What have the holidays taught you.........

Post by Rold Gold »

I'm gonna branch off of Brian's "It's Friday..What have you learned" threads to something more festive.....


The holidays have taught me that-
1. Start shopping in march.....That way you have time to THINK of a good gift and not be rushed. :?
2. Never takes yer kids shopping for yer gift to the wife. They tend to spoil it by blabbing what you/they got ya. :x
3. As much of a good idea it is to giftwrap yer "junk", she's not gonna be to surprized. :roll:
4. "Let's not do anything for eachother and concentrate on the kids." means you better get me 1 good gift or I'm returning the twig and giggle-berries you plan to give me later. :shock:
Those tender little burgers with them little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in ya mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one.. just makes me want to burn this muthafuka down.... Come on, Pookie, let's burn this muthafuka down!!!

the holidays have taught me to:

1. work more/save before they catch up to you so you can comfortably travel and have the option of buying close ones really nice presents.

2.make sure your sunroof seals up good.

3.bring a pair of freaking gloves when you go to get the tree.

That:

1. I can get nothing done in terms of car audio installations.

2. My wife gets nutty Nov. 1st (us being of two different religion makes it interesting)

3. I should have rented a wood splitter, instead of waiting for the guy up the street who promised us that he would bring his down.

4. I should have bought a new car cover right after the 1st got shredded.

5. That I have to pace my presents for my wife because her birthday is 1 month after her holiday and then valentines day 2 weeks later.

the holidays have taught me to never have more than one close "loved one/immediate family" in the celebration at any given time other wise every bodies life is more difficult.

-take time for Mom
-take time for Dad
-take time for GF

If you try to mix these people it is about as pleasant as chewing thumbtacks.



On another note other things I have learned recently:

Vacation- means sleep in an extra hour before going into work.

When you explain to your girlfriend on her first trip to Vegas that she needs to bring walking shoes, and you tell her emphatically that she should bring walking shoes, then you tell her that heels are really not a good idea. 10 minutes out the door and you have finally reached the strip, she wants to go back to the room because she did not understand what you meant by walking shoes and the heels she is wearing are killing her feet.

Also when in Vegas and the misses stares at you while standing next to the hotel wedding chapel, and asks so you want to get married, instead of screaming game over and running, you can calmly state "but none of our friends are here..."
I think we've established that "Ka Ka" and "Tukki Tukki" don't work.

You should never take the GF there unless it's to get married.....for that exact reason. :P

On the other side of that, Vegas might be the only place that she can fill her hollow leg with vodka and it won't melt yer credit card.... :lol: :lol:

She killed her share of yard long margaritas and kept on going, like the energizer bunny but instead of a battery on her back it was a smirnoff bottle and a midget with a straw.

Heh, that's the worst time to go here, since that's pretty much the only thing you CAN do in this weather. The malls have been PACKED so bad that traffic is backed up on some side streets. I give up as soon as I see that... can't take the crowds. And wouldn't you know, it's staying freezing cold like this until Christmas, so it should keep getting busier and busier.

Any ideas on Christmas presents for mom/dad/brother who already have everything they want? :roll:

Speaking of Booze, the big B.

I got my father-in-law a nice 14 year old last year and he's still not enjoyed it yet. Talkin' Scotch here folks. Seems that the man who digs any label of Glen Fiddich, and a couple other main stream (pun there if you know scotch) labels won't touch something with a "weird name". Huh?

Dude, read the fucking label. It's 14 years old, it comes from Scotland, even says what creek they got the water from, map and everything.

Nope, it's "weird". "Weird name".

Crack that puppy, actually taste it. What's the worst that could happen? Apparently all his work buddies would tune in (psychic viewing style) and note that he's drinking something "weird" and he's out of the gang or something. People are fucking weird.

I like Oban 15, even more than their 18 in fact.

When I was younger, I had a Glenn Fiddich 15 year and I thought it was good... until I tried something better :D
