Topping the list would have to be a guitar book my ex-inlaws got for me. I've only been playing for 16 years, so naturally I need a book with a beginner's course in tuning my instrument. :D

I really did appreciate it though... they had a hard time buying for me. I was a bit outside their "cofmort zone" in most ways I think. ;)

Yeah, it's fine, we'll walk down the line. Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine
You my friend, I will defend... and if we change, well, I love you anyway

A friend of mine bought his wife a widescreen TV and VCR.

She was ecstatic that he was so generous............ until he said

"There we go I have made the first months payment and all you have to do is carry on...."

They are divorced now, I wonder why?

He also bought her a 4ft Christmas Cracker the year before. And who says men cant do Christmas gifts???

hmmm.. that would definitely have to be the remote control crawling army man i got from my grandparents. i was 18 years old, and i got a friggin remote control army man guy that just crawled around and made shooting noises. :S at first i thought it was a huge joke, and then i realized it wasnt. B| lol oh well. i blew that thing up (along with a few other worthless gifts i got) a few days later with an interesting concotion of orange juice and fertilizer. at least watchin all that shit fly all over the place in pieces was cool. :D

What ever you do guys....DO NOT buy your SO any kind of cleaning tools.....unless she specifically asks for it, and really really wants it bad and is a habitual neat freak. Even if you think that she would really appreciate it...don't don't don't. Heart may be in the right place, but it is still just bad :S

When I was a kid I got a hand made swetter from my grandmother. The waste was too short. The sleeves too long and had my name down the front. Yet it was spelled Brain not Brian. Had to wear it all day and no one till the dinner noticed sucked.

I hate it when I'm all built up to get something...I just know what I'm gonna get....so I get excited and plan for it....and it never comes. [:/] THAT SUCKS!

-The only time that happened and it was a good thing was my engagement ring. I thought I'd get it on Christmas, then nothing...so I fell into depression and wanted to break it off. :( Then I decided Ok, we'll just keep dating and I'll keep it cool, and I got it on New Year's eve...total surprise!! :)

This is the funniest post I have read in a long time. I don't know if you're messing with us or if you're serious! If it's the latter, you should all receive Webster's for Christmas! Not raggin' on ya here.... this just really cracked me up!:D

A few years back I was looking over my mother's shoulder as she opened a Christmas gift from my dad. I went bug-eyed and slack-jawed when I saw that they were... kneepads? Did my dad just buy my mom kneepads for Christmas??? My mind is bombarded by an avalanche of horrible jokes and images. But I push them aside for the moment because I want to witness the smack upside my father's head that sure to be delivered. But no, it never comes. Not only does mom like them, but she specifically asked for them. Turns out that getting down on the tile kitchen floor to scrub it is hard on her knees. That is somehow worse :)

My mom made me a dress one year that had sewing stuff all over it. Like, it had buttons all over it and pictures of scissors and string and a pin cushion. It was the most horrific thing I've ever seen. But I didn't want to hurt her feelings because she had worked so hard on it to surprise me. So, I wore it a few times to church. I was so embarrassed but I wanted to make my mom happy and to let her know I appreciated her hard work and effort. To this day, she still buys me clothes from the old women section at the store for Christmas. I've told her several times not to as I've gotten older, but she doesn't listen and keeps buying them anyway. So I'm forced to wear them so I won't hurt her feelings.
I'm so funny I crack my head open!

Actually, the worst gift I ever see is a "self-help" book.

Anybody ever get these? Dayum. How's that for a message to someone. "I thought you'd like this as a gift - 'How You Can Stop Being a Waste of a Human Life' by Dr. Laura." I saw it and thought of you.

Yeah, I think that's pretty messed up...


My wife is hotter than your wife.

someone did buy me a shirt, however, that says /(bb|[^b]{2})/ and I do wear it...

I hope that's a perl regexp :P

While it's the start of a great soliloquy. It doesn't make for a particularly useful regular expression. I always did like Hamlet though...

I got bit by a penguin.

Too funny. My freefly bud Dana works at the Detroit Zoo as a Penguin Keeper. (no sh*t). After he let us go in and pet baby penguins while he was working, I went out and found him a sticker that said that...

"One by one the penguins steal my sanity."

...which he has on his freefly helmet now. B|
