All I want for Christmas is....?greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread |
Howdy all,This year, once again, the bride and I have decided the kids will receive the bulk of any Christmas gift giving. She and I will exchange some small gifts (This year all gifts will be compliant and useful).
She asked me what I would like to have, I said: "5 boxes of Federal .300 Winchester magnum, 180 grain bullets, and MATCHING LOT NUMBERS."
Her? She wants books, perhaps a cheap guitar to learn on.
What is first on your Christmas list?

A pair of leather utility gloves for my wood stove. Since I've been using my new Y2K wood stove purchased 2 weeks ago(to get used to it) my pretty hands have burn scars all over :(And I wish an elf would come and stay with us to carry the wood inside.
sigh...I have lots to get used to in the coming year...
