Who would like to Christmas shop for my hard cases? Stepfather, age 78, rich enough that he tends to buy himself anything he needs, not very interested in possessions. I usually get him books and socks. Have a book for him. Food? Case 2: Brother, age 32, has young gf (like 23), works in IT, lives alone, another one who spends freely on himself. Don't know much about his tastes. I usually get him basic clothes, but his gf or somebody has got him actually dressing himself recently. Have a book. Budget for each is about $40.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do they drink? My father just suggested I get him a case of beer, so I will! Fancy beer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
flea, does your brother like stupidly awesome geek toys? You might try ThinkGeek.com.

flea, I second the ThinkGeek.com rec - I too have a brother who is almost impossible to buy for so he gets toys from Think Geek usually. This year I found a zombie board game at Archie McPhee for him too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Which one?

Oh, goodness, YAY NILLY AND KHUSBAND! What a lucky little boy, to come into this world, to such a wonderful woman. And although I haven't met him, you chose PiBaby's father so I'm positive that he's just as wonderful as you. Congratulations, to you all. !!!!
There was more - I know there was - but the screen is all blurry.
Just... bless.

Are there local-to-you things your hardcases like, flea? Pralines or such like?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I sure hope my sister lets me go halfsies on some remarkable things she buys while in Thailand. Because I've got no idea as to Xmas gifts, and shopping for her now that she's laid down a noone-knows-me gauntlet is already hard enough.

Fuck, that's what we did last year with New Zealand. Thank god she travels. I'm the worst child ever.
