Late Christmas Presents

Wednesday, February 22, 2006

Danger Mouse!A package arrived at my apartment today. It was a box of (late) Christmas presents from my little sister. (She’s not known for promptness.) Each item is fabulous and is listed here in order of fabulousness:

  1. an egg-laying rubber chicken – one of the most amazing gifts I’ve ever received
  2. Danger Mouse Seasons 1 & 2 DVD — The World’s Smallest Secret Agent
  3. Adventure Joe Bender — just plain cool
  4. Nose Pencil Sharpener — extra cool because I’ve been complaining for months that there are no pencil sharpeners in my office
  5. a copy of You’ve Got It Made, Snoopy, by Charles Schulz, 1974 — I love Peanuts.
  6. an assortment of Rocky & Bullwinkle stickers
  7. a Bert Pez dispenser — I really have no idea why my sister sends me a Pez dispenser for every possible holiday, but she always finds interesting ones.
  8. a wee and tiny pack of Bicycle playing cards — very handy!

Today is June 5. That means there are twenty-one days until the 26th. That’s three weeks to you and me. Yes. You know what happened in 1973 + three weeks ago? I knew you did. That’s right. My birthday is approaching. I’m giving you plenty of notice. Buy me a present!

“I know you miss the Wainwrights, Bobby, but they were weak and stupid people - and that’s why we have wolves and other large predators.”

Update: I received an email from Gary Larson’s attorneys requesting very, very strongly that I remove the image. :0(
