as i write this, it's not the 25th yet, but there are other holidays. and some families have traditions where they open a few presents on christmas eve, thus i write it now.

what did you get for [insert gift-giving holiday]? i don't care if you write it all or just what you wanted, what didja git?!

A Wii!

Glee!

A solid gold signet ring with my initials carved into it.

Call of duty 4 and some choclates and a shaver which is annoying since I refuse to shave so its useless.

Sweet dude! I can't wait for Brawl. Looks awsome.

I gots a bajilion million dolla's.

Naw, I got world war Z, some book by terry pratchet where I can't remember the name, and mario party 8 (Or at least I will have it once my sister can find it in a store.

Lucky! I'm jealous!



That is SO cool!

I always open one present on the Eve of Operation Fatman, got a book called the Dark Remains by Mark Anthony, got it from my little cousin, most likely not going to end up reading it because it isn't really my type of fantisy of people going back and forth from the real world to a make believe one.

I got a copy of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' on DVD. It's hard to believe that that movie is as old as I am (I was born in 1975).

Aside from a pair of shit-kicker boots which I shall be receiving on Boxing Day, I have received nothing of note which I did not purchase for myself weeks ago on others' behalf and used.

that's ok verby *pats back* maybe you'll get yourself something next year

and the best so far gifts i'd say was the ring, as it sounds just like something almost anybody'd love to have, but only few can have.

edit: opening mine now...

Christmas, for me, is a time of trying to minimise familial responsibilities and receiving monetary reward.

It's the rest of the year in a single day!

I got...

A rubix cube

A new unbroken MP3 player (which I'm syncronizing now)

12 pounds of Sweedish Fish

GUITAR HERO 3!!!!! WOOOT!

and an animation program


So far this is the best year.

Do you live in Sweden?

Because if you don't, I'd reconsider the value of that gift.

Have you never had Sweedish Fish? It's candy, not fish

I don't live in your cornucopia of candy and fat people.

My nation is among the fattest through sheer dint of effort and not convenience.

It's delicious. Red gummies shaped (Rather poorly) like fish, and they taste great. Bad for your stomach if you eat to many to fast.

EDIT: and you spelled swedish wrong.


Among. Phah. We are not among, we lead you poor saps!

an animation program i'm so jealous >.>
i got a rubix cube too, and i got 1 face i also gotted TLoZ:TP, which was overdue and best of all, CLOTHES! YAY! I HAVE CLOTHES! do you know how little clothes i have? i haven't had anything new for 2 years... i got an awesome t-shirt that says 'so easy a caveman can do it' mwah! perfect!


(along with some other things...)

I say we take a fair stab at it considering our fast food menus are, at best, a third of the size and our variety of fatty snacks is miniscule in comparison.

We make do with very little.

I got a bunch of books, a best buy gift card, a DVD of a japanese TV show, and some chocolate coal.



I also got a Totoro chesire face shirt (Squee)
No matter where you go, the eyes follow..



and a bionicle. I also got a blue case for my macbook.

I live in Finland, so we opened our gifts yesterday(24.12). Got some tea cups, some money to buy the student version of adobe cs3 packet and lots of chocolate...as always

I got my presents yesterday too, but my yesterday was the 25th.

Silly australian, living 13 hours into the future.

You know how all dumbledore wanted for christmas was a pair of socks? I feel like that. Every christmas I get a bazimillion books, then a couple of neato trinkets but nothing really good other than that. I really wish people would get me something else.... Books are rather tiring when they're all you get for christmas.

How's this for a bizzare gift?

My Mother-in-Law gave me a snake. Made out of bottle caps and glass. It's almost as long as I am tall, quite heavy, and sharp in several places. It has two wire antennae coming out of the top of its head.

Cool! It was handmade, so she was definitely trying to get something meaningful to you.

Well, it is flattering that she remembered how fond I am of reptiles.
I just will have to find an appropriate place to um... display him. It's a very strange bit of artwork!

Ah, by the way, Merry Christmas, Grym.

World War Z is a very very good book. You should all read it. Before I open fire.

I got

• God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert
• Halo: Contact Harvestv by Joseph Staten
• The Book by Rick Mercer
• I am America (and so can you!) by Stephen Colbert
• Heroes Season One
• Corner Gas Season Four
• SOCKS!
• Super Mario Galaxy
• $150
• New Gloves and Goggles for skiing
• Pastery Mixer
• Jack Daniel's Chocolates
• Gift certificate for Famous Players
• Mental Floss magazine

A good year and with the money I have enough for a ticket to Vancouvr Island for my reading break so I can pick up the rest of the stuff I wanted namely DVDs and some Trades of Cable and Deadpool.

Jack Daniel's chocolates? *drool*

Another Rye lover? Well I'm going to hope you stay on this forum, not enough people around that like Jack that much, as you can tell Mr. Daniel and I are on a first name basis.

, How can anyone not like JD? I would personally go up to his statue and sacrifice a goat infront of it if it would appease the man

on a not unrelated side note "Hip flask"

Oh jealous, I want one but they are costly and my Camel pak my be less showy but sure gets me drunk faster.

16 double souther comforts in the space of 1 hour :/. I am both happy and spent the last evening before the birth of mithras (whose birthday do YOU celebrate ) literally screaming at the sky.

Apparently new years resolution should be "be less emo" either that or "be MORE emo in a stylish way".

...why does your snake have antennae?

I HAVE NO CLUE!

It's either antennae, or he has two tongues. But considering the placement on the head, and the fact that there's a tiny circle on the end of each wire, they really, really look like antennae!



I'm mostly into Rum and Tequila, but Rye is pretty great too!

I propose a great Snake Hunt, wherein we find a snake with antlers to be my pet!

I shall aid you in this quest!

I will use my new suction cup bow and arrow set to knock him down out of the tree that he surely nests in.

I'm sure I'll be able to hit him. So far today I've managed to kill a bathrobe, the trash can and the closet door.

The only way I could be more pleased with an Antlered Snake would be if, by some small miracle, the mother had to birth it live instead of into an egg.

I figure his Mother was a soda bottle who got knocked up by a snake.

And since we all know soda bottles are mammals... it's possible it was a birthing rather than a hatching.

It just makes sense.

If we succesfully breed it, we could have Antlered Snake Duels.

I totally wish I could draw better. I would make artwork of that!

Soda-cappy snakes with antler-antennas goring one another under my puny Christmas tree.

Antlered Snake
Small Magical Beast
Challenge Rating: 4

It would be a scene worthy of an epic poem.

I couldn't resist taking a picture of him:




BEHOLD!

That is baffling, but the anal bead tail is intriguing.

aliens?


I want a fuzz-wuzzy snake!

I hope your snake is gored to death by my snake.
