The Krampus episode of The League was awesome.

 

[Road Guy]

what channel did they move that show to> that was my favorite

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Beats me, probably FXX, if it was on FX. That's where Sunny in Philadelphia went.

Total BS move, IMO.

Workaholics is coming back on in January. Funny show.

so since minisnick brings home a **** load of artwork from daycare and pre-k and we only have so much space to display it the grandparent this year are getting a little book of art by minisnick. I found blank board books in the clearance section at a store and have been gluing the masterpieces to the pages and finishing the edges all fancy like. They turned out to be a collection of pictures, writing and painting techniques.

Grandparents like that sort of stuff right?

I picture CW in a new metro suit walking around shouting at clients with his new bluetooth earpiece. LOL

They are required by law to at least pretend to like it. Also, it's payback for when they made us move all of our crap out of their houses and send our kids battery operated toys.

I'm just doing research for when we're finally driven to it.

But, yeah, when i do go, it'll probably be like a dam breaking. I remember when I went from 9600 baud rate to 28.8K, I was up all night surfing <Newman voice> INFORMATION!

just got a Christmas present from my mortgage company. Escrow refund check and my payment lowered.

 

[goodal]

I got one of those one year. Problem was, Bank of America screwed up and didn't pay my taxes, so they thought they had way too much money and cut me a check for what was left. Took a couple months to figure out what they did wrong and fix it. I refuse to escrow again because of it. I can do a better job of paying my bills than they can apparently.

Well, it looks like our rotating led tree topper star finally bit the dust. Turned on the tree this morning, and no power at ll to the unit.

Got it in 2006 and we've loved the thing, although it started getting really noisy last year and we took it down. This year, seemed to work OK. Guess it is time to overnight one from Amazon....

 

[Road Guy]

We toned down the elf's naughty pranks.. But I have enjoyed the elf.. But will be glad when its over... This past week actually had the elf leave cheap presents....

To those heading out of town and won't be around here have a good Christmas!

 

[NJmike PE]

So I'm caving and going shopping this afternoon. Me and NJ Jr are heading to the mall. Side note. Always take a baby with you when you go out. Chick magnet. Anyway. We are on a mission for Mrs NJ. I'm thinking one of those overpriced Pandora charm bracelets with a few charms from the kids.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Mrs Dex hates those bracelets. She said she would return it if I ever got her one...

I would too.

 

[NJmike PE]

Personally I think they are a waste and couldn't agree more. The only benefit is the easy future gifts that it creates with the stupid charms.

 

[engineergurl]

My parents got me one with one charm... I still only have one charm... I am guessing I will probably only have one charm five years from now... but I bought one for my best friend this year

 

[NJmike PE]

They sure do get a pretty penny for those charms. They range from $30 to over $100.

 

[Road Guy]

This is the tipping point Christmas... Spent the most amount of money and have the least amount of gifts.... Damn teenagers.....no Legos, no bb guns, no Star Wars stuff, no toy kitchens, no megatron transformer, no trains, . Sad transition phase....
