And I managed to spill my coffee AGAIN walking back from the kitchen. Just on my hand, so less of a mess but ow. Why are you doing this to me, coffee, I have only treated you with love!

Maybe lids are the revolutionary way forward for you, -t.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I had a lid the first time!

Anyone have suggestions/cool places to look (with a good return policy)? He is more of a nerd than a geek, but almost certainly up on most pop culture references.

I'm listening to a Slate podcast in the background and on comes Kevin Young who I think is a guy I was in high school with and we worked on our big papers together in our A.P. English class. A little checking and sure enough, that's the guy. Cool.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Or maybe socks. Cool socks.

I could get my brother the facsimile of a person made of socks. Maybe it could dust and do the laundry.

I approve of sock-golem gifts, if they do any sort of sock-related cleaning. Matching of socks? Automatically keeping single socks as part of the golden until the other sock is found?
