Good day my fine friends today’s picture is both recent and topical as the world is galloping, on a mostly malnourished due to fiscal lack, steed, towards the season of gift giving.

I was using my Nom de fame` to affiliate with and endorse a veritable venture of purveying pretty, practical and pleasurable  `must have` pet packages to generous aficionados of, no! not proper performers but merely celebrities.  These would then be, in adoring fashion, forwarded on that they might be the means of equipping favoured personalities with both the means to further attract constantly coveted exposure of their often unsavoury larks and to enhance their ` often questionable` chic looks with the lovable, and some have been heard to murmur unfortunate, accessory pet and accompanying party piece, combo casket, why it was bordering on an errand of mercy and you the good public were almost the Samaritan saviours to such good deed.

Alas it was doomed from the start despite my earnest endeavours.   No, there was no shortage of pup supply but an intervention from the animal welfare authorities who had issues with supplying products of cuddly canine offspring to said personalities, that were in the main, and publically evidenced to be, incapable of administering care to their very own selves let alone an unruly pup,

Unfortunately before this said intervention had taken place no less than three gift packages had been commissioned, coffers stumped up for and dutifully, and potentially unlawfully, dispatched to favoured females of celebrity status.

This resulted in a predicament of an unfortuitous chain of causation occurring from the well intentioned, but sadly overlooked and contestable as to the foreseeablity of in a court of law, design flaw.  Yes I and my affiliates in this potentially lucrative venture had, in order to both enable a profitable but considerately favourable to you the good public price and to simultaneously dispense with the usual showy ostentation of the targeted lasses due to the current economic climate as it might incur envious wraths from the non adoring hoi polloi resulting in revolting masses, chosen to package the products in a recyclable, almost rustic, therefore both environmentally friendly and potentially trendsetting gift receptacle.  

However it transpired that the emaciated frail celebrity limbs were unable to withstand the weight of the boxed treats and had suffered almost irreparable damage including incurring no less than 150, 110, and 98 splinters of `ludicrously stated, proportions somewhat akin to lengthy log pieces` to the three receiving laydees in the short span of time from transporting it from the inquisitive clutches of the officious mailman to the nearest domestic surface, in all cases no more than 7 yards away.   Litigation was threatened and a public slur bandied at the boxed booty implying defective design of the containers but your truly was more than a bit miffed and demanded they be forcibly instructed to circulate both an apology and declaration of contributory negligence, due to deliberate lack of calorofic intake on each of the celbrities in question's part, as since time immemorial, whittled and craft fashioned pieces had been used for storage and containable purpose without incident and therefore I was sufficiently confident in the application of the remoteness-test in any court of law but was advised, perhaps that it was best to draw a veil over this incident for the speedy relief of all parties.
