It's the holidays when people tend to get stuff. So the question is what did you get?
As for myself, I got the complete Indiana Jones Collection, The Dark Knight, a nice pocket knife, 3 pairs of jogging pants, a bag of dark chocolate Hersey's Kisses, and $40. In the name of galactic peace I give you the gift of gas from my ass. |

Steve and his family got me a Wii and Wii Fit (apparently, "I don't want you spending a lot on me this Christmas" translates to "Have your
family chip in and get me something expensive anyway"). Other gifts so far: Wall-E, first volume of the British Whose Line is it
Anyway?, a couple John Barrowman CDs, a nice shirt, a cute cat ornament, and some money. We won't see my family until New Year's, so I don't
know what they got me yet.

I got a Doctor Who calender for 2009, the first season of Blackadder on DVD and Watchmen (yay), will be visiting relative over the next week so I'll get
more then.
edit: Well after visiting relatives have now acquired more presents, and low and behold my brother got his own copy of Watchmen so he doesn't have to nick mine (mind you he's already finished it and I'm only on chapter 5). I also got a few new DVDs, namely the Sontaran box set and the Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

Vampire Hunter, and Hard Rock Zombies. 3 films which I know if MST3K had not been canceled by the evil Bonnie Hammer, would of been canidates for the
show.

Mainly RiffTrax re-authors.) Trivial Pursuit Digital Choice (Completely customizable Trivial Pursuit game, thanks to downloadable content) AAA batteries for above game And Ive still got some cash, so there's more to come. Edit: As expected, I got the Dark Knight 2 disk today, and a Wal-Mart gift card of unknown denomination. (Probably $5 or $10.) Crush Therapy - The Solution to Any Capper's Problems

Spent some more of the X-Mas money today, and got Smackdown vs Raw 2009 for the Wii. Target had it advertised for $39, but when I got there, it was $37.
Instant savings.
Edit: And now, Ive used the Wal-Mart card I got yesterday. Turned out to be $10, which paid the majority of The Flash: The Complete Series. Walmart.com has it For $12.50, 79% off the MSRP. I should have it in hand as early as Friday. Crush Therapy - The Solution to Any Capper's Problems

The Flash: The Complete Series. Walmart.com has it For $12.50.

I got one present for Christmas (we focus mostly on the kids; presents for the adults are few). My sister, who lives near London, brought me a Doctor Who
Interactive Board Game. We played it several times, after I explained who the heck Doctor Who is to my young niece and nephew. For anyone who has
it, we found that it adds a level of fun to the game if you have all the Daleks on the board no matter how many are playing, and if you have a completely
separate person playing "Emperor" and moving them instead of the players moving them.
I got my sister a Wii Fit, which everybody played for the next 3 days, myself included. Actual age: 35. Wii Fit Age: 33. Woo! |
