Just interested to hear about what everyone got for Christmas...

If you have pics of what you got or what you asked for, i think that would be fun to see...

Merry Christmas to all, and may you give more headshots than you receive...

Battle field 2 and expansion set(special forces) and i was so supprissed from my mother in law i got this great hard bound leather book from oarnge county choppers. it sweet got a big metal O.C.C circl on front cover it looks like it riveted on, and probably 100+ pages showing all the bikes and how them make them, it is just awsome. I like it better than the signed jesse james (west coast choppers book) she got me last year,now i just got to work on getting the book signed.

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

It's a double, Max...pretty nice. I've even still got my mouthpiece (at home), so I'm looking forward to playing!

[Wyrm_f00d]

Well... i got nothing terribly exciting.... a nice wallet from my sister some clothes from teh, soon to be, mother & padre in law.. some nice green stuff from my folks, and some luggage... Now I got the book "Nepoleon Dynomite: Flippin Sweet"... it is a flip book tht when you flip thru the pages, it shows Nepoleon's sweet dance.... too kewl... I also received a book of, what i like to call, useless knowlege.... good stuff to bore your friends or impress... a f** that... it is just fun to read that sorta junk... hope everyone had a nice Christmas...

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

That OCC book sounds pretty cool. I saw that at Sam's but they were all shrink-wrapped- good way to sell a book geniuses...

[SweetGirL]

Yeah, hope everyone had a really nice Christmas! Santa was good to me...from all directions of the planet - family in France & friends from around the States getting in touch with us. Hmmm, I've got about 28 colorful bags of stuff on my couch @ this moment - hard to remember what's all in there! lol I just know that my Christmas was peaceful & relaxing; I spent the day with lots of people that are special to me. I wish I could have been in 80 degree weather sipping an ice cold beer on the white beaches of Gulf Shores though.

A case of my choice. Haven't decided which yet. Gota decide between liquid or air cooling first.

Oh yaeh... I also got a couple shirts, a wallet, some shot glasses, a VERY nice cold steel butterfly knife, and beast of all....... my wife and kids are back in NOLA for the first time since the storm!!!

Now... if you want to know how to get your wife to sign off on $5000 woth of computer goodness let me explain. All you gota do, in my case anyway, is to buy her a $4000 emerald cut saphire and diamond ring with a matching pair of diamond and saphire earrings. Simple as that! Actually, truth be told, I got them for a really good price. Like half off. One of my jujitsu instructor's is a jeweler.

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

I also got a broken down minivan in Winnie texas (in addition to my rock)....which is the heart of hurricane Rita. This was last thursday, today I find out that they have no service capabilities other than changing a tire due to the hurricane. I had to rent a car to get home so that I wasn't spending Christmas in a hotel room.......lucky to get a car too....So now I have to find plan c...tow the bastard to baytown (30 miles) just to get checked out.

[LA_MERC_BS]

I too got a rock.

Nah actually I got the usual daddy gifts, clothes, sweets, DVD's and personal hygene products. I bought myself a new computer and new motorcycle a few months ago as an early Christmas present.

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

got 2 Cleveland CG11 Wedges a 54 and 60 degree,
$500 in BB gift cards--->xbox 360 wireless nic, Logitech G15 keyboard, Geek Squad 750W surge protector, future games
Plenty of LSU gear.
I already have on order what Spark got :stick
system Spec stealer!!! :p:
Spark I cancelled my cyber power sys, and reordered from www.aacdirect.com, I felt like dealing with Americans and was tired of the wishy washiness of CP, and they helped me build a killer fast rig, should have it the first week of January.

[LA_MERC_Spark]

I just looked at them today. Expensive I thought. Though I'm not including water cooling in my rig just yet. All the hardware is from newegg.. including a nice Lian-li case ill be taking a saw to! still I'm coming out just over $4000. Send me specs damn you!

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

ahhh yoou suck...you have my case as well...is that the v1000...something, something...lol
Yeah they are expensive, but good quality, I could not go for the liquid cooling as it was going to take too long, so I am going stock air cooled...it should be plenty fast enough :)

[LA_MERC_Spark]

yeah its the v1000 something :P Pretty nice, and I should have no problem chopping it up :)

[Wyrm_f00d]

Well... i purchased myself another little Christmas present...

I got the Saitek 290 pro... i will hopefully get to use it pretty soon... Biggs,T4rg3t, or anyone else willing to donate time and advise... it would be much appreciated{sp}...

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

yeah its the v1000 something :P Pretty nice, and I should have no problem chopping it up :)


c00l...the only snaz I am getting is a red led exhaust fan and a blue led intake fan...maybe I can come over and we can trick out the rest...

[LA_MERC_RPSNIPER]

Well my three big gifts were my truck paying off, making Corporal at work (payraise with that :) ) and the deer that I killed this year being mounted. Other than that some movies, clothes, hunitng stuff, etc.

Pic of the deer that I killed.

[LA_MERC_Spark]

c00l...the only snaz I am getting is a red led exhaust fan and a blue led intake fan...maybe I can come over and we can trick out the rest...

let me know dadio. I'll introduce you to da lab. Careful though.... the lab can be dangerous... esp. after a couple b33rs.

Nice deer Henry.

[LA_MERC_eX1|eS' ch1|d]

Nice deer Henry, I've been waiting to see the pic.

I didn't get anything for Christmas really, we skipped presents mostly this year and went to Disney World for a week. I think it was worth it and the kids still got a few presents from us and both sets of grandparents.

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

I wanted an ipod or Sirius satelite radio. I got both...lol. Roby got me the S50 which is Sirius + a detachable mp3 player that holds 25 hrs and can record Sirius so I can listen to shows later...very sweet. The antenna is magnetic so I just pop it on top of the patrol car and listen to it all day. Nothing like blasting death metal from a balck and white while cruising the ghetto.

I also got a Creative Labs 2.1 speaker system and a new Plantronics headset/mic.
