Thats ****ing hilarious. What kind of grown man buys something like that for himself? An awesome kind of grown man is what.

I got:
-The new Kindle with fakeleather case
-Grey Wolf, a Flames of War book that just came out last week that is a compilation of all the late war German companies for use in the Eastern front.
-Ghost in the Wires, a book written by Kevin Mitnick recounting his experience of being a hacker and doing illegal shit and evading the FBI
-Amazon, Stop & Shop, and Dunkin' Donuts giftcards
-Various candies, pistachio nuts, chex mix.
-Comfy-ass long sleeve shirts and a t-shirt, since I was pretty much down to four shirts before this. Also new socks, my most favorite gift every Christmas. Love me some new socks.

 

[Acepilotf14]

$540, and a sectional chart for LA, also reese's.

 

[Raziaar]

**** yeah.

I don't know what to name him though. I was thinking Hindenburg, but that would be too cliche.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

That manatee is so gosh darn cute...!

 

[Raziaar]

That manatee is so gosh darn cute...!

I got the idea from Shamrock actually. He has one(not a manatee), from years ago. I always wanted one, but never had a job then.

[Dog--]

****ing gorgeous. I got the blue one.

Extremely Frustrating at first, but then it's awesome. (Frustrating because I couldn't get it back into a cube for the longest time)

This top spins forever and never ever stops. Something to do with a battery inside the base because the top is just metal/plastic (dunno which it's really light), I dunno. It's cool as shit though.

Yes I'm finally getting around to actually getting and playing this.. Been a long time since Portal!

You know, the usual candy!

Got this image off the web but these ones here are exactly what they look like. 10 gauge stretchers - time to move up a level!

And also my favorite gift - $30 in subway gift cards and $10 in mcdonalds.

Oh yea and I got a magic bullet, too!

 

[morgs]

i also got you all something! open it below!

Spoiler

i hope you enjoy your newfound hatred of humanity and total disdain for this horrible horrible world !

 

[Viperidae]

Thanks for reminding me I'm not an asshat. :V

 

[Bad^Hat]

That's a gift. Give your dad your thanks and mine.

Heh, obviously more clarification is required: we, as a household, decided not to buy gifts for one another. Dad doesn't live here any more and therefore didn't know. We're gonna pool some cash together and get him something to reciprocate, just couldn't manage it by xmas day.

As for friends, we're all cheapskates and rarely buy eachother gifts, and that's just the way I like it. :v

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

We do that all the time, Hat. We have a cap of like 11 dollars nowadays, we're fairly out of money these days--especially ever since my dad lost the use of his legs.

 

[Shakermaker]

I got a shitload of books. I am especially happy with the Song of Ice and Fire series.
