What did you get for Christmas? - Page 4

SUBMAN1 · 12-26-08, 11:56 PM

K! i just got my after Christmas present! I managed to snipe a set of very rare metal liquid cooled 5.75" upper midrange drivers out from under some stereo geezers nose! I blew one of mine out the other day pushing 1500 Watts or so through these things, and though these aren't the ideal replacement, they have the same internals and can be tamed with a simple -3db switch to the crossover.

This is the best Christmas present possible! I expected to pay 2x or more than I did, but my sniping abilities never gave the guy a chance to counter-bid!

He's in the mafia.

EDIT: Ow and got me a late Xmas present this morning from my brother's friend who collects DVD's. He knows I like Robocop, so he gave me his copy of the Criterion edition of the original RC, i.e. the edition that has every gore scene re-added that was taken out.

A new pair of hockey skates, a new zippo, random clothes and the delight of being told I was fit my the missus' wii fit (proves machines don't know everything :rotfl: )

Ohh and a sore gut from stuffing myself on Boxing day or maybe tooo much beer

Nah, if you'd gotten new joystick or rudder pedals or something like that. Then I'd be laughing. Tho... that MoH:A made me giggle abit... what a horrible game. :p

I'll slap the son about a bit later when his mom ain't looking then tell him it was on your recommendation

GoldenRivet · 12-27-08, 04:56 PM

boxing day...

copious amounts of beer and food...

I like the sound of it.

Why have we not celebrated that popularly here in the states?

Maybe because the store owners don't like mobs of crazed shoppers ripping each other to shreds.

Its the one time when Canadians will be *******s.

Koondawg · 12-27-08, 06:17 PM

How about what I gave for christmas...
Daughter-Electric Piano...you know the one that has everything including toilet paper so you never have to leave the seat. Collector Barbie...some 2008 Holiday Doll. Man they are expensive..and she wants to take it out and play with it...OK! :hmm: Clothes of course and internet on their computer.
Boy- PSP, 3 games, 2 Legos games for the PSP2, Stix Game for puter (like a Wii for the PC) Clothes of course...
My kids 7-9 still believe in Santa Claus and its a blast watching them wake and rushing in to see the goods...(course how long can I keep em believing)
Now what I got was LED lights for the bike (from Santa)...so I went out today and huked em up...I think they add a nice sparkle...
