: Ok, here's the situation:
: My best friend of about 13 years moved got married and moved to the other side of the continent last summer. At first I wasn't sure what to think since he had stolen her away, but the first time I met him we discovered our mutual love for Kevin Smith movies. Now I love him almost as much as my friend.
: Anyway, I'm going to fly out to visit them again 2 weeks after vulgarthon and need your help making a decision. While I'm there, there will be a birthday party for "husband", as we like to call him. My friend also likes the movies, but is sort of resentful of the way we invariably end up drunk and watching Clerks whenever we're together. She is not an obsessive fan, but likes the flicks.
: So here are my questions:
: 1. Should I:
: A) get them each some sort of askew memorabilia
: B) get one thing for the both of them together
: C) just buy him something, since it is his birthday
: D) get him something VA related and buy her something she might like more
: 2. Should I:
: A) just buy said goods at the stash in January and hope I can get Kevin to sign them (I need nothing signed myself, and I'm thinking that shit bought at the stash is not already signed--please correct me if I'm wrong)
: B) order something right quick from the stash so it's here when we go to jersey and hope I can get the man to personalize it.
: C) just order something from the stash and have it delivered straight to them.
: D) just screw the both of them and use the cash I would have spent on gifts to buy booze at Morgans (this isn't really an option, but for the sake of continuity I needed 4 choices)
:
: Short answer question:
: 3. What should I get them?
:
: Thanks for the help, and if you want to e-mail these to not take up so much board space, that's cool, too.
: XOXO--Courtney
: who wants to bet that my lining up the choices won't matter once this is posted?
