Of course, this means either that I'm going to get you a cheap wedding present or that you should set aside time now to put your new small appliance together before you plan to use it ;o) ("No officer, I'm not trying to cheat the system - I _swear_ that my friends wedding registry specifically asked for 'pieces of a blender'.")
