X-Box 360 Halo Edition.

My wife won't get it for me because she can't handle the controller and would want to play too (we have a Wii as well).

Looks like I'll have to be my own Santa. Someone buy my Conn on Ebay already.

Neither of us has purchased a gift for one another in order to scrape up moving money. The house is our whole Christmas enchilada this year. If we do not get approved I suppose we can spend the money to drink ourselves into a Holiday Oblivion.

Sounds like it's worth it to me. Good luck!

I got this very computer on which I am typing as we speak. Beats the hell out of my six-year-old laptop that was dying a slow, painful death anyway.

Congratulations, Wade! Good luck on wrapping it and getting it under the tree. Perhaps you should just settle for moving into it. What do you think?

You missed it? I am so hurt!

Sorry! For a minute there, you looked like a conductor...

My suggestion is, rather than put it under the tree, put the tree OVER IT!

Way to go, folks! For once, my tax dollars actually at work!
