Sam & Max 201: Ice Station Santa
What do a dog, a gun-toting rabbity-thing, and Santa Claus have in common?

$8.95

Sam & Max 201: Ice Station Santa Gift Version
A Christmas gift filled with holiday cheer. And gunshots.

$8.95

Yields 8 to 10 dangerously delicious servings. Best served warm with ~~arsenic~~ margarine.

1/2 cup soft shortening
2 Tbsp sugar
1 egg
1 cup molasses
1 cup boiling water
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon

1. Heat oven to a glowing 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x9-inch pan. Elf tears make a wonderful lubricant, but in their absence, you can substitute butter or margarine.

2. Thoroughly mix shortening, sugar and egg. Blend in molasses and water. Stir together dry ingredients; blend and beat until smooth. (It may help to picture the faces of naughty girls and boys while you're beating.)

3. Pour mixture in pan. Bake about 35 minutes or until the scent of gingerbread has wafted all through the house.

If the spirit of Christmas compels you to try this delicious gingerbread, email us at orderup@telltalegames.com with a picture of yourself and/or your loved ones gobbling it down. Jon Sgro's mother will be thrilled.

Dear Max
Letters from you, answers by Steve Purcell

How can they call a gaming console the Wii? I'm embarrassed to say it out loud. What should I do when I want to talk about it?

-Tim, Melbourne

Dear Road Warrior,

It's embarrassing enough to be caught walking around saying "game console" for whatever bizarre reason. Instead why don't you pepper your conversation with much more appealing phrases like "rattlesnake anti-venom", "hamster costume" or even "sucking chest wound". You'll be better for it.

Best always or at least for right now, MAX

Do you have a question for Max (or Sam)? Send it to dearmax@telltalegames.com, and we'll make sure they get it.

	Oooooooh, gingerbread! The dear Max colum made me laugh. Maybe max should use his predidential powers to rename the Wii? They could call it the Wheeeeeeeeeee! or the Woo. Anything is better than being forced to say "I've got a Wii". Peope might think you need to go to bathroom.

	That recipe for evil gingerbread cookies sounds delicious. But, I'm afraid my family will question my holiday spirit if I make those.
