Don't Make Me Release The Flying Monkeys

Gods dammit, my passport expires on the last day of this year. I must, must, must take care of that ASAP, since I don't want to be without a valid passport (one never knows when an opportunity for travel will pop up). I've had enough of missing my yearly overseas trips because of this crap economy. I will go someplace on my wish list in 2007. But, uh, not if I don't get this renewed.

I don't even know how. I would love to keep the pages in my old passport that have my customs stamps on them. Is that possible?
