My Secret Santa gave me the following ass-kicking gifts for Christmas this year.  I think it’s safe to say that my game of Clue is fancier than yours:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As if that weren’t classy enough, my Secret Santa also gave me a set of Moose Mugs, not unlike those belonging to my hero, Clark W. Griswold.

I just asked my sister for suggestions for Christmas present ideas for our Grandma.  She pointed me to this:

 

 Nothing like saying ” Merry Christmas Grandma!  Congratulations on surving Dubya Dubya 2.” ~CQH

 PS… I will be saying it, as it is now in my Amazon  shopping cart.

Why can’t America round their prices like Europe seems to?  Nobody thinks they’re getting a deal if something is $19.99.  Just make it an even $20.  I don’t want to jingle.

Just got this instant message at work:

“Will you spend some time with me this afternoon to help clear out Todd’s office to make room for the dino?”

UPDATE:

The Dino Has arrived and it is NOT a triceratops.  It is a TYRANNOSAURUS REX.  Wow.

My company is currently working on a project at the Statue of Liberty.  As I passed by his office, I overheard the British president of the company speaking on the phone with a co-worker who was onsite.  The only phrase I caught was “I’m glad I can still hear you from the underskirts of the lady.” ~AKH

Urban Outfitters, I don’t care what you say.  A $68 iPad case and $139 Ray-Bans are NOT stocking stuffers. ~AKH
