A mysterious box bearing gifts for us and Reusse

It's never a bad thing to start the day with a free toy.

In a box clearly marked for "Patrick Reusse and Michael Rand" this morning we received two of the four available Saints "Moonwalker" wind-up toys.

Our amusement was only topped by Reusse's confusion.

We kept one and gave one to colleague and friend of RandBall Stensation.

The Saints are giving away the combo Michael Jackson/landing on the moon commemorative gifts on Friday.

If you want one sooner, though, we imagine you should listen to Reusse's radio show tomorrow.
