Just began my Yuletime-wrapping with a box of Legos big enough to cram both Homunculi into. They both love Legos, and I have never been more excited to give a gift!
...Them being my childhood Legos may have something to do with this feeling. :)
...Yes, I am wrapping gifts for children naked. They are not here, there is nothing inappropriate about this.

I NEED A GAG GIFT!!! STAT!!!
EDIT: Because Now I'm depressed. (Definitely in Stage 2, heading quickly towards Stage 3.)
An idea for one, or receive one?
Orthos and Freehold totally messed me up!
Apparently it's "Old people buying gag gifts night" because there are entirely too many old people explaining their gag gifts to me.
Listen guy, I don't need to know why you're 75 and looking for toy airplanes and police officer costumes at Christmas, I'm not here to judge.
7 minutes later...

I haven't read it either, but I've read enough of the reviews and analyses as well as listened to Scint's more educated rants on the subject (she was pretty much forced to read it by someone who told her she couldn't critique it if she hadn't) to know the basics of the problems with it, and those are just the ones I can immediately call to mind.

I am glad that man was safe. Oof.

Poohie. I've been on my feet the whole morning. Christmas lunch planning is no joke... Granted, it's a good, happy type of busy.
Even if you're buying in, you need to get the right vendors.
Family wanted to eat out, but on such short notice a lot of good restaurants are fully booked on Christmas day. Or are exorbitant because they offer free flow alcohol and my family doesn't drink, I don't drink that much.
And no you can't take that out, it's part of the package.

People already have Christmas day booked full? It's 20 days away!

Hell yeah. And I don't trust my luck looking for more restaurants as they are getting full...
Also can't be too far from the subway station as not everyone has a car(which refers to those restaurants that aren't so full yet).
I prefer to go to the venue to see it in person and do my research, you know...

You and I live in different parts of the world, my friend.
I am in the San Francisco Bay Area, where dining out is taken very seriously.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? I'm betting most better restaurants were booked at least 6 months in advance.

Scarring my kids' brains for life, one trauma at a time:
- NobodysWife suggested I show Impus Major the Edward sihouette
- We scrolled down and showed him the Bella womb. He was nonplussed
- Scrolling down, we encountered the Sparkle Dildo
- Impus Major curled up on the floor in a corner, making whimpering sounds and barking.
As he put it once he recovered, "What is WRONG with people?!?!?!"

Sparkle Dildo needs to be a My Little Pony.

You know, like people who breed horses rent studs from other ranches?
Sparkle Dildo could be the MLP rent-a-stud.

Heh 12 people is going to cost a bomb. Not to mention my young nephew cries when he sits in a plane. He's very loud.
I personally feel that Christmas is the time you spend with family, and a good home party suits me just fine. At least you don't have to be in the same restaurant with completely strangers.
I find that Christmas is the time restaurants jerk up their prices and try to burn a hole out of your pocket. I also think that Christmas has been getting waaay too commercialized for my taste, but hey that's a rare bit of philosophy that I occasionally sprout.
I'm not the sort into philosophy you know.

I'm not sure what's more alarming, at this point:
1) that the Twilight-inspired sex toy has been specifically mentioned in the thread twice (by my last count)
*or*
2) that it has been . . . redirected into My Little Pony branding . . . .
I didn't even make it far enough down the "vampire sappy opera 'swag' display" to have noticed it at all.
Thanks, gang.
Nothing. For nobody!

Regarding girls and boys and dating etc: You can't understand human romantic interaction without understanding that a significant part of both sexes are rather... primitive. These people act like throwbacks to earlier ages. This is where we find violence as a solution, mobbing, vile gossip, appreciation of violence, and so much more shit. This isn't really about intelligence or the lack thereof, nor about interests. It is the "primal face of humanity", if you will. It's why humanity must have laws. And apparently it's exciting to us too, given the consumption of this in media. It isn't just Twilight, is it?

Dude in front of me at the grocery store got his ass kicked recently.
I'm guessing it was deserved.

You ARE a youngster, aren't you?
We've been complaining about the commercialization of Christmas here in the U.S. for at least 40 years now. It's become a tradition:
- Trim the tree
- Put out grandpa
- Argue about the commercialization of Christmas

TRUE STORY: Last year when I was chaperoning the high school I had to bust a group of guys for talking too loud too late at night. Their conversation? Whether the Bolshevik Revolution or the Holocaust caused greater human suffering.
Not exactly what you expect when you're sent to quiet down a group of high school guys in a hotel room at 11:30 pm at night. The guys playing "foul sugar liquid pong"? THEM I understood...

Sissyl is right^ one of the things that always seems to go back to primitive behaviors is that sort of thing.

Yes, I'm young. Probably the youngest member here =)
Oh yeah that's really an odd topic to discuss.
Generally conversations with me if it ain't about food, is probably about D&D or other computer games. Of course you could talk to me about the great outdoors as well, I'm always interested in seeing Fluffy, furry friends in their natural habitat.

Also note that sexuality IS a rather primal aspect of us all. The emotions we thrill sexually to haven't changed significantly in human evolution. Any romantic contact needs to play into that. And of course, alcohol helps focus this.
Don't generalize. It's both sexes. But #notallhumans.

I won a million dollars in the lottery the other day. I decided it would be proper to give a quarter to charity. Now I only have $999,999.75 left.
Just don't forget to share with your friends.
