Discussion 15 - 12/15/08

Hola Peeps! Thanks for logging in . . .

So let's talk about gift-giving. With this holiday season upon us all of our minds are turning to gifts. What are we going to receive? What are we going to get mom, dad, siblings? How much time is left to shop? Will there be another payday before now and then?

Personally for me, this Christmas season has been . . . odd. Mr. L and I are off to Mexico when the bell rings on Friday (please don't get in my way when I'm leaving the parking lot friday, I just might accidentally run over your foot!). We won't see the chicklets (Beth and Julia) again until the day after Christmas, when we have our family celebration. We've really spent nothing on each other as this trip is our gift, and we've not spent a whole lot on the chicklets either. And for the first time ever, no surprises. We gave each other lists, and most of us did our shopping with the others shopping in the same store at the same time. See? Odd.

So my gift to you is a pretend $100 bill. I want you to go to the following two sites and tell me what you would buy to spend all of that money. Don't worry about taxes and shipping.

www.thinkgeek.com

www.kleargear.com

I want all of you to have a safe, peaceful Christmas and a joyous New Year. Enjoy the time with your family and friends and come back rested and ready to roll.

Talk to me . . .

murillo, j - 1 said...

Not only does this cool bit of kit sound smashing when you connect its dual cassettes to your stereo system using the included software and your pc and you can easily rip your audio cassettes into digital format for playback on ipod or copying to cd.

McCorvey,T-1 said...

Well i liked the, Megapixel Spy Camera Sunglasses because, you can take pictures with the shades makes it pretty cool. And also i liked the video watch while i'm checking, time i can also watch a video.

lathan,l-1 said...

I would like the 1.3 spy camera sunglasses, becuase I would to spy on some people.. the people that I have way like.

The T-shirts was good and i would get it because the style of it was slamin in some of the ways that i could say. I like the things I chosen becuase I can use it and wear it.

Liles, T-1 said...

Theirs just so much great stuff to choose from...<----sarcasm.

but if i had $100 to spend part of that money would have to be on the curiously strong magnets, cuz i could play with magnets all day long. $29

Then i would get the fish training school kit cuz God only knows what kind of tricks i could teach a gold fish. $34

And last but not least definantly the initech coffee mugs, because i love that movie "office space" $9.99.


if i had more money i would get the "Magic IQ Gift Box" but i guess i just dont have enough Cents! HAHAHAHAHA I JUST MADE A JOKE...

Thompson,O-1 said...

i would buy the Liquid Wave Paperweight - Penguins $6.99 and the Personal Soundtrack Shirt $39.99, oh and the Cardboard Cube Speakers $14.45. and keep whats left over for other junk like candy =D

chanelectronic said...

i didn't really look at much things but for lke my friends I'd totally buy the Graduate - Dancing toy (6.99). For my older sister I'd buy the Tek Stick (24.99) - its like this big inflatable buton that allows you to hit someone else and keeps score for you electronically.. I'd probally buy myself one of those too. Just so I have an excuse to hit someone. For my mom I'd totally buy the Beat It Up! Computer Stress Toy (5.95) because shes so technically defective. Well any kind of candy is perfect for my younger sister so Soda Pop Fizzy Candy is wonderful.. I'd probabally find her something else to go with her candy but PJs or Sim Games aren't that easy to come buy in a Office Toys and Cool Gadgets website is it?

Tri-Edge said...

I would love to have $100 to buy these items like the personal soundtrack shirt. I would have a lot of laughs with it.

The Spy Camera Sunglasses seems pretty cool. I could record a lot of shinanigans that goes on.

I would have to have that 2009 Custom Calendar. It has lolcats =)

and I would need that USB watch....I would never have to worry about my files again.

Gilbreath,J-1 said...

Best thing I saw was the Hacked and Frayed Spy Flash Drive, for only $29.99! No more crazy people tryin to steal my stuff.

Only two minutes, so I can't search more. I'll probably look into it at home, I guess.

mayfield,s-1 said...

I would buy the camera sunglasses, radio pillow, and the faucet lights.

Johnson,O-2 said...

edlin said...

Dietrich,R-3 said...

What I would get with 100$ would be... 4 disk shooters (just to shoot people with them), 1 air bazooka (why not), 1 marshmellow gun (you know you want one of those), and then I would get two of those Magnetic Lifter Rod things just to throw stuff!

Dang if i got all of that i am sure someone would get mad at me...

edwards, a - 4 said...

One of my wants for Christmas is new headphones, so indeed I want the "Vibe Body Sound Headphones" which is $59.99. All of my old headphones are broken, so I'm hoping this one doesn't break on me either.

Auxier, Emily - 4 said...

I would first spend some money on the Porable Electronics Charging Station becuse my phone/ipod always dies at the time i need it the most! Some Frosted Pirate suckers would be yummy! To top it off, a stress toy in the shape of an aligator would be nice =)

wallace,c-6 said...

i like the personal soudtrack shirt, i just have a feeling that if i were to buy it, that i either wouldnt be able to get it to work, or it would quit working a couple of days after buying it, because i would wear that bad boy out.

Meredith,B-6 said...

ok I would honestly have to say that the sunglasses camera and the USB watch is really cool cuz the glasses takes pictures of whatever you want that ur looking at so you dont have to stop and pull out a camera you just look at and click and then the watch is really cool because like you can have ur watch on your wrist so you dont have to carry a USB drive around that you might lose and it also tells time so it's pretty cool

Abdul-786 said...

i kind of like that usb memory watch it pretty cool for carying your files and u don't even have to be afraid of losing it. i would buy games with rest of my money.

Bixler,T-6 said...

I like the wand it is pretty cool. I really like the light water thing,and the sunglasses. I wish I could Have those sunglasses. the watch is also very handy.

Maness, J-6 said...

One item. Deluxe car mini fridge. mmhmm. cause there are so many times i'm driving and all i can think is 'boy i sure am thirsty.' With that fridge i wouldn't have to worry about that problem anymore. space might be an issue but i bet it would be worth it

Sauceda, Maria=]- 6 said...

ThinkGeek page has some neat stuff that i can actually give to my geeky friends..lol The wifi detector shirt is kool as long as im not the one wearing it..Um the graffiti thing for the car i LIke!!..jaja you can see at night..sweet!!

Calderon,A-1 said...

Copeland, Juston7 said...

Besides, Christmas use to be a religious holiday, but now it has become just like everything else…. A way for the ‘industries’ to make money. Who cares about Jesus now when you can get material objects, some of which won’t last a year. We should just get a winter break and a day where we get things and be forced into going to church.
Price: Priceless

martines,j-1 said...

Broadway,M-1 said...

I buy the Ironkey Military Strength Flash Drives and the
LED Faucet Lights because their cool and the other stuff isn't for me. I think flash drive is cool.
And a faucet that changes colors
is pretty sweet.

mcgown,a-1 said...

I would buy the snack-n-stack utensils.(Dont ask why bc I dont know) The red swingline stapler.(once again dont ask why). I think the LED shower light will be cool too. I think this does it..

Baker,M-1 said...

Okay, because I can't just get a bunch of little gifts, I have to get one expensive gift, I would get the Robosapien Robot. Why? i don't know. It just looks cool (which, unfortunately, is how I pick all my gifts XD)

brittain,w-2 said...

there are 2 things i really liked, but personally i could get tons of stuff off that site because thats how much that site pwns xD

anyway, i would get the Personal Sountrack Shirt because u could add ur own music into ur shirt and play when u go out or whatever. whats the greatest feeling than showing off ur favorite music to jealous people >=)

also i would love the 8GB Lighter Flash Drive because its nifty and come on, its 8gigs and its a lighter!! how fun is that?!

packard,a-2 said...

i would buy the LED faucet light cuz it's awsome to put a little fun into washing your hands, and maybe now my neice and nephews will want to wash their hands more offten. i would also like the usb memory watch because i could go all secret agent and pop out a usb out my watch and it would be niffty to have so i dont forget to grab mine instead it's in my watch which i have every day. also, i would get the chill pills for my parentals cuz seriously they need some!! and finally i would get the liquid penguin paperweight because i like penguins and my papers are always flying away when i turn on my ceilling fan!! yay!! merry christmas!!

reed, k - 2 said...

I would buy the Radio pillow I think it pretty cool and I love listening to music before I go to sleep so I think it would be a pretty good thing to buy for this christmas. Its pretty neat to have a pillow made like a ipod. and the price for it is cheap only 19.95.

villanueva, manuel, N. 1 said...

and then I would get the floating Pendulous Pen Stationery Set and Clock for 9.99

allensworth, z-2 said...

a hundred bucks ain't enough for these sites but if that's all i get then i would spend it on the "sun and moon jars" and on a case of root beer flavored bawls stuff sounds pretty tastey

Patton,A-1 said...

i saw an awesome watch that you can watch stuff on.it was 69 dollars and i would use that 100 dollars to buy it.it is so cool.it has a screen u can watch tv on.i need that so i can have a reason not to pay attention in class.

Gonzalez, C-1 said...

I would buy that magic IQ box to give to my sister or mom just to be a jerk. Tell her its a coupon to a masuese and she'll naw and bite at it like there was no tomorrow. I'd get that "Looking for a japanese girlfriend tee-shirt". The reasons are my own. GODZILLA MINIPLUSH!!! I like godzilla. He's a g and has one in its name so it seems appropriate. Oooo that Airsoft Aussault Rifle with lazer sight, thats sweet. The rest, I'll save up for something nice i guess.

robles,l-3 said...

i would like to buy the bluethtooth casset adapter. 39.99

it all adds up to 96.46 not counting the tax.

otis,j-3 said...

For thinkgeek I would definitely get the LED faucet lights. Its like pouring coolaid into your glass every time you need something to drink. I would spend most of my $100 on the kleargear website. There I found a small swearing punchball which yells out a swear with every punch! It fits nicely on the desktop. Lastly, i would buy the usb desktop missile launcher.

allensworth, d4 said...

the only thing i would even think about buying on this site is the torn usb flash drive....the rest of it sucks but thats pretty funny...i could imagine pullin that out in english to load a paper or sumthin....itd be perdy dern funnae!

och,s-4 said...

Well since I tend to get stressed a lot - not as much this year as last, thank goodness - I would probably spend some of the $100 on various stress balls on the kleargear site...I love those things. On the thinkgeek website I would probably get some of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail shirts - I think they are pretty dang funny. The rest of it I would spend on geek toys, probably...they all look pretty amusing.

allensworth, d4 said...

and the jacket with all the hidden pockets is pretty cool too

GARRETT,K-4 said...

im diggen the electronic drum kit shirt. it would prolly cause headaches 4 some ppl but its still a cool idea. the drums actually make noise.

Byrd,N-6 said...

Trikosko, M-1 said...

Ive always liked lots of pockets in my jackets =D
