, but then my husband read Blackburn, which I had read many many years ago, and I was reminded that looks can be deceiving.

That’s fiendish. Of course, if the recipient is a devotee of science fiction, they’re likely to find it less frightening and more piquant. Time travel? Cool. Someone I don’t know sending weird personal messages? Might be an alien. Or an alien time traveler. Or an alien mind-reading time traveler!
I know its been a rough few weeks, Maureen. Rest up. We’re all thinking of you. And: hot ginger tea for the cold, kay?

As of 12:30 CST, the bid’s up to $255.00. Too rich for my blood, McQ.
However, you have now — perhaps unwittingly — thrown down a gauntlet.
Beware.
(P.S. And feel better.)

Sooooo… Brad — Going to Japan with Barb early next year, if I remember correctly, yes?
Might be a chance to use your writing skills to terrify some strangers and make a little money on the side.

Start looking for a supply of weird old postcards now…

The bid is now up to $400.
I would never tell. Ever. If you care enough to torment someone, do it right.

My favorite comment on EBay:
Q: Have you thought about doing this for more than one person–like charging a “buy it now” rate of, say, $50? You could make a lot of money I think….
A: I could, but I’d be the Thomas Kinkade of postcards.
