So I got an absolutely amazing gift for Arbitrary Day: a Starly plush toy, a plastic banana, G.I. Joe season 1.3 (4 disks of episodes of the animated series and bonus features! :D) and an awesome letter from Starly!

Why is this such an absolutely fantastic gift? Well, little-known secret about me: Starly is by far my favorite gen 4 Pokemon (and a contender for my favorite Pokemon ever). I've had a few Pokemon plushies over the years, most of them gen 3 (hooray for Minun!), but I have yet to get any from the current generation. I'm 99% sure that my match figured out that I'd love Starly from a post in which I commented on my love for Starly.

I'm not sure if there was any X-TREME LOGIC to the banana or the DVDs, but they are both also absolutely awesome! My best guess for the banana is that it's in reference to my usage of "I am a banana." in response to a series of spoon-related posts, but that's just a guess and possibly wrong! The DVDs I have no idea about, but maybe watching them will shed some light on some reference to something I did.

The letter from Starly described how his trainer had him fly my gifts to me but was imprisoned by an evil postman in a box, followed by this gem: "...what? Are you saying I made this up as an excuse for being late? Nonsense! Pork chop sandwiches!"

Thanks, gift-giver! Not sure who you are other than your real name from the return address, but you are a hero! :D
