Beyond The Book of Lists 2

I was ill last weekend and didn't have the chance to post the rest of boz's latest parcel. He really went all out and The Book of Lists 2 was just the appetizer.

Also included:

1. A trilogy of discount videos - Bubba Ho-Tep, Beyond the Mat, and The New Kids On The Block Hangin' Tough. A little something for everybody. Beyond the Mat puts the other two to shame though.

2. A handmade punk rock CD carrier filled to bursting with a great selection of burned CDs, most notably an entire punk & new wave box set (retail value - $119.00).

3. A great selection of promotional items from local E. Tawas businesses and an E. Tawas community guide. The promotional items are mainly pens and magnets (which I always have a use for).



I'd also like to add that two of the magnets were easily the largest magnets I've ever seen -


E. Tawas magnets with a can of Grapette for scale.

After thumbing through the E. Tawas community guide, I would theorize the local availability of huge magnets has something to do with the good deer hunting around there. Availability of deer meat suggests a lot of large freezers to store it all and that would mean most households probably have a lot of un-decorated freezer space just begging for a hugeass magnet.

4. My very own authentic and soon-to-be-immortal Detweiler Bros. wrestling t-shirt

5. A PERFECT storage container for my eyepatch. I can't imagine this container being used for anything else -


Piracy Accessory.

6. A selection of men's cologne which will be the subject of a future post/taste test.

Danke Boz!

Brickbats

Yesterday I unexpectedly received a 2 CD set of Boz's Brickbats: A Compilation of Humorous, Satirical, and Novelty Songs, Vols. I&II in the mail:



Shaving Cream - Be Nice and Clean...

The gift was unexpected because it was given out as a prize for the winner of Boz's recent "Boz's Choice" contest. I actually achieved the lowest score on that quiz, correctly answering 4 out of 15 questions. My more observant half, Sandralein, won the contest however and secretly arranged to have the CDs sent to me instead of all the way to Germany.

So thank you, Liebling; and thank you, Boz!!

I'm still absorbing the impact of the 55 track collection, but I think the immortal "Shaving Cream" is my favorite. That and Screamin' Jay Hawkin's outstanding "Constipation Blues".

Occupying My Time

Instead of working on my EAD final, I made a CD cover for my Real World...Audio Style! CD this morning.
