...things couldn't get much weirder...

quote:
In the Hallmark quarterly newsletter they announce that a series of "Stamps Of The Century" Christmas ornaments based on the ongoing postage stamp series will be released. One of these will be the Star Trek stamp. These ornaments are described as featuring "etched metal frames with ceramic stamp designs". As they are pictured in my newsletter, each ornament has a pressed metal frame with the ceramic stamp suspended inside.
The artwork on the Star Trek stamp (which is the same as will appear on the forthcoming Trek stamp and is a painted image of the original Enterprise by artist Keith Birdsong) is very impressive. Each ornament will list for $9.95 and will join previously announced Trek 1999 ornaments Lt. Commander Worf($14.95), USS Rio Grande runabout(lighted and "talking" $24.00), and USS Enterprise "Crown Reflections"($25.00).

Ah, the excesses of materialistic capitalism, every little trinket possible will be produced as long as there is a chance it will turn a profit. I think I'll pass up the ornaments, but the stamp sounds interesting. I wonder if it will be available in Canada, through Canada Post perhaps.

No, no. The stamp is an ornament.

See? Quite weird indeed...

Er, Elim, there are stamps AND ornaments. Just a reminder to all, the stamps of the 60's (collection with the Enterprise stamp in it) will be on sale THIS SEPTEMBER.

Well, there are stamps and ornaments, but the ornaments have the stamps in them, so, in a certain case, the stamp is the ornament.

And I say that as though it were actually a comprehensible explanation, rather than more confusing than everything was to start with... :-)
