December 26, 200619 yr QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Dec 26, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) There's a Death of WCW book? *runs to amazon.com* Yep. Written by the wrestlecrap.com guys, the book details the multitude of stupid decisions that killed WCW, focusing on the backstage politicking of guys like Hogan and Nash in particular. I had to force myself to put it down and save it for later. It's VERY good, and very detailed.
December 26, 200619 yr One of the things i received was a pair of nice slippers. First time i attempted to walk downstairs with them on our new wood stairs, fell down on the first stair and tumbled halfway down. it was essentially like walking down a hill of ice. Woke the whole house up at almost 3am. Good times.
December 26, 200619 yr As early Christmas presents I got Rainbow 6 and a controller for 360. As my regular presents, I got $$$, gift cards, The Office Season 2, Entourage Season 1. The best gift 'Santa' could bring me would be success at my first live poker tourney/event. It's a charitable event where the rake goes to various charities. I'm coming with $200, and if I could leave with $500+, I'd be quite pleased.
December 26, 200619 yr Slow Sox year... I only got a new T-shirt. Besides that I did get a new ping-pong table
December 26, 200619 yr My 2 year old got some wooden puzzles - letters, numbers, shapes - You know the kind. On problem, the octagon that says "Octagon" on it and in the space it goes, is actually a hexagon.

I pulled in a new winter coat (which was badly needed), a TomTom GPS thingy, and a bunch of useful gift cards. Nothin' White Sox, which was ok after all of the stuff I scored on my birthday.

December 26, 200619 yr $350 bucks in cash, a gift card at AMAZON.com, a sweater, and a 4GB Ipod. Nice haul if I do say so myself.

You are talking to the ping pong champion of my middle school. I got a bunch of work clothes (all of which are getting returned because I don't wear ties) and a new pair of work shoes (but I forgot to tell my folks I just bought a new pair about a month ago). Aside from that, Xbox Live for 13 months (my first month free just ended),Tiger Woods Golf, a nice sweater (that I can wear to work when its in the 50's, LOL), undershirts, & money. I bought myself a Rex Grossman jersey and a new football.
December 26, 200619 yr Rocky Anthology, Money, Gift Cards, Gas Cards, movies and Bears crap...Can't forget the saved by the bell all five seasons
December 26, 200619 yr Sox related, I got a White Sox santa hat and a t-shirt. I also got a Bears division champs longsleeve, which I immediately threw back at my mom, even though it was a gift from my sister... There's a story here... You see, back in late '05, before the Sox playoffs, but after the Sox had clinched, my mom bought me a Sox AL Central Division champs T-shirt. At the time, I was happy the Sox had won the division, but I wasn't satisfied with just a division championship. So when she handed the shirt to me, I touched it for only seconds before tossing it back to her as if it were contaminated with the black plague. I told her that I appreciated the shirt, but I wouldn't wear it until the Sox won the World Series. The reasoning being that if I wore the shirt before the playoffs/World Series, that I was already accepting of the Sox impending post-season failure. In other words, the Bears are gonna win the Super Bowl!

Anyways slow Christmas for me. I'm gettin a U.K Passport (I'm eligible because of a family connection), but I still actually have to finalize filling out the forms and sending it off etc. It gives me some options if I want to work in Europe (if I wanted to work in the States I'd have to get some sort of visa or a green card). But other than that, just some travel stuff and a book, so not much a haul this year, but that's ok.

Although I'm sure Kangaroo Foreskins would probably get you a lot of $$$ on the open market, unfortunately we're not THAT inhumane down here.
