rolled up pieces of sandwich meat, preferably hard salami

Not now, but I was once given a .410 shotgun for Christmas that got reabsorbed when my mom broke up with that guy. This all sounds much seedier than it was, by the way.

Triple grande hazelnut nonfat cappuccino. It is what Elvis would order at the Starbucks in Tommy Lee's house.
