Help Matt out and get three game-changing bonus points for trivia.

Funko Pops, anyone?

The world will wonder why you didn't choose to add this to the Prize Wall, but I may be adding it to my cart all the same.

Mine's a pair of ridiculous delights. I was gifted each of these separately and intentionally (rather than by randomness) and really, my life is better for it.

Part 1: The "existential crisis duck lamp". I feel you, duck.

Part 2: The tortilla blanket. The world needs to know how soft and wonderful these are. And with a tagline line "become the burrito you always wanted to be" and this absurd photo of a dog wrapped up in one, how can you go wrong?

I ran across the duck lamp yesterday on Amazon and it took every fiber of my being not to get one... but it is sitting in my cart!
