I got a few games, a shaver, an appointment book, and a reading lamp. I'm pretty happy with my gifts, though I won't be able to use a few of 'em until I'm back home, which kinda sucks :p.

Wolfpac 12-25-2006 07:51 AM

I got a T-Shirt but no Socks or Jocks. :fuzsad:

Like most years I got a whole lot of little small stuff mainly because I could never think of anything expensive.

Mojo 12-25-2006 08:02 AM

New red scarf, ski socks for my trip to the french alps, a sheet to cover my raggedy ass couch, new lamps for my bike (I was fed up with being stopped by the police), a new router with some wires for it, and umm... Clog-shaped-flip-flops. Yeah, theyr'e nice and warm.

Statikk HDM 12-25-2006 09:23 AM

Tennis shoes, socks, a pair of pants, a dressier button shirt, a wallet with a hundred dollar bill in, about 50 bucks from relatives, a 40 dollars Christmas bonus. Other money will be arriving from Minnesota from relatives. Not big, but I really needed the ****ing money and new clothes!

Abraham Lure 12-25-2006 11:08 AM

I recieved more than I gave. I am such a selfish pig.

Statikk HDM 12-25-2006 02:01 PM

You know what I give out for Christmas? Nothing. Christmas blows, Christmas Eve is the real money day. Christmas Eve every store is open and I meet relatives...Christmas day I sit around at home with my family, take "power naps", scratch my balls, and bitch that I have to eat grilled cheese sandwhiches again because we haven't went to Aldi's since Thanksgiving.
Christmas afterparty at work, tomorrow. Whoopity do.
I wish I was back in school already.

Assorted Warhammer 40k models.
A small moons' worth of chocolate.

Statikk HDM 12-25-2006 03:24 PM

Beast Wars? What did you get last year, the Starship Troopers and Space Monkeys box sets? I'm not busting your balls, I'd like to know if they exist.:fuzcool:

Havoc 12-25-2006 03:44 PM

I only got two things and didn't give anything.

SeaRex 12-25-2006 03:47 PM

19" Widescreen LCD TV

Zelda: Twilight Princess (GCN)

V for Vendetta (DVD)

My Neighbor Totoro (DVD)

Aqualung by Jethro Tull (CD)

A spiffy pair of pants

A load of candy and other relatively insignificant stuff

Wil 12-25-2006 04:13 PM

Of any interest at all, I received:
  • Six sexy pairs of pants.
  • A sexy dressing gown.
  • Alfalfa seeds, chickpeas, mung beans and aduki beans. Yay for sprouting.
  • Three Dune novels, but not number two. Damnit! I need consecutiveness!

Statikk HDM 12-25-2006 05:47 PM

You mean to tell me you didn't have Aqualung already?
For shame. My God, are you thick as a brick?

Nate 12-25-2006 06:05 PM

I vote that everyone should have to provide photographic evidence of the wonderfullness of their presents. I'm looking at you maxy. :p

You might be a little confused if you went straight from Dune to Children of Dune. Dune Messiah is a much darker book than the first and sets up a series of events that fans of the first book might find disturbing.

Hey man, The Transfandom is highly respectable :p .
And in all seriousness...I can't find the Starship Troopers DVDs anywhere in this backwards country.

- A black shirt and light tie
- A leather briefcase-sort-of-thing (will come in handy 'round exams)

That's all, I think. But there might be some more coming.

Everyone gets these LCD TVs, and I'm stuck with my teeny TV! It's great, it has a built-in video player, how great is that? XD

Nate 12-26-2006 06:33 PM

The prequals were written by Herbert's son and Kevin Anderson for the sole purpose of raping the original books for some cash. And, yes. They were fucking horrible. Goddamn fan fiction.

Bullet Magnet 12-27-2006 01:27 PM

Nothing I asked for. I didn't ask for anything, yet that is precisely what I got. I asked for nothing, yet I did not receive! :p

Books, mainly. Which is fine, I love books. One of which, the Book of General Ignorance, has now empowered me to dispel your beliefs about the world, which, I assure you, are total bull.

So question your basic assumptions. Nearly all are wrong.

EDIT:
ipod shuffle (clearenced)

Oh yeah, i got an ipod shuffle too. :p

Munch's Master 12-29-2006 03:40 AM

I got an awful lot. Being an only child yet having a lot of aunts, uncles, grandparents etc. can be real profitable at birthdays and Christmas:

The next 5 Discworld books from where I'm up to.
An autobiography I've been after for a while
Some comedy-themed book written by Stephen Fry
Lemmings on PS2 (Despite being an old game, it's great fun!)
Fifa 07 on PS2
MK Armageddon on PS2
Little Britain Series 3
The Matrix Complete Collection- Collector's Edition 10 Disc Boxset
Family Guy Season 1 (Been after it for ages but never been able to pick it up)
Only Fools and Horses Series 6
Only Fools and Horses Series 7
Only Fools and Horses- To Hull and Back
Only Fools and Horses- Heroes and Villains
Only Fools and Horses- Strangers on the Shore
The Story of Only Fools and Horses
(Yes I'm a big fan of comedy stuff, but OFAH isn't my favourite comedy, it's just one of the only ones I like which I don't have 99% of on VHS/DVD already)

Plus a couple of kickass metal CDs and a Metallica music DVD, as well as about 80 quid from friends and relatives. There's also stuff I got I can't rmember, a couple of DVDs and another game or 2 I think.

Being an only child rocks.
