Since the sons of bitches didn't order enough Dethalbum Deluxe and cancelled my order, I am back up to $20.54 on my gift certificate. I need suggestions what I should buy: candy, electronics, snacks, movies, whatever.

Suggestions with links.

No porn based suggestions.

Just because it's you, I suggest this (http://www.amazon.com/Law-101-Everything-American-System/dp/0195179579/ref=pd_bbs_5/103-2534482-1901430?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191515575&sr=8-5). You sorely need it, and it may do you some good.

Also, Neo Art is welcome to take his elitist asshatism and shove it.

I'm on the job right now, so I won't provide links, but if you like fiction, check out Dan Simmons' novel "The Terror", "World War Z" by Max Brooks, "Lamb" by Christopher Moore, so on, so forth, etc.

Music: "Demon Days" by Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley, Queens of the Stone Age.

I've got LOTS of suggestions, but they may not apply to you, since, well, I don't know anything about you. Good luck!

Next time you want to help, try to do so without being condescending.

gee, now I thought you had me on ignore. Besides, you solicited advice from the community. I gave my advice on something that I think would be a very valuable purchase for you.

$2 = £1, affectively.

I do have you on ignore, and every time I check your posts (such as a in a topic where I would assume you arn't being a smug asshat), you just reinforce my reason for putting you there.

£20 > $20.54. Very much so, in fact.

Without really knowing anything about you, I'd recommend either Spider Baby (http://www.amazon.com/Spider-Baby-Special-Jill-Banner/dp/B000RPCJ9I/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-9900011-3473235?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1191521417&sr=8-1). (Very weird, very obscure. Jill Banner is just awesome as a knife wielding lunatic) or Year Zero (http://www.amazon.com/Year-Zero-Jeff-Long/dp/1416534423/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/105-9900011-3473235?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191522288&sr=8-3) (My favorite Jeff Long novel, but that's probably just because I'm a sucker for apocalypses).

That's pretty damn cool. But I'd stick with the sea monkees because:

a. I'm heavily under the influence

b. I can never get those see monkee's to live so I might as well try another failed attempt.

My favourite book all-time :

http://www.amazon.com/Catch-22-Joseph-Heller/dp/0684833395/ref=pd_bbs_2/105-0792302-3767651?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191575036&sr=8-2

Man was matter, that was Snowden's secret. Drop him out a window and he'll fall. Set fire to him and he'll burn. Bury him and he'll rot, like other kinds of garbage. That was Snowden's secret. Ripeness was all." In other words, Man is no more than meat and bone EXCEPT for a brief period when he is alive...and if he does something to preserve his soul

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

i'd rather help you spend your twenty bux at your local farmer's/flea market or alternative building supply or tecnology fiddly bit store.

e-bigboxes we don't need anymore then we need tangable ones.

and if you want to support real musicians instead of a usurus music industry, for crying out loud, visit your favorite musician's web sites or music festivals they perform at and buy their music off of them directly!

I was gonna make a "Your mum" joke... but then I decided not to act like a four year old.

Instead I will suggest a product you will never buy, simply because I'm so shocked it's on there:

http://www.amazon.com/Lucky-Witness-Explicit/dp/B000S57XJS/ref=sr_1_6/103-4737235-9182203?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1191586143&sr=8-6

Yeah, it's my mate's band's album :D

EDIT: Awww you can't use gift certificates on that. Oh well! Gotta love bad useless suggestions!
