WHAT IS IT?

You ever have one of those times when you get something and haven't got a clue what it is? Yeah, it can be so darn annoying.

I get those times way to often. And it happens over at STINK a lot. Which is where you figure it shouldn't happen at all.

But we got this silly policy where you are suppose to do something nice for each grimefighter's birthday. That is okay, except it ends up with us always being something where they want us to buy the person a present.

Now the problem is even though we are super heroes, we are not rich. Heck, saving the world is tough work, but it sure don't pay squat. We don't even get free discounts either.

Nope, that just don't happen. So we get stuck. We have to make do figuring out a way to be creative on this present thing.

I mean you can only buy so many pencils from the ninety-nine cent store. And then end up trying to call them something else only goes so far too.

So that is when Otis came up with the idea of us shopping at the thrift store. And boy did that help.

They got some real bargains over there. Only problem is that you can't always be sure what you are buying.

The really cheap stuff is generally a part of something else that you haven't got a clue what it is. But it is affordable and that is what counts

I don't know, it just is kind of weird I guess, but it sort of work. Everybody does get something.

The what can be sort of a stretch, but that is okay. We get to give the ones we get for our birthdays to somebody else for Christmas.

Makes it kind of strange for the holidays I guess. And you know that can kind of leave the wrong impression about Santa too.

I mean they aren't a bunch of rocks for being bad, but they sure are weird, like one of his elf's had some brain melt down. We don't put it that way naturally. But you can sort of tell it from the eyes.

Which is all the fun I guess. Until you get home and trying to figure what you are going to do with this thing-a-ma-jig that you can't figure out.

Otis just gives them to the mailman as a Christmas present. So far our mail keeps getting delivered later and later, so I don't think it was quite appreciated.
