Mercy's Do-It-Yourself Silver Bullet Kit

As some of you may know, we've been pursing the mythical silver bullets Mercy is supposed to have, and having a grand time. Recently, we found something we thought was even more fun. Cases of genuine chocolate bullets, all packaged in a miniature ammunition-box. These are a mix of Belgian and American chocolates, and are really quite tasty. Each box contains 20 chocolate bullets. When we got them I was a little disappointed to discover the bullets are flat on the back, rather than being cast as a complete cylinder -- and they probably don't shoot real well either!

Of course, these aren't silver bullets. If you've read the silver bullet article, you'll know that making your own is no picnic. We've purchased a bunch of bright silver confectioner's foil, if you'd like, we'll include some with your order of chocolate bullets. Then you can painstakingly wrap each individual bullet with the foil to produce your very own silver chocolate bullets. Make sure to ask for the foil if you want us to include it!

DISCLAIMER: Chocolate bullets, even when covered by silver foil are not proven effective against Lycanthropes. Included foil may not be genuine silver, and is not certified as effective for werewolves. Use of this product in functional firearms is strongly discouraged. Chocolate may prove addicting, eat at your own risk.

Embroiderey Pattern

We decided to make a few "Mercy's Garage" jackets with embroidered logos, and they came out beautifully. Unfortunately, they end up costing us about $150.00 each to produce, which makes them too expensive to produce and stock. Since we've had a couple of people ask about them, we've decided to make the embroidery pattern available for download. The pattern is a DST file, which is a widely-used format used by embroidery shops. This design is just over ten inches across, and has about 123,00 stitches, so it requires a fairly stiff shirt or light jacket. It can apparently be re-sized fairly easily by better embroidery stores if you'd like something a bit smaller.

The embroidery file is here: mercy.dst

Apparently the DST format encodes dimension, stitch direction everything that's needed to produce the image, except color. When the image is trasferred onto a new system, random colors will be assigned, which can look pretty startling. The good news is that the embroidery shop just needs to put the correct color of thread for each area. Here's a small JPG that you can use to make sure they get the colors right!
