Since Christmas is only a few weeks away, I assume everyone by now already knows what they want for Christmas, at least for the most part. Or, if you've distanced yoruself from your family, you at least know what you're going to buy yourself. So, basically, just put in this thread what you want for Christmas (realistic gifts please...).
Myself, I never ask for much, so my list merely has 7 things: - 5GB Apple iPod MP3 Player - 2003 Star Trek Ships Of The Line Calender (to be supplied by girlfriend) - 2003 Star Trek Stardate 365-day Calender - Frank Herbert's Dune - U2's "Best Of 1990 - 2000" - James Bond 007 Special Edition DVD Box Set - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
I plan to get about 5 of those things, and then a lot of clothing.

"my list has 7 things"
Tee-hee.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 138) on :
I don't even have a list, then again this is my first Christmas that I will be away from home.
Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
Well compared to what I'd ask for as a child, 7 is small. And 1 wasn't really a request, I just needed something for my girlfriend to get for me.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Bah, Christmas. 'Tis the season for commercialized crap. Ever year, my mother asks me what I want for Christmas, and I tell, "I don't have a clue." She's asked me this question six times in the past week. It's getting annoying. I'm ready to tell her, "A cute boyfriend with a massive penis to make me his crying little bitch." I don't think that joke will go over too well, though.

Try it anyway.

Don't worry about getting Dune, just ask for sleeping pills you will get the same results.

Possibly because you wouldn't be joking. Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :

I've already read Dune years ago though, I just want a copy of my own.

I wish that things would get better.

If I were to tell my mother that joke, I'd probably be hearing about her desire for grandchildren a hell of a lot more often than I do now. Bleh.

P4 3.0 MHz? Far be it from me to ever correct anyone when it comes to computers, but don't you mean GHz?
Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
DOH!!!.
Sorry, 3.0 GHz.
And I'm supposed to be a computer geek. Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

I can't help but notice that in this list, the first and penultimate items are a wee bit more expensive than the statement "merely" would imply.

Siegfried, I asked that from my friends a few years ago and got a nice Spanish pre-med student.
Anyways, what do I want this year? Let me see...
I already bought the 20GB iPod for Windows, but that new Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen 20GB MP3 player looks as good and cheaper than my iPod.
The Japanese Sony Vaio SRX7S from Dynamism.com looks nice, lighter, and has a bigger hard drive than my Vaio FX-340.
SimCity 4 definately.
And that cute blond boy my sister works with at the Gap wouldn't hurt either.

Ah, to spend the rest of my days sponging off of a rich wife.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
By posting two pictures, you ruined any chance of anyone making a joke about how you actually meant the little girl or the brass pig. Damn you.
And neither of those pictures features yourself. How do we know you didn't just go find them somewhere?
And, apparently, pink hair and greenish eyes make for an odd effect...
Posted by Nimrod Pimding (Member # 205) on :
I was gonna say Johnny Winter but the second picture rules that out.
Cutesy lass, btw!

I was debating which picture of hers to upload, she suggested both so I uploaded both, so nyah Posted by Tora Ziyal (Member # 53) on :
For Yule/Christmas, I wish Shik gets a break in his current problems and those he'd encounter the rest of his life, and that he comes out wiser but none too worse for wear.
Oh, and I wish for world peace.
Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
Like that's ever going to happen....
The World Peace thing, that is.
Posted by StarFire (Member # 748) on :
I guess asking for a decent, honest, trustworthy, mature, guy who likes the stuff I do, isn't realistic, is it?
Guess I'll just take cash.
Posted by Tora Ziyal (Member # 53) on :
Tahna: It's hardly going to happen if nobody wishes for it.
Posted by E. Cartman (Member # 256) on :
There is certainly not a lot of room for optimism...

Yes, they're out there, but money is just always so much more fun. Why have a boyfriend when you can buy a Lightning Saix or a Blade Liger?

You can always buy sex and related personal services instead of a boyfriend since the customer is always right.

Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
I wanna spend Christmas with my best friend... or at least be able to see her, and hug her....
That's all I really want this year.... but since I'm not likely to get it, I also asked for subwoofer grills and a vacuum...
Not the best substitutes, but I had to ask for SOMETHING....
But if I could spend time with Lacey, it would indeed be the best Christmas ever....

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo. Nononononono....the customer is NEVER right. Always wrong. I hate that frigging line. I hear it about 200+ times a day at work too.
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
StarFire, I work at American Eagle Outfitters... so I know that line is shit. I was kidding when I posted that.

I used to hear that stupid line a lot too. And so I came up with my own slightly modified version:
"The customer is never wrong."
I suppose it's semantics, but there's a difference between not being wrong and being right. Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
The problem, of course, is that the customer quite often is wrong. In the extreme.
Posted by MinutiaeMan (Member # 444) on :
Very true. I suppose you just have to consider the saying as an attitude than a literal truth.

If I had two wishes that I could wish for this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace.. and the second would be for $30 million a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account.
You know, if I had three wishes that I could make this holiday season, first, of course, would be for all the children to get together and sing.. the second would be for the $30 million every month to me.. and the third would be for all encompassing power over every living being thing in the entire universe.
And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, first would be the crap about the kids.. second would be for the $30 million.. the third would be for all the power.. and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year for an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought about slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina somebody, I can't think of her name, of course my lovely wife could come, too. She's behind me 100% on this, I guarantee you.
Wait a minute, maybe that sex thing should be the first wish! So, if I made that the first wish, because, you know, it could all go boom tomorrow, and then what have you got? No, no.. the kids singing would be great, that would be nice. No, no, who am I kidding! I mean, they're not gonna be able to get all those kids together! I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible! It's more trouble than it's worth! So, we reorganize: here we go. First, the sex - we go with that; second, the money. No! We go with the power second, then the money, and then the kids. Oh, wait, oh geez! I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay.. revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in Hell! That would be the fourth wish! And of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of peace and harmony.
