December 28, 2003Christmas 2003
Once again, Christmas has come and gone. It was a mellow affair, filled with good food and good loot. My friends and family bought me very appropriate gifts. Looking at the list below, I wonder what a stranger might suppose about me, based solely on my Christmas gifts:
A very nice (read: more than I'd ever spend on my own clothes) sweater and leather jacket
A glass chess set, a la "X-Men"
A 3-D ship puzzle
Pirate-themed Sea Monkeys and a "Kiss me, I'm a pirate!" sticker
A fair number of books, including a book about books
A Starbucks gift card
Three or four free car wash coupons--she's a subtle one, my mom.
A pre-owned N64 game system and "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time"
Three jars of pickled garlic
A cheese grater and colander
Socks and underwear

I went miniature golfing with my girlfriend today. I beat her, just barely, having blown much of my lead at one of those holes that either lets you off under par or smacks you around for seven or eight strokes. Driving into the establishment, I was handed a small advertisement for a magic show with my parking pass and my change.
I took their advice and skipped the magic show.

CommentsOuch! This is right up there with a Tide bus kiosk I once spotted in Burbank that had the old "it's" instead of "its" goof.
Unless "apart of the magic" refers to the old sawing in half trick.
And I won't even get into their mis-use of headline case. If I'd blue-penciled this one, it would have ended up as "Can Anthony Escape? Come Be a Part of the Magic!"
Don't get me started on the exclamation mark. Frankly, I think that this key should be removed from all keyboards everywhere. And, at the very least, the ability to type more than one of them in a row should be disabled. No, really. I mean that!!!
I really, really mean that!!!!

And, despite your Xmas list, your gift to me was still cooler than any of the aforementioned. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
