[QUOTE=Mindfield] What I want for Christmas is a Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred-shot range model air rifle. Or a gigantic plasma TV. [/QUOTE] Geesh **Mindfield** , go for both! Just don’t point your new Red Ryder rifle at your new TV while drunk or sumthin. 😛 On a side note, I went looking for a kite today since it is a beautiful day here with a nice breeze going on. I’m playing hooky from work, so I thought I would go fly a kite. I can’t find one. 2 hobby shops and 2 party places didn’t even have the simplest of kites. Plenty of rockets, but no kites. ☹ I want a kite. ---

[QUOTE=Caridwen] Sure! If it’s catchy you can sing my eulogy. I have to throw my feet down Fred Flintsone style to stop and that doesn’t work so well. [/QUOTE] I was thinking of a cry-in-your-beer country song. Would that be OK? ---

I just can’t imagine anything I want or need (within reason- the beautiful woman and refreshing toothpaste would be nice- thanks Rigmarole 😛 ) I don’t need any CD’s or DVD’s, I’ll never read all the books I have. I just don’t need anything. This is sad. ---
