Xmas Booty Call

Christmas is over for another year and I'm left with a pile of loot from friends and family, some of it wonderful, some of it junque. Hey, nobody can say that we didn't do our part in propping up the ailing US retail economy. Here's a list of my haul, for your voyeuristic Xmas pleasure:

Friends

The Tao of Elvis
Eeyore's Gloomy Little Instruction Book
The Book of Tiki
365 Stupidest Things Ever Said Calendar
Shaft In Africa DVD (rent or buy this NOW!!)
Real Dumb Laws Game
Neon Flamingo Light
Tiki Decoupage Wall Plaque
Trader Vic's Pepper Shakers

Family

The Polar Bear Waltz
Leather Jacket
Two Towers  DVD
Beard and Moustasche Trimmer
Bag of Gummi Bears

I also ordered my son this Soyo Dragon KT600 Barebone Kit. We made a deal to go halfsies on it. It's a lot better than my rapidly aging dual-processor, 1-GHz Pentium III with nVidia Quadro2 Pro graphics card, but I've still got a slight edge over him thanks to my fabulous flatpanel cinema display.

Happy Festivus Everyone!

May the true meaning of Festivus fill you this season as you air your grievances, engage in feats of strength, and reflect upon the tinsel-less Festivus pole. Use these handy forms to help organize your Festivus activities, or send out those last-minute Festivus cards.

Love,

MrBaliHai, MrsBaliHai, and their li'l mugs
