I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date...
Sorry for the 'net absence! I've been under the weather for a few days, and feeling generally *ugh* so I missed the Friday deadline for the Pixie Epoxy contest. 'Cause of that, I'm allowing everyone's entries up to, well, this post, now.
Contest to name this fuzzy fella.
The response was overwhelming. Over 150 comments, it made me wish I had a ton more samples - I thought about just buying 20 or so, but the shipping cost of sending them out, generally overseas, would amount to more than I can afford. I thought everyone's suggestions were great, from the bizarre to the very well researched, so narrowing it down to 5 was really hard.
Nevertheless, I said I'd do it, so the five winners are...
Kyuubified - "Galileo"
Her Chefness - "Schrödinger"
RayJBady - "Lyra"
Kirsty - "Topher"
Abbey - "Cabal"
Her Chefness - "Schrödinger"
RayJBady - "Lyra"
Kirsty - "Topher"
Abbey - "Cabal"
I either really liked the thought behind it, or the sound of it. There were many more that I liked, too, so in the end I had a shortlist and had to exclude names with a random number generator, because I'm not good at making decisions. I also now know what "tiger" is in about seven different languages, go figure.
I actually decided to name the tiger Samus, which no one suggested (sorry!) after Metroid (I know, Samus was a girl, pfft. Tell it to Starbuck) just 'cause I liked the sound, again. But those five people still win an Epoxy sample and whatever else I feel like shoving in envelopes. Please e-mail me at Anastasia@LipsticksAndLightsabers.com with your postal details.
A note on the blog comments. Although the last entry's insane number clearly wasn't any indication of the regular number, you've probably noticed the number of comments per post has shot up lately, and it's becoming increasingly impossible to respond to them all. I read and adore and appreciate every single one - if any of you write your own blogs, you'll know that comments really make a blogger's day. I'll try to always answer direct questions, but I don't think I can keep on replying to them all (and am hideously behind, sorry!). If you have a question about something be it related, unrelated, extensive or a request, it's best to e-mail me to avoid having to dig the answer out of a long comment list. If I've previously missed a question you've asked me, please e-mail it to me and I'll get to it :]
P.S. An extra mystery prize goes out to the first person to comment and correctly identify the reference in this blog post's title ;D

24 February 2010 18:32Woo! You got it, Tea. E-mail me your details, too. <3
24 February 2010 18:33Waaaaaaaaaash! That's my boyfriend's favourite scene ever, and one day I'm going to get round to buying him the Think Geek tshirt...
24 February 2010 18:36Yay! I'm totally emailing you right now :D. I lol'd at Schrödinger, but Samus is a nice name too :p
Curse your sudden but inevitable posting-before-me!
24 February 2010 18:37*Hugs you*
24 February 2010 18:37Darn! Wish I had commented first. The title is from Firefly! Can I get extra points by saying it was Wash who said it when he was playing with his little dinos? Just a thought.
24 February 2010 18:50Ahh, damn, I was going to comment back "I think we should call it... your grave!"
24 February 2010 18:57Can I get extra points for having made earrings out of dinos because of that scene?
24 February 2010 19:02Dammit, I missed this one! Sigh.. Pilot episode of Firefly when they are introducing Wash and he's playing with dinosaurs when something beeps on the dashboard and they have a proximity alert! Reevers!
24 February 2010 19:02Tee hee Schrödinger.
24 February 2010 19:29we took Lily to the Natural History Museum last Sunday, and the minute we entered the kids' area w/ toy dinosaurs, Brad grabs them and starts the quotarama (with exactly your title quote!) Of course, I had no choice but to reply.
24 February 2010 20:05I discovered today that these amazing cookie/cake things that I've been scarfing down like mad, are basically the American version of Jaffa Cakes.
25 February 2010 07:41I feel our two lands have just become closer allies, connected by a "smashing bit" of orangey deliciousness.
Dammit, couldn't order from Fyrinnae the past few days, then I realised that the webshop is shut for changes.
25 February 2010 15:28DAMN! I needed me some epoxy, why do I have to find out about shiny ways of shiny eyes after everyone else :/
Awesome blog by the way, just hit upon it by accident on the wow-theme eyes :)
It was not reevers it was an alliance patrol ship. And Topher would've been an awesome name.
