I LOVE that movie. Ugh, now I wanna buy it and OD on it. Not to butt in, but “220, 221, whatever it takes” is my absolute FAVORITEST part of Mr. Mom! I LOVE that movie.

In the movie, he's getting electrical power installed to support an appliance, and the electrician asks if he wants 220 power, and Keaton says "220, 221, whatever it takes," and it's funny because power is either 110 or 220. Ren, yes I know

I never mentioned presents as part of what I was paying forward. I outlined the prizes in my PiF post, and what I was paying forward were comic books. So really what I'm hearing you say is - you want makeup or a stuffed pink teddy bear, and you don't want it in the mail. :) But we'll take care of your present present issue, seeing as how it's Valentine's day and all...

It's about what the other person would want. Did I get you a stuffed pink teddy bear? No... I got you something off your amazon list. Did I get Fab some makeup? No, I got him a t-shirt. Five years is fine. But it better be one hell of a present. I am in town for the next 7 days at least, so you won't have to mail it. Presents aren’t about you.

It was probably a good thing because I don't think it was your color. Either way congrats to the winners. I will have my PIF up by then end of the week as soon as I finish editing the video.
