Although not currently recognized by the DSM-IV, a small but well publicized minority suffer as "never nudes". Our sympathies to you and your family.

In retrospect, that was probably fate telling me I didn't want the Middleton book anyway...

3rd, 5th, 11th and 12th today. Timing still a tad off...

Slept in the afternoon so that I could be awake at this time in Japan but couldn't manage it. Will try again today.

It's clearly an unfair advantage for him to be 14 hours ahead of us.

Yes, but I suppose the postage will make it disadvantageous for Richard. I believe this is one of those situations where you just have to live in the US or Europe.

Since Joji is 14 hours ahead, he won today's prize already. Something to do with the International Date Line . . .

So when Richard makes today's announcement, don't bother calling.

I didn't see where he said he would be mailing these out. Maybe the winners have to go to the Genii offices and pick them up. :)

This is a big one: everyone who calls and gets through to 301-652-8035 within a 15 minute period will get a gift. You won't know what you'll get until you receive it in the mail, but it will be either a book, trick, DVD, or VHS. All magic, of course.

The generosity at Genii Headquarters is unbelievable.
