Aloha, Christmas Time again

[Ace McCloud]

Ahoy. Haven't been around here in a while but I decided to stop by just to see what everyone wants for christmas(as well as some help looking for somet things ). Always an interesting topic. Anyway, so I'm looking around for another sword set. I can't really seem to find a good one. I'm not quite sure where to look. So as I was combing through the vastness of the google search engine, I began to ponder of a board that might direct me to some good swords. Then it dawned on me that there's not better place than sw-fans =P. So I ask away: 1.) What do you want for christmas 2.) got any places that I can find a good sword set?

Hmmm...well, I know a place that's really great, but you likely don't live in Tennessee, do you? Other than that...nothing I know of right now, but I'll do a little online searching, see if I can come up with anything.

Well, since I'm getting a scanner (next week!! I'm so psyched!), and I'll need a new sketchpad long before Christmas gets here...I need Rurouni Kenshin manga #7. And PoP2, and Jak 3.

But, what I really want? A VW Minibus. I don't even want a nice-looking one--a bucket of bolts is just fine, since I want to paint and grafitti it myself, and have my friends all decorate it. Just so long as it runs. *sigh* Oh, well.

(2) Depends on what you're looking for in terms of price and quality. I'd suggest looking at Smoky Mountain Knife company for starters.

Ahem. Nashville. =P

[Ace McCloud]

You've directed me to Smoky Mountain before, charley. Quality is good but selection is very limited. I like Swordsonline because its easy but they don't have very good quality swords.

Quite a collection of guns, how many do you have now? I want the new gas powered 3 1/2 shell browning shotgun for turkey =)

[Sanis Prent]

Currently? Four.

Springfield XD40
Romanian WASR-10 AK-47
Marlin Model 1894 30-30
Remington 1100 shotgun

The Kel Tec P3At and the Yugo SKS will follow suit in the next two months.

[Morgan Evanar]

New tires
S-13 rear suspension bushings.
Edit: 300zx brake conversion
Nissan S-13 front clip with an SR20DET.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I don't want much...

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (PC)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas – Hunter S Thompson
Survivor - Chuck Palahniuk
American Gods – Neil Gaiman
Paradise Lost – John Milton
Wolves of the Calla - Stephen King
Song of Susannah - Stephen King
The Dark Tower - Stephen King
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Radiohead - OK Computer

And a 20GB iPod ... and a drum kit too, really, but I have asked for that for years now. Don't think it's ever happening :mneh

You have impeccable taste.

[Salem Ave]

Thank you! That's only a small fraction of the books I'd like, really, but I'd say those are the few that I really want - especially the final three from the Dark Tower series

[Mandy with an I]

I want a new alarm clock...really really badly.

And money so I can actually go on a vacation this spring/summer (to visit Fans people, of course. )

*blush* Sorry, didn't know. Still, it's in Knoxville, across the state from you, and I don't know if it's quite what you're looking for.

[Wei Wu Wei]

Oh! All 5 books in the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy!

Big Fish on DVD

A Switchfoot CD (Can't remember the name)

Those are the top 3 I can remember off the top of my head. I asked for more, but don't remember what they were.

How can a Trilogy have five books?

Add "replies to my christmas cards" to my list

And time to complete the mountains of assignments I have due

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I can't really think of anything I particularly want, honestly - well, aside from a queensized bed and a desk I saw in Best Buy last weekend. But I see those as things I should be buying for myself anyways, not really as Christmas gifts

I am a very boring person, just FYI.

[Ace McCloud]

I don't think your boring. Maybe you just have too much! Give it all away to homeless people for christmas!

[Cardinal Aiyalin]

s'Il, I'm the same way. The only thing I could conceivably want is a sewing machine, and those aren't good Christmas presents..

My family has since called me a scrooge and told me that I'm getting crap anyway.

Actually, she's got next to nothing. She needs more stuff!

Yay! Someone like me! I'll send you a card for Christmas so you'll get something

As long as it's something my cats can't destroy; like they have everything else I own. Actually, I know something you could get me - my sunglasses that I forgot at your house

And Charley is right - I don't have hardly anything. Nothing but sketchbooks, anatomy books, my computer & scanner, some swords, and my snowboard.
