EDIT
When I say busting a nut on, I don't mean on the actual game. The nut was 'busted' on some tissue, the game disc and case are in perfect condition worthy for sale on Ebay. So for those potential Ebay customers, no nut busting was done to the actual game.

Yes, I also ordered an 18" pizza and watched Zack and Miri Do A Porno with some friends, which by the way is a great film. I'm not religious so we don't celebrate Christmas, but we plan to bust some nuts in celebration of the new year. The previous nut busting was just preliminary tests for the real thing at the end of this month.

I GOT AN LCD MONITOR
20 INCH
Actually, I asked for a 22 inch model that had a resolution of 1680x1050, but I suppose 1440x900 is good too. But I'll always be in love with CRT's. Pixel density is MUCH better.
Aside from that, I got my computer parts, a stack of blank DVDs, a new phone (just a $30 pay as you go phone, but it's better than the one I had before it), and some candy.

No, but a smart man does. When your girlfriend is mad at you for playing too much World of Warcraft, Fleshlight is there to save the day. When she won't give you any because you call her a noob around her friends, Fleshlight is there to save the day.
Do you backup your data on the PC in case it crashes one day? Well that's what a Fleshlight is, *****. When your poontang is not working for some reason, Fleshlight is your backup HDD. Fleshlight is that spare tire you keep in the back of your vehicle.

Best of all though, I've found out that our 13 year old, non HD, non widescreen TV is breaking and needs to be replaced.

Must say, I did very well this year and all this will last a long time. Watched the Dark Knight last knight on 42" HD TV and surround sound and it was AMAZING. Seriously, everything is better in HD

They're not very healthy though. They're kind of skinny, and they ate a crapload of food when we got them home.

Car radio system
gift cards, which I've used one to buy Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, second one I will use to buy Resident Evil: Degeneration on Blu-ray
Pocket Watch

Dark Knight (will return because we already had it)
Chocolate
Few shirts
Collingwood Jersey (**** yea, getting either Paul Medhurst or Heath Shaw's number for the Aussies who follow AFL)
Aftershave
Gift vouchers + cash = bout 190, most likely will put towards a new ipod since mine no longer agrees with my car stereo
Jumper (DVD)
Addidas deodorant and body wash
New electric toothbrush and whitening toothpaste
Funky alarm clock
And work gave me a $100 Safeway/Caltex/BigW/Dan Murphy's voucher which I just spent on petrol so I could drive to Melbourne.
Think thats it, pretty good considering the only thing I asked for was a Queen size bed and a recliner and I knew that wasn't going to happen, most presents are just leftover ideas from my 18th.

If your phone is not the iPhone or the Google G1, it automatically fails at everything.

@Lemon: We've taken quite a few pictures with camera phones, so I've just got to get them off somehow (luckily, both phones have microSD cards).
#65
Posted 28 December 2008 - 12:02 PM
Sony Ericsson's are alright though. I just don't like the iPhone, and since the G1's a iPhone rip-off, I'm not that big a fan of that either.

Nokia > LG >>>> everything else.
But the G1 is nice, since it uses Linux for it's OS, and before a recent update, allowed you to easily mod the OS to your liking (and use a bunch of really awesome linux programs).
But they patched up that hole. D:
Anyway, pictures for proof:

The dog in the bottom of the last two pictures is the one we've had for 5 years now.
The bigger puppy likes to sleep a lot, and doesn't like moving around much (unless he's left alone with his brother, in which case they play rough with eachother) so he didn't move a muscle in any one of these pictures.
The little guy has a personality a lot like my older dog, and is really playful.
We are actually going to give one away to a friend (taking care of three dogs is a bit too much work for us right now, especially when you consider that neither of the pups are properly trained, aside from being house broken). Probably the big guy, since the smaller one is more likely to get along better with our older dog.
But the big guy would make a great show dog if he wasn't scared of absolutely everything. He's got a wonderful coat.
[EDIT] And yeah, that's my sister in the pictures. She's 18 btw.

PS. iPhone and G1 owns every other phone, stop lying to yourselves.
#85
Posted 29 December 2008 - 08:22 PM
Seriously though, I'm not in a mood to debate this but trust me, the iPhone and G1 are in a league of their own as mobile phones. I'm not saying this because they are popular, it's just common sense. Comparing an iPhone with your average handset is futile, and although the G1 isn't as well-known, it's offering even more features than the iPhone with the support of multiple companies, not just Google. So yes, one dumbass may think I fail for being in the 'group' who thinks this way, but that dumbass fails for not being in this group, whose name is commonly known as The Common Sense Group LLC.

On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,
"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
