Drew: Pretty good take this year: scored a new katana, finally feel like a whole person again, a cot for naps in between shifts, sid meier's civilization board game (more on that in another upcoming post/topic), some jordan tennis shoes that i'm not going to ask too many questions about (don't think i got those exact shoes though), some spiderman pint glasses, TMNT shot glasses (set of 4), assorted clothes, 600W UPS battery backup, etc etc
Shawn:

Steven I'd recommend an xbox with kinect and get Dance Central 2.

Steven: That was last year, Shawn...but I'll keep it in mind.
acelxix:

Shawn, were you in Detroit for christmas? :O

Oscar:

Got a Canon 50mm F/1.8 prime lens for my Canon DSLR. I highly recommend it if you have a Canon, or finding a similar one if you have another brand DSLR. Sample my completely untrained brother-in-law took over the weekend with it:

acelxix:

Awesome picture

Drew:

yeah i was using my fiance's fancypants canon with some fancypants lens and i have a basic idea what i'm doing but everything was still blurry, like i couldn't even find the part of the picture that was supposed to theoretically be in focus, might need to check into that lens, got nowhere near to that quality of picture

Drew: i was reviewing this thread and apparently several of us including me own a suede jacket

also, here's a john daly update

Finally getting around to enumerating some of my spoils:

Rachel and I both scored bowling balls, bags, and shoes (along with a bunch of other things like rosin and powder and instructional DVDs). Look out 2012 -- I haven't mastered a new skill in a while, and I think it's time to focus that laser. Also got a family heirloom -- my dad's Polish Bowling Ball that his parents gave to him when he was taking up bowling.. I'll post a pic when I get home.

I got a ton of DIY car maintenance gear, including Auto Repair for Dummies, a funnel, oil drain container, anti-freeze tester, and some more that I can't think of right now. I think I'll pick up a pair of ramps or a jack and get this party started when the whether warms up.

In the food & beverage department, I got a wireless barbeque thermometer that notifies you when your steaks are done (like a boss); got a wine fridge and a four bottle liquor dispenser not entirely unlike the one at PMC. Maybe SLD will be getting a sunroom-into-tiki-bar upgrade.

Speaking of tiki, in the yard art department I got a color-changing LED hummingbird yard ornament to go with my pink flamingos. I really need to curate their habitat better.

Got some quality Threadless shirts and a nice nerdy hoody with the vulcan salute on the front. Scored a T-qualizer, which means the next time I go to MJQ, I will be the center of attention *before* I start dancing.

I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff that I'm just forgetting; I'll fill in when I get home.. but all in all a pretty good haul this year.

rachew: Got tix to cavalia for tomorrow night. Backstage passes included. So excited about that. I am at work now so I will post more when I get home.
Drew: Coworker said the most gripping thing about the performance was watching whether or not the performers would backflip into the horse poop, which they did
