I have a job, but an actual career would be nice.

...or just something more low-key and laid back like Xeogred's job.

Update: Less than 12 hours after the auction ended last night, it's already shipped too -- :)

It happened like this at a better price and with no competition for a reason.

SMILE: My students are funny. We were working on a sheet of brainteasers today and one of the questions was "what word looks the same upside down and backwards?" One of my girls exclaims "poop!" then thinks about it for a sec and says "oh wait, poop upside down is boob." I couldn't contain my laughter.

(by the way, the "official" answer is SWIMS, though "I" certainly works and is what most people seem to come up with)

Not to brag, but now I feel extra special for finding a complete PAL copy in the wild for under $20. :P
