I realized that I am not very communicative about things I enjoy, gifts I would like. If someone wanted to get me something, how would they know what I like? This, hopefully, will help solve that problem. Oh, if you decide on one, lemme know so I can take it off this page. Plus, since I don't celebrate a certain religious holiday at the same time of year, you can get it any time after the 26th and give it to me all the way until January 20th! Fancy, huh?

Cold, hard cash
Denomination does not matter. Five bucks, five hundred bucks -- nothing really says "I love you" like filthy lucre. I love getting thoughtful gifts, I really do. But real life happens, every single day, and cash is flexible and always useful, whereas even the really great gifts I've gotten in the past have specific uses for specific times. Before you even think about any other gift, think about cash. You can use your credit card, click the button there, and give me money right now, it's just that easy.
NOTE: Really, cash is the gift I prefer, the most important gift on the list ...

Neuros MPEG4 Recorder 2
The "digital VCR for the 21st century," this is basically a device that could give me complete control over all video. Which, given my eternal challenges with video (I'm really much more of an audio guy) would make me not unlike a god amongst men. Plus it's teensy! Who doesn't love that?
Price: $149.99

gift Gibbs Aquada
Allegedly, the rebel billionaire Sir Richard Branson commissioned this British company with making the Aquada, a car that can turn into a boat on command. It goes up to 100 MPH on land and 30 MPH on water. It's also a convertible. Now when it first came out, it was $230,000, which was way too much. But now the price has been cut in half, so now it's completely reasonable for you (specifically) to buy me one, and make me love you forever. You know I can't swim, so this would be your way of making sure I never have to.
Price: $115,000.00

Apple Powerbook
Okay, it's thirty four hundred bucks. I had to give it a shot. No harm in asking.
Price: $3,427.00, ask Hannibal for specs

PalmOne Treo 600 (for TMobile)
The latest iteration of SmartPhone doesn't work with TMobile, which is the service provider I like (and not just because the Catherine Zeta-Jones-led commercials are funny -- I learned that lesson with "Poser Mobile"). Unfortunately, you can't buy 'em new at retail anymore, so it'd have to come from eBay or a second party, probably used. Which is okay. I just want one. As long as the SIM cards match up, it'll work out.

Customized Grizzlies Jersey
Two years ago, the first pro team ever to be in Memphis (no I don't count that USFL mockery) revamped their uniforms, and now look a lot better. The only problem is I have an old custom Memphis jersey. I now need a new one. Thank you! >8^)
Price: $49.99 Size: XL, Name: "Tabu" Number: 73

Customized Titans Jersey
Yes, I already have a Titans jersey. But the name on the back ("H-Teezy") doesn't match the others. So I'm a moron, my bad. I'd like one with "Tabu" on it, but if I don't get one, I'll buy it myself sooner or later. If only they had the red alternate road jersey ...
