Merry Christmas! Post your presents here!
 

Hello! The Zelaron administration and our evil Santa guardian wish you all a Merry Christmas! Evil Santa's last visit here was a couple of years ago, so I'm not sure how many of you still remember him. In less than a month from now, Zelaron has been around for five years... Wow.

The Zelaron administration will perhaps bring you some rather large and interesting new site features from time to time during next year, so be good members, respect the hard-working mods, and keep posting informative threads so search engines will like us even more. Oh yeah, Evil Santa hopes you enjoy his temporary Christmas present: browser-lagging ASCII snow. ;)

Go ahead and report in this thread what Christmas presents you have received, once/if that happens...

Giving the gift of spam for almost 5 years.

Yay :D

Happy Holidays to all, And to all a snowless christmas!

Times told by customers (quite rudely, I might add) that I should be saying "Merry Christmas" and not "Happy Holidays": 3. I get a kick out of telling them Happy Holidays anyway. I love that glare I get. Mmm...


Gift list thus far:

Monkey Toe Socks (From my sisters b/f. Woooo! Toe Socks! Oook!)
PS2 Memory Card (Came with the toe socks. o.O He's weird.)
Lavendar Bath Salt (From sister. Purrrrr.)

Merry Christmas!

I got a chess clock.

For those that don't know what it is:

My sister got a Wii. For those that don't know what it is, check out South Park's episodes 1012 and 1013.

Play a lot of chess?

A good bit. I'm not that great, but yea I like to play.

I would still have liked a Wii. Or another system.

They might have only been able to find the one, and had to pick a kid. Take it as a compliment to your intelligence.

Rofl. I'll think of it that way from now on.

Merry Christmas to you all!

I got a nice stack of books that will keep me occupied for a few days, the traditional chocolate (and an orange in the toe of my stocking), a couple of British Humour DVDs (The Secret Policeman's Ball, The Mighty Boosh, Morecambe and Wise), and a brand new keyboard:

Have you played with one of those footballs before, HoH?

If you haven't, then methinks you'll love it (if you have, you probably already do). They're so light, yet still have sunstance to them... and to kick! Superb! The curl on them is amazing! Great to be in goal against, too, as they don't have the weight of some of the really heavy, hard balls that hurt.

Just keep it pumped up. :p

Indeed. It will up productivity... 5000%
It'll be my baby, and I'll eviscerate anyone who tries to interrupt our love.

And I'll have just enough spare cash left over to buy Metroid Prime Hunters and stock up on beloved PS2 games I've been missing.

Yes I have. I have perfected my 'bending' shot and my rocket as well. I also have started to master an outward curl rocket which does remarkably well against goalkeepers during penatly kicks. You see, I have it so that the ball swings out to the left with the force of about 60 MPH. It makes a picture perfect corner ball.

I received:

- Verizon Mint Chocolate phone
- $140 in gas cards
- $100 Visa gift card
- $100 Kohls gift card
- $50 Borders gift card
- Talladega Nights
- Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd CDs
- Family Guy volume 4
- Stuff for my new apartment (plates, cups, towels, pots&pans, cooking utensils)

I got my girlfriend a nice diamond ring. Boy, I'm retarded.

Save up for the 9x12" version instead, because you're bound to want one of those within a year after purchasing a 6x8" Intuos. Yes, I'm speaking from my own experience. Oh, and don't be too upset when you finally realize you can accomplish almost the exact same things with a computer mouse.

Ah. Um... FUCK.

I bought it earlier this morning on ebay, after Amazon was being an overall asshole.

I have short strokes, so would that help?

The next tablet I'll buy will probably be the (?)Cintig(?) because it's so damn HUGE and has great resolution.

just from my personal experience, small tablet = good for lines. big tablet = good for painting.

lol soccer lol ;). Back on topic, I'm also getting a usb cord for my phone, whenever it finally gets shipped to my house.

The day after christmas I came home and my dad got me more shirts, a nice hemp hat, gloves, wool socks, and 50 bucks.
