For me, it was a Buffalo Braves cap (made by New Era) and a mint condition Johnny West action figure, made by Marx, in its' original box, with almost all of the original peices...when I was a kid, this was my absolute favorite toy...not sure what inspired my sister to buy it for me, but it sure braught back a lot of good memories...when I got my original one, around 1972, my dog (which my dad hated!) chewed it up on Christmas night...fearing my dad would have a fit, and get rid of the dog (Alvins' positon in the family was always tenuous) my oldest sister snuck out and baught me another one a day or two after Chrismas, before the old man found out...

I actually did get a rock. It's actually petrified dinosaur poop that my dad got me as a kind of gag gift - but it makes a pretty cool addition to my rock collection

 

Also got a 1TB external hard drive, and the 'Perrault said to Rico' book someone else mentioned - very good reading so far

Got a new set of Callaway Big Bertha Irons..........

 

And my wife backed the van into my visiting Parent's car in the driveway this morning. :devil:

Are they the 2008 version? Are they red? If so they are the same ones I have. Nice irons. You don't have to crush the ball for distance. Nice easy swing and club does the rest.

Keurig coffee maker thingy, a collection of hooded sweatshirts, lots of foreign beer.

 

Cool. I'm into good coffee. I'll tell you what though... Up till 4 years ago, i went through a $40-60 pot once a year. I burned my way through a bunch of mr. coffees, black and deckers, krupps, etc. for hte past 10 years or so. Same thing with my parents. They go through $120-160 worth of pots every year (they have two houses). Then I sucked it up and spent $120 on a single pot. I got the Bunn nhbx pot. My parents refuse to upgrade because it doesn't have a timer, no clock, just an old school flip switch. I'll tell you what though, this thing still makes a perfect pot in 2 minutes, the water is hot, there's no grounds spilled into the pot. It is just a small water heater, copper pipes, and a burner. Best friggin coffee pot in the world, hands down. Yet, there's my parents, still burning $$ on pot after pot. They work great for 6 months... makes a decent pot of coffee in 10-12 minutes, and the burner automatically shuts off after 2 hours. Great. I'll get up at 6am, pour the water and grounds into thing and still have a perfect pot before a regular pot is 1/2 done with its "auto on" cycle. My advice to you: use your pot till it dies in a couple years, then get a bunn and have great coffee for the next 50 years.

Hey new GPS owners--

 

I got one of those new garmin friction mounts for my nuvi.

 

I've had issues with my sunction mount falling off, esp. in the winter--I'd recommend the friction one.

I hate the window mount thing, and it won't stay standing up in my change compartment, so i'm planning on ordering that piece. I love the garmin though, its a great tool if you're traveling, or if you need to run somewhere in town that's unfamiliar to you.

That's what we did. After getting FIOS TV, I had to upgrade. Picture is PHENONEMOL!!! :devil:

Prices have come down so much it was doable. Even got a surround system to go with it. Fantastic. Now my only gripe is when there is something that isn't HD. I would say 3/4s of the games on NHL Center Ice are HD but I get pissed when one I want to watch isn't. Spoiled

Yeah, one really notices the difference once HD has been in the house for a couple days. My wife got me one more present two days ago, it doubles as my 30th birthday present... 2009 Nissan Frontier.
