What would you get me if you knew me well enough to get me something, and even so all you knew about me was what you have learned about me here on Hatrack?
And who else do you know can put the word "me" in a sentence five times?

A Mike Huckabee bumper sticker?
Posted by Reshpeckobiggle (Member # 8947) on :
Not a big fan of his, actually. I liked Romney. I feel stuck with McCain.
Posted by Tara (Member # 10030) on :
A lot of people could, sadly.

A Dir en grey cd. Because Dir en grey is AWESOME.
But it would have to be a copy of one with their best songs as i have no money right now. And perhaps some sort of conservative book.

We share the same age for exactly 2 days
I would get you tickets to Prince Caspian.

I did the same thing two days ago. I got myself shoes. I'm hoping to find a cheap copy of Dance Dance Revolution to go with them.

I would get you a copy of "Origin of Species". I always try to get practical gifts that enhance the life of the receiver. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
In all seriousness, I would probably get you a MagLite.

A cookie.

I love MagLites. The 3-foot one full of D batteries is blindingly bright and doubles as a bludgeoning weapon.

I can't think of a civil way to answer the original question, but happy birthday nonetheless!
(I was 27 once -- meh.)
Posted by Reshpeckobiggle (Member # 8947) on :
Thanks, JT. Civility would not have been expected, and any sarcastic comment would have been appreciated (thanks sylvrdragon.) Also, thanks Tom. That would be an awesome gift, no matter who gets it.
Best gift comes from Pegasus, though. He obviously has encountered me in threads other than those political/ideological in nature, and knows that there are things worth debating, and then there are things worth loving. Honorable mention goes to Synesthesia.
None of you realized you were in a competition, did you?
Posted by Pegasus (Member # 10464) on :
Thanks Resh! May you have many happy returns of the day.

I would get you a platypus.

The platypus is so 2007. Anyone who's been paying attention knows that the echidna is the Monotreme of the Moment.
Looks like someone let their subscription to Prototheria Fancy expire, eh?

These things are mammals that can smell underwate by blowing bubbles and breathing them back in!

I would get you a towel.

Nope. Those are astonishingly cool little beasts, but they aren't monotremes. Nobody gives straight up placental mammals as birthday presents anymore. It's considered terribly guache. Very 20th century.
Posted by Reshpeckobiggle (Member # 8947) on :
Thanks Peg. And and towel would be useful, Jon. I don't know what I'd do with a platypus, but I'm sure I'd figure something out.

An LED or a regular one?
