no doubt you're getting that Doctorow Book this week. - ohwtepph, 2007-05-04: 07:35:00

I think the book is for next week and it's a mug this week. If I win, it would be the first thing I've won since that Beatle's album in 7'th grade (which my brother subsequently lost). - purpleartichokes, 2007-05-04: 07:59:00
