I had to write up a product description for something Doctor Who<\/i>-ish — Creation is doing some Who<\/i> shotglasses with the TARDIS and the series logo.<\/p>\n
I needed something catchy. Something the Doctor would drink.<\/p>\n
It came to me.<\/p>\n
I typed it up, giggling all the way.<\/p>\n
Something along the lines of “If you’re going to put away a Gallifreyan Tickler with the Doctor, you’ll want these shotglasses yadda yadda yadda.”<\/p>\n
A Gallifreyan Tickler? What’s that, you say?<\/p>\n
There’s a Doctor Who<\/I> fan audio from BTR Productions<\/a> entitled “The Monopoly Pub Crawl of Doom” — the Doctor and his two companions land in London on Christmas Eve and get involved in a pub crawl. At one point the Doctor, very sloshed, asks for a Gallifreyan Tickler.<\/p>\n Yeah, it’s obscure. The number of people who would recognize the reference probably numbers under a thousand. The number of people who would recognize the reference and see<\/i> the product listing? Could probably count that on a single hand.<\/p>\n But don’t think I didn’t enjoy writing that up. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n The text came back from Purchasing this afternoon, and it’s gone to Layout. The Gallifreyan Tickler, it’s going in the catalog. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had to write up a product description for something Doctor Who-ish — Creation is doing some Who shotglasses with the TARDIS and the series logo.
