Author Topic: What did you get for Christmas? Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-26-2005 01:33 AM                     Neil Peart - great drummer with "RUSH!"  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-26-2005 03:37 AM                        You'll Find Out: Kay Kyser, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi & Peter Lorre! Lucky Dad! Folks at work gave me a digital camera for some reason. I have been taking pictures of everybody's fingers with the digital camera so they'll feel it's appreciated. Thank goodness they didn't give me a dental camera. I gave both my nephews a Radio Shack Remote Controlled Indoor Helicopter each. I thought that they would be useful mostly for picking off ornaments from the tree, but I have since found out that my sister (their mother) got a new chandelier last month. It's true that you can receive more joy from giving presents than receiving them.  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 12-26-2005 01:28 PM                        I gave myself a 19inch LCD monitor and a new graphics card (X850XT). I gave my parents my home theater sound system (too big for my dinky trailer to handle).  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-29-2005 09:56 AM                        Betsy and I got tickets for the live touring production of "The Lion King" when it plays in Rochester this April.

One of my Mom's friends, bluegrass musician Ken Terry, passed away in November. I gave her a collection of his LPs on CD. I transferred my Dad's All-State Chorus albums to CD, labels & all (did you know it takes lightscribe 30 minutes to burn this... ?) The extended family got an abridged Lasher-only edition of the "Visions of Summer" DVD. I got... ...floppy disks, to transfer my screenplays from my dying laptop (using the command prompt, no less) ...cassette tapes, to make groovy 2-hour mixes for when I'm on the road. ...Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 w/ Coaster Cam, so I can ride the rides I've designed. ..."Peter Frampton: Extended Editions" CD. I think that's it.  |  IP: Logged Patrick Dunn Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: newark, DE, United states Registered: Aug 2005 posted 01-02-2006 07:22 PM                        I got a 60 gig music video Ipod which is awesome, and a new DVD player for my bedroom (since my old one would play any disc other than a DVD).
