Yes I used the word “Holiday” instead of “Christmas” just to tick a few folk off. Also, I don’t care if I get Christmas presents, New Year’s Presents, Thanksgiving Presents, “Because I Rock” Day Presents….or any other holiday that falls ’round this (or any) time of year.

Now - The annual wish list. As usual, there are items here for someone who’s just won the Lotto and items for someone who can’t afford the Lotto ticket itself. Rock on! Of note, if someone thinks of something I actually want more than what’s on this list - check with the wife, she can poke me

1 - Items from www.despair.com. These people are genii (plural of genius? )
2 - Video Games - Any from the list, or a Gamestop/EBGames gift card (list below).
3 - Wireless controllers for Xbox - I have 2 Gamecube wireless controllers, so I’m set there. I’ve heard Logitec Cordless Precision is good, and the reviews of this one seem to show it’s ok.
4 - XBox 360 system - Not the core crap, the real $399 set, and only with the media remote included. This will be 100% impossible to find, and under no circumstances should anyone spend more than $399 on it. If you find one, sweet. If not, no eBay for this one or you’d spend twice that.
5 - 26″ or 30″ 16:9 HDTV (Samsung makes a nice one) or similar for the downstairs sitting room. Support for 720p and 1080i please if Tube - if LCD, I think 720p is what most do.
6 - A way to store and/or display my video game collection. I’ve got games I play, games that look pretty, and games I don’t play very often at all and right now they’re everywhere. I’m open to any ideas to help fix that problem.
7 - Truck accessories. I love my truck - so anything for it is cool. Especially if anyone knows how to actually *remove* cigarette smell…
8 - House stuff. Anything to aid in my homeownership skills and/or projects. Current projects include PlowHouse ™, Barn Repair, Turtle/Koi Pond Area, and other stuff I’ve probably forgotten. Things that come to mind include something to allow us to sit and play my fancy chess set which is collecting dust and a cordless handheld vac (that actually works) for cleaning up messes I make doing wiring jobs, cleaning cars, etc…
9 - iTunes gift cards - always welcome, but not for $400 or anything
10 - Thundercats Season 1, Volume 2 DVD set - I already have Volume 1, now I need the rest!
11 - www.penny-arcade.com is releasing a comic book of all their stuff. It won’t make it for xmas, but this sampler will. Info can be found here.
