Shitty gifts

There are gifts that you give to others that are really things that you want for yourself. This can either be very good, if you have similar tastes and endeavors to your giftee, or very bad, if your tastes and endeavors diverge.

Then there are gifts which are perfect for your giftee. Either adding to a collection of something, or responding to a known desire. My holiday loot included a wrist cam and a domain.

Adventures in gifting can include finding the perfect gift for that certain someone who has everything (bastards!). And what about returning gifts in exchange for something more desirous? Or gift certificates? Cold and crass or inventive? A veritable quagmire, baby.

I've had my share of shitty gifts over the years. Tom has taken the cake though. His shitty gift is a marvel.

Cacas: The Encyclopedia of Poo. I wish I could share some the sixty eight photographs. From the largest elephant excrement to that of a wee mouse, what most comes to mind is "what was that animal eating?" But, I'll leave it at that.

What have I learned? There are shitty gifts and then there are shitty gifts.
Liz had another thought for my theme song. Stompin' Tom's A Real Canadian Girl.

Judith passed on this eBay beauty: Disney Haunted Mansion 7 RARE transparencies.

Kevin-John has been taunting me with cool little gadgets. I'm going to have to find a way to add this to my wish list.

Yesterday? Beam me up.
