Good haul.  Also, I roasted a badass turkey, made a twice-baked potato casserole, and a caesar salad for dinner.  Noms.

What's wrong with Lindt?
Nothing.  I got a quantity of it.  Its just that Lindt is actually edible, whereas most of what Hickory Farms sells is only technically food.
PDH!

I don't get the tea towels either.  You guys slop your tea around a lot?

A tea towel is a special towel for drying tea sets.  There's something different about it as compared to a regular dish towel, but I forget what.

I gave some of the summer sausage to the cat. Brigadefuhrer Drut ate well. Mew.

What's different about it is the cock you need to have in your mouth when you're using it.

Hey, you guys with new Kindles today;  anybody having issues getting to the Kindle store?  We got a Touch for Mom, and it's still having issues with dl'ing books for purchase, even though it's registered properly.  I figure it's their servers, considering how many new accounts got started today...any of you guys have a similar problem today?

You should send your Kindle Fires to me, I'll check them out and see what's wrong.
In the mean time, you can use my Kindle 2. :)

Minus the shit I bought for myself,  I find the 150.00 gift card at Cabelas useful.

Ooh, as long as you are here I also got the book The Battle of the Tanks, Kursk 1943 by Lloyd Clark.  Any opinion?

I always get a locally made Summer Sausage.  Actually, I don't know how far they distribute, just that they make it only about 40 miles away.  "Burger's Smokehouse".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

How are those Kindle Fires, Berkut and Garbon?  Been thinking of buying one for myself for xmas.

Well thus far, I've liked it thought I haven't really thought of myself as a tablet person. Haven't tried to read a book on it yet so can't speak to that. Screen seems pretty responsive to touch. Have had a few times where it got hung up trying to load webpage and had to reload. I do love the size. Small but still large enough not to cause discomfort.
