Hopefully that won't be too long from now.

pfffffft you call that snow?

Try living in Ottawa for one winter. That ain't shit.

My first thought on seeing that snow picture was "Am I missing something?" That looks to qualify as annoying, I might consider layers.

Also note in picture it is fresh snow as it is snowing (yet again):



i.e. fresh snow is squeaky and therefore sneaking is not an option! So both of you can both put your epeens away and stop measuring the snowfall.

Well I bet you got a lot of nice care packages from home though! And if you didn't, then you just PM me your address and I'll send you one!

XD you really should experience a Canadian winter at least once. Sneaking through snow is easier than you may think. LOVE the facepalm btw XD

Yeah, it's because nobody likes you. Also, Grandmom had already started her "List to end all lists" about an hour or so before you posted your thread. Probably more the "no one liking you" thing...

My haul was mixed. I got a trip to Cancun! (YAY!) To see my little sister get married... (Yay?) And I get to sleep on the floor of someone else's hotel room... (meh.) The bar is apparently only open for 2 hrs, and the Mexican planner thought we were insane when they asked for champagne... (ok, now they're just kicking me while I'm down). I also got a nice Hawaiian shirt... which I have to carefully fold up and keep nice for the wedding ceremony. Somehow my parents just turned "WOOHOO!! VACATION!!!" into annoying obligation. I hope I don't inherit this gift.

Your topic was NOT deleted. It's called merging, which was explained in this thread and this is the post:

I know one year my sister-in-law sent me this beanie type old man golf hat that was absolutely hideous and we couldn't figure out WHY!!?

I'd trade everything I got for a trip to Cancun....but I'd have to have a bed. My bones are too old for the floor. LOL

FYI, you will inherit A LOT from your parents no matter how hard you try not to. Trust me, I've been down that road. LOL

[Omniblast]

not a epic haul for me, but I got...

Rock Band 2 Special Edition (from me)
Spiderman Blu-Ray (from me)
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm (from me)
2nd G15 Keyboard (1st edition) (from me)
Sweater (from fiancee)
Bose Earphones (from fiancee)
Bum gloves (from fiancee)
$50 Best Buy gift card (from my little cousin)

[Ellipses]

I got a $15 gift card and some snacks.

(My family hasn't had their Christmas yet, and my boyfriend's hasn't had their Yule. So the real stuff hasn't happened yet.)

And we bought ourselves an HDTV and BD player.

Yeah, that and the lack of alcohol are kind of my turn-offs... I'm too old to sleep on the floor. Already played that game for uncle sam. My roommate put it: "That's not really a gift, dude, that's more like an obligation." Oh well, I have 2 hrs, and a bunch of British in-laws to drink under the table. We have a new challenger!


Meh, I'm much more pleased about the pot full of sarma my mom sent me home with. <3

Went to Circuit City to spend my $50 gift card from my brother today. Man, those idiots there are so epically stupid that if I didn't really want the sale I would've walked out of the store cussing loud as hell. Before I went to Circuit City I drove over to Best Buy to get a sales paper from them so I could grab COD:WAW (34.99) and Midnight Club: Los Angeles (37.99) for BB's price. Circuit City has reorganized their store again, the place where the "New Games" 360 games used to be are now mixed in with the older games. I stroll over there and find a display case for MC:LA and I stood in that spot for about 20 mins trying to find COD and it was not there at all. Girl employee walked by and asked me if I needed help, of course this idiot was most likely a seasonal employee because she knew nothing. I asked her if those were the "Only Xbox 360 games they had," and she replied "Yes, these are mostly the new games and there are some older cheaper ones over here on the side. If you find one of these games that are a Display model, take it to the front and they'll swap it out." She then walked away and got asked questions by other customers. So I kinda strolled around the area for a minute and stumbled upon a game display case with the brand new games in it including COD:WAW and of course there were 2 copies left in the case. I stood there for a good 10 mins waiting to grab somebody and question them but nobody showed up. Eventually I walked over to the camera area and I asked this other idiot to get me somebody to help me in games. I assume he called them and nobody showed up. So I keep standing there in front of the case and there was a lady in the isle next to me looking through the bargain bin Wii games, I looked this employee dead in his face while he looked back and he walked over and asked her if she needed help. I kinda brushed it off but after he finished helping her, the asshole walked right by me as I was staring him dead in his face again so I stopped him and got him to get the keys from someone and open the case.

I'm like DUDE WTF!!!!! I could've been out of the store about 45 mins earlier if the idiot girl had told me there were games in the case at the end of the isle. To top it all off I saw my ex-girlfriend's brother there.....

Ya, one drink and I'm drunk so the alcohol part doesn't bother me. LOL Good luck with the in-laws though, those British are notoriously good drinkers!

/em looks around for Jarre!
