To be once again able to go 3 or 4 times an hour.

Those days are over now, though. So I settled for ordering a pair of Hunting knives for myself.

"Life is wonderful I couldn't possible ask for more"

Puh-lease.

I'm asking for a Kindle. :)

VT win over Michigan

(I don't really expect any physical xmas gifts any given year... My family doesn't do them and my friends tend to just run a secret santa or something).

You do realize that in order for that to happen, santa would have to kill the entire Michigan football team?

I've wanted two things for x-mas ever. The original NES which I got when I was 8, and the gamecube which I got when I was 19 (and wasn't worth it).

There's very little I want and would bother asking others to get me. I'm flying home, so anything I get has to get through security or be mailed to myself. So my list is currently mostly blu-rays, and that's just to give people something to look for. Truthfully I don't watch many movies and I stream most TV shows, so having a physical disc is silly. I also already own most of the games I want right now, and don't have much reason to have more. I go out to eat with folks a lot, so gift cards are the most useful... but people say that's not a REAL gift. FUCK YOU... that's what I want!

I want a hat, one that covers my ears so that when it's cold and windy, I'm not cold. Ideally it would be bright orange, since orange is the best color.

Not a damned thing. I'm not a fan of the whole, "Buy, buy, buy" at Christmas. I generally just buy whatever I want/need through out the year, so at Christmas, I usually don't want/need anything.
My 13-14 year old Sony Trinitron CRT monitor is finally starting to go, so I bought an LCD monitor a week or so ago.
When it arrived, my wife informed me that I could take it out to test it, (in case I needed to RMA it) but then it had to be boxed back up so she could put it under the tree. (unless the CRT completely dies before then) <shrug> I don't really care. I didn't WANT to replace the CRT anyway...but, when it's time, it's time.
It makes her feel good having something to put under the tree...

I want Tebow and the Broncos to wrap up the AFC West.

Half a day off. I'd like for someone else to do the dishes from our big Christmas gathering at our house (and I cook way too much.) And, I'd like for someone to just volunteer to go out to the barn and do all my evening chores out there that night.

find a hobo, feed him, let him sleep in the barn, provided he does the chores?

I nominate the son in the converted garage. Anyone else with me?

Wow, for a bunch of avowed Atheists, ATOT certainly puts a lot of thought into Christmas. (The celebration of the birth of Jesus).
:rolleyes:

I be trollin', they be hatin'.

Nothing, as usual. I just buy what I want and I hate getting gifts.
