Blue Barnhouse Letterpress is simply awesome. I was idly coveting these classy anatomical heart thank-you cards when I discovered they actually have a special card FOR COLONOSCOPIES:
No, not even letterpress can make these brutal (and hopefully fictitious) colonoscopy implements "classy." But that's not stopping me from blogging it.

A few of my favorite holiday shopping suggestions from the past year of blogging. . .
#1. Pandemic, the Board Game. Turn H1N1 into holiday fun for everyone! (Already have Pandemic? Z-Man games has an upgrade pack.)
#2. Blue Barnhouse letterpress. Yeah, they're artistic and individually pressed,…
Thanks to SEED's matching Bloggers Challenge funds and some generous donors who gave me DonorsChoose gift certificates for Christmas, I got to push several worthy projects to completion this winter (by "topping off" their funding). That meant that I got real, snail mail thank-you packages from…
Just FYI: a DonorsChoose gift card is a great idea. The recipient gets to browse teachers' projects and pick one to fund, and when the project is complete, several weeks to months later, they'll get a letter from the teacher and thank-you notes from students.
I just got the thank-you package for…
I wanted to issue a great big thank-you to all of you who came by to comment on the 4th anniversary of this blog and share with us who you are and why you read. After a slow start, a few blog links and Twitter-prodding by my colleagues got the commenting going full bore. I intend to respond to…
You know, I really didn't need this bit of amusement this week.
And before anyone asks, the answer is yes.
Uh oh. Umm. . . sorry? :(
Not sure I would want to get that right before a colonoscopy. Maybe afterwards.
I actually made my dad a "Happy Colonoscopy" card...but it wasn't nearly as classy.
Couldn't resist the opportunity to comment on the coincidence.
Actually, this isn't the first and although the prep isn't exactly pleasant, it's not really a big deal. Better that than something worse -- and the flu is worse.
Coolio!
Hey- Saw this and was reminded of you, thought you might appreciate.

Oh, and...
Is there a way to get notifications when you reply to my comments? I don't seem to be getting anything.
I don't know. Scienceblogs is working on a different user experience for commenters anyway so perhaps in the future there will be, but if there is now, I don't know how.
Thanks! Yeah- I'd love to be able to know if you reply- it makes me feel all special and stuff.
Funny story about the Colonoscopy card: We not only make greeting cards, we also have a retail section in our store to sell our cards to the local folk. This funny old man that digs our trashy humor came in one day and asked if we had a happy colonoscopy card. "Nope," I said, "but we will next week!"
Though its a pretty specific occasion I thought it would make a great "yr gettin old!" birthday card, colonoscopy or not.
