Partial list, cuz I know I'm gonna forget something:

 

DVDs:

Rocky

Major League 2

Mr. Show ( seasons 1 and 2 )  :headbang

Denis Leary ( No Cure For Cancer and Lock & Load on one DVD )

Bill Hicks ( includes his HBO special, which is CLASSIC in my opinion! )

 

Other stuff:

AM/FM/TV audio Walkman ( I rock the old-school, you kids with your iPod.... )

talking picture frame with my daughter's voice recorded on it

mouse pad with built-in calculator

spindle of 50 blank CD-R's

40 bucks in Best Buy gift cards

 

All in all, a pretty good haul.

When you watch Major League 2, look out for Miller, the Indians 2B. He is a good friend of mine. He shows up more in the widescreen version, getting dropped when reformatted to 4:3.

 

A tidbit.... look closely when the Red Sox (think it was Red Sox) left-handed batter hits the ball that Tanaka robs from being a HR. The hitter is none other than Miller (my friend) in a mustache. They didn't have another left-handed hitter that could swing well enough to hit the ball like they wanted, so they had him switch uniforms, put a mustache on him and let him take a crack at it. They used minor league players in the movie because they wanted more realistic baseball scenes than the original Major League.
