Monday Night Talking Football. My brothers and I received our first one on Christmas Eve, around 1971 or so. We stayed up all night with dad playing that game. For years, even as adults, we would pull out the game and play tournaments. Eventually the records scratched and became impossible to understand.

Christmas 1988

I probably ran at least 4 marathons trying to beat the SOB Cheetah on the Power Pad.

Stupid gadget play always killed me.

Got these my sophomore year of high school for Christmas. Parents played the slow burn on them. I had just gotten into golf and was hitting an old set of Wilson irons my grandfather gave me. I hit these at a pro shop once I had started striking the ball well, and fell in love with them. That Christmas they bought me a ton of new golf gear, and I just knew they were mine. End of opening gifts, the one I was sure was the clubs ended up being a new golf bag. They went all day not letting me off the hook, and that night put them under the tree while I was exchanging gifts with my best friends next door. Still golf with them. Haven't found a set of irons yet I can hit better.

I got this exact set back for Christmas back in 1999. I also still play them today. That same year I wrapped up a piece of cat **** for my girlfriend, now wife.

Hi there, I like to play video games, but only in my spare time. I used to play multi player video games with my brother. Last birthday, my father gifted me video game which was the best surprise I received from anyone. While discussing he told me that this idea he got from his friend who suggested him about Instant-Gaming for buying latest games.

Does it hurt that they hate you or are you blissfully oblivious?

Best gift I ever gave/received:

Girlfriend asked for a "how to" video (this was VHS days) for giving BJ's. Bought her a Nina Hartley instructional and she went from amateurish to top of the charts. Gift kept giving for several years. To whoever is benefiting these days, you are welcome.
