Throwing Down the (Hockey) Gauntlet
Dear CCR,
Now that there will be a playoff series between the fierce Philadelphia Flyers and the beastly Boston Bruins, how's about a friendly wager?
If the Bruins win, I will send you a package of the (mailable) Philly delicacy known as Tastykakes.
If the Flyers win, you will send me a package of. . . well, something equally known as a (mailable) Boston delicacy. (I am disappointed that this puts Miri & Carlos out of the running, but I figured I had to be reasonable.)
Deal? R.S.V.P. in the combox.
Sincerely,
Kate P.
P.S. My cat is already decked out in Flyers' colors, so I suggest you start knitting some fanwear for Miri & Carlos or Boston will question your loyalty.

Unfortunately, Miri qualifies as neither a delicacy nor mailable—especially not the latter! Which is a shame, as she is absolutely free to a good home…but I digress.
I will have to ponder the identity of the mailable Boston delicacy, as lobstah, chowdah, and Boston cream pie are none of them easily mailed. And I don’t think that Boston baked beans count as a delicacy! But I’ll come up with some ideas … unless you’d prefer your potential prize to be a hand-knit hat or scarf in Flyers’ colors? Just a thought.
I really want to see a picture of Cat in her Flyers’ colors! Unfortunately, I will not be knitting anything black-and-gold for my cats, as that would violate my firm in-house policy of no hand-knits for the home-cats. You can understand I feel pretty strongly against teaching the cats that yarn = toy. But I will continue to encourage them to learn what “Go Bruins!” means (watch the TV).
The Cat is in Flyers' colors every day, because she is orange, black, and white. All calicoes are automatic Philly fans. :)
Y'know, I'm somehow relieved to learn you don't knit little outfits for the cats. . .
