Brag about Christmas Booty Here

[Prox]

Ok now that Christmas is over it is now time to Brag about those things that you got that you really wanted, or if you want you could tell us about those gifts where you just smiled, nodded, and said thanks (and thought to your self this ones goin back).

For me I Finaly got a Palm Pilot. I am very pleased with it, and I have hardly stopped playing with it since I got the thing. I also got an Optical Mouse, and a Few other goodies. And for once I didnt get one of those goin back gifts. It was a great christmas as far as presents go. :D

[jadedskies]

I got a new, ergonomic keyboard, and enough dough to buy a CD burner. It gets delivered tommorrow. I've already got the first five CDs I'll burn worked out.

Hell no! That Oreo set is *MINE*! I'm sure you don't eat Oreos for dinner. And you prolly didn't get them for Christmas like I did, either. Therefore, my obsession with them is greater than your's, so I get to keep them :)

::mth is in a goofy, goofy mood right now::

- Little rings to put on wine glasses so people can tell whose is whose

Just wait til you get a bunch of half-drunk people squinting at rings on their glasses to see which belongs to who. Of course, your guests prolly won't be as lightweight as I am..I was half drunk off one glass over T-Day. (Yeah, with my family present..it was pretty damn funny.)

I would have expected JH or Spidey to get this stuff, but not necessarily you...

:rotflmao:

[Alyth]

:lol: Actually, I've already gotten some use out of the fart machine!

...and it's amazing how much amusement one can get from squeezing a cow just to make it poop! <---ok I need a better hobby but at least I'm enjoying my gifts ;D

[JHowse]

And when you're tired of the pooping cow, wouldn't make a great gift at next year's white elephant exchange? ;) :D

Too funny, Lys. :lol:

[SwissSmiss]
