Xmas pressies.
 

Bought my first one today. It's for my dad and it's a letter opener and magnifying glass stored in an exotically designed silvery box with a glass top. The handles look like they're made of ivory. It was made in India, which explains why it looks SO exotic. :)

Why are you trying to take Christ out of Christmas?

Jesus X. It's like Malcolm X.

Do you know, it's never occurred to me until now that 'Malcolm X' probably added the X to his name because he's got the name of Malcolm.

good observation

Thanks. You don't have to point it out though, I'm happy to just assume that everything I say should be followed with a tacit 'Heyall yeah bra, that's some tight shit right there, feel me?' or similar.

maybe make it your sig? I think I got a contact high just reading it.

Sigs are decided by committee. And unfortunately most of the committee think I'm a cunt, so I can't help I'm afraid.

Is your dad exotic-looking? Why did you buy him an exotic present?

you are too damn intelligent to be a cunt (not even a pseud for the record). if cunts had brains the world would actually be under a type of control, though it would be of the pointlessly pussy whipped type that vag slaves like me demonstrate.

you are much more of a bastard, but then that term stopped being very insulting sometime around 1982 or 3.

who cares what I'm giving? it's what I'm getting that counts!

did you know the x in xmas is substitute cross for christ

a one, two, one two three four

NO CHRISTMAS FOR JOHN QUAYS

i have to make everything since i'm almost broke and still trying to save some for my trip to london in february.

How are you plannning on getting there? It's possible to work out the cheapest method by checking ferry, train and flight fares.

it's not related to the name malcolm,it's there in place of his family name(Little)

But he's called Malcolm! You'd do anything to jazz up a name like that. Believe me, my name is dull as piss. I know how he feels.

that's probably why he changed to prophet minister hajji malik el shabbaz, it has a ring to it

For similar reasons I was thinking of buying myself a Friarship or Archdeaconry from the internet.

I bought my dad 2001: A Space Oddesy on Blu-Ray and a live Townes Van Zandt album.

I still need to go do more shopping for some others.

As it happens, I could qualify for the priesthood by the end of 2010 without even wanting to. True story.

there was a eurostar promotion about a month ago and my boyfriend's parents wanted to go, they asked if he wanted to come along and he said he'd come if i could join them... so they called me to see when i had some spare time and booked four tickets. i can afford it, but i'll have to spend as little money as possible from now on.

it'll be fun, we can do whatever we want, it's not like we have to hang around with the parents all day.

i'm always broke around christmas too so i've been crafting my gifts for years. people tend to love them.

this year i'm making a personalized poster for everyone.

I gather you read what happened over the weekend in the channel tunnel.

Do it, deliver some non-shit sermons, and get excommunicated.

I bought the rest of the xmas pressies today. My mum smokes, so I got her a Butt Bucket and a lighter which has Saint George's flag on it. I got my brother and his wife a Bodum Darjeeling Teapot, and for their 1-year-old daughter, a bath toy set featuring an Octopus with flashing lights, and another which squirts water. Mind you, the last one would suit Satan just as well.

I got my g/f the collected Sopranos DVD's with all the extras and shit.

plus I got her an engagement ring with which I proposed on Friday.

I got no money for xmas now.... ha!

Congratulations. :)

thanks!. second time's the charm right?

yeah i know, my boyfriend's brother works on the eurostar and of course the staff was stuck too, they've been in london for four days going from airport to ferry to whatever trying to get home, while other people constantly acted furious towards them, like it was completely their fault. they serve drinks, for god's sake. in the end they got on a ferry to calais and then found someone who wanted to give them a ride to brussels.

as we say it: gefeliciteerd!

What did you guys get for xmas?

I got a rugby top, scarf, hat, gloves, and a tin box of Belgian biscuits.

CDs, DVDs, cords, shoes, a jacket

so far, my dad gave me some money. i spent christmas at his place so we do the whole presents thing on new year's.

some ugly clothes and giftcards.

Roky Erickson LP, a book on rapid hypnotic induction / somnambulism, a pretty thorough book on typography, and a nintendo DS

books, new coat, new mp3 player, art stuff, shark attack game.

oh and my cousin bought me simpsons season 5... my favourite season!

a new phone, lots of pajama pants, socks, two pairs of jeans that don't fit at all, a black cardigan, two cashmere pullovers, cash (major upside of relatives and family friends having no idea what to get you!), chocolate
