GigglesWorth Notes 2020-09-27 (c) Copyright Brett Paufler # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Long ago (15-20 years ago), I bought a toy at the flea market. Of course, toy is a fairly demeaning title for a Plastic Persona. But that is the true (factual) beginning of my relationship with Mr GigglesWorth. Somewhere along the way, I turned Mr GigglesWorth into a confederate of sorts, who I believe some took to be an alter-ego (or at least, a more representative form) of myself. Meaning, I used Mr GigglesWorth as a Ventriloquist Doll in many ways. Certainly, in those early days, to call Mr GigglesWorth a con man would have been a bit kind, as he was more like an immoral thief, who required his victims prior approval and consent. And then, I tired of that (as did Mr GigglesWorth) and setting up a sanctuary for discarded teddy bears, plush toys, and the like became his true calling... though, I don't think that ever took off. In a bout of material reduction, I was planning on taking him along on a train trip, only to leave him somewhere along the line. But another agreed to adopt him prior to my departure... though, that's not actually the correct word for allowing a possibly rehabilitated criminal full access to one's home, life, telephone lines, and computer files. Anyway, that's Mr GigglesWorth in very broad strokes. Midway in his career, he became my personal mascot and face to the public, wherein he was the presenter of family gifts and so on. As follows are the labels and graphics I created for this purpose, listed in (a sloppy sort of) time stamp order. The slashed blue circle with red dash (sort of like an upside down Q) is a stylized impressionistic drawings of Mr GigglesWorth. Highly inaccurate. But that is their origination. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # A Few More Words On Individual Files # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Poha Berry: While in Hawaii, I discovered Poha Berry Jam, which as made by some local shop was fantastically delicious... if of unreliable quality: some jars were packed with berries, others were not. They were baby food size containers (maybe a bit bigger) and a good jar would have berries all the way to the bottom, while a bad jar might only contain an inch of berries at the top. It was very important to go through the entire stock. It cost somewhere between $0.50-$1.00/oz but was among the best jam I have ever tasted. NOTE: Versioning and Document Type for many of these have changed. If the graphics seem out of whack (i.e. not aligned properly), they are. I will straighten some of them. But for many of these, I will not, leaving the job to others. After all, there is only so much I will do to prepare an item for burial... er, I mean archiving. In short, these files are dead to me. It is hard to imagine I would load any of these documents rather than simply starting from scratch... and changing The Mr GigglesWorth Logo to boot... perhaps, even his name, at this point. Choco & Fruits: It would be my preference to only post the raw .odf file. But the computer programs I run no longer renders the graphics correctly. So, best to include a finished PDF (whenever possible or appropriate), as well. Eh, I may have lost some design criteria (fonts, I think, mainly) in the first few. But these templates are not that important. And besides, it's all highly repetitive. GW - Snail Corral Coupons: Have I mentioned this previously? These documents were created with The Open Office Toolset. But now, I use The LibreOffice Toolset. There are differences. And since I have no current need, I shall leave the reformatting to another. I would prefer to post all of these files raw and unedited, but the original version of some of these files (such as this one: i.e. gw_coupon_snails.odf) contain information which needed to be redacted. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # There was a toy. I created a personality for the toy. The name of this personality is Mr GigglesWorth. Mr GigglesWorth is not the name of the original toy. Mr GigglesWorth is a name of my choosing, based upon a personality of my creation, having nothing (absolutely nothing) to do with the pre-packaged toy. Graphics as posted are a reflection of (and based upon) Mr GigglesWorth's Personality, which is my creation; and therefore, are owned completely by me.
