Mt Fuji Fun Hour

So I’m poor. But in finding the gifts for the four people on earth I can afford to be magnanimous toward I found bizarre little gifts that’d be perfect for ALL OF YOU. So in a new Christmas tradition for the new economy I’m going to tell you all what you should buy with your gift cards and money from your grandfather and store credit you get for a sweater nobody on earth should ever own.
Haim-  Gloom. It’s a card game where the object is to cause misery. YOU’RE WELCOME.
Chris- Finish Line Welcome Mat. Clearly you know life is a race Chris, but it’s about time you finally declare yourself the winner.
Jane- The Plain Janes. So Marvel did this line of comics FOR GIRLS  (in big capital marketing letters) this year that of course flopped miserably because girls don’t want comics FOR GIRLS they want good comics that talk about something they care about which is hard to find if you don’t care about Batman being awesome. HOWEVER, The Plain Janes manages to be delightful anyway. It’s about a bunch of teen girls that decide to rebel against their community by becoming art terrorists. Also they’re all named Jane
Beller- No Limit Texas Dreidel. I’m not really sure this requires any explanation.
Lucy-  The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need. It’s a career guide that’s also a manga. Bunko isn’t really going to be the best or only career guide you’ll ever buy or anything like that, but it is a career guide you can get to the end of without feeling that overwhelming pressure to OMG NEED JOB RIGHT NOW. And really you deserve to be able to have some fun with this stuff. Also if you don’t even want to think about it at all and find this insulting…Robot booties!
Josie- A people’s history of American Empire. Finishing out the Gallatin Girl comic collection Josie gets her favorite book adapted into a comic book with new explanations and content by Howard Zinn and fun pictures!
Katherine- Super Classy Hard Drive. This thing is snazzy and a great way to carry your projects from work to your lappy to Scott’s computer to your secret underground command center. Plus it looks kinda like a flask with no top.
Scott- Transit Maps of the World. A book that celebrates one of your personal graphic design fetishes. I mean, that’s what I’d get you. Lord knows you’d probably be satisfied with this.
Luca- Absinthe set. BOOZE! CLASSY BOOZE!
Jill-  Drink punch thing. Okay it’s weird. It’s like an optical illusion thing that lets you drink beer through a straw and have it look like you slammed the straw right through the cap of the bottle with your bestial strength. Somehow the mental image of you drinking all your beers this way from now on just seemed right to me.
Vicki - Sound Ball Portable Speaker. Now when you want to play something for everybody (as you always do) you can.
Daniele- Windrider Bicycle Clips. Just rolling up your pant-legs is for plebeians
Alex-  Tokyo Flash Watch. I’ve often felt you needed some sort of time keeping device but frankly they were all too normal for you. UNTIL NOW.
Suzan- Fluxx. A card game with really simple rules because all the cards change the rules and so it’s like a Calvinball card game and it becomes really difficult to remember what the rules are because they’re changing constantly but that’s actually the challenge of the game and…. Basically it’s the bizarre kind of fun that I have sometimes, look at everyone else in the room to see they aren’t enjoying it the way I am, and then think “if Suzan were here she’d understand.”
Me- Dr. Horrible DVD. No, I’m not going to get over it. Shut up.

EDIT: WOAH! Vicki’s link and Lucy’s Alternate link fucked up for some reason so ummm

Try This one vicki

And Lucy I think the only way to do yours is to spew linux all over everything so
