Someone sent me a real Christmas spoiler, a list of reasons why it is physicaly impossible for Father Christmas to exist, it was very amusing.

Oh wouldn't it be a grand slice of cake if he got it on Hallowe'en Day.  He would have to ponder is this a trick or the real treat. Evil [}:)] timing. 

Ready to wrap mine (kaboom).

The gift for my recipient has been ordered and is enroute from the factory - just not sure if it's being trucked in or flown..... and I sure hope that he/she has a BIG lot......

No matter how well they hide it, they will know it is there. The rattle of styrene repeating in their head like the heartbeat in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart"!<more insane laughter>

Is that the new airliner Boeing is working on? It is supposed to hydrogen powered and have more bells and whistles than Air Force One. The FAA is supposed to be extremely excited about it with it being the beginning of a new age of flight; "the age of super-huge, zero pollution, autogyros".

I've decided that the kit I have for my guy is too good to part with. He is now getting a ream of printer paper so he can make several paper airplanes in any scale he desires. I'll toss in a few of my son's markers for all the plane markings...Hey, what can I say? I like to think outside the boxBig Smile [:D]

Cost is no longer an issue since I snagged the paper from work. Yes, that's YOUR tax dollars at work folksWink [;)]

And to whoever got me, I changed my preference to a 1:24 B-17 with the spare bedroom addition to my house to display it in. You have like 17 days. Get on it...BLAARGGHHBLARGGLE... I need another beer...

Appears everyone is getting into the happy Christmas holiday spirit early this year.  The joy of giving gifts to friends from kilometres (for my other friends miles) away.  Even with little twisted evil touches of lengthy torture tests.  Oh, the smell of plastic, the crying out of little plastic wimpy sounds from inside the brightly wrapped package 'Is time yet, Is it time yet.'  As your victim, I mean recipient shakes and rattles the box (hoping the shake and bake method melds the pieces into a nice looking Taped Shut [XX] hummmm......Laugh [(-D]

The Grinch and Scrooge can't hold a candle to us professionals.

The evil thoughs we weave............tick tick tick - shake me again and KABOOM

But I would never think of doing such evil deeds.  I am the easy going quiet innocent type.  I always falsely accused of things. Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

FedEx has been here, now the strategic tamper-proof wrapping stage begins....

Hey, anyone know where I can get a 20,000 gallon tank and some sharks with lasers on their foreheads? Ill-tempered mutant sea bass will work in a pinch. Oh yeah, and a roll of waterproof wrapping paper. Whistling [:-^]

This might get complicated.

My Secret Santa gift came today. I quickly put it in the back of the closet before it could start to tempt me. But I keep on hearing a voice saying "open me" Hope I can hold out for almost fifty five days.
