@Tinkerisk:

 

That this Krampus badge looks like an unguided alien from Mars instead of the devil himself. ;-) The pole is ok.👍

 

 

Krampus is too scary for kids. Oh, that's the idea...

Oh, it's a pole! I was wondering why the board had become non-G-rated, but it's just a pole.

 

 

The Festivus pole...

 

Man, some people have dirty minds.

I'm pretty sure my granddad shot a Krampus once. Or at least there was a head of one hanging on the wall of his trophy room... must see if I can find some photos.

Oh — that‘s the reason we have too many bad people in the world! There is no one anymore picking them up at an early stage!

Ah, yeah, it was a Wolpertinger (technically it was an escaped Raurakl from across the border, but that's a technicality).

 

 

A Krampus took my cousin away, got the two mixed up.

That's the reason. NL would get a sale and an opportunity to make commission on overpriced accessories. That of course depends on Geektastic actually buying some accessories though!

Will badge hunters be annoyed if they miss out on the badge?

Friend of mine went badge hunting once, the badges were tearing up his vege garden. He was as bad a shot as he was a speller so he never got any badges.
