Not Too Early To Start Shopping

I know everyone has been having the same anxieties lately. The economy is in shambles, gas prices are skyrocketing, and, weighing heaviest on everyone's minds, Sean's 30th birthday is only two months away - what on Earth does he want for a present? Fortunately, I want lots of things, and on top of that I just love presents, so anything you wrap and slap a bow on will delight me, I'm sure. But just in case you are completely stumped, I have compiled a wish list. Here it is, thirty things I would like for my birthday, in order of attainability from easily acquired to nearly Herculean labor.
  1. sausages (chicken apple or pork andouille)
  2. a mix cd
  3. socks, silly or straight
  4. Old Rasputin Imperial Stout
  5. Trapper Keeper
  6. gift card to Chipotle
  7. a picture of me, drawn by you
  8. Dogfish Head Red & White
  9. pair of sunglasses
  10. a tie clip
  11. pants, preferably plaid, checkered or bell bottomed
  12. a night out at Duke Of Perth
  13. a pipe
  14. Tom Waits' Rain Dogs on vinyl
  15. a sportcoat (green, brown corduroy, or tweed)
  16. Talisker 10-Year
  17. a porkpie hat
  18. Laphroaig 10-Year Cask Strength
  19. Special Topics In Calamity Physics, Marisha Pessl (1st Edition)
  20. Davidoff Aniversario #2 cigars
  21. ostrich leather watch band
  22. Suntory Yamazaki 18-Year Single-Malt
  23. Pnin, Vladimir Nabokov (1st Edition)
  24. Johnny Walker Blue Label
  25. Jack Stack Barbecue
  26. Three Floyds Dark Lord
  27. iPhone
  28. George T. Stagg bourbon
  29. Toyota Prius
  30. my old cat Pirate Cat
That should be enough to get everyone started. Good luck!

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but *I* have a Prius! It has about 70,000 miles, a few dents here and there, and I'm willing to give it to you in exchange for...hmm... I'll have to think about it, but I'm sure we could figure something out.
