I got 3 long-sleeved shirts, which is good cause I have absolutely no winter wardrobe to speak of. Now if I can get some new shoes, I'll be gravy. You should see the holes in these fuckers I wear, lol. Never buy shoes from Target. They last like 2 weeks if you're lucky.

[Laroacha]

I sent my other father in-law a big Harry and David holiday gift tower

And my OTHER father in-law a bottle of really nice brandy.

Cant think of stuff other than that at the moment.

We were kinda strapped this xmas so its been a tight one.

We had our first xmas day event today at one of the father inlaws house.
I got some silk thermals (top and bottom), $60 gift card to Best Buy, a good number of cool socks (I love socks) and something else. I'm forgetting.

I know mark bought me some kick boxing videos (since I cant run at the moment) and he got me the 12 lb weights I asked for and some huge excerise ball. Not sure what to do with the excerise ball but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

I also know my mom got mark and I an Alcad griddle which I know mark will be stoked about.

And you got, what...

from her.

[MiddleFinger]

Dude...Christmas hasn't even happened yet. How can you be posting what you've gotten?

Oh well, the only person I bought for this year was my daughter. She's getting a Cozy Country Doll House (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2384872), and a Smart Cycle (http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=10&e=smartcyclelanding)

And, I received money in which I turned into a new monitor (http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_2901_Acer_X223W_22_LCD_Monitor_HDCP_Digital_Blac k). But, I didn't pay that much for it. Circuit City had it on sale for $209.

and I'll tell ya, I went from a 17" flat screen CRT to this monster, and man oh man...I never realized the amount of detail and clarity I was missing by using that dated technology. I've had it since Friday and I'm still in amazement. Someone slap me for waiting so long to upgrade...holy cow!

[Sammie]

we do 3 christmas gatherings.....one yesterday, one tomorrow and one on xmas day so the gifts have already started

congrats on the monitor chris. isnt it great to get that huge cluncky thing off your desk?

I can believe we used to run 4 of those things.

Best Friend - I'm building a Zombie Defense Kit. I'll post pic when it's done.
Pregnant sister in law - a special massage for pregnant women at a day spa.
Brother in law - Nike duffel bag (http://www.nike.com/index.jhtml?l=nikestore,pdp,_pdp,cid-100701/gid-161003/pid-123775&re=US&co=US&la=EN#l=nikestore,grid,_pdp,cid-1/gid-110479/pid-110477,_grid,f-10002+12003+24001&re=US&co=US&la=EN) (he plays a lot of squash)
And then my girlfriend bought shit for her parents, grandparents, her brother and his girlfriend and is putting my name on it so they think it's from me.

I have no idea what I'll be getting (hopefully a Garmin with mounts for motorcycle and a car).

[jordano6]

I don't find out what I get until the 25th

I posted pics of the Zombie defense kit I made HERE (http://www.thegng.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6080)

Also after 8 1/2 years of "putting up with my shit" ( from another thread ) I asked my girlfriend on Christmas morning to be my wife and she said yes. So I am now engaged and pretty fucking happy. Family likes to joke and say it took 8 years to get engaged...is it going to take another 8 before you get married.

[devil_dog]

I don't really do the gift giving thing with my wife or her with me. We do give the kids a great X-mas though. For each other, we just go buy whatever it is we want. That way, no money is wasted on mistakes or gifts that aren't well received.

I've gotten a lot of cool things this year, but on X-mas day I bought myself a new pair of riding boots for my dirt bike hobby.

http://www.motosport.com/offroad/productDetail.php?prodId=484714&nav=&sMMY=HONDA;CRF450R;2008

I paid $415 for these same boots 2 years ago, so I couldn't pass up on this killer deal.

[Laroacha]

Jeez live,,,,,,between the Playboy subscription, the free beer and the glut of video games you received,,,,,,,do you really still need a wife????????

Contrats anyway bro,,,,,,I wish you many happy married years.........

[MiddleFinger]

It's about freaking time L1ve!!!

[Nimmy]

Judging by the timeline is VERY simular to sammie and mark, you'll be shaving your head pretty soon here l1ve.

[L1veUndead]

Im enjoying my hair years before I lose it.

[Nimmy]

I'm already asking for hair for christmas. Please.

[Johnnie Walker]

Congratulations on the engagement Live!! Probably one of the best christmas presents you could get, to be extremely corny about it.

Sounds like you two really know each other with the amount of good shit ya'll got each other!

[Sammie]

congrats craig!! :biggrin:

I'm sure you made her a very happy lady.

Dont forget to invite us to the wedding



This is what I bought for myself since I'm not/ cant run at the moment

http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/productimages/fullsize/L_08DolceSilGrey.JPG

unfortunately the bike mount dented the crap out of the trunk of my new car :(

[Nimmy]

You shoulda bought a VW.

And congrads l1ve. As sammie said, she's probably a happy lady. And as she said before - your entering into a new stance in tollerance between you two that is both of you saying "I can tollerate you.".. Its a step up from a "I love you"... yet not as strong as a "have you seen my false teeth honey?"..

And from a personal viewpoint of having no one that has tollerated me without trying to kill me, I'd find you to be a very lucky man... and wish you luck that is probably un-needed.

[Sammie]

I clocked 2 hours on my nike today. It was a beatiful sunny 63 degrees.
I burned a nice 750 calories which I intend on spending on wine tonight.

I've gotten pretty comfortable in the traffic and finally feel confident stopping and starting again with the cars downtown but this thing has 27 gears and I think I've only used 3 of them...gotta work on that.

I also picked up a helmet at the bike shop while I was out so I wont crush my little skull. :wink:


something tells me that my ass is going to hurt like hell tomorrow

[Nimmy]

Bicycle butt is prime for rape-age.

I found a video called "fuck the forest"... its of a group thats trying to save the rainforest through music and song. Looks like a bunch of l1ve's walking around drunk...

Anyways, the video in question was called "fuck the forest" .. and the band is called cum faced or something terrible. And the video starts with 2 people having sex like they're practicing, then they go out on stage after the band announces 2 people have a message for the audience.. then they come out and start screwing on stage while they sing "fuck the forest"....

Never did watch that video, I just found it rather peculiar.

How that ties into your bicycle sammie, well.. you said your ass was going to hurt in the morning.

[Jethro]

OK has anyone questioned why we let Nim in to are little group yet?

[Nimmy]

Your welcome to contest it at any time, but be aware I will contest you too.. on grounds of....


Nevermind, can't think of anything good, tequila has me...

[Laroacha]

OK has anyone questioned why we let Nim in to are little group yet?

what,,,,,isn't he just normal?????? crap

[Sckoarn]

I think there was a vote to let Nim in. Some how he got enough votes.

I got my wife a 120G portable hard drive. This is to take the large amount of pictures off her computer for .... some reason. Storage I think.

I let my wife buy for the kids and others.

The family got a Wii. So we had family games all during the holiday. Nothing like a little boxing to get your head on straight. Also get to beat the crap out of your kids and leave no marks.

I got a PSP.

All in all a very good holiday.

[MiddleFinger]

...and a Saitek Eclipse II keyboard. With all the other black and grey/silver components on my desk, I had to get rid of that crappy old nicotine stained beige keyboard I've had since before the "GNG fag fest 2-P-cola-Fag Harder" (the one when we had the lan at me and POOSTICK's house). :tongue:

[L1veUndead]

Good times on the fagfest.

btw I ran into Syndrome in person the other day for the first time in a year.

[Triple_6]

I've been ignoring this thread because I'm jealous of what everybody got but now that I've actually read it I want to congratulate Live! That's awesome news, dude.

I got a Mr. Kennedy action figure from my niece. Probably the coolest thing I got, though it doesn't move. Except for its right boot. Which makes no sense. And it rotates 360 degrees too. So you can turn the right foot completely around if you wanted to, but why someone would want to do that is beyond me.

[Nimmy]
