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!

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.

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

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 .

I read Messiah i think and didn't enjoy it one tenth as much as the original, i do have children somewhere, never read it though.

The preludes to dune were awful:D

I didn't get much stuff worth listing except Father Ted all 3 series boxset. WOOT

dripik 12-26-2006 06:31 AM

- A black shirt and light tie
- A leather briefcase-sort-of-thing (will come in handy 'round exams)
- A calendar
- A mobile phone holder
- A harmonica
- A new set of headphones (as predicted)

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