There are times in your youth when you are more malleable then you ever will be again. Impressionable. Locke's Tabula Rasa. Such was I when I first saw Better off Dead. The madcap sensibility of the film molded my nascent sense of humor. It taught me not language lessons (wise words from a man who knows how to ski), but LIFE lessons. To throw myself down the K-12 of life, one ski or no, and if something got in my way, to turn. Also, that you can use whipped cream cans to get high.

Imagine my joy, the recaptured flame of youth, that sparked in my heart when I unwrapped my superlative Santa's choice of art to share.

But, not content to channel Christmas cheer along only one axis, my Santa went above and beyond. From one gift to three. From amazing movie to amazing game. A perfect addition to any game room (or dungeon), gift number two is a poster depicting the patent for polyhedral dice. Mmmm....schematics.

Finally we have a collection of buttons depicting John Cusek in a variety of roles. Say anything gross you want, point blank, about this sure thing of a gift. My wife certainly looked at me oddly when I squealed over them.

Secret Santa, thank you. I am going to get these pictures framed and smile whenever I look at them. The buttons are hilarious and, while they are sadly most likely destined to live in a junk drawer, I can see myself lugging them from house to house till I die. Enjoy your holiday, and I hope you got as good as you gave!
