You Can Find Them on Etsy

My Husband: I got a call from my brother today--

Me: After years of watching you and your brother gifting each other Amazon gift cards back and forth for every birthday, I asked if I could pick the next gift for your brother to...shake things up a bit. And you agreed.

Husband: Right, but--

Me: I knew I needed to pick something that would shock you both out of a decade of nothing beyond every-other-month, strictly-small-talk obligatory phone calls.

Husband: Please stop villain-monologuing for a minute.

Me: I had to find the gift that would force you to start a dialogue.

Husband: That still doesn't explain--

Me: Raccoon toe bones made perfect sense after hours of searching for a gift that would prompt a "Why?" instead of just a "Thanks."

Husband: ...Mark said there were also raccoon teeth.

Me: It sounds like you two had a very interesting conversation!

Husband: I wish you weren't so pleased with yourself right now.

Since Jurassic Park is trending, I might as well mention that the first time I saw the movie, we had won four tickets (via radio call-in) to go see it the day before release in 1993. Now, back then it made you feel a bit privileged, getting to see a movie before it was officially released... so it was a whole event.

All the people who had won tickets (about a hundred of us all together) gathered together in this tiny little screening room at the Tower Theaters in South Hadley, Massachusetts. The screen was small, but that was okay, because none of us was really far away from it... and plus we got free popcorn and soda. Oh, and boxes of Jurassic Park themed "Raptor Bites" candy. That was nice!

Anyway, before the movie started this guy stepped to the front of the room to tell us that we were basically test subjects for the theater's brand new sound system. They had just had it installed, and so far only the people who worked there had experienced it, and it was incredibly deep and rich, to the point where it might even be a bit shocking. We all kinda laughed, then the movie started... and I kid you not, the first big rumble shook the seats so much that some people dropped their popcorn and a few actually stood up. And everyone was looking around like, what the hell? because it sounded like we were literally inside a speaker...

To this day, that is the most immersive movie experience I have ever had. The only other time I went to that theater was when Deadpool came out, and though I will say that the sound system was still as good as the first time, nothing can compare to the feeling I got when my seat shook along with the water in the cup when the T-Rex was drawing near...
