Warning: Some Violence and Much Strong Language.SHE WROTE: Black M&Ms
We're getting letters from bookstores now asking what we want at our booksignings. Bob wants to ask for black M&Ms for those covert ops times when the colored ones would flag our location. The first time we met, he sat so still, I said, "Are you all right? You're not moving." He said, "Movement draws fire."
And still I agreed to collaborate with him.
Do they even MAKE black M&Ms?

Yes, they make black M&M's. I went to M&M's website (www.mms.com)and clicked on their store (far right end of the tool bar). You can order M&M's in 21 colors, and black is one of them.
You can also order them with custom printing. Two lines, eight characters per line. Hmmm.

Nah. The promotional value's gone as soon as someone pops those M&Ms into their mouths.
Funny to consider it for a moment, however. *g*
Herein lies the difference between top-of-the-list authors like you on promotional tours and a struggling low-mid-lister like me.
If a bookseller asks me what I'd like at a booksigning, my answer is, "Readers!"
That's so adorably prima donna. Don't tell Bob I said that, though. ;)
I'll have to get ya black M&Ms. Because there should always be chocolate.
cammo covered cherries ? green & grey frosted Krispy Kreams ? rifle speared brownies ?

ROFL!
They were available limited edition here for awhile.
What I really want, though, is for the dark chocolate ones to come back.
I don't know...those promotional M&Ms aren't a bad idea...although I don't usually need encouragement to eat them!
They even have camo colored ones. Might be fun to special order those for your book signing tour!
Yep, they have them. You wouldn't believe the colors you can get at FAO Schwartz. The FAO in San Francisco closed, but if you can get someone to go to the one in NYC the FAO has them there too. Or, at least they used to!

Tell them you want black ones with Mayer printed on them, and red cherry colored ones with CRusie printed on them.........................and you could give them to readers too...hint hint.. They do all sorts of custom things on the web site...which it emabrasses me to know!

I think Bob says all those dark brooding things because it's sexy. Chicks dig men who draw fire. Chicks also dig M&M's any color.
How's Bob going to eat M&Ms without moving?

They teach stealth in the Green Berets I bet.
You could get black ones with DLD and red ones with 4/4/06 on them. Two talking points taken up with M&M's. Your publicist would be proud.
But make sure to hide the red M&M's from Bob. He might launch a Green Beret attack on them.
Bob is remembering why you will be in bookstores, isn't he. Black M&M's that don't flag your location may kind of defeat the purpose. :-)
I think you should get a mix of black, camo, and gator-green M&Ms. With MOOT RULES on them.
(-: This is too, too funny. I never knew so much about M&Ms! I was going to say they used to sell black and white ones (which I found very morbid), but it sounds like custom-camo would be the way to go. The problem with M&Ms is not the color, but the scent. You got M&Ms on you, women will find you from 50 meters away just following the chocolate fragrance. That candy-shell is not very effective at smothering the smell.
BTW, I was very good in high school at stealth-M&Ming in class. They melt in your mouth, not in your hands (-:.
I got it!! I got it!!

Am now offically having WAY too much fun with M&Ms :)

Here's to Crusie

I keep thinking of a long, reptilian tongue flicking out, lightning-fast...
I'm over-Mooted, I do believe.
Bob eats chocolate.
Bob shops.
Bob writes YEX.
Congratulations, Jenny, for performing the first successful brain transplant. Now I know why Bob has no memory!
