The X-Mas Loot Thread

[Captain Cyran]

Those of you who got socks, did you toss them over your shoulder a la "A Christmas Story?" That's what we do in my family!

"A Christmas Story".

BEST. CHRISTMAS MOVIE. EVER.

Don't anyone bother arguing, because you're wrong.

We got that on DVD this X-mas, we also got Willow, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and Transformers: The Movie, all on DVD.

I got the T:tM, gloves, that new RotK game for the PC, still haven't installed it... The Dahakverse trilogy in one big hardcover book. And I'm going to be getting Bun-bun and Kiki enamel pins, a Black Mage T-shirt. AND, my favorite. A sword that will look like Glamdring (Gandalf's sword).

[LT.Hit-Man]

Well I got coach whip, I busted the end off of it, don't ask you don't want to know so I'm going to turn it into a Cat O nine tails, a new cd player to replace the one I had a sweet ass dagger set that will go well with the sword set I got last X-mas a set of winter gloves.

[Darth Gojira]

I've got a Doonesbury collection, a chess set, three action figures, $30 and a year's subscription to "Discover" magazine.

As you get older, you get more stuff? Is that how it goes over there?

Around here, you tend to get less stuff as you grow older. I get less than half now of what I got as a small child, but that's what I ask for.

*Score one for the Gull WINGS!*
erm, I got Chocalate (Deibettic semi-safe variety), and FFX-2, I used they money everyone else gave me to get new shoes, and new parts for my two ton parasite.... (I'm in love with my car,)

[Pu-239]

25$ gift certificate, lots of nice sweaters, and ~30$ in cash (which has been taken by my mother).

Household got 5 disc DVD player (finally- too bad it has region coding limitations, which might annoy family members wanting to watch vietnamese stuff).

[Lagmonster]

I got a PS/2 with a pile of games, an elite wireless keyboard/mouse set, numerous movies/clothes/certificates, and a bunch of other mundane things involving food and books. Oh, and an air hockey table.

[The Cleric]

I got my real present today .

[Dorsk 81]

If you practice the gift-giving tradition, what have you received so far?

For me, I received a collection of shot glasses from my boss on Monday.

Snap! My boss got me shot glasses too and a 2 1/2 pint glass which has been used now...very used...
Apart from that I had a pretty crap haul this year
My mum gave me £100, ok thats cool, it went towards my new PC!
My sister bought me a t-shirt thats like a besquilion sizes too small.
My Nan bought me a lamp which is pretty cool cos I need one.
My Gran and Grandad bought me a wallet and gave me a tenty, which is cool.
But it's that little things that brought me down this year like Aunts and Uncles gave me socks and deodorant and underwear. Disappointing, but I have got my new comp (or will soon) so thats a bonus, even if I did pay for 6/7ths of it.

Are you sure that you can use a wireless keyboard/mouse with a PS/2? The last time I checked, you needed an 80386 or higher to run Windows 95...

Is it not pretty, is not my sister a Goddess in shopper form?

Yes, that's right, I got a gemstone globe - and it's the most beautiful thing this side of.. well, anything. That's lapis, that ocean is.

You wear glasses? I had no idea. I have a major perve for girls in glasses.

You wear glasses? I had no idea. I have a major perve for girls in glasses.

Only during the day, and only because you can't get prisms in contact lenses.

Usually I prefer something a bit more:



*wipes ver drool off my globe*

[Lord Pounder]

I like the idea of thos contact's but i have a phobia about touching my own or anyone elses eyeballs.

[HemlockGrey]

A bunch of things, but my favorite is The Clint Eastwood Man With No Name Giftset!

There are two kinds of people in this world! Those with guns and those who dig! You dig!
