THE TOP TEN REASONS TO BUY SLITHIES THIS CHRISTMAS

by Jezz

For this week's top ten we barely managed to avoid the disastrous Top Ten Nicknames We Could Call Jezz To Embarrass Her... yes, I'm breathing a heavy sigh of relief here... and settled instead on the very much more worthy Top Ten Reasons to Buy Slithies at Christmas! There were just so many wonderful reasons to buy slithies, I couldn't include them all, but in this season of giving I sincerely hope that you all find a way to purchase a couple, no matter what your reasons are.

And without further ado, here are your...

Top Ten Reasons to Buy Slithies This Christmas!
10. So you can make sure you get every single charm that goes on sale, ever!
9. To be rich and shameless as slithies are the ultimate status symbol.
8. Because you need that Ship Registry and all the extra rooms on your planet. (Don't be fooled... size is everything.)
7. Because they let you into the special section of the Zoo and if you become a sponsor, you have access to Ming's Hunting Lodge.
6. To give as very special gifts.
5. Because you like shiny, pretty things.
4. Bribery of all kinds... bribing DJ not to hit you with the I-beam, bribing a PO to pardon you, bribing a merchant to haul out your exchange, a financier to part with your shares etc etc etc.
3. Because there's a new thing POs can buy that's very cool! (Hazed wouldn't tell us what that was so if you only read the funnies you won't know what it is now either.)
2. With a keyring you get the ultimate accolade - use of the executive washroom!
and the number one reason to buy slithies this Christmas is...
1. Because buying slithies helps to pay Fed bills and keep the universe safe and here for us all to enjoy!


Thanks go out to Hazed, Andrew, Squeeky, Riley, Fletcher, Djentsch and Bourbon for all their ideas. I hope everyone has a wonderful Festive Season... and remember... if you get tired of the never-ending Christmas songs on the radio, in the stores and everywhere else, you can always crumple up a couple of slithy certificates and use them as ear plugs.
