Go with the 1st by Adams. But the sequel was a better read, IMO.
You guys made out pretty good. I got a Chavscum t-shirt, the novelization of "Chronicles of Riddick" and from my Mom, a sweater that once belonged to my recently deceased Aunt. 'So you can remember her'
Thanks, Mom! Sweet. :shock:

You should hang it up on fishing lines and make it appear "haunted" while making spooky noises somehow.

From my parents, I got a package of underwear, a slide rule, a Pink Lady Wonderwave Fleshlight, a 9.5 oz bottle of ID Glide, a copy of Dawn of War: Winter Assault, a package of Milano cookies and the Office Space Special Edition with Flair DVD.

Nobody else gave me anything.


just joking about the lube and fleshlight btw

-Rice cooker
-Rice spatula (wooden!)
-$10 to McDonald's
-Christmas Dinner (basic Thanksgiving dinner for the rest of y'all)
-Cookies and minty things

What I really wanted, though, was a copy of the book based on this, but oh, well.

Also, my roommate has been conned into getting me Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends. :twisted: Little does she know, I will be moving out soon.

That book looks really intriguing. I think I'll pick up a copy.
(I'd already resolved not to buy any new books until I've finished reading the menacing stack I've already accumulated, but WTF)

Thanks for the tip!

A T-shirt with a stick figure playing computer games and the caption "Not now, I'm busy"
"If the facts are on your side, pound on the facts. If the law is on your side, pound on the law. If neither is on your side, pound on the table."

I went to Baghdad for Christmas and almost got killed. I would have rather gotten some DVDs. All you guys suck!
