I'm worth $89!
Well - I can give you $89 dollars worth... I might need some mouthwash though...

I once drove all the way to Nottingham and back (4 hour round trip) to get my evil ex a kebab from his favourite kebab shop. He was working and I wasn't, so I dropped him off at the station and drove up there to the place that used to be local to him, and he always raved about. However in order to make it a total surprise, I told him we'd probably just get take-away that night. So when I picked him up from the station he said he'd been starving, so had eaten on the train home.

He still manfully tried to eat his kebab, but it wasn't the same. There were quite a few situations where I tried to surprise him with something where it really didn't work out. I guess the universe knew we were a bad idea. Or I only remember the bad times - whichever works for your personal ideology.

Right - so I know three people who don't have me as their giftee (unless they're great bluffers...)

I've already sent my gift to my secret santa recipient. I hope I picked a good one. I strayed from the food theme based upon posts they made on the Cellar.

Let's put it this way. If you played strip poker with any of the three of us, we'd end up naked.

Of course you'd get the same results with chess, checkers, lawn darts (ouch).....:rolleyes:

How come we aren't making our giftee's wait til Christmas to open their presents? It's just not right. No one should be allowed to open gifts before Christmas Day, Santa would not be happy.

My victim is local anyway, damnit. :rolleyes:

That's why, during Christmas time, I switch to Jewish! Earlier presents=much happiness!

And if rich is getting a hooker...I wonder what Lj and jinx are getting...

I am adding a more affordable alternative gift idea. This is about half the price of the other and much more funner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaWoo82zNUA

Dear Santa ...
anything I can eat
anything I can listen to
anything I can knit with
preferred colours purple, green, red, blue
yours expectantly (if it's not too late)
