Christmas 2006

[Evil Chris]

It draws closer and closer every second. What do you want for Christmas? Have you sent your letters to santa yet. If you want one of those Ultra Rare Living End Goodies then you better ask right away.

12 Days to go

[Disease]

I have no idea what I want. Or what anyone else wants. Or how the hell I'm going to pay for what anyone else wants.

[Jodez]

Im something out of a million this i would want. A brand spankin new guitar :)

[Evil Chris]

I would like a drum kit. Screw the guitar. Drums are more fun to play. But im stuck with guitar.

[hillaas]

I want cash (to take to Europe) and JB-HiFi vouchers!

[Jodez]

Gimmie your guitar if you dont want it :)
Whats the worst present you have ever got?

[Lowee]

I'd like world peace, no poverty in Africa, but more importantly, Stupor Ego (The Whitlams rare deleted live album), and a nice pair of bootlegging mics, perhaps Giant Squids.

[hillaas]

Gimmie your guitar if you dont want it :)
Whats the worst present you have ever got?

Anything from 'Santa'.

[Kev]

I asked for a Navman for my car. But probably won't get it.

I also asked for some socks, Cause all mine have holes in them.

Xmas and my Birthday are 12 days apart, so I have also submitted a birthday list.

On that I asked for a Element Skateboards shirt.

I will also get some money to buy a BDO shirt. And hopefully some money to pay for the band on my birthday.

[Rhiannon]

I just guessed before that I'm getting JB vouchers for chrissy, my mum's terrible at keeping secrets from me. So yey.

I really don't care what I get. I've long since outgrown the whole Christmas being about prezzies part.

[Jodez]

Anything from 'Santa'.

hehe:p

My Aunt gave me a half used B1 and B2 bubble bath (from her own kids) for xmas when i was 16...i was just like ohhh *thinking What the Fuck?*

[Yvonne]

I'd like the special edition Sidekick III with the kissy lips. That's soooo hot but not available in Germany. And the new pink iPod cause my current one is gaying out. I asked my mom to get me lots of threads for my sewing.

"All I want for Christmas is youuuuuuuuuuuuuu....." *sings*

[Kev]

Xmas day will be good.

I finish work at 5am, I'll have a couple of knock off drinks, get home by about 7am, sleep until 12 or so. Have lunch at the rellies. Then sleep on the couch or on the Trampoline.

[Lowee]

I had a stingy aunt who used to give me a $1 chickenfeed lollypop for xmas until I was about 16 I guess.

[hillaas]

"All i want for christmas is my two front teeth..."

[worry_rock]

"All i want for christmas is my two front teeth..."

I accept this and raise you a Mariah Carey.

"All I want for Christmas is YOU!" Oooohh, pulling out the big guns!!

[Jodez]

^Hehehehe :p

[Yvonne]

I accept this and raise you a Mariah Carey.

"All I want for Christmas is YOU!" Oooohh, pulling out the big guns!!

i hate Mariah Carey but there is still someone I'd really really like for Christmas :D

[hillaas]

I'd like an iPod for chrismas to replace my crappy fall-apraty old mp3 player.

[Jawn]

I'd like to hear Band Aids "Feed the World (Do they know its christmas time)" ad naseum so I can yell loudly to everyone near me the absurdity of the line "There wont be snow in Africa this christmas time".

[worry_rock]

"There wont be snow in Africa this christmas time".

....That's pretty bloody funny!

[Falcon Of Death]

i've got a nintendo wii so i'm getting sum stuff for that

[Jake]

Christmas will just be my immediate family again. Will see my London auntie on Tuesday, but that's it pretty much. See assorted family friends at other times, but on the day itself, just the immediate family.

I know I'm getting a pinstripe jacket, and I've asked for cash to go toward a new camera (I need to save for it - they're not willing to fork out £1000+..pfft). Apart from that, probably just some books, cds and dvds as usual.

[Ally]

I have absolutely no idea what I'm getting, or what I want. I'd like to update my mp3 player but I doubt anyone would wanna fork out all the money for that. So I'm stuck with my sticky tape'd one.

[Neryssah]

On that I asked for a Element Skateboards shirt.

Oh! This is so random but that completely reminded of something that happened once. There was this big shipment of stuff to the local surf/skate shop, but something happened so all the tags were in the wrong places. So instead of selling them off slightly cheaper, which still would have been an abslute rip off, they gave them to an op-shop and they sold it all for $5 each. And this is like, $250 jeans, and all the really expensive brand name shirts and shoes and bags and bikinis and everything, all going for $5 just because the tag was in the wrong place. You wouldn't even notice. So yeah, I got a bunch of skate shirts. I think I've lost them all now though :(

I want... so much stuff.
I want to be allowed to go to Woodford.
I want a heap of camera stuff. Lens, bag, filters, finally getting my tripod fixed, memory cards, etc.
I want money! Money would be most awesome.
I want a heap of books.
I want a heap of DVDs.
For once, there aren't any CDs that I want.
I want... I can't even think at the moment. But heaps of stuff.

We're going over to the coast for Christmas - to Noosa OMG LOL. I think we're just staying with family?

As for bad Christmas presents... my grandma gives me the pull-out crossword section in the newspaper. Yeah, sweet.

And my Aunt gave my cousin a pack of batman undies every year until he turned 18.

[Liz]

I want a J Player.
I want an Eskimo Joe DVD.
I want a You Am I DVD.
I want another TLE top. Mine has holes.

I don't know what else I want.
A new phone would be nice.

[Rosie28]

I came home the other day and there was a sewing machine in the living room. Mum made up some crap story, but i'm pretty sure it's mine. Pretty embarrasing if it's not though :p

[Liz]

I want Tim Tams for Christmas. Lots and lots of Tim Tams.

[Erin]

i want a digital camera that doen't take crappy pixalated photos
more music
chocolate
shoes
DVDs, not fussed on what, so long as its gonna be played more than once

yup, thats it i guess

[Disease]

I'd like to hear Band Aids "Feed the World (Do they know its christmas time)" ad naseum so I can yell loudly to everyone near me the absurdity of the line "There wont be snow in Africa this christmas time".

It's because they can't afford to waste money on fake snow. :p

[The Dying Start]

I'd like the special edition Sidekick III with the kissy lips.

I swear that said "with the pussy lips"

I was like "what the hell?"

But it was just my mind being...normal.

[skitbra]

I really don't care what I get. I've long since outgrown the whole Christmas being about prezzies part.

Me too, it's mostly about family for me (although presents are just a nice bonus). Unfortunately this year though, my immediate family will all be in Japan together and I'll be stuck at home alone. The first Christmas ever that I won't be seeing my parents and at least one of my siblings. Even mountains of presents can't make up for that. Not that I'm getting mountains of presents, not until they get back from Japan at least.

I do have cousins and aunts and uncles who I'll be hanging out with on Christmas day, but it's still not the same. I'll be lonely. :(

[Steph Format]

since I don't live at home anymore I've grown to REALLY appreciate home cooking. my mom making a giant platter of baklava, hells yeah.

avoiding Christmas is relatively easy in my university cocoon, save for a few assorted tinsel streamers at work. no TV, no radio, no shopping malls. I did hear Christmas music out at dinner tonight though - it made me want to watch 'Love Actually' and make hot chocolate.

[Yvonne]

I swear that said "with the pussy lips"

and another reason why I did well nominating you for the grossest boardie award. :p

[cdejonge]

What do you want for Christmas?Can't remember if I've posted here before. Anyway, I want you to stop posting crap threads. :)

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Ive got my Big Day Out ticket

Brother got me the Xmen3 DVD and Im gettin Iced Earth's Alive In Athens 3-cd box set :cool:

[cdejonge]

Ive got my Big Day Out ticketI'm getting my BDO ticket for Christmas too. Yay, Grumma will be there!

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Can't remember if I've posted here before. Anyway, I want you to stop posting crap threads. :)

Nothing wrong with this thread Cambo.
So long as he doesnt make another for what you GOT for xmas

[cdejonge]

Yeah, wasn't too bad for him. Although there have been 3 other Christmas-related threads posted lately.

[tainted_love]

I want a Gretsch Brian Setzer Hotrod, in orange probably.
And money, preferably in a sack with a dollar sign on it.
And a Fender Supersonic combo amp, in blonde, of course.


We can all hope, eh?

[Marv From NZ]

I wouldn't mind one of my brothers getting me one of those special "100 cans of Export Gold Beer for $100" deals from the liquor mart for Xmas. I'd actually really enjoy it...

[The Dying Start]

I wouldn't pay a dollar for a can of cats piss.

[Marv From NZ]

Neither would I. Who would?

[Colezy]

I don't really want anything for christmas. Mum and Dad payed for the wireless router to go with my laptop, so that's my present from them. My birthday is the second week of Jan too, so if I want anything, I'll ask then!

I'll be at work from 10am - 4pm anyway, and Mum will be working too, so I think we're just having tea together. The Saturday before xmas will be spent with my Pop for lunch and then at a family friends place that night. On the friday night is my work xmas party, so by xmas night I will be partied out...almost! :p

[Mirm]

I never know what I want for christmas, probably because I don't actually NEED anything. And i loooove surprises.
As a kind of rule, I never buy anybody anything useful either. And its always things that I like. A jack-in-the-box for an 85 year old woman? Sounds good to me!
All of my immediate family is pretty poor this christmas, because my mother doesnt get paid for about 9 weeks and my dad isnt working any more, so I'm making a few things for some people, and cheaping-off wherever I can.
I'm making a few tshirts for my boyfriend, i managed to get some sweet bargains for my family. i just need to get a few things for my friends now and then thats all!
I havent put my tree up yet, if I get time this weekend then I might do it, but I dont know where the crap I'm going to put it, the house is just too freaking small!
My aunt and uncle are coming up to stay, which is awwwesome, and we'll make shitloads of food and eat all day, and then in the evening I usually go out to Hamish's and get drunk all night and most of boxing day.

[punkface!]

This is our first Christmas as a family, so I think it's going to be pretty big.
I got Indie a swing set and heaps of wooden toys, stuffed toys and one of those Fisher Price... car things... that help them learn to walk.
And I got Marly a Batman bust, which is like 30 cm high. A Sora action figure. 50 years of Playmate. Zelda: Twilight Princess for Wii. Uhh, and some other crap that I forget.
I made my mum a photo album and filled it with photos and wrote about them (I was running out of money) and got her March of the Penguins on DVD.
I got Miriam something awesome. But I havent found anything for Tegan yet because she likes lame things.
I also bought all my uncles and grandparents and stuff presents, so I now have about $100 in my bank account.
But that's okay.

I'm mostly looking foward to christmas dinner. I still have no idea what to cook though.

This is our tree.

[State_Of_Emergency]

I don't really mind what I get for Christmas.

This year.. I have a few ideas.

SOE CD/DVD and SOE tour shirt
Cloud Room and Eskimo Joe CD
Ministry Of Sound 2007 Annual
a hug would be nice :p

I got some good pressies so far from friends and that..

Bluetooth Wireless USB for phone
512 MB memory card
Chocolates
Bookmark
Earrings

I gave a TLE calendar I made myself to Erin for xmas.
I am sending e-cards out to people too :D


Edit: oooh, I love your tree punkface!! Awesome :D

[Rhiannon]

The part I love most is every year we get a real tree. The smell of the pine through the house is awesome. That's when it smells like Christmas.

[dirty man]

our tree is about 4ft and made of some platsic shit that falls apart


merry christmas

[punkface!]

Yeah, ours is meant to light up through the magic of fibreoptics or something. but I put it up at the start of November because I was way excited and never turned it off, then last week the lightbulb at the base burnt out and we need a screw driver to change it.
Not that we don't have a screw driver, Marly's just lazy.

[Jake]

The part I love most is every year we get a real tree. The smell of the pine through the house is awesome. That's when it smells like Christmas.

I'm selling Xmas trees at work at the moment. There are lots of 'non-drop trees' and some 'spruce trees' which have the nice smell. The non-drop trees drop anyway. I'd much rather get a cool Norwegian tree with a nice smell than some stupid looking tree that drops needles regardless of the name...

[Mirm]

I just put up my tree!
Its not pink and fibre-optic, but its still okay.

[Lowee]

cool Norwegian tree with a nice smell

Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?

[Neryssah]

I started my xmas shopping today. And I'm already half finished. The joys of having hardly anyone to buy for.

[Rhiannon]

My Chrissy shopping will be all very last minute. Worse than usual. I'll go on the 23rd. That way I'll no exactly how much money I have left to spend on people and just go nuts.
Because knowing me, if I shop beforehand I will spend too much on everyone and have no money left for my own plans. I love shopping for people. Almost too much so.

[Evil Chris]

I go on christmas day..I just give old stuff in me house.

[hillaas]

As in you give people stuff that you already own and have used?

[Rhiannon]

Watch the masses beg to get on Evil Chris' Christmas list...

[Neryssah]

Bahaha! Now that's class.

Also, if anyone wants a Christmas card, PM me. I have a heap of spares so I may as well use them :)

[cdejonge]

Luckily this year I don't have to buy for many people. But I haven't gotten much yet. I have no idea what to get my brother and sister-in-law. Any ideas?

And apparently they've spent too much on me again this Christmas. *screams* I hate Christmas. Apart from the food.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

im not doing anything at all for christmas day and that's the way I like it. Srsly, im staying at home by myself.

[cdejonge]

im not doing anything at all for christmas day and that's the way I like it. Srsly, im staying at home by myself.That sounds awesome! Will you have food?

[Marv From NZ]

That's the X-Mas spirit Kylie! :p

[cdejonge]

That's usually my attitude towards NYE :p

[Marv From NZ]

I could never just be at home for NYE, let alone be by myself. Somewhere with a beach suits me just fine.

[Rhiannon]

I've spent every single NYE at home. This year is gonna be weiiiiird.

[Sarah]

Bah.

Hanging out with family on Christmas is cool, but the rest of the shit is just pointless. This year my family are all donating money to animal charities on each others behalf instead of buying crappy Chirstmas presents - it's far superior.

And NYE is always a let down. Expect to have a shithouse time and you might be plesantly suprised!

[Colezy]

Heh. I'll be working NYE as well as xmas, but the cool part is that we get to dress up in 70's/disco style clothes.
The downside is that we have to listen to ABBA songs for THE WHOLE NIGHT. Gah. One or two is ok, but a few hours worth! :p

[Mirm]

im not doing anything at all for christmas day and that's the way I like it. Srsly, im staying at home by myself.

you can come to my house!
my aunt and uncle will be there, and im gonna try and make apple snow, and, umm, it'll be rad!
i think my parents are making me and hamish sleep in the yard so my aunt and uncle can sleep in my room. bumhug.

[cdejonge]

I've spent every single NYE at home. This year is gonna be weiiiiird.With all those TLE forumers around, yes it will be weird :p

my aunt and uncle will be there, and im gonna try and make apple snow, and, umm, it'll be rad!
i think my parents are making me and hamish sleep in the yard so my aunt and uncle can sleep in my room. bumhug.Are you and Kylie both down in Melbourne for NYE?

[Evil Chris]

As in you give people stuff that you already own and have used?

That is correct! Screw the brand new stuff. Meh, I'm part scottish so that explains it.

[Mirm]

being scottish has nothing to do with it. You're just a giant scrooge.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

*from page 7*

Ive been asleep for the past 2 New Years :p

[Sarah]

That is correct! Screw the brand new stuff. Meh, I'm part scottish so that explains it.


Oi, don't give us Scot's a bad name!

[dirty man]

he wont, you've already done it for youselves

[Jawn]

how so? can you explain that?

[Jake]

Scots are awesome. I'm part Scottish and I'm just too cool, I think that's proof enough. At least we know we're crap at sport and don't keep pretending like England do. Plus there's no smoking in bars there, which just wins.

[Mirm]

exactly. SO, this chumps heritage has nothing to do with him being a tightass.
It wouldnt be so bad if he made it sound like he actually put any thought into the gift he gave people. But hes made it sound like he just grabs an old book of the shelf and gives it to the first relative to walk into the room on christmas day.

[AlinaPOW]

I want the complete series of Garfield comics :D
Nothing beats those comics, the movies do absolutely no justice whatsoever to one of my favourite childhood memories.

[jessebelle]

I want the set of Scrubs and The Island (Lano & Woodley) and a camera & TLE dvd but I'm getting the last two... The only other thing is a White Falcon but I'm getting that myself next year!

[Evil Chris]

... I want a Nintendo Wii!!!!!

[The Dying Start]

Those things are potentially dangerous.


Just remember never to Wii into the wind.

[RollOn]

haha it's like when people phone at work to enquire about them.
"I'm after a wii"

[hillaas]

I'm fucked for this christmas.
I have done no shopping yet.
I'd better get a move on i think!

[BeaglesRule]

I really want a Vespa scooter and a guitar, but that's not gonna happen this year. So, I can hope for new Creepers and Bose headphones, a little less pricey.

[Liz]

I want to get my sister a CD.
Something a 9 year old would like.
She listens to mainstream pop stuff.
Can anyone pretty please help? :)

[Mirm]

make her a mix cd of the more upbeat and poppy beatles songs. that way they might become one of her favourite bands and she might get even more into them the older she gets.

[Neryssah]

I'm fucked for this christmas.
I have done no shopping yet.
I'd better get a move on i think!

Yeah, that might be a good idea :p

I've gotta get all mine done by... Wednesday. After that I'll be in a little dump of a town with no shops. Not cool :(

[AlinaPOW]

You know when you're really little and you don't really know what a band is?
Well my mate Josh, for his 7th birthday, when he didn't know a thing about music, was given the Prisoner of Society/Second Solution single. He's never looked back. Maybe this can be one of those opportunitys.
I very much like the Beatles idea though! I wish someone had gotten me into them earlier!

I want the Jackass box set.

I'm really low on cash, and I've got work experience all week, so as far as christmas presents for the family go... I'm screwed. Unless I construct a giant cardboard Santa to surprise them with on Christmas morning...

[Marv From NZ]

Those things are potentially dangerous.


Just remember never to Wii into the wind.

Or Wii onto an electric fence while it's pitch black midnight after you've consumed large amounts of alcoholic beverages.

[Mirm]

most electric fences dont really carry a strong enough current or whatever to actually hurt you. and the stream of urine isnt constant enough or something, either. so pee on them all you want, but just dont put your wang on the wire.

[Jawn]

Myth: Busted!

[Mirm]

there was an electric fence bordering one end of our school, that was a fence shared with a paddock full of cows. (yee-ha!) so yeah.. i can remember one science lesson where our teacher got us to all line up and one person touches the fence who touches the next person, and then we had to zap some kid. that was pretty cool.

also, my science teacher once tried to prove to us something about sound waves, and proving it meant he had to drive past the school at about three times the speed limit.

[hillaas]

What a cool teacher!

[Mirm]

yeah, he was a pretty radical guy, really.

[Jawn]

for christmas I wish every boring thread on here would just vanish and become unrecoverable. That will of course just leave my threads. Oh man a forum with just JawnPolls. Best Internet. Ever.

[Mirm]

you should buy some webspace. jawnpolls.com.

[Liz]

Thank you Alina and Mirm for the CD help. :)

[*M!]

i only want one thing for Christmas and he knows who he is :p

failing that, i want the Beatles Bread Box thinger

and maybe some new headphones

i unfortunately will get none of these things, everything i'm getting for christmas i've bought for myself...

no one else is getting anything from me either unless i fall into some pretty cool alternate galaxy when i actually get time to do some shopping

*M!

[The Dying Start]

most electric fences dont really carry a strong enough current or whatever to actually hurt you. and the stream of urine isnt constant enough or something, either. so pee on them all you want, but just dont put your wang on the wire.

You still get a shock though. In what for most guys is a pretty sensitive area. It probably depends on the current running through the fence....some are quite strong. I remember on year 10 camp Triggy pissed on an electric fence and he was rolling around on the ground holding his mansword for like 5 minutes afterwards. Apparently it was very stingy.

[Neryssah]

Some of them are bad. Ours is something like 16000 volts, but with a really low current. I think. That's what someone told me at least. But anyway, if you touch it it kills and you fall over and can't get up and walk for ages. And then you get really bad headaches for the next few days.

[kelso]

I've already ordered a bunch of TLE goodies
should be coming in pretty soon

yesterday I bought my mom some killer moccasin slip-on shoes with matching snuggle socks ^_^

[dirty man]

they did i thig on mythbusters, but that was an electric railway and nothing happened because the urine wasnt a constant stream when it reached the track

hehe mansword, havent heard that one before

LOL tell that to my friend Julian. He told us he pee'd on it, but he could've put his waca-chang-chang on it aswell, so who REALLY knows, but either way, he was borderline crying a river and in much pain. I've never heard a person swear so much in the space of 5 minutes, but fudge me it was the funniest thing i've ever seen.

I know man. How funny is it. I really don't understand how, as guys, we can laugh so hard when someone else hurts their tallywacker. Because we all know ourselves that it's no laughing matter.
