Christmas
 

ZOMSJ! (Zoh mah sweet Jesus!)

2 days until Christmas, and not a single festive thread I see here! Then I shall be the first to instigate the discussions of what everyone hopes to get this year.

There is a shedload of new DVDs, and my most bizzare request ever, a smoking jacket and moccisons slippers. If I get those 2 things, I will start smoking cigars and sit in my armchair all day.

What about the rest of you?

I completely forgot about Christmas.

And Ronnie, I don't believe you have any cigars to smoke.

No, but I will send Dodgy Rodge into the shop to buy some for me with my Christmas money.

If you're going to buy Cuban cigars, don't buy cheap ones.

I shall be having a day off work.

aw, someone replaced my peculiar dialect with the dialect you 'normies' use in the thread title :(

That would be me. If there's only going to be one Christmas thread here on the site, it's going to be named something more universal.

I have two days off (Christmas Day and Boxing Day) and thursday for some reason, then im back to work.

Im getting an acoustic guitar and some games and DVDs.

Aren't you supposed to... like... not know until you open them tomorrow morning?

God told him.

I think he's planning on spending Christmas money or something.

No, Ross loves spoilers, so it doesn't surprise me that he saps the joy out of Christmas just likes he saps the joy out of his favorite TV shows.

I'm not sure what I could be getting tomorrow, there's not much I've anticipated like I did last year... my iMac was esentially the best thing I could've gotten and I already have it. :P

I sure hope a friend of mine on BZP is getting a new computer. He reccomended the iMac to me, and he was envious because he uses a Powermac G3 and is "in desperate need of a new computer", in his words.

There's supposed to be joy in Christmas? I just get annoyed because of the incessant advertising and the sickly scent of rampant consumerism everywhere.

Oh and it's about this time of year when the fundies all start raving on about the 'dilution of Christmas' which shits me even more for two reason; 1. It's so ****ing obvious that it's a corporate holiday now, not a religious one and 2. Christmas started as a ****ing pagan holiday so they can shut the **** up because they diluted it more than anyone else ever did.

I got a new PS2 because my old one broke, a new memory card because my brother lost the old one, god, think what else I could have had if he hadn't lost it.

I got "Jimmy Carr-Comedian" which is quite possibly the funniest DVD I have ever seen, Family Guy series 5, a PSP, 2 games for it, 2 new games for my PS2 and the QI book of general ignorance.

And the great thing is, I get even more on boxing day off my Dad :D What did you guys get?

While it's definitely a commercial holiday now, it's still a source of good times for a lot of people, which I appreciate more than anything about it.

I'm happy to say that I got an iPhone. :D

I got a Wacom tablet and a whole bunch of books about comic design.
Now I'm finally gonna start working on not sucking at drawing. :P

Awesome, James! Congratulations! :D

I got a case for my iPhone. :P

I picked the guitar myself, and there was nothing else on my list except games and DVDs.

Your mother.

My mum got an iPhone. I got a dartboard to go with my darts :P

Merry Christmas from me and all my family down here guys! :D

Same to you :)

I got an iPod touch ( :D :D ) and spent so long on it that the battery ran down after like a day (of pretty much continuous use). I've only just got back from my Grandma's house and have watched Voyage of the Damned.

Mum got an iPhone XD damm her

Yeah, damn whoever it was who brought it for wasting their money :P

I've just had my gifts from my Dad, Grandparents and uncles.

From my Dad, and he did a great job, staying totally consistent with my list, I got new school shoes, socks, deoderants, Family Guy Series 6, Roy Chubby Brown, QI Series 1, and Monk Series 5 :D

My Uncle got me a book called "Do Ants Have Arseholes? And 101 other bloody ridiculous questions," grandparents got me a Mock the Week DVD and moccesons slippers.

So on the whole this year, a brilliant result, and everything that was on my list :D

What about everyone else, still not heard anything...

One thing i wished for too late was QI: The Book of General Ignorance.

I got that :D

im going to steal it from you :D

Forgot to mention...
From my cousin I got "The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog" by Dave Barry, and a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card.

that's fine, I'll just pass the time by watching my new QI DVD I got with it.

Wrong. I have an iPhone too, and it kicks ass.

How much did it cost?

Like, a billion.

Wow, I could buy like a million phones with that.

It depends if its a US billion, a UK billion, an archaic billion or a modern billion. Or whether its a billion as in a thousand million or as in a million million.

They cost $400, but mine didn't cost anything as it was given to me as a gift over a month ago.

Wow, you're a lucky young man aren't you. At least you're not like those people who were queueing for 10 hours then running out of the shop orgasaming like a footballer who had just scored a goal after you'd bought it. Can't be doing with that.

First of all, if I had the money right when it came out, I definitely would have been. I've wanted it since long before it came out.

Secondly, what exactly is orgasaming? Does it have anything to do with origami? Or perhaps balsamic vinegar?

It's what Murray does when theres More Wallop.

Perhaps "whilst having an orgasm" would be a better term.
