What do you want for christmas?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

What do you want for christmas?

Post by Obfleur » Wed Nov 28, 2007 2:32 pm

I'm in dire need of some awesome tea cups (bring on the inevitable "I'm in dire need of some awesome c-cups!").

And some cool candles.

And money so I can redecorate my bed room.

Also: Have you ever gotten a christmas present that made you react like this?

Dunno, nothing really. Don't even know where I'll be spending it, so it's gonna be hard to get presents. A skype call from my family is about all I really want.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

I love the fact that you don't have a house/flat.
It's so insane! You're like Tyler Durden or something.

Yes, but oddly enough I can't remember what it was.

I don't want a lot for Christmas, there's just one thing I need. I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree. I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know.

Make my wish come true. All I want for Christmas is Ob.

Same as Emvee really, a call from my family. It'd be nice if someone would give me the day off work, but at least my co-workers will be in as well.

Don't be silly.

There's no such thing as love. God only planted clues as to its existence in an attempt to test our faith.

It's one of God's easiest jokes.

Oh, I wager there's quite a bit that I'd like for christmas. :o

1.One of the new unreleased Nintendo DS's +20 bloody great games that have come out for DS so far.

2. Wii-games. Like:
Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3
Nights Into Dreams
Okami
Super Smash Bros Brawl

3. An announcement from Capcom that they'll be releaseing Street Fighter 4 to the Wii among the platforms planned.

4. An all new Comp-rig. I guess out of all material things, this is the one thing I actually really really want. Durn', it's tricky to get this one right.

5. Cure for all forms of Dementia... :(

If I don't get any of these, wich does seem likely, I'll settle for a christmas with my family, a happy christmas. :) Not often that I get to have some people around me.. I'm a hermit.

A blowjob. From a good looking woman.

And some socks. Nothing says Christmas like 2 packs of new socks.

We're doing the presents next week already :) , at Sinterklaas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas
it's great because each present is accompanied by a poem, which means that you can make fun of each other anonymously (all poems are signed by 'Sinterklaas').

I would love a kitten but will settle for a hug. And probably the standard scarf/bodylotion/socks.

Don't really care for the c-cups.

But what I want most, and what I will buy myself is to fly an airplane. :swirly:[/url]

There is something called a "flight workshop" where you get to fly a small Cessna airplane for about 30 minutes. I think you just learn the basics and essentially have a fun day out, like with a balloon flight or a chocolate making workshop.

I don't think I am rich enough to take flying lessons on a regular basis, or get some sort of flying licence. I would just very much like to try it once.

I flew a plane once.

Did a barrel roll, and was told to manoeuvre the the aircraft so it was pointing at some landmark I couldn't see because I was sat at the back (it was a tandem-style trainer, not like the fancy modern side-by-side jobs). Naturally, I excelled at it (i.e. didn't have a clue where I was supposed to be heading for), and so decided to stick to gliding.

Definitely worth it, if you get the chance, tho. :up:

Sounds great! :)

I hope it's just a matter of forking over the cash and booking a timeslot. If physical/medical requirements are involved, I hope they can overlook my short height and bad eyesight. Otherwise, I'll have to stick to driving a car.
