Quick hitter this morning:

Best Christmas present ever received? And an actual present, wrapped, in a box, under the Christmas tree.

This! It did a.m.a.z.i.n.g spin-outs.

Related to the Nintendo talk... one of the worst gifts I ever received was one I begged for as a kid. It was the Power Glove. I wanted it so badly. My parents got it for me and I was sooooooo excited. But, no luck concerning it actually working. It was such a disappointment. I felt so bad because my parents got it for me and I loved it, until I tried to use it on Mike Tyson's Punch Out. It never worked well.

Basically, they tried to do the Wii before the technology was there. What a bust.

Maybe you should't have used it so much when whackin' it.

I would get sad when I ran out of the black papers, but then used black construction paper to make my own designs.
Originality rocks!

I'll give you the current list I own (for the most part).

Electrics:
1970 Gibson ES150W
PRS Artist Series Custom Brazilian Rosewood (It is a pink guitar!)
Parker Fly Deluxe
G&L ASAT Z3
G&L Legacy Deluxe SSH

Basses:
Steinberger
Modulus Quantum 6 String
Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray
Custom Fretless

Acoustics (these are my true loves):
McPherson 5.0 Redwood and Rosewood
Santa Cruz
Lowden F32
Mervyn Davis Classical
Takamine Classical
A custom shop guitar which shan't be named
1960s Harmony Sovereign
1970s Alvarez

I have a couple other random instruments... mandolin, banjo, cellos. But most aren't high end.

Oddly... I've only ever owned one Les Paul. I like them, but I'm a much bigger fan of PRS.

My prize piece is the Gibson Gospel (but my brother currently has it) and my Martin mandolin.

Hey white knite, I'm on three types of steroids and besides being extremely hyper right now, I'm also not seeing what should be obvious.

so capt obvious this here

Can you boys play your guitars together in your underpants, please? If there's gentle nuzzling, peanut butter and some frottage involved, well.....

*rawr*

Yeah, no problem and....heyyyyyy waitaminute!!

I don't have one gift that really stands out as the best, however I do remember always looking forward to a new beach towel from Grandma every year. That was pretty cool.

 

[NorthRockJohnson]

The GI Joe Hovercraft I got as a kid was a big standout.

As I got older I liked getting guitar stuff. This year I'm gonna get me a new amp. Gonna be awesome!

I remember the Christmas mornings and joy of gathering around the tree and mum and dad handing the gifts out to us. I remember waking mum and dad up with such excitement that Santa had been, and the the wonderful times with family and friends in the pool in the afternoon and evening after eating too much and parents drinking too much!

I don't really remember any of the gifts though.

How sentimental? Not really I just have a really shit memory.

It's the thought that counts, and when you cast your mind back it's those thoughts that pull together and make you smile

If yesterday was about the best present you ever received, then today I'll ask the converse. What was the worst present you ever gave? Maybe it wasn't intended, maybe it just turned out to be that horrible, rotten, not a very good idea present.

 

[Lord Pmann]

What are their names?

I've named them all Christina Hendricks. It's the closest I'll ever get to fingering her. A couple of them do have names though...

Maybe you should't have used it so much when whackin' it.

I was like 7 years old when I got the Power Glove. Pervert!!!!

My prize piece is the Gibson Gospel (but my brother currently has it) and my Martin mandolin.

Very nice. I've owned over 50 instruments and, oddly, I've only ever owned two Gibsons. One Les Paul and the old Gibson I have now.

Duuuuude, party at your house!

Come on! We can play some sexy songs and just melt the knickers right off! (Not ours, but the laydeez)

Why must you always treat me like I'm just some sex object in your eyes? Just a play thing to be used and sucked on.

I would have to say it's a gift card. Not that those are terrible, but they can be pretty thoughtless. Because usually it's me saying, "Oh shit, I don't know what to get you, so here is a last minute gift." With that said, I actually really enjoy gift cards.

I once bought two tickets to a wine tasting event and gave them to someone who, unbeknownst to me, was a recovering alcoholic. Oops.

Well, you gave them an opportunity to work their program! That IS a gift!

Bad gifts? I'm scratching my head... gonna go stir the pot a little (literally) and report back later....

 

[Suz_anne]

The worst Christmas present that I ever gave was a gift basket that I ordered online. I thought it was going to be plentiful and full of yummy treats. It was pathetically small and I felt like a cheap a-hole.

Hey Litiquetters -

Merry Christmas to all of you. This thread is home to most of my Lit besties-- many of whom have had the pleasure of listening to me go through some high highs and low lows this year. Normally I'd send you all nudie pix for Christmas, but I'm classy now. Ish.

Anyways, I want to wish you all the happiest of holidays and let you silly pervs know that y'all mean a lot to me, and this thread has provided much needed comedic refuge for me from time to time this year.

Chained, thanks for keeping it going. Pmann, thanks for ignoring most of my posts. It only makes me work that much harder to be that much funnier. And my main girls: Suz and Aussie and SMN... I fuckin love you ladies. And to everyone else that pops in and out of here, thanks to all of you for the banter, the e-hugs, the insightful and thoughtful posts, and the genuine camaraderie that this thread engenders.

Ho, ho, ho everybody

Awwwwww!

This moves me, Pmann.

I'm still not showing you my boobs. But you're on the right track.

This one year I got a six pack of beer. Which is actually okay, just that it was a mix and match and 4 of them were IPAs. And I really fucking hate IPAs.

Fuck. Back to the craft beer store to get something other than IPAs.

Get Dos Equis and hit the Adam and Eve store. I'll make you a list...

Are you just trying to get me to acknowledge your posts more often? I won't fall for these silly tricks.
