So, I've got a pretty nuts story that's went down in the last five days, but it doesn't involve the ladies, so it's perhaps misleading to say this is a "Andross Diaries" post, but whatevz.

So, last Thursday, I get a call from my dad, and he says, "So what the hell did you get us from Best Buy? If you spent more than $50 on me and your mother, I'm gonna kick you."

"What?," I say.

"Hahahaha. Good one, I get it, you don't want me to know. What I don't get is why you'd have it sent to yourself here."

"No dad. I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't buy you anything on Best Buy."

"Well, we've got two big boxes here for you, and I don't know what they are."

"What? Open them up."

"Did your credit cards get stolen?"

"I don't think so."

"Damn it, the dog just stepped in shit. Let me call you back in a few minutes."

He calls back and goes, "It's a big camera. Like an expensive one, with a bag and a lens. Who sent that to you?"

"I have no idea. I just checked my accounts, and there are no charges on anything. What are the item numbers?" I look them up, and everything comes to like $880. I'm obviously perplexed as fuck, because I don't know who would buy me an expensive camera. So I call Best Buy customer service, and they're like, "Well, it's not charged to you."

I say, well who was it charged to? 

"Someone in Houston Texas."

"Houston?"

"Yes, it must be your relatives in Houston."

"I don't have any relatives in Houston. I have people in San Antonio, but not Houston. And they wouldn't buy me a $900 camera."

"Let me get my supervisor."

The supervisor comes on and goes, "Well, this is weird, but it seems like this person in Houston sent you a camera. And since it's been paid for and not charged to you, it's yours. Merry Christmas to you."

So, then I start thinking, Who could have sent this to me. I got the person's name from Best Buy, and I don't know them. Then I start thinking it's for work, but that doesn't make any sense, since I haven't lived at home for a year and a half. And like I said, it's not from any of my peoples, so, I guess Merry Christmas to me. 

As you might know, theSchoenrock works at the best buy, so he asks his boss if I can return it, and his Boss says no problemo. So I went today and returned it, and blew like $650 on shit at Best Buy. Got a stereo, some CDs, some DVDs and an iPod Touch. It was like the most money I've ever spent in my entire life at once, so it was awesome.

So the message of this story: Thank you dude in Houston, Texas.  

You lucky bastard!

Did you get me anything?

Andross, 

It's your homie Dabas. When should I be expecting my X-Box 360? You're the best!

BWall: No Idea who sent it. They told me the name, but I don't recognize it, and they don't even appear on Google.

theSchoenrock doesn't mention that I bought his ass some X-Box live points. He was bitching about wanting to download some shit from Beatles Rock Band, so I threw him a bone.

Daba and Al Sauces: I'm down to only 90 clams. You can fight for them. 

BUSTER is at jury duty surfin the forums thats r.0.

As for the actual jury duty.... hahahah sucks to be you kid!
