I got a print out of a Yao Ming jersey that is out of stock from NBA.com. Damn, I can't believe some of the stuff you guys are getting! Looks like several of you got well over $1000 in gifts, yet I can't seem to break the $100 barrier. B
Didn't really get anything exciting...I'll explain down below: Siege of Avalon for PC. (Cheap but somewhat fun RPG game. $20) Miniature pool table thing New shoes Some kind of glass colorful boat ornament that I will NOT use. I just gave it to my mom. And some scratchoff tickets that were not winners. Main reason why I didn't get much was I never really wanted anything in the first place. I already had a PS2, PC, TV, and Rockets tickets. Can't really get much better...well, it could, but I didn't think I could handle much more seeing as how I can barely use the things I got. My parents practically made me get something, so I just got that cheap RPG. Its fun though, but a LOT of reading.
I got a Lava Lamp!!! It RULES!!!! I also got some other crap that is mostly stuff I don't want or need (like a car emergency kit -- I have all that stuff already . . . ) but the thought is nice. But Dude, I got a freaking Lava Lamp!!! I LOVE IT!!!! I'm gonna go buy like a half dozen more and put them all over my office!!
Mostly money to pay my first payment on my recently bought laptop Gap sweater Banna Republic sweater Perry Ellis sweater quickSilver watch Tommy Hilfiger Wallet and a trip to the mall with my friend and he owes me a gift
WoW! 20" monitor...Im green with envy! Digital cameras seem to be hoppin this year I got one too, a Olympus D-550, after dealing with that crappy old 35mm camera at the last Rockets game, my wife figgered I needed somethin better for the next one..thanx babe! and a cool BBQ tool kit to go with my new pit.. the new Myth book another Discworld book (woohoo, TPratchett rulez!) Minority Report DVD new 3Doors Down cd (comes with a DVD of stuff from their first album) Thats about it...enough for me! I thought I did pretty well.. BTW...speaking of 20"+ monitors...if anyone wants one, I know a guy that is selling a 21" fixed frequency Sony Trinitron monitor for under $200 for anyone in envy of DoD's new acquisition.. Hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas..

I always wanted a 20"+ monitor, but those things usually weighed about 60-80 lbs. No way in hell was I going to put that monstrosity on my desk. Then I got an early Christmas present from my parents and lo-and-behold the 20" LCD monitor... all 20 or so lbs of it... and it freed up a ton of room once I replaced my 19" flat screen CRT monitor. *drool* Geek heaven.

Being Jewish doesn't get me much for Christmas for some reason And I had that Russian mail order bride online and it's still in shipping. Stupid Amazon.com.
Ill take a pic and send it to ya...or post it here....your choice. I used the before mentioned 21" Sony for a little while...and like drapg said, It is a monster...dont think it's 75lbs...but pretty close.. I finally retrieved my deskspace back by switching back to a 17"..not as much screen..but I got my workspace back. considering Im normally about 2 years behind in acquiring technology, I figger I will get a large flat screen by 2005. Unless I snag a good job when I get my degree in about 6 months.. Then all bets are off!
Pole, your email address from that email you sent me is bouncing. See the MadMax "bachelor" thread about the tickets.
