    I got a cloth map of Arcanum from Vorak, a very special Christmas card, 3 bottles of after-shave (which I don't use) from my friends' kids, 4 bottles of scotch (which I'm not allowed to drink) from the fathers of those kids, and more cakes and cookies than I can stand to eat in a year from my co-workers and tenants.

    My girlfriend gave me Pokemon cards, a puzzle alarm clock, and the Archie Show on DVD.

    I gave her some books and a plank.

    Only acceptable if "plank" is some sort of convoluted reference to wooden board, in which case you gave her the gift of wood. The gift that would keep on giving if only it didn't get spongy and weak against it's will!

    I'd give you a creativity point for that, but I don't do that kinda thing on this forum, and I don't do anything like that anywhere since I lost access to my data.

    Hey Rroyo, here's the part where re-gifting is appreciated. ;)

    There's nothing convoluted about it. It was a plank of wood. I got it at Home Depot for $2.75.

    But yes, the 'I gave her wood for Christmas' joke has been mentioned several times.

    Did your girlfriend sleep with giants before meeting you?

    It’s late, but Merry Christmas all.
    Couldn’t get near the computer for the last few days.
    I got a 360 (finally! :D ) and Halo3, Overlord, Fable 2, Enchanted Arms and Oblivion to go with it. Plus a Kerli CD and the Cowboy Bebop box set. And the assorted clothes and candy that are inevitable.

    I don't care for Halo and Oblivion, but Overlord kicks ass. I wish there were more games like that, playing an evil mastermind is fun.

    When I read this post I only glazed over it (and ignored the breeds of dog). Therefore, I put an "I" between the A and DS. I thought your boyfriend was a dick.

    Yeah. AIDS isn't something I'd want for Christmas, even if it came with Nintendogs.
    I got two pomegranates, chocolate covered altoids, and I'm getting a set of winter tires (with cash I received).

    It was a big plank of morning wood, probably.

    Here in Fuckland Suomi it was both christmas and my birthday. Sorry I'm late, but I had the booze, double the hangover, triple the toilet mess, and half the gifts.
    Fate was doing a tax audit.

    Oi!

    There's very little chance of that happening, anyway. Not unless somebody deliberately transfused it into his bloodstream.

    Glad to know I'mn't the only one who reads QC. ^_^ Rroyo, what kind of aftershave? Is it your classic 'smells like old man &or cheap whiskey' aftershave? If that's the case, do the forum proud, and make yourself a flamethrower with it... or use it as potato cannon fuel, and shoot the house of the people who got you it... that'd teach'em, I think.
