Do you even gift, bro?
It's that time of year once again; when door-to-door carollers cause untold suffering and quick clips of 'Aunt Sheila on ice' i.e. 'people falling on their arses' begin to attract millions of hits online. Of course, it's also the season of giving - kind-hearted generosity on a scale that puts even the 'light-sided Scrooge' and his big goosey giveaway to shame. Sadly, some folks are just damned difficult to buy for, and attempting to please any one of these picky particulars can turn even the most well meaning of gifts into an expensive, unwanted dud.

Morph Ball (Metroid)
Before he became the prophet of our order, Fred Vivian Durst was already inspiring the world with one simple message - 'Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.' Just what the 'Infredible D' meant by such a powerful and enigmatic call to arms remains the subject of much scholarly debate, with some even speculating that our divine leader was in the pocket of the sinister rolling pin industry all along. This is a falsehood. Durst is light. Durst is love. We simply must keep on rolling, and rolling, and rolling, and what better what to do so than as a tightly packed sphere of humanity? For your chance to achieve perfect circularity simply roll into one of our local chiropractic chapters today. Harmony is only 25 exceedingly painful procedures away.
