Absinthe! Haven’t opened the other gifts yet. Yay, Santa!
Ummmmm, Santa made me work last night, I just got off of work. My “secret Santa” person didn’t give me anything yet….hmmmm. I got a gift card to a local restaurant last week from my mom….oh, I ordered myself Maniac and The Christmas Shorts-stravaganza from Rifftrax yesterday, but it won’t show up for a few days, so I guess my answer is nothing? I got myself some beer on the way home this morning…
Well, I thankfully got….
Mst3k volume 7 (crosses fingers it doesn’t have the edited disc)
The 20th anniversarry T-shirt
Oh, and best of all…..
THE OUT OF PRINT MST3K AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN VHS TAPE :D
For stuff outside of my mst3k presents:
One Family Guy DVD, a Pug calender, a Newburry Comics gift card, two checks, some candy (yum), the Cop Out movie DVD, and a Vista card (now that I’m 18 :D). I believe that’s it. I can update if I find more.
Absolutely nothing, just like last year and the year before that. I’ve been umemployed for 8 months (not the first time that’s happened) and I’m still living at home (mostly because of my constant unemployment problem) so my Unemployment check has to go to bills rather than spending money I don’t have. Like I said, it’s definitely not the first time.
My best friend got me the XIX set, with Gypsy, completing the robot roll call, unless the newer sets will have Cambots
I got a USB turntable that I still have to figure out how it works.
A Deep 13 coffee mug courtesy of Zazzle from my patient, understanding husband. My daughter who inherited the MST gene got a Torgo’s Pizza mousepad. (jealous!)
Merry Christmas, one and all!
I got iTunes gift cards from two different people; I used them to purchase several episodes and download them on my iPod Classic….
I got a TomTom for Christmas, So I can get nagged at by a computer when I get lost and will not ask for directions.
I got a rock.
Actually, I got a lovely Robbie Burns mug, a lovely electric kettle to make Green Tea in, and a lovely wool scarf.
All in all, a lovely Christmas…
I got the latest MST box set for myself as an early gift (heh). I got tickets to go see UCONN women’s basketball at Madison Square Garden to win #88!!! WoooOOOooo! (Also an early gift). I got a gift card for Best Buy, which I’ll probably use for the NEXT MST set (it’s a sickness, ain’t it?)
Don’t know what I got from my sis yet, as I haven’t gone over there yet, that’s later today.
Laura @ #4: I’m sending you a Christmas wish for new job that you’ll enjoy. Here’s hoping you’ll find one soon.
And for everyone else out there who’s having a hard time right now, too. (It sucks out there right now – I hope it gets better for this country and the rest of the world in the not-too-distant future).
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Nothing MST3K related. I’m pretty much updated with all the episodes that have had official releases. My nice brother got me ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ on DVD. One of the few CGI movies I like.
I got The Brothers: Isley vinyl LP from my old college roommate.
My girlfriend’s gift to me is on back order, so who knows.
Since my parents are too lazy to actually pay attention to my life or even shop for me, I bought myself the “Who Is Harry Nilsson and Why is Everybody Talkin’ About Him?” DVD, a dress shirt, an argyle sweater and season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I bought volume 19 the day it came out, I couldn’t mess around ;)
MST3K hooded sweatshirt! (and knives and a Castle DVD and some books and a silver necklace)
I got the XIX boxset with Gypsy for myself not long after Thanksgiving. I simply couldn’t wait for Christmas. But today I got a very awesome new guitar, an AmEx gift card, and an AMAZING new cardigan. A great Christmas, I must admit. Happy Holidays to everyone and @ Laura (#4) I’ve been there and all I can say is things will get better if you just hang in there. I personally would like to wish you a Merry Christmas.
I pretty much swept the Rifftrax Shorts DVD releases. I had put several on my Amazon wish list and apparently the whole family took that and ran, ran like the wind.
The amazing thing is there wasn’t duplication even though I know they weren’t coordinating their purchases.
Nothing. No family, no presents, and my crockpot blew up when I tried to roast the Christmas dinner. :(
Only present I got was a box of imported European cookies from my landlord who has a habit of bringing bakeshop muffins when he visits.
Didn’t even have enough Christmas budget left to catch up on my Shout boxsets on Amazon (I’m a few behind), but I at least managed to find the 50 Years of Mad Magazine DVD-Rom for 60% off, and am spending the weekend with Instant Netflix, studying up on my classic 70’s movies.
Nothing MST related, but I got a few DVDs: The How to Train Your Dragon 2-DVD set, the third (and final) season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and a few Sherlock Holmes episodes (the Jeremy Brett version. He’s awesome!). I also got some cheese and crackers, a gift certificate for Starbucks, and a couple little Totoro figures.
Our copy of Rifftrax Maniac arrived in the mail yesterday and we watched it immediately. Great stuff.
I gots:
The new gypsy volume
Red Zone Cuba (DVD) and
I Accuse my Parents (DVD)
The gypsy xix set, a wii, some sweet games, an itunes giftcard, the new spike animated maquette, and a fifth of jager! Thanks santa(I mean friends and family! LOL!)
MST3K XIX and a netbook.
I got the usual array of games, movies, and anime. But I did give my brother a copy of last year’s Rifftrax Shortsravaganza since he’s a big Weird Al fan.
I got nothin’, followed by lots of more nothin’. Not all bad, since I can still enjoy sites like this.
Well, I got nothing MST3K related, but I got my brother a Torgo’s Pizza hat and the Shorts calendar. But I’m going to use the money I got to get the latest DVD set with Gypsy and preorder the next one.
Money, and lots of it.
@Laura. I hear ya. Being unemployed sucks.

(i got slippers and a new hairbrush ;) )
I got the new MST3K set with the Gypsy figure. YAAAY! Outside of that, the new Amy Sedaris book, “Simple Times: Crafts For Poor People”, American Dad Volume 5, The Family Guy Kit (which is actually sort of lame), the new Ministry cd, a cool new Rubik’s cube called “Scruble” that has letters on it and is a cross between a Rubik’s Cube and Scrabble and this bitchen new laptop that I’m writing this on.
I got cash the gift the keeps on giving. And video games.
New travel kit and a nice pair of sleep pants
I got MST3K XIX with Gypsy. Now all I need is Crow and I’ll have the whole crew sans Cambot.
Walking Boots, Gift cards for: Taco Bell, Subway, Big John Steak and Onion, Wendy’s (to Wendy’s!) & Buffalo Wild Wings. Nuts, headphones and a good book.
Also bought myself volume XIX :)
Back To The Future trilogy on blu-ray (amongst other cool things, but that was the one I specifically made myself NOT buy so people would have something to get me. :) … ) Woo!!!
Also got some exotic coffee! (gonna go watch Red zone cuba)
The Amazing Colossal Man on VHS! Actually both regular and MST version, due to a slight mixup, but I’m happy with both.
Dammit, I got herpes again. That’s the last time I use that escort service.
new chuck taylor all star lacless for cycling!
@ Trickymutha- You’re going to need those walking boots with all those fast food gift cards!
My sister had Santa to bring me the entire run of Red Dwarf. Now I’m having a smegging Merry Christmas.
A GREAT Amazing Spiderman shirt, 2 batman logo shirts, a Superman logo shirt & mug, and a top 100 Horror movies book
And an awesome Wizard of Oz giant snowglobe/music box…with a yellow brick road…3 Globes are on it..2 small ones and a large one
I loved everything I got
So far, $100 in cash and several shirts, the only good shirt has Ford Mustangs on it, and I won’t be wearing short-sleeve shirts possibly until March but I’ll be patient. Nothing MST-related but I buy that stuff quickly anyway.
MERRY XMAS ALL!!
A comic book version of The Screwtape Letters and The Encyclopedia of Weird Westerns.
“Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I’d like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey **** he is! Hallelujah! Holy ****! Where’s the Tylenol?”
