So what kind of cool stuff did everyone get for Xmas? We kept things pretty low-key this year. Mostly music, dvds and games. My favorite present was this box set:

I didn't get jack squat. I'm santa. I gave a ton of shit. (I got a fruitbasket from a grateful employer…does it count?)

It depends on what was in the basket. :)

When you said fruit in a basket I immediately assumed Rhett had given himself to you in a very original way….and that your wishes had finally come true.

This wasn't from the G'ma that used to hook you up with a case of beer was it?

No. The OG'ma went to the great gig in the sky a few years back.

I may swing by the cemetery this weekend and pour a forty over her grave.

I got that too…… Its a bit odd isnt it? Is boys dont cry punk? Or Joe Jackson?

Plus have you read the booklet? The writer need to check up on his history.

Still the music is pretty great.


It turned into a Punk Christmas. I got a Sid Vicious doll a clash photo book by Bob Gruen. some fall Cds, the vicious white things CD, featuring Sid on vocals and Glen Matlock on the Bass.

I guess I just bought a new 17'' powerbook and a new car too……….. But do Christmas presents to oneself count?

It sure got black awfully quick then.

I would have thought it would have been me that Mankie would have hit, but he was a perfect gentleman. Maybe he got the violence out of his system before I arrived.
