I didn't get too much for Christmas but here is what I got:

The Simpsons Season 11 DVD
Family Guy Volume 6
Some dress shirts
2 diecast formula 1 cars
Socks

A lot of gift cards, cuz it's a pain in the ass to transport presents on the bus ride back home afterwards.

Also, my friend whom I haven't seen in a few years called me to tell me that his fiancee had bought us tickets to see Wrestlemania 25... a woman whom I've never met or even talked to spent $350 to buy me a ticket to a one night event... now I gotta see if I can rustle up the $400 in travel expenses it's gonna take me to get down to Austin and back. :buggedout:

Yeah there was a variety where you could blow the smoke out, those were the best ones. You only got one real puff tho and they might have been the bubble gum ones.

You're right, it was the bubble gum ones.  It was that weird sugary cornstarch stuff they coated the gum with to keep it from sticking.  Sadly, I always tried to save my one "puff" and when I wanted to show off, the "butt" was damp and I couldn't blow the "smoke" out. 

Wow, nothing like sharing embarrassing crap in public, huh?

I asked my folks for one of those converter boxes we'll all be needing in February.
I knew they had an extra one lying around.
Instead, they got me a new TV.
I was kinda' hoping for a converter box so I could hook it up to my VCR, but this'll do.
It's just that now, I need to get me one of them uhh, uhh, things...

I was gonna see how all my porn looked on it, but I discovered it gets these subchannels.
One of 'em is the Mhz network, which plays these weird Russian movies. Last week, I saw this super cheesy Russian Musical called The Snow Queen, & tonight I sat through Tarkovski's The Sacrifice.
The other one is the This network, which plays all these classic baddies from the seventies.

My sister gave me a copy of Kicking & Screaming.
I didn't have the heart to tell them that I don't like Will Ferrel. Then again, it might have been revenge for giving her kids a copy of Monsters Inc a few years ago.
She also gave me a photo scrapbook with a cartoon of Wonder Woman on the cover. I just can't help but wonder if she was trying to tell me something.
