My haul so far:

leather jacket with 'Jim Beam' embossed on the lapel (that one was technically 'free' )
bunch of Google Play gift cards
two bottles of Jack Daniels
sparring gear for karate
groupons to both a Nigerian restaurant and a Japanese restaurant in town
new beard/nose/ear trimmer

I found the nose trimmer more interesting. Guess Cal's tired of looking like Sasquatch.

Is this some kind of hair cut?

You're asking the guy with no hair?

[Admiral Yi]

My bad.

A Swiss Army knife made to look like an owl? That's pretty cool.

Yesterday we went to my Grandfather's house for the afternoon and then CB's nephew's place for the evening.  When we got to the nephew's house we found that almost everyone was severely inebriated.  The men in the family had pounded through a couple fifths of whiskey and most of the women weren't too far behind.  There was no point in trying to catch up; we were way too far behind and they were already done.  It was a strange night filled with semi-coherent conversations.

CB's family does flaming shots at the end of the Christmas meal.  We're responsible for bringing the flaming shot supplies.  This year we needed a long stem lighter; we went to a store in Detroit to get it.  The only one available had a leopard print pattern.  It was a pimpin' lighter.
