Seems like cost of products this holiday season are going up. In an event that your Christmas list this year includes every item mentioned in the famous Christmas song,  "The Twelve Days of Christmas," be prepared to pay nearly 100,000 USD.

A couple of comments I forgot to post about John's short story reading....

1)  Good choice, and well-read.  Just about the perfect length, fun story, and the accents were solid. (And for most people, the decision not to attempt a Scottish accent is the right one!)

2)  I discovered John's work over at the DWADs (www.dwad.net).  The Time Brokers was a good story, and it was neat to see a nod to it here.  The Christmas Conspiracy (Riftmas Day 10) is a great example of the series.  Any Dr Who fans who haven't heard the DWADs should give them a listen.  Solid stuff.  John's work is all really good, but I'm particularly partial to the story who's name would be somewhat familiar to listeners here ("The Chronic Rift") and its follow-up ("The Perfection Society").  Anything written by Julio Angel Ortiz is pretty darn good as well.

Any chance you'll be doing any more audio drama work in the near future, either for the DWADs or elsewhere?

3) I am still kicking myself for not keeping up with the Short Trips series before BF lost its license.  I'm *particularly* unhappy that I never picked up The Quality of Leadership. which last time I looked was fetching up around $100 at various and sundry shops around the internet.  (If anyone can point me to a place I can find the later Short Trips for a more reasonable price I'd be very grateful!)

John, I know you've published short stories for the first, second, seventh, and eighth Doctors... and other stories out there that I've missed?

And for the rest of the episodes throughout the year.  And mainly for being yourselves, which is the main reason I listen to the show.  May Timothy Olyphant bring you all wonderful holiday presents.

Hey you guys!

Thanks for another great 12 Days of Riftmas.  Hope you all have a great holiday filled with all the good things.

Peace!

Threw me for a loop when The Changeling mentioned that he was using the Internet before the Fantastic Four existed, but I guess that works given Marvel's ever-shifting fountain of youth timeline!  No "No Prize" for me!

On one of the eipsodes (Sadly I cannot remember which one) there was some guitar music played that I thought was wonderful.  What was it and where can I get it please?

The Rats in the Walls.  This is how I got my start with Lovecraft.  Very few stories are this damn scary.

In the Walls of Eryx.  I'm not the only one who thinks this is a cool story, right?  Right???

and ...

Did you miss our production of Kevin Lauderdale's "James and the Dark Grimoire?"  Or are you just dying to hear it again?  Check it out here! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll say "Wow, what an EXCELLENT monster!"

For those of you keeping score at home, this year's #1 was (yet again) by an X Factor winner, Matt Cardle, "When We Collide."  I think we need to start organizing now to make The Beatles "Hello, Goodbye" #1 in 2011.

for my lack of singing ability.  This is why a musical Rift episode is a very bad thing.

You can get a flavor of the TV version of Putti Plutti Pott via this YouTube clip:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxc1w62GLfI.  Interestingly, if you go to YouTube and search Putti Plutti Pott, you get a lot of community theater production clips.  Norwegians love their Putti Plutti Pott.

nice get!

before any permanent psychological damage occurred!

sounds a lot like My Teacher Is an Alien by Bruce Coville.  What is the target age group for Boom?

I ask my students if they have been raised by wolves.

"Yowza, yowza!"

Had to laugh at that getting slipped in, delivered in the same young-adult-friendly tone as the rest of the segment...  He he he...
