It&#8217;s a book and record of <em>The Story of Snoopy and the Red Baron<\/em>&#8230; but apparently with a license just for the song, it&#8217;s not a Peanuts item, so no dog in the dogfight&#8230; even though Snoopy is specifically described in the Royal Guardsman song (which is actually titled &#8220;Snoopy <em>vs.<\/em> the Red Baron&#8221;). And now that I let it get away, I suddenly want it more than ever! Does anybody have this? Is it all the amazing wrongness that I imagine?<\/p>\n<p>And while I&#8217;m speaking about things one hasn&#8217;t gotten&#8230; have you gotten all your Christmas shopping done? Well, if you want something shipped from Amazon to get there before Christmas, you&#8217;ve missed the boat. But that doesn&#8217;t mean that you don&#8217;t have options. There&#8217;s gift cards, of course, deliverable via email. But I think a better option is to <em>preorder<\/em> something for someone. Just as an example: I think that my former-NASCAR-racing brother and his wife would really like the movie <em>Hit And Run<\/em>, so I preordered<a href=\"http:\/\/AAUGH.com\/to.htm?B009EU6T16\"> a Blu-ray combo pack of it<\/a> for them. So now, they get a note describing what they&#8217;re getting, and when the film is released in January, they get the gift itself&#8230;. and it feels like they&#8217;re getting a gift twice, a gift-giving win! So you could preorder someone the <a href=\"http:\/\/AAUGH.com\/to.htm?1608862992\">second collection of Peanuts comic books<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/AAUGH.com\/to.htm?1606996347\">the next volume of <em>The Complete Peanuts<\/em><\/a>, or even something non-Peanuts like <a href=\"http:\/\/AAUGH.com\/to.htm?B0092QHXZS\">the first season of Aaron Sorkin&#8217;s new show <em>Newsroom<\/em><\/a>, and double-spread the joy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just got outbid on this: Look at that!
