That Day Again

So there I was, sitting down pecking away at my homework at midnight, when I felt a faint shuffling by my side. Two books had materialized out of thin air.


Curious


"Happy Birthday!" piped a muffled voice from under one of the books.

That's it, I thought. Enough work for today. I've got to take a break. Hey, didn't that sound like Mr. Robo?

"You bet it does, because it *is* Mr. Robo. Ms. Robo is under the other book (which is raised slightly higher off the desk)."

"Excellent. And... uh... what's the meaning of this?"

"Well, seeing as it's your birthday and all that, we got you some stuff after snagging your debit card. No need to thank us. Oh, and a platinum-encrusted hamsterball should be arriving in the mail soon. Just drop it off outside my cage, thanks."

"Seems like you've been looking at my Amazon.com books-that-can't-be-found-in-local-public-libraries wishlist."

"Yeah, yeah. Class: A Guide Through The American Status System and Muscle: Confessions By An Unlikely Bodybuilder, a father-son one-two by Paul and Samuel Fussell respectively. We got it. Used but in great condition, all the way from Indiana and Ohio. And then vPOST-ed here."

"Hey, how did you two know that I like (reasonably-)used books? Always thought they had character; any scribblings in the margins are often worth a look, especially for textbooks - never understood why they depreciate in value so quickly."

"Oh, they were cheape... I mean, we knew that all along."

"Hey, thanks! And what's this?"


Didn't quite fit right


"Mr. Ham here. Greetings and a happy birthday to you, human! Didn't think I would forget, right?"

"Actually, yes."

"Dang, you got me. All right, I had ordered a customized replica Extreme Hamster Wrestling Thimbleweight Championship Belt on eBay, but it ended up a little too big for me. Not quite my taste either, come to think of it. So I thought it might suit you."

"Gee, thanks."

"See, the hands actually *move*! Isn't that, like, darn cool?"

"Erm, hi. Little help lifting the books here? I think we're stuck."

Oh wells. Happy 27th Birthday to myself. Uncle liao.
