Oh, to be young again and ask for "games". :D God bless you, Tanner - you made me smile. You want a lot, my young friend.

As you get older, you'll want:
1) one day a week to sleep in - late (I'd be happy with one day a month).
2) one night a month for just my wife and myself to spend alone (dinner, a movie - or a quiet night on the couch watching a DVD).
3) to NOT wake up and feel my bones ache as I slide out of bed.
4) to have an endless supply of firewood - split and neatly stacked by the "wood gnomes" - as I sleep late - LOL.
5) to spend 50 more years with my wondeful wife before God decides to take either of us home.

Since Santa can't give me these things, I'll enjoy the day / season with my family, and forego gifts this year and roll-over to next year's list - very short - a 2009 Dodge Challenger.
That should make it easy on that "merry old elf".

BTW _ ask for the RUSH - Snakes and Arrows MVI/DVD. You can play that in your CD player AND watch the video of how they made the album (here in upstate NY) on your DVD player. It also gets you some neat free downloads. Well worth the extra cost over the CD!. My wife got me a copy for my birthday......after she got us tickets to see them at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center this past summer. I hadn't seen them since 1978 (in Glens Falls, NY). They're every bit as good now as they were then!

1. To be back home with my Wife and Daughter.
2. A big 3'x5' poster of the Challenger.
3. For Metallica to put together a decent album again.:D
--MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM IRAQ EVERYONE!!--

RE: Christmas List
 

For #3, I think they passed the torch to Godsmack or AudioSlave. I could tolerate (just barely) Queen and Elton John covers, but then Bob Seager....why not just throw in Tiny Tim and Egleberg Humperdink in for good measure.

Favorite album (you know our ages right?) from the boys is Ride the Lightening.....they did pretty damn well and shook things up a bit; but they aren't quite Zep in my book!

I understand they have to grow musically and all of that, but I have to agree with you, with the exception of a few songs of Load and Reloaded...not much to be impressed with since the Black album (Spinal Tap, crucial!)

Happy Holidays and do stay safe!!

Ain't that the truth!

RE: Christmas List
 

my parents will hopefuly be picking up the Wii today.

Man, I hate nintendo. i honestly think they are holding back the Wii's until the hype is unbeliveable, then blow all of them out. then there wil be 100 in every store and nintendo will make billions overnight.

Dirty little punks[:@]

Why do the have to be so cruel:([sm=smiley19.gif]

funny story about my #7 on my C-list

My dad and I like Mountain Dew. He wasn't all to awake while driving, so we went into a travel stop on the way out to my grandparents in the country to get a drink. We walk in and go to the fountain.

We had a funny father and son moment.
In a summary it went like this.

He get's a 44oz.
I get a 32 oz.
He gets diet.(hates the feel of the sugar coating on the roof of your mouth)
I get regular.
He's about to fall asleep, so he instantly starts drinking.
I savor my Mountain Dew like always.
He forks out the cash.
I keep on drinking.
Then we get in the car and talk about getting out the cuda
but there's a foot of snow on the ground and as you know muscle cars don't do well in snow.

Merry Christmas

RE: Christmas List
 

1. I would love a trip to WI to see our kids (7 of them) , grand kids (2 of them) and family.
2. one more year of good health with no flair ups.
(I have M.S. but no one knows unless I tell them)
3. Would love to have tool box and tool bill paid off. (A mechanics life- it never ends [&:])

RE: Christmas List
 

I want a Vanishing Point DVD, Tattoo - Blood Red album with Gear Head song (1st played in my Challenger), and to win the lottery. (Last one is tough since I do not buy lottery tickets)

Mostly I would seriously like to find a true life passion. I do not really enjoy what I do for a living and hope to discover what it is I was put here to do. I wish that for all of you as well.

Merry Christmas!

RE: Christmas List
 

Awsure, excellent post and a sentiment probably shared by many (myself included)! Try to be happy until then brother. And Merry Christmas to all!

BTW, your's truly got a Challenger for Christmas! Well....like many I'm sure...a little smaller than I would hope...but looks pretty damned cool! An RC you assemble! So me and the boy will have something to do this week while I'm down here in VA w/ my mom!

Again Merry Christmas to all! :D

RE: Christmas List
 

I almost got the matchbox/hotwheels car lol It looked cool but she desided not lol

RE: Christmas List
 

This year all I really wanted was my Bachelor's Degree with good grades and I got it (3.46 out of 4.00). I wanted to be with all of my cousin's on my dad's side; however, I decided that I should instead visit my other side of the family as a gift to my parents. I wanted to get through Christmas without hearing about losing either a family member or a friend like I had to go through last year and we got that. The material things I wanted I pretty much got, season 8 of the Simpsons, the Simpson Movie, political parody CDs, a season of Beast Wars (forgive me I happen to enjoy the higher tech graphics and the talent of writing a good plot), various other DVDs, and etc.

So tdub, have you gotten your Nintendo Wii yet? I remember when I asked for a Sega Genesis back in 1993 for Christmas and my aunt as well as my then living Grandfather, Great Aunt, Aunt's Boyfriend at the time, and others chipped into it. I was exstatic and I still have it sitting upstairs in my room while it is collecting dust and no longer connected to a TV since we no longer have a TV in that room.

I must admit I'm a little confused on having Mountain Dew on your list. Is it because you aren't allowed to have soda/pop normally, or you don't have the money to spend on that normally, or what? The only thing I ever ask for along those lines is Ski which is very similar to and supposively came out before Mountain Dew under a private brand which is only sold in exclusive areas. And the reason why I ask for that is it is hard to get a hold of where I was living for the last 2 and 1/2 years.
