Just Under The Wire

It's 11:35 on Christmas night. I should have been in bed a half an hour ago.

I just got back from spending the evening with the girlfriend's family where MUCH good food was consumed and the white elephant gift exchange was a lot of fun.

I contributed a 19" color TV boxed and wrapped in newspaper and duct tape. I had two of them sitting in my closet with absolutely no use for them. It was a surprise hit.

I came away with a gift box of Adidas cologne, body wash, etc. I'm a little leary about wearing a cologne named after what I associate with smelly sneakers, but what the hell.

It's now 11:41, so I have to wrap this up if this is going to qualify as a Christmas post.

I poached the poster below from Joe's Big Blog.



Oh, and just to cleanse your XO palate after my Festivus post, I sincerely hope you all had a wonderful Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) with your loved ones and are feeling all warm and fuzzy.

11:49. Just made it! Now it's beddy bye time.

P.S. - I've been hearing A LOT of sirens on 291 here in Independence for the past 45 minutes. I hope it's just the usual Christmas meth busts and nothing that involves terrorists, biblical disasters, or you and yours.

11:55! Jeez, I love living life on the edge!

G'night bitches.

It must have been a feeding frenzy when the TV showed up in the gift exchange.

Hey...I got cologne and "body wash," too. Maybe someone's trying to imply something.

spyder - conversation went like this:

them - "What is it? Oh my god, it's a tee vee! Does it work?"

me - "Yep. It works just fine."

them - "Is it black and white?"

me - "Nope. It's color."

them - "Does it have a remote?"

me - "Yep. It's in the box. Batteries are in it."

them - "Is it cable ready?"

me - "Yep! Absolutely."

them - "Wow."

They kept expecting the gag part and there wasn't one. It was great.

ben - I voluntarily traded a perfectly good tee vee for my smellum goods. You had smellum goods foisted upon you. Maybe you should rub down with some snow or sumpin' after your next trail run. :) Welcome to my blog!
