NEW CHARM CELEBRATES THE FOOTBALL SEASON

by Hazed

Anton Gallagher held a press conference yesterday to announce the launch of his new charm, on sale from today from his swanky store on Earth. Because the new charm celebrates the start of the football season in many parts of Earth (and, by extension, the whole Galaxy because it tends to follow Earth's trends and fashions) the charm was, he told us, a football.

He showed us the tiny football charm, and we all applauded politely but without much interest. It was pretty, but so what. Then he brought out a special guest to show us what the charm would do: galactic football star David Zedan-Henry, nicknamed Goldentoes for his fancy footwork with the ball. He took the charm from Anton and placed it on the ground, and then we saw the technology that had gone into the charm. It grew, until it was a full-sized football... but the astonishing thing was, it was shaped like an American football when you looked at it from one angle, but like a soccer ball from a different angle. Anton refused to explain what technology allowed it to be both things at one time, although he did mention it made use of quantum effects, whatever they are!

Then Goldentoes kicked the ball and... well, words can't describe the display he put on. Well, a good sports writer probably could find the words, but what do I know about football? I'm not a sports fan. Still, I gather it was very impressive.

Anyway, football fan or not, I had to buy one of the charms for myself to add to my collection. You can get yours from Gallaghers for one slithy tove, with 'BUY FOOTBALL'. Once you own it you can 'CLIP FOOTBALL CHARM' to add it to your keyring so other players can see it, and then try giving it a kick to see if you can do as well as the professionals. I advise you to try more than once because you may find different results each time!

The football charm will be on sale for about a month. Last month's charm, the schoolbell, is now officially unavailable, although as always the greedy assistant, looking to line her own pockets, will sell you a few of her private stock for two slithies - just 'BUY SCHOOLBELL' if you missed it last month.
