#12: Philadelphia-Themed and Strangely Prophetic Rocky VI Parody

They're in the mail. Not all of them, but most of them. This weekend was Christmas Card Weekend. I made, printed, wrote, sealed and sent out the majority of my cards from Friday night until Sunday morning.

I've been sending out an annual Holiday Greeting Card since my first year of medical school, in 1996. This latest one (2007) is not my favorite one, but it's also not the worst either. To commemorate the past 12 years of Nate's Holiday Greeting Cards (and also because I feel like I haven't had as much interesting to blog about recently), I'm going to count them down, from worst to best. Anybody with any opinions, you can let me know--I have an idea about which ones are the top 3, but my mind could be changed.

So, without further ado, the WORST Nate-sponsored Christmas card, #12, is from 2003, my Philadelphia-themed "Rocky VI" parody which coincides with my moving to Philly to start my internal medicine internship at Penn. The funniest thing about the card, in my opinion, is that about 3 years AFTER I made the card, a Rocky VI with a comically old Rocky Balboa WAS actually made in real life. What I don't like about the card: not very professional-looking. The paper quality was kind of crappy, and my Photoshop efforts were pretty feeble.

Stay tuned for #11, coming soon!
