Disclaimer: As aforementioned (or pOmnian Shepherdsibly not) I own neither Discworld nor any of the characters wherein, neither do I own Christmas, although I do own a rather grotesque Christmas card bearing upon its cover a constipated teddy bear.

Gaia Ravyn Myles: Coming right up!

Mobius Shadow: ... ... ... *tilt* ... ... ... ... ...??? And I don't know what confused water-fowl have to do with it. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Yeah, I wrote Harry Potter and the Stoned PhilOmnian Shepherdopher. I haven't changed names for a while though... last time it was Maggie Bloom.
