Basil, Santa has been radio silent recently as my factories in Asia had some issues and Santa had to crack some heads in order to make sure all the GOOD little boys and girls got their due this year. I sent my elfs out to pick up any white owls or dutch masters I could but I forgot we cleaned out the gas stations for Mtr and Badwhale. So Mrs. Claus was in a really good mood this moring and put that extra stride in my step so I suppose I can give you one or two decent sticks to go along with the stale box wood tips I have. I'm going to use the PO as I just don't have time for you this year Basil We also thought of sending you an Elf but the Mrs. didn't think you could handle the added responsibility.

Evil Santa
