First off, if you're in a foul mood or don't want
to hear my ecstatic prattling, please close your
browser now, or proceed to the next thread... I'm
about to start waffling on like a truckload of Eggos.

...................

Still here?  All righty, then.

While I would stop short of calling yesterday the
finest birthday I've ever had, I'll nonetheless
rank it right up there in, say, the top five. 
^__^  Any day spent in reckless pursuit of anime,
naps, multiplayer videogames, mild enebriation,
and caloric excess is a good day in my
book, particularly when that day is spent entirely
in the company of the man I love most in the
world.  *happy*

But I'm not here to talk about what a fun day I
had... I'm here to talk about The
Uberpresent.  Now, my family and friends have
always had a knack for unique and thoughtful gifts
(heck, my folks must keep track of which animal
species I already have skulls of, 'cause they've
never sent a duplicate ^_^), but this one stands
out for sheer, unadultered coolness.

At least, it does if you're as much of a
'mech-obsessed game junkie as I am.  *embarrassed
grin*  I'm so pathetic... but now I'm pathetic AND
neck-deep in hardware!  WAI!!

For the maybe five or six people out there who'll
understand why I'm in seventh heaven right
now... **grin**... please SHOW ME your favorite
mech cel, or if you can't decide on a favorite,
the one you'd most like to hop into and stomp all
over a battlefield!!

*heads off to gleefully peruse user's manual and
figure out what allllllll those buttons do*
