Did your parents not get the maids to check if you already had it?



The Mr Potato Head was from my brother. Since my trip to Florida in 2004 I started buying Mr Potato Head's for whatever reason, such as the Star Wars and Spiderman ones. Having them is an easy route to entertaining your younger cousins who you don't really know all that well.

Not included in the photo is MarioKart Wii, and some clothes (including a Top Gear, Stig T-Shirt. Some say... if he could be bothered, he could crack the DaVinci code in just 49 seconds. )

I thought my favourite gift at the moment deserves a photograph of it's own.



My Hewo ^^

That is my alarm clock from the mid-80's next to it. It doesn't look great but I use it because I have never found a modern alarm clock that equals it in efficiency (although the new bells from the church down the road do the job every Sunday ¬_¬)

I would post pictures of all the money I got but I don't think anybody cares.

I don't think anybody cared to begin with.

By the look of some of your stockings you wouldn't believe there's an economic crisis going on.

Woolies was a life saver for me buying gifts for people.

Today I got a screwdriver gadget with a set of six heads and a built-in L.E.D. torch. Well chuffed.

[Alcar]

Are you sure you didn't steal it from the Dr Who exhibition?

Alcar...

And are you sure your referrencing a screwdriver..?

[OddjobAbe]

Emily got me sax key oil and a Peavey amp for my Epiphone. I don't hate Christmas anymore, it has helped me gain much more than socks this year.

I got Emily perfume and a DVD she wanted. She hasn't watched it yet, and the old cow was pestering me for it all month.

[OANST]

I got some clothes, a dvd and scale that measures my body fat percentage from my step dad. I am strongly considering returning the scale as I don't feel the need for further disappointment in my life.

[Wil]

What did Abbey get?

[OANST]

What did Abbey get?

Lots of Star Wars stuff. Some Pokemon toys. A DS and some games. Some clothes. Other toy things.

[Fuzzle Guy]

[Rex Tirano]

Abbey pwns you.

Your parents probably aren't into video games.

[Leto]

They're into the Devil.

[OANST]

They're into the Devil.

Too bad I repped you recently. That made me laugh.

[Fuzzle Guy]

Heheh.

The only person who ever got a video game for Christmas when I was younger in our house was my Mum, with Abe's Oddysee.

[OANST]

Heheh.

The only person who ever got a video game for Christmas when I was younger in our house was my Mum, with Abe's Oddysee.

Well, I guess they kind of are into video games, then.

I just don't place the stigma on video games that a lot of parents do, I guess. I limit the amount of time that she can play but other than that I have no problem with it.

[Laser]

I got:

Left 4 Dead

Mirror's Edge

New Hoodie

New Gloves

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans

Big box of Biscuits

The Dark Knight and Hancock

Strange thing was...No books

[Fuzzle Guy]

Your parents probably aren't into reading.

[Hazel-Rah]

I don't like to ask my parents for much during Christmas especially this year, but luckily I don't need to I have a big family.

I got...

$100 gift card
Lots of clothes
Panzer Dragoon Orta - Xbox
Sonic Unleashed - PS3
Shenmue II - Dreamcast
Pikmin 2 - Gamecube
25th anniversary Optimus Prime
Dark Knight movie masters Joker
Some DVDs and some books

[Leto]

Shenmue II ftw, but you should've got the Xbox version. just playa hatin on your dreamcast.

[OddjobAbe]

Despite the smoother graphics, and higher number of characters able to appear on screen at once, I enjoyed the Dreamcast version more (but probably just because of the sake of organisation - if I'm buying a series of games, I like to have them on the same system so they're on the same shelf).

I apologise, you weren't talking to me.

[Bullet Magnet]
