***Official What did you get Thread***

[narzy]

Tell us TELL US! we want to know? was it cool? was it dull? did it come with a bow?

I got a ton of car stuff, one of them car starter things for when you kill your battery, and it has a compressor built in, I got some funky flashlights, scre driver, toolbox, basketball (with a "Micropump" built in) tire gage, telescope (little broken returning it tomarrow for another), slippers (damn nice), around the house pants, boxers (cant live without them), a CD (dont know if I will like it but I'll give it a try), a few tools. overall some good stuff, nothing I expected. its all good tho, I got revenge for no computer stuff, they all got the hottest hot sauce I could find. .

just remember kids the holidays arn't just about presents, their about LOTS of presents .

so what did you get?

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Okay - I need to vent. Last night went to my grandmother's house -

Edit - Keep in mind she is a licensed psychologist....

Wanna know what I got? A physical.

She said that she would pay my insurance deductible to get me a physical.
What kind of *&(@#$*&% present is a physical?

Why didn't she just get me a prostate exam while she was at it? At least there would at least be a one in ten chance that I could enjoy that. j/k

I mean - I'm not thin by any stretch of the imagination. I'm about 6'0" and 250 lbs. She proceeded to pile on me about me weight problem - DURING DINNER. and while we were unwrapping gifts. She told me that men should not have to buy dress shirts at a big and tall, and that I should eat more celery, among other things.

After the lovely Christmas Eve Fat-free, sugar-free abortion of a dinner, she told me and my father (not thin either) that we could not have any cheesecake. My dad stepped up, and voiced his objection, saying that it was Christmas - and that HE BROUGHT THE F*&(*&ING CAKE.... and she then got on her soapbox and started lecturing us about the fat and calories and how she was just doing this to help us.

All the time... There it was... laying there out of reach. Damn near whole chocolate cheescake....

It was hell. I hate her.

Advocate: your grandmother sounds like my mother, although my mother lets me have *some* so-called "bad food" becuase I run and ski a lot so I'm pretty healthy, even though I'm not the healthiest eater.

Tell m e, is your grandmother the type of person who thinks that everyone in th world has the share her opinion, or else they're hypocritical heretics who are too ignorant and lazy to "discover the truth?"

Wow Bob, you had a very similar christmas to me. I got way more then usual this year because this is my last christmas at home and my parents just went all out. I got a new computer desk chair, nintendo gamecube with extra control +Super Smash Bro's+Waverace, $250 in cash, a coupon book full of about 20 coupons worth "A free tank of gas" on my parents.

Great Christmas.

Oh and advocate, your grandma sounds like mine. My cousin got married about 6 months ago, and at the wedding my grandma kept talking about how fat my cousin is (and she's not even fat btw), kept telling her what they did wrong with the reception, blah blah, it was horrible.
