I'm a little surprised this thread hasn't been up yet, so let's see it:

What is on your "wish list" for this holiday season? What are you hoping that Jolly St. Nick brings you?

An RP 250 distortion pedal for my bass guitar.

And maybe a subscription to D&D Online. And maybe Assassin's Creed for the PC.

And a few books and movies and CDs, but that's it.

What I really wish for is this sexy beast. Ibanez Artcore series AGB 200 (http://www.musikmuehle-engen.de/images/13001.jpg)

I really don't want anything big this year...I'd feel bad asking for anything over twenty bucks after recently getting my shiny new laptop, so the list is simple.

Any CDs by:

Cake, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, One Republic, Foo Fighters, Pink Floyd, and Chris Brown (shush.)

Any of these DVDs: High Fidelity, Dazed and Confused, Hairspray, Night at the Roxbury, Knocked Up

It's an electronica year. :D

I want an intact cell phone and enough money to buy my text books for J-term and Spring Semester. That would be awesome.

A good oolong would be nice, too.

"Lullabies to Paralyze" by Queens of the Stone Age
"Esplenditos" by Five Seconds of Soul (can't go wrong with a bit of latin acid jazz in your collection)
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
Geometry Wars Galaxies on either the Wii or the DS
"Choke" by Chuck Palahniuk
"Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card
The Lord Of The Rings 13 cd radio drama set



Those are the things I know I'm getting...

Everyone else I told to get me some gift cards.

Elijah, which recording of LotR are you looking for?

All I want is for all the children of the world to join hands and sing a song of harmony and peace.

Also, I'm glad that we're using "Holidays," not "Christmas," so as to acknowledge our Jewish members...member...mem...err, nevermind. But it's worthwhile to celebrate Atheist Children Get Presents Day nonetheless!

I also want 10,000 dollars and a pile of gold nuggets.

I want half the world as my slaves, the other half dead, and whole harem at my command.

Rather, I'd just like some peace and quiet for once. Thats aboooooout it.

Shoot. There goes my wish for World Peace.

....Anyways~ I think getting the 2007 Honda CBR1000RR "Fireblade" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:HondaCBR1000RR-002.jpg) or the 2005 Suzuki GSXR 1000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GSXR1000K5.jpg) would be nice, so I can finally get around the city without having to wait a half hour for a bus.

...Or, on the cheaper side, a Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet. <3

I think anyone that ever says World Peace or an end to world hunger is just saying that so they can have sex with a hippie girl with broad and unrealistic ideals.

Amen to that.

0_0 Men oy! Can't they just wish for more realistic things? Instead of using things that they say for other ideas they have in mind? Anyway, my wish list is pretty much arleady complete. I got a new winter coat the 5th Harry Potter movie, a new cookbook and I'm also going to be getting the Nintendo Wii finally. Thats it for what I'm getting for Christmas unless my mom surprises me with something.

Well, if we're on the topic of consoles...

PS3 + Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

or

PSP + Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

If I said I wanted a trippy hippie girly, would it work better?

I want a laptop, and to finally get my Beatles CDs. Then I get that special delivery from my man, down the streets. Y'know, oregano and an old credit card!

Last year, I got a sawed off shotgun. It'll be hard to top that, this time.

Hey Nights! I have a Wii too! Bring yours and wii wiill play.

There was no innuendo there, surprisingly.

I also have a wii. Stay the hell away from Mario Party 8, Sonic and Mario At The Olympics, and the myriad of other party games (except for Rayman Raving Rabbids--those are the only good party games on the Wii right now). The trick is to weed out the crap and buy only the good stuff--which unfortunately limits the possible selection to Super Swing Golf, Metal Slug Anthology, and the Mario/Zelda/Metroid games.

And Sighter, I was looking at this one... (http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-BBC-Dramatization/dp/0553456539/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1198161975&sr=8-2)

I'm ashamed at the lack of innuendo in this thread.

-My first wish is completed, as I finished my portfolio.
-Looking for a 360 and Mass Erect Effect, but that's kinda meh and just a reach for me.
-Soul Caliber Legends so I can play with my Wii more.
-Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
-Time to watch Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star
-Hippy girl
-Radio drama of Hitch hiker's Guide to the galaxy on tape so I can listen to it in my car.
-Time to finish Phoenix Wright, FFT, and Disgeae for PSP and DS and whatnot.
-Fruit by the Foot!
-A straight edge razor too. I've sharpened mine down to nothing and need a new one.

EDIT: For the Wii, Rampage is extremely fun with friends. Nothing like destroying a city or four with giant monsters.

Everyone wants a trippy hippie girly; even trippy hippie girlies want one. What could be better?

May your oregano be filled with purple and red hairs.

I want a plane ticket to Virginia, a power cord and A/V cords for my PS2 so that I can once again play it, some games for it (because somehow I no longer have any except for Harvest Moon: Back to Nature), a 2007 Harley Davidson FLHRS Road King, A single-sleeper lime green Peterbilt with suicide doors. (http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/dmckenzie/2006/jul22/fergus-july-06-021.jpg)

Oded Fehr naked in my bed.

And a nice marble headstone for when Zook kills me for that last one. XD

Hahaha, that's what I'm getting. I can't wait.


I want a plane ticket to Virginia...

Addition: laser guided missile to intercept planes...

Other additions: Visit to the 100 Items buffet in Meadeville, my papers from Penndot telling me my underage drinking restriction is up, a paintbrush mustache, two packs of black and mild cigars, to get to level seven, a black or asian lady friend with a ridiculous libido, a giant broken drill spear for Dan.

Personally, I wouldn't mind getting any of the 7th gen gaming consoles.

Though my best bet would to probably just ask for a Wii.

I prefer a trigger-happy kitty girl.

...OK, I'm officially starting to lose it. >.<;

Thank you, Dan! Someone who shares the taste for Final Fantasty Tactics and none of that Advanced remake. I cried playing that game because it was... it just wasn't the same...

What's an oolong? Sounds vaguely like something you'd find in a sex shop.

It's Oolong Tea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oolong). Very high-quality tea. XD

Like Raven said, it's tea. Full flavored, full bodied. It's the equivalent of two hours of relaxation crammed into the fifteen minutes it takes to enjoy a cup.

Oolong tea is the difference between sanity and complete and total chaos.

An illegal drug is the cause of complete and total chaos over sanity.
