This year I decided to send out Xmas greeting cards to my distant friends. I designed them myself and got them printed out, so I think I can say I put some effort in there.
When the time to write the message inside came, I was completely out of time and ideas, so I decided to write the same thing to everyone. It’s a quote from the movie Home Alone (which I might be totally obsessed about), more specifically from this scene:
Merry Christmas, you filthy animal. And a happy new year!
I mean, that’s catchy, fun, and universally known! Or so I thought. But let’s have a look at the statistics:
PERCENTAGE OF FRIENDS WHO GOT THE QUOTE: 0%
PERCENTAGE OF FRIENDS WHO THINK I’M AN HORRIBLE PERSON: 100%
Forever Alone.
Whaaaat!!! I thought i had received a unique piece of art!!! .____. I did think it was probably a quote from somewhere but of course didn’t know from where ^^
Your italian-ish nickname is awesome :D
ha ha, brilliant! I love that film so I would have got it. Doesn’t really help you though!
Well, at least it’s a sign of the fact that I’m not crazy :D
This Christmas card is clearly a work of genius. As we just spent the last month watching loads of Christmas movies (including all 3 Home Alone, 2 in German) we would have totally got it. Fellow geniuses.
Oh, Ebe, you’re the perfect human beings! Next year I’m gonna send one to you so at least someone will get my messages! :D
