Feel free to begin a gift exchange amongst yourselves.

Apologies to Craig, but are you actually Santa? I don't know how anyone could top any of these ideas! You really put a lot of thought into each one of us! You might know us better than we ourselves do. I'd chip in for every single one of them, there's not a "white elephant" in the bunch.

Now what shall we get for you? The Chia Pet I had for you just seems so inadequate now.

I've got my thinking cap on, help me out here, guys...Every studio toy and musical instrument that you ever wanted? Or how about "I Dream of Jeannie" super-powers for your whole family to transport you all to and from your station anytime you want so that you never, ever have to be on the receiving end of posts about the "Evils Of Voicetracking" ever again?

Hey Merkin, I thought i'd give you a custom Sammy Hagar table lamp made from the empty bottle of Cabo Wabo i'm gonna win in a couple of weeks. It will be a little late but just remember it's the thought that counts!

"The Chia Pet I had for you just seems so inadequate now."

Ha ha ha! Really!

How about a syndication contract for Chris's VT show? Astoria, Tillamook, Lincoln City, Newport, Coos Bay of course, Gold Beach, Brookings, and for the heck of it, Eureka, CA.

Hah Chris, that's great. I'm waking up with a chuckle and a smile on my face, though beer at 6am ... back in my young and stupid days, yeah.

I think Mrs. M needs the beer at the moment. I think she thinks I'm Craig Adams.

Ok, I'll simply re-gift it.

I give Mrs. M a six-pack of IPA.

Skep nails it! Anywhere you go on 101, from WA to CA you get the Taylors!

I'm having a beer right now! I need it! Babe M had "night terrors" AT 2 AM. Poor thing!

Hey DT, that bet only went one way, Either I win a bottle or nobody does! How about the $300 Margaritaville Marg maker Mr. M won at his company Christmas party? It gets a 5 star rating on Amazon. But he's hoping to return it, we need the cash for our dog's major $urgery this week.

(Seriously, all I want for Christmas is to have him pull through this...prayers/good thoughts are needed and appreciated on Thursday)

Now what do we get some of our other posters here?

Shyguy - A job you love that pays millions!
Entre Nous - ? Hmmm. I'm thinking...LS help out here!
The Dude - too easy, endless White Russian fixin's
Iris - Continued good health and our thanks for midday radio and a cure!
Brian - superb employees who always show up on time and think outside the box; and a giant steel-toed boot to kick DT's ass with in Fantasy Football! (I'll keep the other one)
Craig - the aforementioned Thomas Kinkade "fine art" painting of Graceland, and maybe his beeyootifull cuckoo clock that crows every 15 minutes and has real simulated moving "waters".

Justin Timberfake: Case of Duct Tape to hold the Yugo together.

Beano: Lifetime supply of Beano.

BunsoSteel: Thigh Master.

Cochise: Toe Cheese log!


My Present to all here should I ever win the lottery would be to get everyone on the Sammy Hagar Cabo Wabo Birthday Bash Cruise. Can you say "Mas Tequila"!

Merry Christmas everyone! Great list Chris!

I hope all of you and yours find this holiday time fun filled, happy and healthy!

Chris, I'm happy to report that Santa came early this year and we may have a Christmas in late July.

Vitalogy-

Hey man congrats!!!! Let's hope for a healthy pregnancy and birthing experience.

Vita I hope you choose to be in the birthing room with your wife. I never really appreciated the miracle of that until I actually experienced it. The first time you meet your child's eyes and the first time you hold your child will stay with you forever.

Thanks for letting us know. This group will find other ways to celebrate for you and your wife.

WHOOOOHOOOO!!

Thank you all for sharing the best virtual universe on the Web. This is by far the coolest group ever assembled

I wish you a season of love, hope, and happiness that continues to amaze you in the seasons to come.

I wish you peace, and dreams fulfilled.

I send my thoughts and prayers to all of you.

Merry Christmas!

[makes blatent uncouth man sounds!] -->W00T!

Nice going! When the day comes, you gotta post up some pics somewhere. I'm happy you and your wife are on this journey.

Think you know the world? Yeah, just try passing it on to the young ones! Sheesh. Great fun! And you get to play more too.

Hey Vit! I've got happy tears in my eyes right now for you! The best gift EVER! Here's to a healthy and fun 40 weeks! We'll need to have a PDX baby shower for you, hopefully we can do it on our Cabo cruise with DT!

Entre, I'm so glad you've finally joined us!

Chris.....
I can ONLY hope....

"A moderate Republican in the White House."

Who would that be? Is someone new entering the race? Romney was practically oozing oily slime with Tim Russert this AM...he was Mr. Slick, even Mr. M was turned off, after he told me, "come watch our next (p)resident"...

Sorry, I digress, back to Holiday talk...Hey, how about that Pyle?

SHAZA-A-A-AM!

>>Justin Timberfake: Case of Duct Tape to hold the Yugo together.

I was thinking more in terms of a real car instead.

Wayne: The Kenny G 10 CD box set.

Oooh, that's a good one, Wayne'll love it!

And Randy, I'm giving you this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-ART-DECO-ATOMIC-RETRO-MODERN-EAMES-ERA-MUSEUM_W0QQit emZ350006113134QQihZ022QQcategoryZ69854QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

And I'm getting one of these for everybody:

Chris Taylor: "I think Mrs. M needs the beer at the moment. I think she thinks I'm Craig Adams."

I've thought about this and the secret needs to come out! I'm not hidding this fact anymore. I am both Chris Taylor & Craig Adams!!!!!! Note I picked my first name "Chris" which is short for Christmas. I grew up living on S.W. Taylor St. I lead a double life! This would explain why Craig Adams has never married. I am married! To Barb! Watch, next I'll deny all this as Chris Taylor in my next post, just screw with you all!

Since I'm Chris Taylor, you already know what I'm giving you for Chistmas but incase you're not happy with my selection above, here's a runner up gift. "The Planters Nut Dispener" It's anarchy to eat nuts out of a jar! Everyone needs their nuts dispensed one by one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/new-planters-nut-dispenser-brand-new-in-box_W0QQitemZ1901804 26750QQihZ009QQcategoryZ3894QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

I'm happy to have any number of nuts dispensed my way. A handful would probably just overwhelm me, and I'd probably over-fondle them, instead of just popping them in my mouth.

On second thought, I get my fill of nuts right here on a daily basis.

So, it's Chris Adams then?

Got it.

(Yeah, extra nutty today.)

Adam's is my favorite, even if you need to stir it up first to get rid of that funky layer on top! No added sugar needed...it's just so smooth and luscious!

Thank you so very much Chris. I always hope to come off in the middle most of the time, so a tie is great.

Wow, a whole DECO/RETRO/MOD Museum! Thanks, Mrs M. I guess my gift of a better looking Pacer pales in comparison.

>>It's anarchy to eat nuts out of a jar!

I prefer anarchy with my nuts.

As soon as I get my present I'm putting it up on Ebay to raise a few bucks to get my wife a car that works. The old buick has a 180k and a slight oil in the radiator/water in the oil problem. Since she drives 100 miles a day to work and back and for some reason hates to be stranded, (no sense of adventure) I need to do something quick. (like several months ago)

P.S. What year was 24k considered middle class, and how do I get there?

Chris, may all your voicetracks be smooth and sound almost live. Thank you, and all you all.

Merry CHRIS tmas and best to all in the new year.

Just saved more than 8 bucks on stamps for your cards. Anyone got a good used car for 8 bucks?*

* no yugos Geos ok.

Oil in water/water in oil = blown head gasket dude. With the radiator cap off (let it cool down first) and the car running do you see air bubbles in the radiator? Better get her that Mercedes for Christmas and be quick about it before she gets stuck on the side of the road and you get to sleep with the dog in the Dog House, if he will even let you!

I've a geo convertable I'll let go cheap ($1500 ), and yeah, and it leaks, in fact, the whole rag top is covered in duct tape but its a major step up in cool from the Yugo.

My enviro-conscious wife wants me to build her a grease car. If only your Geo had a diesel under the hood...!

nice thought for a thread, Chris, but "...if you don't have enough gum for the whole class..."

Sorry Mike. I figured those I missed would get listed at some point.

We'll get you a gift before the big day.

I'm giving him the Clap-


per!

Well this is kind of choice. I found it funny.

To All My Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.


To My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Ha!

That says it all too!

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm starting a whole 10 days off at about noon today! ('bout freaking time!)

May you all have a tolerable Christmas and a half-way decent New Year.

Now that I've figured out how to post stuff online, here is Randy's Tacky Christmas Card_TM 2007 Front and Inside.

Just for laughs, here is last year's edition, which was mailed out in October 2006 Front and Inside.

Nice!

Love the Sammy shot! And a great idea too!

I've been building up to just making my own cards. It's much better to do that, than spend on those really expensive pre-made cards. I'm gonna do it next year for sure.

Do you buy a specific kind of paper, or what?

I use Staples matte white greeting card stock, which is pre-scored for easy folding. The greeting card stock renders brighter colors than standard white card stock.

Nice. Thanks.

I've got all year to come up with some artwork and a theme. Like yours a lot.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

I miss you when I'm gone, I've had a few changes this year so I can't come by as often. But, when I do, I see you are all still crazy as ever, so I feel right at home!

I wish for all of us and the world:

Peace, Love, and Understanding.

Warner,

Here's to hoping all your changes are for the better.
It's a brighter place when you're here.

Merry Christmas!
