Loading ...A very funny thread at Slashdot | Weird Presents Anyone?: “Now that Christmas is about, it’s time for presents. A joyous occasion with much drinking, fruitcake, and butt-ugly sweaters. What’s the weirdest gift you’ve gotten so far? ”
I liked: I was given (by a christian relative) an autobiography of christian golfer Bernhard Langer. A pretty poor attempt to turn me onto ‘the right path’! Next year I’m going to buy them something by Richard Dawkins.
And: 6 pairs of black socks
1 can of mixed nuts (i hate most nuts)
A bottle of leather conditioner (presumably for my car)
A pair of cheap $20 headphones (left side doesn’t work)
15 losing $1-2 lottery tickets
$10 in gift certificates to Krispy Kreme (love them, but the closest one is an HOUR away. All Dunkin’ Donuts around here.)
Speaker stands for the surround sound system I don’t have.
Personally, I had a simple but great year. Viva Amazon.com Wish List! I love being able to add things to it throughout the year and then actually getting things I like/want/am intrigued by at the holidays! As for the people receiving craptacular gifts this year - I guess we’ll watch those eBay auctions surge next week!
