my holiday gift guide
Published December 5th, 2005 in Newssoon exams will be over and i can do more useful things with my time like write about useless stuff on the internet, i have a whole bunch of articles pending but have yet to find time to publish them. anyway, while we all eagerly wait, please submit your suggestions to be included as part of the holiday gift guide. im putting it together to help aging loved ones find gifts for people our age, because they actually still try. i told my mom to PLEASE not get me anything; but i would like to compile an accurate cross-section of desirable items at least to mark the current trends. i also like avoiding the awkward “you just gave me an even more useless piece of crap than that thing i got last year when i swore i would never live to see the day i got a more useless and retarded gift” as i don’t know wether to laugh and let you return it, or pretend like i actually want the trinket cluttering up my already disheveled room. just a note, i think this year i’m not accepting ANY gifts unless they are extremely shiny or useful, or do not need a place to be put ie; airplane tickets are fine. instead i have opted for the much more simple and economic method of gift giving. Find that one of a kind crapfest you were going to actually waste your hard-earned money on, take a picture of it, or draw it, place that in a card or other simple wrapping method, and say, hey this is what i got you. Try and make it realistic, I mean, those porsche pics are preposterous, but have a little fun, i mean you aren’t actually spending the money. This method allows for all that “thought that counts” ideology and goes a bit easier on cramped pockets, we all have enough crap anyway.
so send in your wishlist or ideas for my hopefully-soon-to-be-published holiday gift guide.
email, IM, or comments work. you never know, i might just feel generous enough to give the best suggestion their wish.
So this sounds like a case of “hey, here is a pic of the Mercedes, uh, that I was going to buy you. but since you are not accepting any gifts, I had to return it…..ahh well, maybe you’ll change your mind next year!”

please re-read the ” Try and make it realistic, I mean, those porsche pics are preposterous, ” section. i already knew it was coming spence. also, i thought about adding a clause that would allow the receiver could cash the picture in for the actual item to call someone’s bluff.
so I guess the shiney new combination turntable and 8 track tape player I was planning on getting you . . .
I only want an hot tub for Xmas
