January 27: Beat Generation Book & Backstreet Boys Buttons

Given to Joe from Nancy.

Amazon.com sales rank of book: #742,738
Amazon.com sales rank of buttons: #6,982,778 (this is an insult)

These two gifts taken together are like a tuxedo t-shirt. As the line goes in Talledega Nights, "It says like I want to be formal, but I'm also here to party, too." By possessing this book and buttons, you're acting highbrow, but also telling the world that you have a sensitive and fun side, too. I think it's perfect. Or maybe as Joe repeated about six times when opening his gift, "This is interesting."

Joe
-Profession: Food Service Management

-Favorite planet: Never thought about it. Pluto! And I want it re-commissioned as a planet!

-Do you laugh hysterically when ordering a 'cup of Joe'?: No, I never say that. And no one says it around me either. I don't know why they call coffee 'Joe' anyway. But we do have a bunch of jokes around here about 'Sloppy Joe's'. I want to change it to 'Sloppy Dan's' or 'Sloppy Pete's'.

-Tell me a gourmet dish you could make with marshmallow Peeps?: Rice Krispie Peeps.
