What'd you get for Christmas? Brag away, and Envy at will (",)
« on: December 25, 2004, 02:47:40 am »
Well, nothing to some of you, I'm MORE than positive, but things I specifically wanted

  • My bro-in-laws solving/dealing with a problem that NEEDED fixing
  • All my friends I've enjoyed the holidays with, including all of you guys.
  • Two Packers wins over the ViQueens and a playoff spot
  • 2 years of Maximum PC
  • 3 years of Wood Magazine (I know, I said "wood"!)
  • 2 years @ www.glennbeck.com
  • Seinfeld season 3
  • Approval to buy a MyFi XM reciever when they have one available to buy
  • Starbucks card - you've NO idea how much I loved this one!  Venti White Mocha's get pricey after a bit!  ;D



Now, make with your boast lists....er......gift lists, and HEY, we reserve the right to show utter hatred for how lucky you are - more commonly known as "envy"

Pretty much, since it's just the wife and myself this year, all I got was the complete Indiana Jones trilogy on DVD as well as Classic Metroid for the Gameboy Advance.   

Not a bad deal, really ;D

Got a relly nice mahogany bedside table, some booze, a really groovy t-shirt, a light up PilsnerUrquell (that's beer) sign (which will go above the arcade machine) and a fold out couch/chair thing for my home cinema.

Didn't get the red Ferrari though.  :'(

And 5 seasons of Red Dwarf  :D :D :D :D
Now in a tasty new flavour.

I got "Bored Of The Rings" and "Soddit" - 2 cool parody books to Mr Tolkien's most famous works.  Also got some new shoes, shirts, pants off the wifey.  Oh and did I mention that my cab (Arc-Eden) is virtually complete. 

All in all, a great day so far...it's now just reaching 10:00am here in the UK...must be around 4/5 hours behind in the states?

Merry Christmas one and all  :D

Well, if you look at that 20 year old hooptie in the driveway behind it, you'll see that I had to be good for a LONG time to earn it.  Not sure it was worth it!  ;)

I did pretty good this year.  My wife got me a PS2 (the first console I have owned since Pong, no joke), a drill press, a bunch of DVDs (both XMen, the Hulk, Spidey 2, Godzilla box set), the new Snoop Dogg CD, and some clothes.

 I witnessed the GB/Queens game.  Then had to crutch around for 45 minutes to try and get onto a overly crowded light rail train.  My "good" leg still burns from all the crutching.  But it was sooo worth it.

 200gb hd, 60 gb hd, shirts, wood hangers (it's a quirk of mine), smell stuff (cologne), hiking shoes for when I can walk around again, oversize bath towels (another quirk), "swedish fish" candy (quirk #3, the best candy in the world IMO), and a really nice cashmere coat.  I still have to go to my Parents today.  I know what they got me though because i picked it up.  It's one of those printer/scanner things with a small LCD for printing pics off my ultra modern 1.3 mp digicam. ;)  I'll get a better digicam this spring (hopefully).

... I almost forgot, I got the TRON DVD.  It never went back under the tree though ;)

DVD burner (sony DRU710A)
Ryobi 12 Amp Circular saw
new case for my GBAsp
blinky dice that you tap on the table and they beep a bunch and then display a # 1-6
2 packs of garbage pail kids 3rd series

gifts my GF recieved that I can also use  ;)
5 piece TV tray set
Foot spa
George Foreman 21" gridle
Wacom graphire3 4x5 graphics tablet (isketch)  :P

there's more but nothing that stands out in my mind as of now...
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I didn't get enough time to play with it to decide.   Cool that it came with everything you need to connect.  Car antenna, body antenna  :o, everything. 

Just bought a new photo printer.  OUT on the Myfi for now.

This was a Craftsman year for me.  I got alot of tools I have been needing.  254 piece tool set, 2 ton jack and stands, work light, drill bits.  i can work on my motorcycle and car now without borrowing tools.  Also I got DVD Scene it, V-rod models, marked playing cards, Wild jersey, bar puzzles, and a couple of DVDs.
I have a Radioshack gift card I need to spend :)  Going to be making some guitar effects.

Pretty much, since it's just the wife and myself this year, all I got was the complete Indiana Jones trilogy on DVD as well as Classic Metroid for the Gameboy Advance.

The pick of my prezzies are:
  • "The Story Of Christmas" illustrated with hilarious Lego photographs. I've never seen Lego afterbirth before  :o
  • The MII 10000 mini-itx motherboard. This thing kicks ass. I did a quick Win2000 install and tried out Mame32 .53 and it runs everything at full speed (apart from MK3). Now I've to figure out if I want to put it in a humidore, a toaster or an A-Team lunchbox.
  • Socks and boxers (now I can wear clean underwear EVERY day!)
