Does anyone have to buy or expect to receive any unusual gifts this christmas? I mean really unusual. What are they?
I was asked by my girl to buy her the new pink album

A US to UK plug adaptor for my girlfriend. I bet she'll be overjoyed when she opens that one.

I have to note, at this point, that I have bought some better things too.

Many years ago. When I was a student. My mum bought me 1100 Catering teabags for chrismtas. AND THAT WAS MY MAIN PRESENT.

I must really have done something to annoy her that year. But the tea parties we had, well they were legendery.

I can remeber many many years ago I got a triple pack of underwear of an older aunt. Where she got them god only knows. Think she may have bought them dunring the late 60's and held on to em. The most offensive pant was a pair of camo print ones but like the navy camo in shades of blue. Ironically these are the kind of things you see burds in FHM shoots wearing theses days. Maybe I shouda kept a hold of em for the girl.

I feel compelled to buy my Grandfather one of those devices to trim nostril hair, he is otherwise an attractive well groomed man, but for some reason just lets his nostril hair gooooo. If anything I'm sure it would get a good chuckle on Christmas Day.

Does anyone have any experience w/this strange but necessary tool

Could be useful for shaving your name on the side of a mouse

Or two, then having them race one another.

You could use a lady remington to 'shave out a track' in the carpet. Best of ten laps

There was a pub a couple of blocks away from my place when I lived in Venice, CA that used to have turtle racing on at least one night a week.

Im not a big fan of the turtle to be honest. Why is it they move so slow. What is the damn point. Fuck that. At least they could move a a more moderate pace. Boring bastards

For the first time, my girlfriend and I have decided to skip Xmas. On Xmas eve we are going out for dinner, then to our local record store so we can listen to some new tunes on Xmas day, then we are off for a long stroll o what will hopefully be a deserted beach. Ahhh I hate crowds.

And for New Years you ask, well have I got a surprise for her. Some of the ol' magic shrooms and an open desert at midnight. I can't wait!!!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, but take a moment to reflect how lucky we truly are.
