And now for a little...

Social experiment.*

And so, we've known each other for two or three years, right?
Wrong.
We've been talking to each other for two or three years, but I'm curious as to how well we really know each other.

So here's what we're doing. We're going to name off what we'd give to other people on this forum for Christmas, if we had the money and didn't have to send it through the mail. And the rules are...

>No games. Seriously, we've got a game section, so it's kinda easy to guess what other people want when it comes to that.
>Don't cop out with "I'm getting Rot an island in the Philippines, and Recontoaster a trip to the ISS". Yeah, I'm sure ANYBODY would like those things, but that's not what I'm going for here.
Be creative.
>Explain WHY you want to get the person these things.

And so, here I go.
KrAzY:
A digital picture frame because, while he has a Wacom tablet and everything, he needs something to display the many pictures he's drawn over the years.

Recontoaster:
The DVD version of Cosmos
Yeah, I guess I am taking the easy way out here... Which is why I'd also end up getting him Marrow, by Robert Reed. It's an interesting book that tackles massive engineering (You think the Ark is big? YOU THINK?) with the implications of Einstein's Relativity when it comes to space travel, as well as what happens to humanity should we become immortal.
Not a perfect book, but a good one.

Pheonix092:
Wacom Tablet
Well, he's interested in improving his drawing, and I've heard that there's no better way to do that than to get one of these and start messing around on Photoshop. Not that I'd know much about that...

*This is your cue to collectively shudder and go put on a sweater.

I'd send Rasq a psychology textbook.
(I'd get you something relating to halo... but I'm pretty sure you've already seen it all lol)

I'd probably get Rot an M1 Carbine so he can start his murder spree quickly, or fight off the zombie invaders.

Rasq', you would get a surgery kit, because you seem to want to dissect a few specimens.

I would get Lord Pheonix an italian switchblade because a hammer is overused.

I'd get BBJynne & RX XBL so they can play (I hope that's not under the game section).

Vigil would get a video camera so he can save time making rants.

Sargent Bilco would get a box of shit, because I don't like him.

I'm not sure what I would get KrAzY. I think a 3D scanner would be of some use to him.

CivBase, Leafy, AJ, would get Photoshop CS5 or whatever they're going to call it. They love making sigs and digital art, and CS5 would be good for that.

I'd buy Baconsen a puppy so he can do his dirty deeds.

Ugh, I can't remember a whole lot of other people. Too damn tired. I'll do this later.

i wanz a knuckez manwitch for X-MAS!!!

I'd buy Ruski an original press of a Beatles LP. Because he loves the Beatles

Bacon would get a kilt, signed by Mel Gibson.

Nate would recieve a corn knife.

LP would get a nuke and a map of France, so he can choose his target.

I would give RX a fuck ton of money to help him out.

I would also give Seath a fuck ton of money.

Bilco would get a truncheon ;)

Mr. Grenade would get a military poster with the phrase "When the pin is pulled, Mr Grenade is not our friend."

Vigil would get every single Batman movie.

Gold would get Xbox Live

That's all I can think of at the minute.

dont forget the lube OB ;)

also i cba doing a list lol

I would get Toaster a chunk of Carl Sagan's brain preserved in a jar.

Rasq would get a surgery kit signed by Josef Mengel, as well as some live Japanese specimens.

Rot would get a gun shaped like a cross.

LP would get a pyramid built in honor of him. (it just seems like something he'd like)

BB would get every album ever made by "Men Without Hats".

Bilco would receive tea.

Vigil would receive some tea and a digital voice recorder so he could post his rant about it.

Hmm, let's see.

I'd probably work my magic, pull some strings, and get Rasq a job in the aircraft industry, probably at BOEING (though he might have to settle for MD Helicopters).

And I'd probably get KrAzY an extra large wacom (screen would be 18"x12").

And I'd get dud some books on artificial intelligence and the composition of the human brain.

But I doubt I know anyone else well enough to get them anything other than a generic gift.

I'd let you all live.

id let you think that...

I'd give everyone a copy of Star Wars: A holiday special sighed by George Lucas

my present is now retracted from felix

No presents for me

Sadface

I'd get Gauz a taste in music, for starters.

:3

And you guys in the Library section, you'd get some positive comments and overall praise.

Considering that Felix would have to beat George Lucas into submission with a truncheon, hold a gun to his head, and FORCE him to autograph it, I'd take it with a 'It's the thought that counts', provided it's signed in Lucas's blood.

If I got that far, I would just force him to "forgot" the prequels ever happened. And maybe, if he begged, I would let him live if he promised to fix them.

good idea

I'd get everyone a PS3. (that wants one)
Some movie tickets, and for the politics peepz, Sarah Palin: Going Rogue. just to laugh at, of course.

I would give Seath my bunny suit.

This may be off topic, but I'd sure as hell rather have Palin than Obama.
