Gee, you know, I would have thought that moms gave up on smuggling things into prisons for their sons by placing the objects in a bible, isn't that sort of a cliche` at this point?

Pat the Obsessive Winamp Skin Collector's Skin of the Day:

Today's skin is called "CU Amp", short for cunieform...real nice detail and a good amp to "rock out" with. Yes, I realize how lame that was, it's late and I'm tired, anyways, enjoy the skin, here it is - CU Amp.

Say you want to play an old SNES game (or any videogame, for that matter - PC, Gameboy, Playstation 2, etc.) but you've lost the book and have no idea how anything works or what to do?

Today's skin is a really nicely done design that pays tribute to the original Space Oddity, with tight graphics, easy to navigate controls and style to spare...the Major Tom Remix.
