Package!
For Christmas my brother gave me, as a gag gift -- it was a gag gift, right? -- a taco kit. A taco kit is basically the short name for a box full of crap - taco shells, seasoning and sauce. (Damn. I really hope it was a gag gift after saying that.)
As for the rest of the extended family, we did a blind gift exchange. We'd each contribute a generic present that cost less than $20 and pick out another from the pile. Not knowing what generic present would fit anyone I settled for a bottle of wine. Now I could have gotten about 6 bottles of my regular stuff (and still have change -- even after tax) but I decided, since it was Christmas and all, to get a real fancy one.
I threw the bottle in the mix hoping everyone else was as thoughtful with their generic contributions. Nope. I pulled out a little ceramic knick-knack house that doubles as a candle holder (you put the candle inside and it looks like someone's home!). My aunt threw that one in with the intention of pulling it out herself.
I left that stuff at my parent's house on purpose. My mom was well aware of that, but this morning I got a package. It contained my discarded gifts, singleton socks (one sock lost its better half my freshman year of highschool, if not earlier), and a box of mints someone gave to her for Christmas.
Now, I know I didn't want the stuff in my house, that's why I left it at her's. I can only assume she sent the stuff to me because she didn't want it in her house either.
My question is, why did she insure the package?

Brian is a puzzle fiend. This weekend, I watched him almost finish a 1,000 piece monstrosity which was allegedly sent in the same package of crap. Also included: a very thuggy thug cap.

The puzzle was a pain in the ass. half of it was all the same color - black. What the hell am I supposed to do with 500 black pieces?
I had to try every single one of the pieces in every space. That took some time, that's fer sure.
