These are the coolest thing I've ever seen. I have a 55 gallon tank with only one fish in it, and he's the meanest berkleyer to ever have fins. Kills everything I put in with him. I need to get a few of those, and sit back and watch him have at it.

I never knew you had this mean streak in you

My wife rocks!

those that know her agree with you …

As does mine. Posting this on my new ipad

Tomorrow is when the family will be here to open gifts......already got my helmet though.

I'm waiting for her mom to get here from WV, and assorted other family. Then we dig in. Last year she raided my Amazon wishlist so I preloaded it a few weeks ago.

11x17 vanishing point poster and a "i am the stig" sticker plus a grumpy cat mug and keychain

one of these:

It records school lectures and watches as you write (on special dotted paper) then uploads the audio and notes to your computer. I can listen to the lecture and it shows what i wrote when I wrote it in context, or I can touch the pen to the notes and it plays back the part of the lecture. Cool stuff, exactly what I asked for.

I find if you only ask for 1 thing, chances are good you'll get it! Except the time I (jokingly) asked for a red Ferrari from my mom and she got me this:

I drove the wheels off of it, too

I got a set of rubbers for my car!

the bill

Got a set of magnetic race numbers for the car.

Only got a 6pk of bells Oberon, two reup on the 5.0 rag (because I'll prolly have one in the drive about June or July) and another yr on GRM.

In addition to the large floppy hat I asked for, my sister-in-law also got me a pair of Schwetty Balls.

In reply to Rufledt:

got a link to the pen deal?

here's their main site: http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/

Last I checked they didn't have it at best buy, sadly, but amazon is still an option.

lots of food … sausages and cheeses … a B&N gift card and a huge (at least to me) check from my Mom

then I fixed mid-afternoon lunch/dinner

roast leg of lamb, mashed potatoes, gravy, peas, and biscuits … yummmmm

An iRobot Scooba 390!!! I've been a multiple Roomba generation user for years, and love those things to death.

Seasons 1-3 breaking bad, battlestar galactica season 4 and 4.5, herbie dvds (all the old movies, childhood flashback), PS3 + GT6, some hardware store gift cards, fast + furious 6 dvd.

You got a ps3 but only DVDs?,

Yakima roof rack for the Pathfinder
GT6
Keurig
Some Tools
Lots of gift cards

I must have been really good this year!

I got a new hat from my son with a non-car related logo and it is my favorite that I haven't taken off all day.

My wife got me jeans a size to small, I think she is trying to tell me something... I tried them on and we all laughed hysterically. I got them zilped and buttoned but can you say "moose knuckle"? Laughs were shared by all.

I was sent an Erebus Motorsports Mercedes V8 Supercar tee and killer western AU calendar from one of my teammates. Along with the Portland Timbers gear I got from my wife and kid, it made my Christmas extra special.

In reply to mndsm:

Ok FNF is blu ray. But the rest are dvds because I asked for them. Old habits die hard I suppose.

The big ones were a Bushnell AR 1-4 tactical scope, a PS4, Assassin's Creed 4, Call of Duty Ghosts, an extra controller and a charging station.
