I need to get on to getting the boy a birthday present, and it's the first one, so it has to be good. I need help, please thankyou. His greatest loves in life, in descending order, are: the Red Sox, comics (especially anything Wolverine or Deadpool), archaeology, maps, travelling, ferrets, t-shirts. I'm pretty sure there's some other stuff, but that's the most gift-able, methinks. SO, any ideas?

I have to admit, the first thing that came to mind was "mummified ferret" but that's no so helpful.
Y'all are where? London-ish? so Sox tickets are out. What's your price range, Jars?
Cereal: 9500 hits on Google for mummified ferret, but looks like no m-fer mummies have ever been found. Dammit.

Oh dear sweet lord, if I could get him a mummified ferret, I think I'd be the greatest girlfriend in creation. And he's going home right before his birthday and his sister is taking him to a Red Sox game.
I figure if its a perfect gift, I'll pay up to a hundred and something pounds. But less than that would also be excellent. I'd buy comics, but he's been on a crazy comics-buying stint lately, so he has everything he wants right now. Maybe a Wolverine or Deadpool figure... but I have no idea what ones are good or crap.

Hrm. Signed copies of comics?
Remember, a bunch of little fun stuff can sometimes be more fun/less freaky to guys than one expensive prezzie.

Heh. I was planning on getting him some archaeology boxers as a little thing, but a t-shirt could work too.
Ferret cookie cutter! Eeeee!
Signed comics is good, but he's so particular. Maybe if I could track down some Todd McFarlane stuff...
Lots of little things is pretty much how I see this going. I know its not a competition, but he got me such cool stuff for my birthday, I dont want to look too crap in comparison.

Good lord. I swear I thought it was later...it's not even 9pm! But I have taken so much cold medication, I am quite loopy (sadly, the loopiness only adds to the symptoms, it does not seem to have done much to *relieve* them. Stupid cold. Or allergies. Or asthma. Or whatever it is that is causing me to hack up a lung).
Anyway. LOoOOOOPY. And sleepy. But it's SO EARLY! I suppose I could try being in to work early tomorrow--I do have an 8AM conference call I'v eonly just remembered. But I told them I'd call in from bed. Heh.
Mostly I just don't want to spend tonight like last night--asleep, but having horrible dreams about being unable to get a glass of water (and then of course, woke up realizing it was because I was all stuffed up and breathing through my mouth. Oy)
But I want to stay awake and watch "So you Think You can DANCE!" Because it is trashy trashy fun, and I love the boys. The girls are not inspiring the love for me, but I love THREE of the five boys.

I'm exactly the opposite. I love two of the boys, but four of the girls. They can cut Martha this week, but next week is going to be hell.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Anyway. LOoOOOOPY. And sleepy.
We shall call it 'sloopy'.

Hang on, Sloopy! Hang on!

See, I love Travis and Benji and Ivan all! But Dmitri and the other guy, NSM. The girls...well, I hate Heidi because of her scrunchy face, and I only liked Martha for a moment, when she referred to herself as "diesel" (hee! she does have amazing Tina Turner arms!), but the other three, I like them OK, but I"m not all "Eeee!". The boys, I'm like "EEEE!" Travis was SO CUTE last night! And Ivan is adorable! And so is Benji!

I love Travis and Benji. I like Ivan, but he was kind of weak yesterday. I don't really like Dmitry or Ryan. I love Allison and Donyelle and Heidi (I don't like her face, but her smile is infectious and love the way she can do everything). I like the other one a lot too. I liked Martha early on, but recently her dancing hasn't done much for me.
It is so funny that I am critiquing these dancers, because I think the worst of them is so immensely better than I could ever hope to be.
