Ben Whatsisname Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 I got my share of storebought trinkets, but these are my favorite Christmas gifts from this year: - My daughter's face as she unwrapped her very first christmas present. (She turned 1 year old on the 11th of Dec) - My face as she truely walked for the first time on Christmas morning, heading for the tree. Her previous record had been three accidental steps as she attempted to remain standing. This walk was intentional and a good ten feet non-stop. - Her face as she ate/wore Christmas dinner, eating all the same things as the big folks, but in smaller portions. - My face as she managed to beg three whole peices of pie away from the adults. (Who knew one kid could hold so much food?) - My parents' and inlaws' faces when we came down to visit for the holidays. - My wife's face as I kissed her under the mistletoe and told her how much I loved her. - And my face when I kissed my daughter's cheek under the mistletoe only to find out she's teething again as she turned and bit my lip with a giggle.

Meksilon Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 Originally posted by JiveMonkey What is a disc-file? A book that holds 12CM optical discs (CDs or DVDs... or both). Very useful for my DVD collection, I also files my soundtrack CDs along-side the movie. =mek= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad people like you are around I'm so old I fart dust, kid. Just kidding. I am 29 and (physically anyways) I am an adult. But, I did play Maniac Mansion when it was a new release and before that I was into text and text/graphic adventures. After Maniac Mansion, I was hooked on Lucasfilms/LucasArts games and have remained a strong fan of adventure games in general. You can also find me in the planet quake forums as Gutter Rat (Which is also where I swiped this new avatar from... I like it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Head Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 originally, boxing day was about giving things (other than skin diseases) to those lovely monetarily-disadvantaged peasants.

Metallus Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 I think you're supposed to talk about the quote if you use them. Also: You worry too much. It's kind of hard to reply if we don't observe (and by that, I mean read) each other's posts, so quit freaking out when you get quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
