The dreaded Christmas list. -I hope no one minds but with lots and lots of updates.

[one cut]

I hope no one minds but I am going to try to compose my Christmas list here.

The reason is that, some time ago, our family agreed that there would not be any gift giving.
This took the stress out of the holidays.
Now some one has let the weasel out of the bag and started to badger me what I want for Christmas.

I said that I really don't want anything, but they are not leaving the point alone.

The other problem That I now face again is
I am very difficult to shop for.
many of the things I want are hard to get.
or to expensive.
or to cheep.

I am Sheldon cooper.

I have based my list heavily on the most excellent thread Gentlemanly products that last a lifetime

reserved for the updates and the list. Any one have a mountain cabin i can hide in till January ?
a luxury yacht in the Mediterranean ?

no guns. nice Idea but they are to expensive, and I don't have the license.

Already? It isn't even Halloween yet and the trees are full of leaves.

My rule of thumb for Christmas lists is: if I haven't seen snow, I don't want to see Christmas lists.

Yeah, it's a little too soon. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks before I start private messaging you guys my Amazon.com wishlist.

I usually tell women if something is useful, dangerous, or motorized a guy will probably like it, and the odds of liking increase dramatically with any combination of the three.

I remember an old Berry's World cartoon one mid-November with a Pilgrim looking at Santa prancing about. He said, "What's the matter with thee? Tis not even Thanksgiving yet."
