I was inspired to hear about different gag gifts ppl send over the Holidays! One of the best ones I did was mix a bogus lottery scratchoff with a few actual tickets and put the gifts into a Potluck pile! I sat there drinking a coffee when I heard my Aunt ask, "Ok! Who's the wise ass!!!"

They have gift card bags and small boxes for GC's! I like the idea of the Wallet too.

All four are in the Pre-Qualifier and will go up against 4 movies next week to see if they get in!! Any more?????

I didn't see this. Is it a Christmas movie. If it is, then it's in.

Hey Folks!!!!!! I wanna try and level the playing field for the Holiday Movie Tournament List, by removing some of the repeats, (i.e.- 6 different versions of A Christmas Carol) but I need your input!!! How?? Easy!!!! I'm going to list the 64 movies that were in last years Tournament and if you don't see your movie on there, post it!!! I'll put the new movies up against some of the dups, to see if they're worthy to gain entry into the Tournament!! The winner moves on, the loser gets dropped!!! Just remember it has to be a Movie & not a TV Special!!!! So remember: 1- Read the List 2- If you have a movie to nominate- post it! Please...no dups!!! 3- When the pre-tournament happens- vote!!!

Hey all!!! Like many, I got the big Toy Book and was able to salvage the two coupons, before my four kids tore through it leaving nothing but a pair of staples on the floor!! Now I went to TRU to replace it and was told by the front desk clerk, that I had to call 1-800-Toysrus to get a replacement and that TRU is NOT stocking big Toy Books this year as a cost cutting measure!!!! Now two questions........ 1- Did anyone else hear about this?? 2- Are the other Toy Catalogues, (i.e. Walmart/target/etc.) going to be available for the public other than on-line viewing??

Guess you got your answers!!!!

Waiting and watching for deals!!!!! My Kids are just starting to get that after Halloween buzz about Christmas. (Guess the TRU Big Book helped a bit.)

I'd go with the 3rd gen 64gb!! More space for you stuff and you know how to use it!! Unless you want the bells, whistles, camera and facetime, etc!

Got my book two days ago. Had to hide the coupons right away and the kids tore through it so much, it looks like it went though a tornado!! I went to TRU in Deptford NJ. and asked for another book and they said I had to call 1-800-toysrus for it and that they weren't keeping any in the stores this year!!!

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ NICE!!!!! If you don't get a T-Shirt for that one.......I could at least off you a beer!!!!!! Costume- I'd dress up as Christmas Morning Scrooge! I'd be warm in my jammies and spending money like it was on fire!!!

My kids say the La-La-La Loopsie Dolls are Fra-Fra-Fra-Freaky Looking!!!!! Don't think I'll be buying them this year!!

My wife is a vegan. During the holidays, she usually just eats the sidedishes and leaves the turkey for me!! I know there are alternatives, like a tofu-turkey, or a veggie casserole that she's tried before.

Looks like I'm splurging for a Sunday Paper or two this week!!!

Damn!!! That sucks for you and your friend!!!!

Just a reminder- The GD Holiday Movie Tournament will begin on BF this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can download music tracks and make him a CD collection of Alvin songs?

I love the ACE store around me!!! I don't have a George in mine, but I guess it's a close relative that knows his stuff and is sure you're comfortable with your project before you leave.

Christmas lights go up a week before Thanksgiving. Christmas Tree goes up first weekend in December. Always been that way except 2008 when we were at Disney the first week of December for my DW's Birthday!

Just read a bunch of info on the release of Rock Band 3!!! Along with the updated drums, a new keyboards, 83 song list, 3-part harmonizer for singing and every kink from RB2 worked out, there's a "RB Pro Series" coming out in early November, which has a six-sting, Fender Strat Controller and a 4-string Bass controller that actually can be used as regular gear!! Sounds sweet if you're into music!

Most Expensive- A few years ago my DD wanted the Buttercup Pony. You can add the Wii to that list three years ago. Weirdest- My DD wanted a beanbag chair for her room. Just a weird request since she craps up her room so much there's no place to put the thing!

We've been going out BF since '99. Last year was the first eyar we stayed inn because the deals were crappy and not worth going out for!!

Bite your tongue dude!!! I'm enjoying the baseball playoffs and I got back a few hours ago from my kids football game......I ain't ready for snow!!!!!!

Let's see.... TP Tree Ornament Glue or Stapler 4 empty TP tubes glitter crayons 11 mini marshmallows Take 3 empty TP tubes and cut them into 3's. (So you have 9 equal pieces.) Take the last TP tube and cut a piece off that's similar in size so you have 10 equal pieces. Color the 10 equal pieces green and the longer piece brown. Line up 4 pieces side by side and staple them together. Do the same with 3 pieces & 2 pieces so you have a row of 4, 3 and 2. Take the row of 3 and set it on top of the row of 4, nestle it so it rests in the groves of the one underneath. Either glue or staple them together. Take the set of 2 and set it on top of the row of 3. Glue or staple. Take a single piece and attach it on top of the row of 2. Take the last TP piece and place it underneath the bottom in the middle. Glue it to the base and let it dry laying down. Now, decorate your tree with the glitter. You can glue/glitter 11 mini marshmallows different colors and place them inside the tubes and place one on the top for a star!

Howabout $20.00 to a local spot for lunch.
