  • The Pacific/Band of Brothers Blu Ray Collection
    Super 8 Blu Ray
    John Adams Blu Ray
    3 new Denver Broncos shirts

    and...

    A remote controlled helicopter that my cats like to activate godzilla mode on and try to swat out of the sky. My step son was able to take it down with a well placed nerf dart from across the room.

    Long board for cruising to the beer store and down at the beach. I'm 40, but I can still tear it up.

  • Wife and I had decided to get each other very little for Christmas and focus on gifts for the kids. So we had just gotten little things.

    Then the 71-inch Sammy DLP in the main theater died on Christmas eve.fingergun

    I replaced the lamp and it still isn't working. Looking online, it's quite possibly the logic board, for which the part itself is 1k. Could just be the ballast or the color wheel, but the TV repair places quoted way too much just for the diagnostics, and that's not even taking into account the cost of the part and the labor for installing it.

    Sooo, I bought a new 70-inch 240Hz 3D Sharp Aquos Quattron LED yesterday. Should be here on January 4th.

    Now, technically, when you buy it with your own money, it's probably not a gift. But it feels like one.biggrin

    I called the Salvation Army to donate the TV today. When I told them what kind of TV it was, they said "oh, we have a warehouse full of those things. No thanks."

    Anybody want a 5-6 yr old 1080p 71-inch DLP that should be relatively cheap to fix?

    The Suque could buy it on the cheap from N.O.D. and then catapult it at Greg Paulus. He'll never see it coming, and the weapon has plausible deniability.

    do you know NOD? i'm just shocked he didn't get the 80-inch Sharp.

    My dad got my 14 y/o brother one and also got me one because "everyone should get at least one toy on Christmas"

    I'm 24 and I've played with my helicopter more than my brother has his.

    RaiseHigh said... No. This is jtp's doing. He's kept me around for his bizarre HOF resume.

  • My sister got me a kindle ebook called Prince of Thorns. Dark fantasy(only read 1st chapter). 13 year old antihero main character starts off leading a band of ruffians in an assault on a farm. he rapes farmer's daughters before burning them alive, but not before beheading the dad and telling him what he has in store for his daughters. Charming kid!

    Not sure id call it loot.

    Many of Pitt's 58 "rushing attempts" were the result qb Tino Sunseri fleeing the pocket like a man whose clothes were on fire.

    I got mine a few days before Christmas and broke it that same day. New parts are on the way though.

    uhoh

    Srsly though, the price for the 80-inch right now is ridiculous ($4.4 to 5k vs $2800 for the 70-inch, and the 80-inch doesn't even have 3d capability).

    Also, would've been a stretch to put it in place and not force me to move my mains too close to the corners of the room. They need space.

  • "ohhh, are you sure we even have a room for a big tv? let's just get that cute little one." you sound like a woman.

  • there's no age limit for rc helicopters. but yea, start out with a crappy one because you are going to break it. once you know what you're doing it's hard to break them.

    My depth perception was off I guess. I have 18 foot ceilings in my living room and it went up faster than I thought and I really did not know that it was about to hit the ceiling. Next step: It came down faster than I thought.

    It still turns on, but whenever I try to fly it, the thing veers off course and clips its two sets of top rotors together..

    I could definitely take it off your hands, but it is in New Orleans, correct? My master electrician would have that thing working like the day you took it out of the box, but considering it would cost 4 hunge just to get it to MD, I think I have to pass.
