Wait... "sauroni"? Was that named after what I think it was named after?

Space Program film gets and potluck lunch/dinner. October Sky, Apollo 13, The Dish.... Maybe even some From the Earth to the Moon.

Actually, that's stilt-dog, with legs six feet long.

I received a kit for making crazy drinking straws. I gave it to my mom to pass along to one of my nephews.

I understand C.S. Lewis's comment to be"Not another elf!"

I, for one, was fascinated by the video. I had the sound off, no I have no idea what the person shooting the video was saying, but I did find it interesting that the dog apparently has no ability to jump or any sense of curiosity. The dogs I have owned would have hopped the line of cans, or would have pawed them over and out of the way. But here? The dog sees the cans an an insurmountable barrier even though it can easily topple them (and does, with its tail).

I received mine and... well... was pretty disappointed. While the royal straight flush belt buckle is nice, it's not something I'd wear and I've no one to give it to. The anticipation was fun, though. Maybe next time.
