Friday's Feast

Appetizer
How much money do you plan to spend this upcoming holiday season?

My wife and I agreed only to give each other stocking stuffers, so we're mainly buying for BrainyBoy and Tink. Therefore we'll do like we always do - re-max out our credit cards and take out a third mortgage the home...

Soup
What was the last television show you watched, and was it good?

The West Wing: "The Indians in the Lobby"

Salad
If you had to paint the walls of your living room tomorrow, what color would you choose?

Um, off-white.

Main Course
Name something clever or practical you have thought of that should be invented, but hasn't yet.

Someone should invent a truly efficent way of keeping up with and storing all the little tiny accessories that come with toys and action figures. There should be a remote control, with codes assigned to each toy. This remote, when triggered, would immediately home in on each blaster, lightsaber, high-heeled shoe, bullwhip, hairbow, serving trays and teeny-tiny little cans of coke that come with Barbie or Anakin Skywalker, allowing me or my kids to find them all and put them in a nice, convenient plastic bag. In later models, the actual pieces will be magnetically attracted to the remote through an embedded microchip and all come flying through the air to one central location when summoned. This will allow me to walk through my living room without stepping on one of them.

Dessert
List 3 things you would like to receive as gifts this holiday season.

1) A new racquetball racquet (mentioned before in a previous post)

2) A new car stereo/CD Player

3) The 2nd Season of 24, any season of ST:TOS, TNG, DS9 or Voyager, or the 2nd season of Land of the Lost (on DVD)
