The gift of world peace. It was granted to me in lieu of the PS2 I wanted by my fairy godmother. Needless to say I held my breath until she finally relented, and took it back. She gave me a PS2 and I close the curtains and put on headphones a lot when I'm at home.

I don't know man, I mean, it would have been a pretty crappy gift for you personally but I think all the rest of us might have appreciated it if you hadn't taken back world peace.

Hindsight is 20:20. I personally loved that PS2, and what's worth more - world peace or a child's love?

Well I mean I probably would have traded it for a PS2 as well admittedly.
