Moo Cards

I've been hearing a lot from colleagues about business cards from Moo Cards. What makes Moo cards different from other business cards is printing on the back side of the card at no extra charge! For artists and creatives this means you can upload samples of your work. Authors, upload your book jackets or selected quotes from your books.

The cards are reasonably priced for small orders and price breaks are offered for larger orders. I placed an order and they arrived a week sooner than expected! Uploading and designing my cards was easy though there are tons of designs to choose from if you don't want to design your own. The cards I chose are a nice weight with a satin finish. You can even have rounded corners if you want. The cards come in a sturdy box that doubles as a display box. My only disappointment is the cards are just a tad wider than standard business cards so they don't fit in the brass card case I have.

The Friday Five

1. Watching television last night, I was horrified to see there's a remake of The Three Stooges. Say it ain't so, Moe.

2. How can anyone tamper with such a classic? It's not just about substituting a bald guy, a guy with a bird nest hairdo, and a guy with a bowl cut mop.

3. I'm sure the genius of the original Stooge comedy will be reduced to adolescent male, bathroom humor.

4. How can they hope to improve on classic puns like, "Hi Lorna, how ya do'on?", the law firm of Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe, or the fish monger company, Hook, Line, and Sinker?

5. Why it would be as sacrilegious as remaking Ben Hur. Oh, wait, they did that three times. Or remaking the story of the Titantic. Oh, wait, they did that three times. Or remaking the Titanic in 3D. Oh, that remake is coming out, too. Or remaking The Day the Earth Stood Still. Deep sigh, forlorn look.
