Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted August 21, 2006 Still, can't beat my grandparents for great presents, I may have menitoned this before. Me and my brother got given matching silk cravats once; no-one knows why, the secret went to the grave with them. Not only were cravats a ridiculous selection on so many levels anyway, I was 8 and my brother was 12 years old at the time, so even more puzzling. Well, if the socks match the cravat, you're set, wardrobe-wise that is. BTW - the socks sound HOTT! Not as hot as the matching cravats. My Sister and I had a similar experience with deerstalkers one year. I bet your mother wasn't evil enough to make you wear them to school though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough, I don't like wearing black thongs either, they always show through my white skirts...shows a distinct lack of class. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted August 22, 2006 I don't even know what I want for Christmas yet. It's f****n August. Why would I think about it? I'm with you on that one Banshees, some shops over here have their Christmas decco's up already, holy sh*t the schools broke up for summer in July and the shops had their 'Back to school' sale about a week after. These sales people think ahead way to far, stay within a month ahead, I mean there jumping two seasons. That should almost be made illegal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

football_fan 42 Posted November 1, 2006 It is just the beginning of November and I am already sick of Christmas, despite enjoying it in the past. They have already started puting up Christmas stuff all over my little neighborhood. The malls are all decked out with Christmas decorations and radio stations are already playing Christmas carols. They seem to be starting the Christmas season earlier each year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarolAnn 926 Posted November 2, 2006 It is just the beginning of November and I am already sick of Christmas, despite enjoying it in the past. They have already started puting up Christmas stuff all over my little neighborhood. The malls are all decked out with Christmas decorations and radio stations are already playing Christmas carols. They seem to be starting the Christmas season earlier each year I haven't heard any carols yet but the stores were decked for Xmas around here weeks ago. Garden Ridge (one of those big box decorating stores) already has its artificial trees on sale. So far I have successfully blocked it out, but around here the onslaught begins with the ChiOmega Christmas Hoorah and general sappiness section. It's this weekend.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted November 2, 2006 'A Christmas Dream' 'I dreamt it was Christmas Day And I was riding along on a train The air was very cold And the skies were grey and plain I walked up the steps of a library To find a single pay phone But I only had a quarter My wallet was all alone So there I dialed the numbers But I could not dial them right All my ears could here were The operators voice rejecting my call that night And then I pleaded to this one lady Even she could not get my call through Though she tapped on my shoulder And said 'Do you know that girl stairing at you?' I then ducked behind the book case As I could not be seen Probably made a fool out of myself Cause I was sitting right between Some crazy old woman Who cried as she spoke And a grey haired middle aged man Who said 'Doesn't it suck to be broke?' So there I pulled out any old book Bravely stood up and sat down in a chair Nervous and shaking since I was behind This lovely girl who i've forever known with long dark hair And when I opened up this book Flipped the pages and took a look inside I saw many green dollar bills Like that crazy old woman 'I could have cried' It was Christmas after all My awareness grew merry I was constantly talking as I lit up a cigerette within the library Some lady kept asking me questions We spoke of the seasons and animals for a while Moments came still and silent That lovely girl just listened and gave me a smile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted November 2, 2006 Finally a decent alternative to 'Jingle Bells'. Got a tune yet Banshees? I haven't decided if it will be a song yet. But it really happened in a dream. The phone wouldn't dial, some old woman cried as she spoke, I found about 100 dollars in a book, I smoked in the library 'Normally I would be thrown out' and that lovely girl was watching everything I said. It's all true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest coke is for life, not just for c Posted November 20, 2006 I suppose, if Santa really does have to deliver all those presents in one night, leaving some coke out for him is probably a good idea. It explains the white beard, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Almond 1 Posted November 20, 2006 I flippin' love Christmas me. Nowt to do with religion for me, but I love having time off work to increase the size of my ever expanding stomach. Food, booze, snooze. It's quite a "good" time of year for suicide, isn't it? The reading of good wills to all men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLC 9 Posted December 2, 2006 "Most Dangerous Toys" 2006. This could cause a nasty accident. Does anyone know if Clive Dunn has young grandchildren? Strange, I thought that these were the most dangerous toys: (big gun) and (big plane) and (big tank) Those'll teach grandchildren a game or two. regards, Hein Surely the above three are for upholding international justice and keeping the peace? If I fell over onto one of the four objects above, I know which one would have my eye out... Still, none of them are as dangerous as running with scissors not pointing downwards. No 1 killer in most scissor saturated societies I heard. From a drunken varant who'd really let himself go, but that's no reflection on his grasp of the troubles in today's harsh world. Back to xmas, I've got someone one of those damned clever Puzzleball thingies. Anything with the opening line 'Once we thought the world was as flat as a puzzle, now we know it's as round as...... a Puzzleball!' in its TV advert can only be a force for good, and not full of its own importance by any means.

Harvester Of Souls 40 Posted December 2, 2006 Glorious Commercialmas to everyone! Let's hope several islands don't get washed away this year and make it a bummer for everyone. I mean there's nothing worse than that to detract from the season of self indulgence. Selfish bastards. Why couldn't they drown in the New Year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted December 2, 2006 I'm composing my bumper Christmas quiz as I always do at this time of the year. Anyone know any really good quiz questions (not that Ask The Family crap), quirky but not impossible that would work for teenage kids as well as adults? Not much of an ask is it?
