... to my blue world. I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone. Okay that's enough of that

Ribbon story part 37. Some more plain ribbons, ordered in time for laconiv.

• FABU!
• Sign!
• I smell a Euchre!
• Right Bower
• Left Bower
• Nine Offsuit

Dave McCarty, of the Chicago in 2008 Worldcon Bid, ordered a number of ribbons. Some of them were for the bid, others were in-jokes for midwestern fandom. I think. I really don't know what FABU! and Sign! mean, actually. For FABU!, I had RV Awards use their big block letters. All the other ribbons listed here were printed using the usual upper-lower roman.

Helen Montgomery (Dave's honey) ordered I smell a Euchre! ribbons. And Erik V. Olson wanted Right Bower, Left Bower, and Nine Offsuit, which are all euchre references. Euchre is a popular card game played at Chicago conventions such as Windycon and Capricon.
