Truck Nuts or TruckNutz.  Show some respect for marketing people, young lady.

Do you know what's sick? I'm actually mad I got that wrong.

I have been buying one pair of trucknutz every month for two years, and in another three I am going to expressmail them all to Jason Grote. Nobody tell him.

Maybe you were thinking of a pair of Bike Ballz [tm]? Easy mistake, go easy on yourself.

I bought the Menahan Street Band CD, Ted Leo stuff, and several ABBA tracks from iTunes after hearing them on The Best Show. Also, I have discovered a love for Kashi cereal.

I bought a copy of Clifford for $8 at a used record store.  When I went to the cashier, he said "This JUST arrived like two days ago.  Is it really worth eight bucks?"

I didn't have time to go into the details, but gave him a firm yes.

I would've purchased "More Information Than You Require" eventually, but Hodgman's appearances on the show inspired me buy it promptly.

Three tickets to Watchmen.

Because of the Best Show, I purchased a Wawa franchise in Chadds Ford, PA.

My daughter fell in love with ABBA because of TBS. She was just learning how to sit up when the ABBA Box was in the midst of it's reign on TBS and was into them immediately. She got the Definitive Collection and the DVD for her 2nd birthday, and the book and box set for Christmas. She has looked at the book so many times that pages are falling out and I've had to tape the book back together.

I've wanted it since 2005.
I've heard passing mentions of it by Tom on Best Show owning this and loving it.
Then I heard a deep cut presumably from this box set during the Marathon. My live stream sparkled.
So I saved money, and finally ordered this from the band's website.  Now I have it, and I love it.

I think next you should invest in a computer software that enables you to resize huge images!

I would normally agree with Martin on this point.

But that is the ABBA box. It begs for a photo that is pretty much on scale.

Soak it in, people. That's what it's actually like to have that thing in front of you. You can practically feel the fuzz!
