The Annual "Whadya' Get" Thread

[Mr. DS]

So what did you get this year?  Mostly gift cerftificates here.   Oh and a new Wii-mote and Mario Party 8.   "Santa" was very kind to my kids. My 3 year old is currently playing with his bounty. 

[indianasmith]

So far . . . I got a $20 bill, a new digital camera card that can store a kazillion pictures, and a copy of the new STAR TREK (Special Edition).  But my family gathering is not till Sunday!

[InformationGeek]

I happened all my presents yet, but so far, I got the comic book series 52 Vol. 3-4, Dilbert Complete Series Collection, and When They Cry Complete Box Set (Got it after all 3mnkids!).  I'll be back later tonight with the final results.

[Jack]

Got a DVD - Halfway House starring Tracy Keijser.  Sounds like a bad movie extravaganza.  And some video games:  Grid for the PS3 and Gran Turismo 3 and Ford Racing 3 for the PS2.  And a pair of shoes    Guess which one of those presents my wife got for me 

[Saucerman]

iPod Touch, to replace my old Gen2 iPod that finally gave up the ghost.  Also, a cable so I can plug my iPod into the Radiationmobile.

So far:

-the stench of Swisher Sweets from the trash folks in the next apartment. (The whole city is snowed in and hardly anyone is stupid enough to go anywhere, but these juggleheads are STILL running in and out at all hours. Idiots.)

[hellbilly]

Mostly money so I can buy whatever I want (so far enough money to buy 16 or 17 Blu-ray movies).
I also got a fondue and some non-alcoholic After Shave lotion.

These were also on the Horrible Horror sets by Rhino (OOP), except for Trip with the Teacher and Madman of Mandoras. A bunch of cool flicks indeed.

[Ash]

I got:

1.) The 2010 Guinness Book of World Records (hardcover)

2.) Uncle John's Unsinkable Bathroom Reader

3.) The Amazing Book of History

4.) The Amazing Book of Useless Knowledge

5.) Telephoto & wide angle lens set for my camera

6.) German Flecktarn boonie hat (for Airsoft)

Yes, my family likes to buy me books.
I definitely won't go wanting for quality reading material for awhile.   

[Newt]

Let's see...

Don Dohler's "FIEND"
Mel Brooks' "Men in Tights"
"Stan Helsing"
"Quatermass and the Pit"
The entire third and fourth seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus (completes the set)
and three Dresden Files books.

It's good.   

[HappyGilmore]

Running down the list:
Toilet Paper (24 Rolls)- Aunt didn't have a large income, so bought cheap stuff she felt people NEEDED, instead of wanted.  (Makes sense here, as I'm a 4 time a day go-er.)
Peeps- Cause I love me my Peeps.
Chocolate Chip Cookies- Cause my aunt makes the best homemade chocolate chip cookies.
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.
