I came home from work tonight to find a Big Ass Box[sup]TM[/sup] from [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com). I picked it up and nearly popped a testicle. Inside the box was [The Complete Far Side 1980-1994](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0740721135/qid=1066959822/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/104-9810123-6387126?v=glance&n=507846). This two volume box set weighs in at nearly 20 pounds!

I definitely know what I’m gonna do this weekend!

I too, found the Big Ass BoxTM on my doorstep yesterday.

I can’t believe I bought this thing… it’s the most I’ve ever spent on a book.

Reality will sink in this weekend…
