FEN19971212.0931
Greetings and salutations Santa, elves and anyone dumb enough to feel like they owe me a gift...
Yes, it's that time of the year again...LET'S ALL GIVE FENNY A GIFT Day (WHAT??? So I decided to rename X-Mas...MY holiday has more...pizazz to it, don't you think???)!!! For those of you who are "alumnus" of my annual list, you know the drill, for those of you newcomers (FRESH MEAT!!!), this is my annual X-Mas list that I mail out to everyone that NEEDS to give me a GIFT. As this is the abridged version of the list (the unabridged version is 247 pages long...not including the index, of course), so these are only the things that I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want. For those of you who just can't find that special something, the unabridged version IS available (only $29.95 not including shipping and handling). If you get stuck on a gift, just call the Fenny X-Mas hotline (operators are standing by) and one of my sales reps will be ready to assist you at anytime.
This list is not complex (I designed it for the simpletons that are my friends and family...er...I mean...for the lovely gift givers that are my friends and family), but there ARE a few sections to it. In the past I've done a "Table of Contents", but since many of you used this to line your birdcages with (I know WHO you ARE!!!), that only confused you even more. So, here is a brief overview of what is covered. The MAIN list starts right after this letter. They are not in any particular order (fennies don't have orderly minds), so don't place too much importance on the position a certain gift is on the list. On the list there are items that have "see appendix" after them, which starts right after the main list, on page 5. The appendixes are broken up by category and you may select any item in the appendixes. They function like the list, but since it's a huge category, I just lumped them together in the appendixes. Please, do not feel hampered by sending me only one gift...by all means...send as many gifts as you deem appropriate (the more the merrier, I always say)...and please remember...this IS the season of giving...
Even if you have already purchased a gift (or many gifts) for me, please still review this list as there may be items that you have not previously thought of purchasing for me and can still do so. Now, every year, several of you have taken it upon yourselves to make it a point of sending me a lump of coal. Coal is fine as a gift...once it has been compress under a ton of pressure and CHANGED INTO A DIAMOND, thus anyone caught sending me a lump of coal again THIS year will DIE a horrible and tragic death (remember, I AM the Unibomber).
All right, go out, shop, have fun, AND DON'T FORGET TO SEND THE RECEIPT WITH YOUR PRESENT!!!
Fenny!!!
P.S. Note to Santa: Every year you put me on the "naughty list". If you persist to do so, you will be sued for discrimination against the "nice and goodly challenged".

A couple of last notes and things...
I'm impressed...you've made it this far without pulling out all your hair in frustration (I'm just aggravating, aren't I???). I hope you were able to find a gift suitable for me from the list. If not, please keep in mind that I DO have the unabridged version available (only $29.95 on sale now...shipping and handling not included), or you may call the FENNY 24 HOUR GIFT HOTLINE (operators are standing by)...
The FENNY 24 HOUR GIFT HOTLINE is available for those of you who just can't decide WHAT to get me (if in doubt, get everything), or if there are any problems or questions, or if you wish to order the unabridged version. A new feature of the FENNY 24 HOUR GIFT HOTLINE is that you may now file for getting an extension for giving me a gift, over the phone! Previously, you would have needed to fill out all the forms in triplicate and have it postmarked no later then midnight December 20, but now, you may just call and file over the phone (deadline is December 24th to file for the 1997 extension). Please remember, all collect calls will be charged to your account with the usual 16.7% interest rate...
Now, since last year, many of you have voiced complaints that you should be exempt from giving me a present (or many presents) due to religious reasons. Well, I would like to take this time now to emphasis that this holiday is not about religion...heck, it's not even about peace on earth! It's a holiday to celebrate the blatant and aggressive marketing tactics of huge meglo-maniacal heartless corporations that cater to our greedy and capitalistic ideal that we can not survive without having everything everyone else has (regardless if they have it or not) and more. So, you see...this holiday transcends religion and moralistic beliefs to what we really want and care for...gifts and plenty of them...hahahahahahaha!!! But seriously...you need not give a gift if it's against your religious beliefs...just keep in mind that it's against MY religious beliefs to allow you to live...heeheehee...
Happy holidays everyone and hope you all have a wonderful New Year!!!
Fenny!!!
P.S. Don't forget to recycle this after you're done!!! Don't want to pollute the planet before I get a chance to conquer and sell it!!!
