"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Hrmm..those seem nice. Do you think they will be good for the noise cancellation part? It doesnt seem like they are active noise cancellers, but maybe thats not necessary for over the ear as much?

I keep a list of shit everyone I buy presents for needs/wants throughout the year. When it comes time to buy shit, I have great lists, and they think I'm the most thoughtful sunuva in the world... When in reality, I'm just organized.

If I remember before my next trip, I'll be buying a pair. I always remember the night before my trips and want to punch myself in the dick. They're kinda made like shit, and the sound quality isn't out of this world, but nothing compares to their noise cancellation.

Ended up going with a tennis bracelet. she liked it. As for the headphones, I couldnt decide which was the bigger ripoff, so I ended up getting something different. Maybe I'll revisit come fathers day if he doesnt buy any of his own. It just seems to me like 300$ is a shitton to be spending on headphones. I'm not really sure whether he was after the noise canceling more, or the good listening experience. Probably the former

Tiffany's necklace went over well. That's all I had to give her though, she had like 7 little things for me. We opened our presents in front of her family, so I kind of felt like a douche when all she had was one tiny box to open. One big present is better than a couple little ones though IMO...hopefully she felt the same way!
