A Christmas Gift Hint

Sure, the normal hints like DVD and CD suggestions have already been dropped, and my Liberty Bowl (featuring the only program in the SEC West that's not just dirty, filthy skanks) tickets are supposedly en route, but nothing truly says holiday lovin' like an $800 ham. That's right. An eight. Hundred. Dollar. Ham (more or less, depending on weight). In musical news, you can now mathematically calculate exactly how much of a sellout your favorite band is when you hear them in a commercial (Iggy Pop in the cruise line ads: 111. The Transplants in the shampoo ads: a whopping 201. Band of Horses in the Ford commercial: a staggering 455). And since this post will now double as my normal personal monthly update: I'm loving my new job. The joys of a 37.5 hour work week can't be accurately described here, even though my chances of random encounters with both Big Red and Kige have increased exponentially.
