With Christmas being less than two weeks away, I thought I'd share a Christmas memory from one of my past 30-something Christmases.

[insert cheesy lifetime movie music]

Back in 1987, my favorite gift was Anthrax's "I'm the Man" EP. On cassette. I was so excited, I made everyone listen to it right way. They were less than impressed. That's it, the whole story. Great, eh?

What made me think of that story? I left my iPod at home today and needed a tape to listen to. I dug into my glovebox and found that Anthrax tape. 18 years later. Still kicks ass, even if the tape is a little rough in parts...

Step up sucker, understand. Don't you know? I'm the man.
