For Ray's 12th birthday, Mandeep, Jim and I chipped in to buy the schmuck a portable MP3/CD player, which he has since used about as many times as there are continents named Australia.

Ray's expression here is a reflection of his approval of the paper in which the gift was wrapped, the latest issue of the Victoria's Secret catalogue. Later, in tears, Ray reversed his stance and accused me of the unacceptable destruction of the world's finest magazine.
