Some free movie passes- Go to any movie, and I get in free. $25 Visa Gift Card, usable anywhere- I am going on Troma's site to order Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD with it. The Simpsons Scene It DVD Board Game- The questions are HARD, even to long time fans. The Mask Omnibus- A collection of issues of the original Mask Comics run, namely: The Mask, The Mask Returns, and The Mask Strikes Back (out of print, that one.) A bit darker and more violent than the Jim Carrey flick. The Essential Weird Al Yankovic- 2 CD's, about 40 songs, compiling Al's 'biggest known' songs. WWE SmackDown 1999-2009- A 3 Disc, 9 hour compilation of highlights and matches from the WWE's second biggest show, from it's debut with The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin until todays newer wrestlers. The Fame- By Lady Gaga Take a Break by Me First and The Gimme Gimmes. A few other things as well, but I didn't really ask for much.

I haven't been to a B-Fest since 2002! 24 hours watching bad movies in a auditorium filled with b-movie fanatics; I'm in Heaven.
Besides that, Katie and I got to see the kids open all their gifts. Santa brought each of them a sleeping bag (adult sized, and with a solid color outside and flannel interior) for movie nights on the living room floor. They watch a movie, have popcorn, and are allowed to sleep there if they want. Each of them also got a movie, like "Up" and "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland." There was also a Lego house, Lincoln Logs, Battleship, Connect4, Junior Scrabble, and a robot that shoots foam discs. It can toss those things pretty far. The cat and us parents have to pay attention. Title: Re: The Annual "Whadya' Get" Thread Post by: trekgeezer on December 27, 2009, 12:28:55 PM Got some flannel PJ pants, Watchmen the Ultimate Edition, The Prisoner Complete Series, my traditional Hallmark Star Trek Ornament (this year it's the Klingon Battlecruiser, I have them all starting with 1992), and my wife's other traditional present to me, a giant Hersheys Kiss.
My wife really punked me, I had a big box under the tree and when I opened it was full of towels and wash clothes. I asked if I now had my own personal towels and she told me to look further and found an iPod touch.

Among other things, I got a big stainless steel thermos and several packages of gourmet coffee. No need to close up shop for 15 minutes while I run out and buy a second cup.
The money we would have spent on each other went toward two things: a top-of-the-line pre-lit artificial tree (not tromping through knee-deep snow in the cold and dark while schlepping a tree and a big saw - that was the best gift ever). The second thing was a Christmas weekend getaway with the in-laws to a rented chalet in a popular ski town about an hour away. Split five ways, it was very affordable. While everybody else went swimming, skiiing, sightseeing, etc., I mainly ate, slept and read. My wife was actually worried I wasn't having fun! I was getting eight or nine hours of sleep a night, napping in the afternoon, enjoying loads of peace and quiet, sipping beer and coffee laced with Irish cream, and getting about half a novel read, then joining everyone for meals and board games before turning in early. I had a blast. :thumbup: Title: Re: The Annual "Whadya' Get" Thread Post by: Paquita on January 12, 2010, 03:37:55 PM A good pair of gloves, some gift certificates, a warm winter shirt, and, from my wife, a trip to Chicago for B-Fest 2010 in January!
