So, through a series of deaths and continued inability to produce offspring, I find myself in the unenviable position of being the only one around to buy presents for. Last year was particularly embarrassing in the sheer quantity and quality of gifts I took home, and I fear this year will be a repeat. As much as it distresses me to admit it, I do share similar tastes with many of you. Protests of "please do not buy me anything" will continue to fall on deaf ears. What's everyone requesting for Christmas this year? |

I always ask for stuff from the radio shack, and usually got speaker wire and such....But now that they are closed, This year Im going to ask for the big red "R" sign off the side of the mall. ::) |

Yeah, did the Radio Shack thing once. I believe they had some cold touch soldering iron for $5-10. I asked for two. Got a lecture as I unwrapped them about how nobody needed two soldering irons. |

Unfortunately, I've pretty much alienated nearly all of my gift givers over the past 10 years and the remainder are too young (my kids) or too broke (the only cousin I haven't alienated since I was the only family member to show up at her wedding two states away). The last one I alienated is my brother in law when he purchased me a $50 (!) Gift card to a movie chain that takes about six hours to get to. So I gave it back to him the following year with a gentle explanation that I wasn't about to drive to the other side of the state to redeem said card. I guess he was offended since every year since, he asked to visit only with my spouse and has excluded me from every activity. So I'll be buying my own gifts by pretending my kids picked them out I guess. I ordered an HDCP stripper and and a standalone HDMI recorder from China. Should get here sometime around the new year. I might give my other brother in law a 24 pack of beer so he can give me half to drink at the party. |

$50 gift card you can't use. That's epic. Probably regifted it to you in the first place. |
