It's Christmas, and OWI still haven't released OddBox. Massive heartbreak

Whilst Christmahannakwanzakka is a semi-acceptible greeting over the course of the holiday season, it's really not appropriate as a title for a thread that specifically refers to today. I'm with Josh; Chanukah finished last week. And Kwanzaa doesn't start until tomorrow.

So why don't you piss off and worship Ramadan?

How did the jeans fit? The stains should come out quite easily in the wash.

Who says I'm gonna wash them? Your semen does wonders for the skin.

They fit alright. A little baggy, but that should go away after while.

But I know from personal experience it corrodes denim.

I got 160 euros and my parents are going to buy for me a new sweatshirt.

it was a good Christmas, and i hope everyone else had a good one too. been down the pub like i said i would, and i'm extremely fucking hungry now.

Two shirts, one is one size too small, but I really like the design and colors, so hopefully I can get one in a bigger size.

More to come, hopefully.

I feel spoiled when I say this but I got:
A video camera

Safebreaker
That stuff that you put over your bed, blanket and pillow
Aaaaaaaaaand... Caroline by Tim Burton.

I don't think that says what you think it says, on two levels.

District 9, UP, lots of clothes, A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, Two Terminator: Salvation toys, one of which immediately lost an arm out of the box, leaving the other one a bunch of guns:
Oh, and THIS,

That's the thing I wanted more than anything. You notice how the leg isn't attached? The joint for his hip was so stiff that the plastic just bent and tore off. God fucking damn.

And now you've made me morbidly curious...

You might as well tell me, because I can't seem to grasp what I think you're trying to tell me without telling me.

i know what you mean, he did this to me about the 'lesbian cow' thing. i still don't quite get what he meant. :tard:

I've had a pretty much amazing day today.

I got...

A 20 inch wide-screen monitor, which might I add is fucking gorgeous.
A few games, some for the 360, PC, PS1 and GameCube.
I got some sweets, like chocolate, popcorn and some jelly boobs.
Two stress boobs, which are hilarious to mess about with, especially when you chuck them on the floor.
Socks, boxers and Pyjamas.
And some DVDs.
OH YEAH. I also got the Stranger's Wrath soundtrack and the AO Strategy guide, purely for the fact that they are pieces of Oddworld merchandise.

So yeah, I've had a lot of fun. Only problem is deciding what to start doing tomorrow. Merry Christmas guys!

I had a wonderful day. My Mam made us some of her wonderful ciabatta bread with many mushrooms, onions and lots of cheese and tomato sauce.
I gave Emily some perfume and a Madness CD (which we both enjoy - "One Step Beyond" with two Prince Buster covers (the titular "One Step Beyond", and "Madness"), and she got me Zappa's "Freak Out", because my other copy I lent to someone and never got it back, and put a bit of money towards my new tenor sax. My brother, despite the fact that we don't usually buy each other anything, picked up a funny book ("100 Things to Do When You're Dead") for a couple of quid, and also another funny book ("Atheist's Bible"), so in return, I'm going to pay for an extra round at the pub tomorrow. We got my Mam a Wii, as she's been dropping hints that she wants one, and she bought us socks each, and gave champagne truffles for me and my brother to share. I received fifty pounds from a friend in Germany (I have yet to change it into pounds sterling), and so have order a little four-track pocket audio mixer from Amazon.
I'm usually very cynical and maungy about Christmas, but I'm fed up of being a miserable old bastard. As a result, I've really enjoyed myself.

I fixed my Isaac Clarke thing. Now he doesn't suck.

Yay!

Anyway:
Up, District 9, Isaac Clark, the T-1 and T-700 Terminator: Salvation Toys, some Fireball whiskey, The Von Hoffman Bros. Damnest Book of Manliness, The Onion Covers 188-2008, It's a Dirty Job, A plaid shirt, some new jeans, some new black pants, some underwear, some Crocs (uhhh) some chocolate and Twenty Dollars form my Dad.

Oh, and I bought these two:


With a gift card I got from work. That Iron Monger toy is fucking boss. He's bulky and smashy and better than most of my Transformers.

What the hell is a safebreaker?It's Coraline, directed by Henry Selick and based on a book by Neil Gaiman. Tim Burton didn't get his ugly mitts on it at all.

You're getting confused because the marketing for the film trumpetted the connection between Coraline and Nightmare Before Christmas - which was also directed by Selick. Everyone thinks Burton directed Nightmare, but he only produced and came up with the original story.

Yes. I just got the book of Nightmare, as a I said. Tim Burton doesn't have ugly mitts because he's fucking awesome.

Fuck. I hadn't even heard of this. And stupid fucking Wikipedia: I Googled "The Immortals edge chronicles" and in the snippet beneath the link it said "In the Immortals it is revealed that -" well, I won't say it here, but yeah. Fuck Wikipedia.

And a verry mery Christmas to those of you who are still enjoying yesterday.

Wrong, Tim Burton is a heinous smear of feces. Seeing the trailer for Burton+Depp+Elfman's Alice in Wonderland made me proper irl facepalm. God damn.

Holy shit, this Christmas was...Bountiful.

From my Mom, for Dorian and myself:

-A Garmin GPS shit for the car. Woo.
-A wireless printer/scanner/copier/fax. Woo again.
-A bunch of onesies for the fetus.

From Gram-Gram, for us:
-A new down comforter with an insane thread count.
-A new duvet/sham set, also with insane thread count.
-More onesies for the fetus.

For me from Mom:
-Left 4 Dead 2
-R.Crumb's 'Fritz the Cat' Vans slip-ons. Big woo on those.

For Dorian from Mom:
-Black leather cashmere lined gloves.
-Black leather boots
-A really nice parka/jacket thing.

Dorian also got me a 12 month membership tp xbox live. Her parents got us a really nice spice rack and got Dorian a shit ton of maternity clothes. I got Dorian the new Sidekick LX, as she had been rocking the sidekick danger, which is an old dated piece of shit.

I think that's all.

*ahem*

To all the people raising swords and pistols at the mere mention of Tim Burton's name...

A message from Chris:

Hes not that bad. So he's not a groundbreaking genius who makes unforgettably deep characters. Hs stuff is gorgeous, and at the very least it's damn fine fairy-tale style material. He may not generate oscar-winning, mindfucking depth in his films, but they're pretty, fun, and iconic in their own way. Who here can say, all emo hot-topic jizz aside, that they completely hate Edward Scissorhands? Does it deserve an Oscar? Who gives a fuck. It's a beautiful little fairytale with great visuals and awesome music.

I don't mean that in a Michael Bay kind of way. I'm not saying that if it's pretty and colorful it's worth seeing - example: Batman and Robin. That all 'round sucked huge walrus penor. I'm just saying that there's nothing wrong with relying on a visual element as long as it doesn't overtake the story. Edward Scissorhands could have been written as a children's book. All of Burton's movies could, and that's just fine with me. Not all directors can be Stanley Kubrick or the Cohen Brothers. And if that's the only kind of shit you like, then you are a closedminded idiot and need to stop being an elitist cockfuck.

Burton's movies are movies everyone can understand, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for reading. Have a nice day.

i skim read it, and i still hate tim burton (and especially johnny depp. i mean, shit, just from the trailer of the new alice all i saw was him playing jack sparrow in a 'mad hatter' outfit)

no can has approval
