OT - Twas the Day Before Christmas: Were you Naughty or Nice?
For all you other chumps that are stuck at work like me, and you lucky bastards that don't have to work today, here's a fun little holiday thread to spread some Christmas cheer. And Kwanza cheer. And catch up on the Hanukkah cheer results. And wish everyone a happy holiday season. Here's some topics:
Me, I already got my new LED television a few weeks ago so I'm thinking I'll get getting a pair of socks and maybe a shirt from M-Den under the tree. That said, there won't be much space for my stuff anyway due to the vast number of gifts that we got our two kids. The oldest is getting a spectacular set of legos that I will likely have to help assemble (I love it!) and the youngest is getting a bunch of chewable toys. She is very likely to get her two front teeth this week and she's been gnawing on anything she can hold in her little hands. The wife is getting her 1,000,000th pair of shoes and some other odds and ends. Her best gift is the Kermit the Frog PJ pants that my son picked out for her. I plan on guilting her into wearing them often.
Happy Holidays!

Yeah, that was just pulling a few guys from the top of the "users by mgopoints" list. Going down a little further, MaizeAndBlueWahoo, joeyb and PurpleStuff would be good reads.
BlueDragon would also be a really interesting read, mainly because everyone on the board would need to find a way to look up at least some stuff. Dude makes some crazy obscure references at times.

I think certain members of MGoBoard are way more obsessed with my supposed obsession with Herm than I am. I can't have made a ~Herm reference more than a handful of times; Oyster just picked up with that one and ran with it.
Also, interviewing Herm would kill him, basically because we all know he's not actually 70 year old guy. Interviewing Herm is like interviewing Santa Claus.
Alsoalso, I'd like to second BlueDragon, and also suggest Owl, simply because I think he's cool.

just think the joke is pretty funny and go along with it for a laugh.

I'm sure he'd be more than pleased to answer my questions. I might be the only one around who could make it more awkward than you.

This is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me on MGoBlog
December 25th, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
I'll try and get an answer from Six Zero, then email you and we can go from there. Assuming this is something you actually have an interest in doing, of course. I don't want to get carried away.
Merry Christmas by the way.

Good luck and early congratulations! How can a girl say no on Christmas???
December 24th, 2012 at 12:28 PM ^
It's only a lock if TomVH says it is, or if BKFinest says it isn't. Have you talked to either of them?
December 24th, 2012 at 6:10 PM ^
No, but I think confirmed it with THE PARTY ROOM

No idea what I'm getting, but every gift I'm giving this year is awesome, so my family better get excited.

What some consider naughty, others consider necessary...

I would like to read poem written by somene from the Michigan Recruiting HQ facebook page:
Not a recruit was stirring, not even Mary Sue Coleman's blouse;
The letters of intent were hung in Brady Hoke's office with care,
In hopes that Derrick Green soon would be there;
The GBW mods were nestled all snug in their beds,
... While visions of Derrick Green danc'd in their heads,
And RoJo's Mama in her 'kerchief, and Treadwell's dad in his cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long soap-opera that was whack,
When out on Tom Beaver's postings there arose such a clatter,
The Recruiting HQ went on their computers to see what was the matter.
Away to his I-Phone, Steven Brown flew like a flash,
Tore through the Rivals message board, and threw up all over his rash.
The moon on the breast gave Mike Farrell in the know,
Gave the lustre of swearing to Ty Issac below;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear?
But a Derrick Green verbal commitment to Michigan! and along came the HQ members celebrating with a beer!

I'll never forget the Flintstones Shooting Gallery I got one year. Best ever.

In the immortal words that Trey just tweeted:

Being on the naughty list means you had way too much fun the other 364 days of the year and need to spend Christmas Day as punishment to balance it out.
December 24th, 2012 at 1:43 PM ^
December 24th, 2012 at 4:48 PM ^
That. Is. Frackin'. Hilarious. My condolences, but that got a nice laugh out of me. It got so much better when the other son-in-law recieved a nice surround sound system!
December 24th, 2012 at 1:51 PM ^
My Uncle gave me a Sparty T-shirt. I was polite and said thanks, but it was regifted to a friend later that week.

I've given and received many cool presents, but this is the present that got away:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=130779939304
If the link doesn't work (it's an expired ebay listing) it was a 1923 vintage belt buckle of the uofm crest. I was going to give it to my bro-in-law and refit/give it a new leather belt strap. But I got outbid at the last second--probably by one of you buggers.
Instead, I went to that vintage Michigan sports store on liberty in Ann Arbor and got him a 1981 media guide (year he was born) with Anthony carter on the cover.

naughty. At the beginning of the football season, I told my wife I'd glady trade an ND and OSU loss for an MSU win. The gods listened.
Although, looking back - if we wouldn't lost 5 in a row I don't know if I would have been able to take it.
December 24th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
was my then-girlfriend (my now-wife) saying 'yes' to my marriage proposal...at Christmas dinner in front of my family 17 yrs ago. complete surprise to everyone but me, high-risk, but ultra high-reward. wife is the greatest, awesome mother of 7.
big gift for mama is her requested driving gps - not a biggie but mama gets what she wants and she doesn't ask for much. big gift for the kids is different: we 'harvested' one of our steers yesterday. it'll hang at my buddy's place for a week and we'll butcher it up and have meat. the older boys each had a shot at deer on the back 40 but came up empty, so we'll take the cow for now.
would be very interesting to see profiles on many of you. and no matter what, Merry Christmas to you all, happy belated Hannukah, and enjoy the new year. go blue!
December 24th, 2012 at 9:22 PM ^
but in case you hadn't seen them, here are the ones Six Zero did, about halfway down this page.
Also, very cool story about your girlfriend/wife. Congrats from 1995!
