ok. so, my work 'crew' consists of me, my friends rachel and kevin and billy.
we always go out lunch, hang out here....and, well, create shenanigans in general around here.

so, i want to pick up presents for everyone. small presents. ($10 or less. i know. i sound cheap. but i've only got $42 bucks in my pocket right now.... and don't want to hit the atm until tomorrow....)

anyway. i already know what i'm getting rachel. (and i'm spending more on her anyway.)

what do you suggest i get the fellas? this has to be something fast and easy. $10 (or so) or less.

i was thinking of going to the liquor store and getting a smaller sized bottle of something. but what?
something that's kind of a treat. (i don't mean those little airplane sized bottles, though.)

i'm sure this is possible. isn't it? do you have any suggestions as to what i should get a bottle of? any OTHER suggestions?

pint of jager and 2 redbulls -- if you go the liquor store route.

Sandwich shop gift certs, or maybe some christmas boxers from Old Navy or whatever would work as well.

You've not seen the infomercial? Oh man, this thing can crush cement one minute, make margaritas the next, or perhaps you have some leftover chicken and some cheddar cheese...did I mention it was microwave AND dishwasher safe? Here's Sally to tell you more on this revolutionary invention.

i've seen the commercial.
it's kinda neat.

if i got one as a gift i'd be happy.
but i'd never buy it for myself.
....or for these two fellas.


i'm probably just going to go with liquor.

grey goose, probably.
if the price is right.

Kinda married sounds like "ready to party" to me. 22 is not too young. The setup sounds perfect.

I keep reading your username as "this guy has a rack"

oh my god so 3/5 of my workplace just came back from lunch at 4, visibly wasted. This isn't that out of place, but we've got a holiday party in like an hour. this should get funny.
