Christmas prestents' proposal thread

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

All of us got certain consumption obligations and one of them is christmas. I have bought only 2 of 6 presents so far and still got a long way to go. We should help each other to find good christmas presents for everyone and please post any proposals you. BUT PLEASE NO YOKES (heard me Avon? )

My proposal is: This year I wanted to buy my parents a DVD player but dont want to spend too much. But after I read about 12 magazines and tests from various national-quality-organisations I found out that the second best is actually one of the cheaper DVD players on the market. SO in case you wish to buy a DVD player then get the

Panasonic DVD-RV 32 which costs around 214 Euro. It got top marks in all categories except in easy handling.

------------------------------------------------------------

In order not to bore all of you I thought about adding a little yoke:

(We take you now to the Oval Office.)

George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?

Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.

George: Great. Lay it on me.

Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.

George: That's what I want to know.

Condi: That's what I'm telling you.

George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?

Condi: Yes.

George: I mean the fellow's name.

Condi: Hu.

George: The guy in China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The new leader of China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The Chinaman!

Condi: Hu is leading China.

George: Now whaddya' asking me for?

Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.

George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?

Condi: That's the man's name.

George: That's who's name?

Condi: Yes.

George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East.

Condi: That's correct.

George: Then who is in China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir is in China?

Condi: No, sir.

George: Then who is?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir?

Condi: No, sir.

George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.

Condi: Kofi?

George: No, thanks.

Condi: You want Kofi?

George: No.

Condi: You don't want Kofi.

George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass

of milk. And then get me the U.N.

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.

Condi: Kofi?

George: Milk! Will you please make the call?

Condi: And call who?

George: Who is the guy at the U.N?

Condi: Hu is the guy in China.

George: Will you stay out of China?! Condi: Yes, sir.

George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.

Condi: Kofi.

George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone. (Condi picks up the phone.)

Condi: Rice, here.

George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?

LOL I love that "who's on first" clone....is there a sound clip of that?

I still haven't started my christmas shopping. . I'm one of those "at the last minute" guys. The people I have to shop for are:

My mom

My stepdad

12 year old sister

1 year old brother

Roomate

Landlady (happens to be roomate's mom)

And as usual, I don't know what the hell to get anyone, may go with gift certificates.

[ralphwiggum 6]

i'd have to say i agree with Messianic Peterpan that guys are late shoppers. although i can argue that my school life is killing me, so i won't get to do shopping till next week.

although i already started christmas shopping for myself

[Tovarish 0]

Dammit Ralph! Stop saying things that make me scroll back and check my title! *goes off to see if his personal settings have been tampered with*

One thing about Christmas for me is that my birthday is exactly a week before, so I always get lots of goodies around this time

[Warin 0]

I pretty much had my shopping done by the end of november. With the exception of some cool little RC cars for my son, they are all wrapped and ready to go. The ZipZaps I am just waiting on for shipment from the friend who picked them up for me!

I have a few odds and sods left to pick up..but otherwise, I am totally done.

And I've got to go with Albert on this one, Panasonic makes excellent DVD players

Being a poor humble government worker my holiday is going to be what I like to call a "Welfare Christmas." Very few presents and mostly just spending time with family, friends, and my loved one.

Especially since I went to Japan for a month...

So I assume you´ll get a sushi set for christmas  

current present status:

Girlfriend will get a ticket for a paradrop. She never stopped talking about it after she has watched some jumps I did.

(This will hopefully save me from marriage for one more year. Women at 29 come up with strange ideas like that quite frequent.)

Father gets a new receiver as I doubt he will ever be able to fix the old one.

My brother will get some books on physics as it seems to be his latest favour.

And my neighbour will get a new windscreen for his car (used one) cause his old one has some heavy scratches after we brought down a tree in my garden. And no i am no relative of Tim Allen

for me , everything is already at home and packed , except the presents that are destinated to me

my mother , my father , my grandmother , my little brother , my little sister and the people they live with , my wife , about 6 cousins and their 10 children , my coworkers , my wife's coworkers etc etc etc ....

you should see all these christmas paper boxes ...

and this year , there's everything :

a dvd player for my father and chocolates

flowers and perfume set for my mother chocolates

a pair of socks for my little sister (just to see her face when she'll open the present ) , several CD's and a pass for a concert of i don't really know who and the chocolates , and a mixor for her kitchen

for my little brother , several DVD's and video games (about 2/3 of each) and chocolates and a bed set

a set of perfume and a nice fur coat for my grandmother + chocolates

a set of jewels , and 2 CD's for my wife

2 huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge belgian chocolate boxes for my coworkers and my wife's coworkers

6 boxes of chocolates + toys and fluffy animals for the kids

i've wasted the half of my paycheck+my christmas prime and i don't know if i'll have enough to pay the taxes for the end of the year , but if it's like all the past years it will be a lil' bit just but it will be ok

since i get a relatively big paycheck , i tend to spoil my familly at the end of the year

[waffendennis 0]

[PiNs_Da_Smoka 0]

Christmas....times like these i wish i was Jewish. *starts singing the Hannukha song* I too am a procrastinator and have yet to set foot in a mall. But i did pick up a few things for my older brother when i was at Best Buy picking up some CD's. I got him a few DVDs, GTA:Vice City and the new Contra game, because we used to play that all the time when we were kids on NES (the greatest system ever!. Hmm....up up down down left right left right B A B A select start....i wonder if you can still get 30 guys with that code   ....guess not because PS2 has no B and A buttons.....o well As far as buying gifts for everyone else.....malls are still open on the 24th, i think i'll be ok

I'm getting a brand new, extremely high quality Tippmann paintball gun and a 20oz. Co2 tank, all for about $200. I dont know what I should get my girlfriend. In fact, I dont even really know if I can consider her a girlfriend anymore. I'll send her a baby moose or something.

I have that DVD player, It's a quality piece kit really. Im gonna take some time out of Uni tomorrow to do the rest of my shopping. Working in a shop, you don't get much time to do your own . Still dunno what to get my dad.

[Jester983 0]

Well being a person who cant drive kinda makes it hard to do christmas shopping. And a small allowance doesnt help.

My parents usually help me out with that though.

Im already getting a ruger .22 for christmas. About 275. I hope my parents will get me the Band Of Brothers Box set. Another 80 bucks but im not holding my breath.

[USMC Sniper 0]

Hopefully I will get a Marui MP5 with a scope and silencer, but that is doubtful since I already have an airsoft gun and my parents aren't going to spend that much money this year since they spent over $1000 on me only last year.

How about a talking George W. Bush doll?

[USMC Sniper 0]

Lol! I am definately getting one of the GWB dolls. I wonder if it would be possible to make a dynamic expression doll, with many different monkey expressions.

Dont be that harsh!

A GWB doll is a present that anyone would want!

Press button and listen to him say 'you work hard to put food on your family'. Classic!

How about the talking R. Lee Ermey doll?

[Cloney 0]

ROFL Drew, my friend has one of those. Being in the same room as one is an awful experience. After a few phrases he gets quite obnoxious. Then its fun to knock him off the high shelf he's standing on and beat the crap out of him.
