Are you serious? You guys would give me presents? Wow. Maybe I should...unless you're just setting me up for a big Sadness.


You know I'd get on board. There's plenty more bourbon out there. (Though maybe it'd be Monopolowa this time - I'm liking that).

It's either really sweet or really creepy.

I know a few columnists who have Wish Lists. And the advice column on Salon Personals guaranteed they'd answer your letter/review your ad if you bought them something. So it worked out nicely for everybody.

This could get out of hand... I have sad visions of cameo appearances in the strip being traded for bottles of Ketel One.

But yeah, you know, I'd buy you something, although I'd probably rather do it anonymously so you didn't know how creepy I was.  And your little dog too.

I'd much rather buy Chris a mug or a CD than buy a tube of Achewood lip balm for myself.

Particularly that mug.  Tea is good and should be enjoyed.  If I thought I could help Chris have tea the way he's helped me have Ray Steak and Diamond Juice, it would be a good day for me.  I just thought a dude who made a cookbook and can go on at length about r i s o t t o would already know all about tea.

Um, yeah... That's usually oolong tea they give you in Chinese restaurants, actually, isn't it? Not green. Maybe it's different on the West coast?

Whoo Molly! Take that all you people sure it was over!


Speaking of nerds... that thing Chris does with having all the same socks so he doesn't have to sort them, my husband does it too.  This reveals a very deep nerdly streak in my opinion.


Uh, I do this too.  I buy tons of the same white or gray atheletic socks so that they are interchangeable.  With dress socks I usually buy very distinctive patterns so they're easy to match up or several pairs of the same patterns.  I learned years ago that numerous pairs of socks that are only a tiny shade different are a huge pain in ass to sort.

When Onstad says he got an airplane-size bottle of Jägermeister, does he mean a tiny little bottle like the ones you get in first class or a bottle the size of an airplane?

Judging from the recent insanity we've seen in the comics, I'll favor the latter.

Unless you want to see an eight page thread fawning over / mocking your taste(s) in consumer goods, I'd advise against it. Yeah, that Best of Ray Stevens DVD was for research purposes only.

Then again, presents from strangers - and it's almost like they took the time to think it out! So.

Back on topic: I am really looking forward to reading about how Pat's trail mix went over. He really feels like he went the extra mile, and he really expects to be recognized for it. This last entry was almost sympathetic, in a sixty-court-ordered-hours-visiting-shut-ins kind of way.

I put together a small list of things I could think of that were also for sale!

Chris Onstad's Back-To-School Supplies, Winter Quarter

It is just a start. Check back often to see lists of things that I sit around and want.

man, if you're going to ask for london calling then you might as well ask for the ultra-hot new version with the pack-in dvd and extra cd of all the practice tapes.

it's worth it just to see guy stevens swinging a ladder at mick jones in the studio.
