What is the best present you have ever given?
Submitted by quornflour.
I hate questions that want me to pick out the very best X, or my favorite X, or my least favorite X... how does one quantify these things? Instead, here's a gift that surprised and delighted the recipient.
My friend, let's call him Mr. M, is an interesting character. He ran the MIT blackjack team for years. He's been a professional gambler for much of his life. He's a computer geek, used to run a bed and breakfast, and just generally fits into the quirky genius category. As is to be expected with people like him, he has an interesting history with lots of stories to tell, and stories to be told about him.
One day I was going batshit crazy trying to figure out what to buy him for his birthday, and coming up empty. Then a cosmic ray of inspiration struck my brain, and I decided to make something rather than buying it. The result was this poster.
