December brings inclement weather, malevolent spirits (in the form of alcohol), tacky decorations, advertising overload, spent wallets, grandma’s mystery pudding, and festive family gatherings where politics, religion, and covid dance awkwardly on every wagging tongue. Merry Christmas. :)
December ends with gifts and good tidings. There’s always a bright side, right?
On that note, I have good news: Neddy Games is giving away one Conspiracy Theory board game to a lucky Alien Tribune subscriber every month until my book launches sometime next year. Conspiracy Theory is easy, fun, and far-out. It’s affordable at around thirty bucks, but it still costs more than my future book. Hopefully, this will convince you that I am not a grinch. Still, I worry that you may think I have a screw loose. But I always worry about that.
In THE LEVITATION GAME, Dob-Dec (my curious and mischievous alien character), plays games that even Neil deGrasse Tyson might fail to win. So I’m kicking off the giveaways with a guessing game.
The first person to guess right wins the game. Guess wrong, and you are out of the running for December—maybe. If no one guesses correctly, I will still draw a winner from my responses. If no one responds to my newsletter at all, well, bah humbug. I suggest that you reread A Christmas Carol and rewatch The Grinch.
Sound fun?
What is Dob-Dec’s favorite food?
- Sticky and delicious honey collected from imported (Amazon doesn’t deliver to Pleione) honeybees.
- Bovine meat grown from the beings tissue and DNA files.
- The roots of the exotic green orchid.
- Kapa seeds (native to planet Pleione) that pop and crunch like earthly popcorn.
- None of the above.
