Christmas 2012

[rustypup]

you know what they say about people who experience periods of extreme emotion, right?

Code: Select all

:): 

in all earnestness - i am unmoved over the silly season... aside from the obligatory family functions, (arguments), and slightly better than average meal diversity...

Oh come on puppy - the decorations in the shops are pretty. I love driving around at night and looking at all the Christmas lights that people have put up

[rustypup]

the decorations in the shops are pretty.

you're a woman. it's hardly surprising that you're attracted to shiny things.

the decorations are an insult. for some reason, just because they have deigned to disfigure their stores with all manner of potential choking hazards and january's non-biodegradable landfill, i'm supposed to be utterly convinced that the retailers are all a bunch of fun-loving chaps interested in my spiritual and emotional well-being and are decidedly *not* a bunch of money-grubbing fatherless-offspring looking to milk me for all i'm worth in an orgy of pointless gift-swapping...

pass..

[StarBound]

... orgy ...

Sorry I lost the train of thought when I hit that word.

Come now rusty. Ever wanted that pair of red and white striped socks that you don't see the point in buying? Now you have a valid excuse. Buy it for yourself. No ones judging you ...except yourself.

Or stand infront of that Hydron collider. You need to get more positive!

Shamelessly ripped from the picture thread ...3 years back.

The awesome thing about Christmas is that I get to buy the "kids" presents that we all enjoy. So far I'm thinking a PS3.

[StarBound]

I can actually recommend the xbox gamer special if your near a Makro. PM me for pros and cons of PS3/Xbox 360.

[Synthesis]

I don't really need convincing. Whatever's the cheapest and has the cheapest games. I've never had consoles and still not really interested. Kids can play their games, I'll just use it as a media center.

earlier this year we were thinking of getting a xbox but rather went with the PS3...
you can play normal dvds and blue-rays through it... we stream movies from the external through the desktop and a wireless network...

we bought ours at CNA on special and got 2 controllers and games instead of the normal just one controller with the consol...
buying each component of the move kit is expensive but there are specials where you get a game, motion eye, motion controller and navigation controller together for R800 less than buying each component separate...
just shop around

[StarBound]

I prefer PS3 but Makro has that super gamer bundle for xbox that is just too good to ignore if your looking for a gamer perspective.

For the puppy

[StarBound]

I don't approve. Looks cool but don't approve.

[rustypup]

precisely... Cthulu may be many things, but if there's any green on him it's of a more pustulent, putrid or infectious looking nature...

you would invite an age of torment for employing the services of this sub-standard idol...

[Tribble]

He not the genuine article? I was fooled!

For rusty:

Came across this and brought back some Christmas memories. I don't think kids today appreciate things like this like we did back in the day.

i really wouldn't know... before my time... are those, like, some form of, like, torture device?

the only xmas album you will ever need to buy for anyone.....ever...

Spoiler (show)

high thee hence, puny humans, lest he feasts on your jiggly bits..

[KALSTER]

For rusty:

Sleigh Ride etc

That was awesome!

[StarPhoenix]

Surprised puppy has not posted in this thread with the sheer joy that Xmas would bring to his life...

i don't celebrate mindless consumerism... anyone extracting even an ounce of conviviality or comradeship from this farcical practice is a deluded shut-in...

why should this one annual celebration be the single period during which goodwill and community are revived? why not everyday? why do we need "special" occasions in order to practice or experience communal harmony?..

bah humbug...

I think that what Rusty is saying is that we need more staff incentives, barely controlled office debauchery, and gallons of free Jameson....



Besides......can you imagine having to pretend to love the rest of humanity for the other 364 days?

[StarBound]

Finally! We are in that festive part of the year. ...its a bit lacking this year. Slap on that xmas cheer with your avatars people

[Tribble]

Ama is gonna kill us - but ok. I will go in search of one

[Synthesis]

Ok, fine, even though you don't see mine often...

[Tribble]

Still a pessimist I see
