[Tadao]

[ZeldaQueen]

No idea what I'm getting. I'm probably going to get some sort of DS game (possibly in the Harvest Moon line) and Sarris Candy. No idea what my boyfriend has in mind.

[Aaarg]

What does the octopus look like? I think I would value that more than Home Movies, HEARTLESS BUTTHOLE! Anyway, I love homemade stuff. I got a quilt last year from my then-girlfriend's mom. Good gift.

Also I think I'm getting money from my dad, and my sister told me to choose something so I told her to get me a road atlas.

[Big McLargehuge]

my aunt is flying me out to new york for 10 days. ima stay in a fancy hotel, take a behind-the-scenes tour of the UN and explore the city hard while acting like a high roller. i like xmas even if i don't believe in the baby jesus

;D his name is herman

[Evil Robot]

Im gonna kill all of you for christmas.

[liquidstatik]

..

[Perndog]

Anything I get has to be small enough to fit in my suitcase after it's already full of clothes, or will be left in storage for at least 8 months (and maybe much longer) before I get to use it.

I'm betting on CDs, maybe clothes, and pretty much nothing else.

[Kitsa]

for...uh....Christmas....

I got some cool stuff....hockey pullover (http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3312191&cp=3176478&clickid=body_bestsell_img), special edition St. Patrick's day puck (green rubber) (http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3010876&cp=3233107&clickid=body_bestsell_img), Joey Ramone action figure, Tiddy Bear, some scratch-off lottery tickets (won $3), a Starbucks Tel Aviv sweatshirt (http://www.judaism.com/display.asp?etn=FHAGA), and a popcorn popper, among other things.

I was po' so most of what I gave others was labor-intensive instead of expensive. I had a professional frame-maker make the bf a custom display case for his guitar pick collection, that was my big expenditure.

Edit: the dog made out like a bandit, everyone got her tons of stuff....I think she got more presents than anyone (http://www.moochieandco.com/moochie/product.asp?s_id=0&prod_name=Donut+Toy&pf_id=PAAAIANKHCIBDLEI&dept_id=3056).

[Dimnos]

Dont know what Im getting but... I got my kid a Wii so its like getting a Wii myself. Picked him up Sam and Max season 1 and Da Blob. Oh and Metal Slug 7 for his DS but you know Im going to be playing it. Also got the wife Bob Dylan greatest hits 1-3 off iTunes so its on my iPod now too. :lol Man I love gifts that give back.

[Dimnos]

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u10/bigtimecow/octopusplush.jpg

;D his name is herman

Herman looks like Cthulhu had sex with a pac-man ghost.

[Zhukov]

My girlfriend gave me The Louis Theroux Collection and a set of Matroyshka dolls based on famous Russian leaders of the 20th Century.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/Vincered/DSCF1654.jpg

[Kitsa]

Cool.

I saw a blank, unfinished wood set of dolls at a craft store for $9, and I almost bought them, but I didn't have any good ideas so I didn't.

[bigtimecow]

might i also mention that Herman is made out of a tank top, so much was sacrificed for his being :(

[kahljorn]

so far i got lipstick and earrings and some bath stuff from my wife ;o

[Dimnos]

From your wife?

[glowbelly]

:lol i love how much kahl confuses everyone

i got veganomicon, a lovely charm bracelet handmade by my lindsey-lou, a tee shirt that says "i have a crapload of work to do" on it, a corporate bullshit calendar, and 2 glorious cds full of super tunes from doleland. :posh

[Kitsa]

The bf learned how great remote control helicopters are for scaring the shit out of cats

[Fathom Zero]

I'm hopin' like hell to get money. I haven't worked but 2 days in two months.

[MetalMilitia]

My girlfriend gave me The Louis Theroux Collection

If you like that you should check out his book, The Call of the Weird. It's about him going back to the US and finding how what happened to all the people he met in the first series of Weird Weekends. It's well written and quite funny too.

[ZeldaQueen]

The Tales of Beadle the Bard, Animal Crossing for the DS, Sarris Candy, and earrings from my boyfriend.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Cool.

That's a golden opportunity gone!

And MM, I think I might see if I can get that book.

[bigtimecow]

i had no idea friday the 13th was a series

my parents got me matthew ritchie: more than the eye. amazing book. and now i'm watching season 1 of home movies for the first time ever. it's really hard to watch with all the squiggles :(

[Kitsa]

Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th the series (their italics, not mine) are two very, very, very different things.

I was not a big fan of the latter, apart from the episode where they got the adults trapped in the fantasy playhouse.

[Kitsa]

The King of Kong was funny.

I've got a whole library of "History's Greatest Monsters"-style books, if you ever want ideas for more titles.

[Aaarg]

As assumed!

$500 cash
A US road atlas

[ValientKid]

At around 8:40am I got woken up by my girlfriend in the way I think every man would want to be woken up; then laid in bed watching A Christmas Story while eating a bagel sandwich and sharing a box of assorted dipped strawberries she got from work. Presents won't really be opened till we get to my parents, but I decided to give one of hers this morning, which was a snazzy new digital camera she has been wanting.


Although she said she has something really good for me, I'm not expecting much. The gift stuff is mainly for the younger ones.

[Guitar Woman]

60 bucks
a collared shirt and some gay sweaters
eggnog truffles
beef jerky
brandy

[Guitar Woman]

Zomboid you are the most spoiled bastard ever

[Mockery]

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I got a Buffalo Sabres throwback sweater, some coca-cola pajama pants, a book of free tickle coupons from the girlfriend, a bunch of beer and "Man: The Book" from my roommate, a Venom madball'esque squish toy from my nephew, money and giftcards for applebees. Badass!

[Fathom Zero]

I didn't get anything. Really.

[Guitar Woman]

The best present I got was my 60 bucks and I only get 30 of it since I crashed my car and have to pay for repairs myself

Baby Jesus can fucking lick me

[MetalMilitia]

[Guitar Woman]

A mexican front-ended me with the back of her pickup truck. Can you believe that!

[Esuohlim]

I didn't really get much, but I didn't want much, so whatever.

[Zomboid]

Zomboid you are the most spoiled bastard ever
Yeah, I get spoiled rotten every year. I honestly try to avoid it by only listing a few items when my mom asks for a list every year, but it doesn't make a difference because she just buys stuff that she thinks I'll like (masters of horror season 2).

One of my sisters was a real cunt this morning because I got a lot of smaller, less expensive presents, while she had fewer, very expensive ones. Sat there with this bitchy face and kept making snide comments all fucking morning.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL!

[Geggy]

Cash, $100 gift card to food store, $50 gas card, a bag of hygenie products such as toothpaste, soap, deoderant, etc.

[Zhukov]

I took some of my Christmas bonus and bought a replica Lewis chess set. That's sort of a present.

[moonlightkisu]

Well, I didn't recieve all my gifts yet, but this is what I recieved so far:

$50 cash in cards (total)

[Fathom Zero]

You can use your wacky new avatars in this version!

[MailCall]

Clothes--like undergarments and sweat shirts and such

Various grooming and other devices

DVDs of many, many, many movies

Those expensive candies with the Frenchie-sounding name--Ferrie Roaches or whatever.

[Angryhydralisk]

[glowbelly]

50 bucks - victoria secret
150 bucks - dilliards
necklace
2 bracelets
an awful christmas sweatshirt - why kathy why?
naughty/nice bath products
and i found out that my aunt/uncle are having a new furnace, ac, hot water tank installed in my house and they are converting galvanized pipes to copper and something about new main electric and support poles.
yay.

[Fathom Zero]

$50 + a Wii.

Yeah, I didn't get it either.

[DevilWearsPrada]

I got fallout 3 and a new spoon pipe, too :)

[Colonel Flagg]

Some clothing, a useless book and a weird CD from my nutso mother, and a game for the family from my brother. Not much, but as long as the kids get stuff to open, I'm not too fussed.

[Zomboid]

and i found out that my aunt/uncle are having a new furnace, ac, hot water tank installed in my house and they are converting galvanized pipes to copper and something about new main electric and support poles.
yay.
That's very generous. YOUR FAMILY LOVES YOU!

[MetalMilitia]

Not much. A bit of money which will be spent on my next electricity bill, a couple of books, a CD (Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling which is fantastic) a couple DVDs (Peepshow series 5 and Bill Bailey: Tinsel Worm), a new watch that doesn't have a broken strap and a new Forman grill to replace the disgusting one with no non-stick coating that we currently have.

[Kitsa]

I got a check from my grandparents, which was nice and unexpected considering they're in poor health and have other concerns. I cashed the check and went to the store.

Dogfood, laundry detergent, dish detergent, milk, a tin of beef, a packet of cooked chicken breast and a box of crackers.

Gone.

It was nice to have my groceries paid for anyway.

[Zhukov]

I bought Tinselworm for my girlfriend, and her mother got it for her too. Very annoyed. On a positive note, a friend gave me a very nice fountain pen; it seems Christmas is still going strong for me.

[MetalMilitia]

I saw it live in Bournemouth last year and loved it, IMO it was better than the show they put on the DVD but I can see why they used that one. If you ever get a chance to see him live you should take it. He's brilliant at ad-libbing and interacting with the audience.

[darqmommy]

hey, i got the "Dragon: Naturally Speaking" voice recognition software. for $100, it works really well. i'm impressed. i can use it a lot for my job...

[Tadao]

Are you blind or on your way to being blind? Dragon had high ratings when I worked software retail 10 years ago.

[Sam]

I TURNED DOWN A BOOTY CALL FROM MY EX FOR CHRISTMAS! :lol

I also got:
Burnout Paradise on Xbox 360
Gremlins on DVD
Monster Island a book
Lurker in the Lobby: A Guide to Lovecraftian Cinema a book
Scrabble Upwards boardgame
A new zip-up hoodie
gift-card for Gamestop
Space Ghost christmas ornament
a new digital camera

Sleeeeeeeddddgggggeeeeee Haaaammmmmeeeeerrrrrr!!!!!!!
