Well, I don't drink much and if someone invites me to a dinner party, that's usually the best kind of dinner gift.

For those of you who have received Christmas presents, will you confess if you peeked at them? If it's something you don't like, will you re-gift them?

Wait a minute! You don't like the Stooges?!? :shock: I thought it was practically encoded in our DNA to have an appreciation for Moe, Larry, and Curly....like turning our heads around when a pretty girl walks by, thumb dexterity with the remote and joystick, and leaving the cap off the toothpaste.

Say it ain't so Cro. :no:

:lol: Ummm, well, I was going to use that line, but thought better of it lest I want to have every female Lionbacker assume I am chauvinist pig.

Speaking of which (female linebackers not chauvinist pigs) they seem to be in short supply these days. What happened to all of them?!?

I think 120dB has been breaking their hearts, one by one, and driving them into seclusion.

Seems they just don't make enough NOISE...

A good idea for potential re-gifts you may receive from the well meaning this year. Save them unopened/unused and donate them to the relevant charity of your choice for Christmas next year or even earlier in the year if you don't have the storage space.

i have no issue with re-gifting. If I give something to someone and they don't like/want it, I am happier to know they gave it to someone who would appreciate it rather than keep it. As such I will take things I cannot use/dislike and do the same thing. I will even explain to the original giver as to why I gave it away. If they cannot accept the reasoning then were they really a friend to begin with?

It is a good thing you don't mind re-gifting as Rider fans will be getting 2007 Grey Cup merchandise for the next 20 or so years before they win another Cup!! :wink: :wink: .........j/k, congrats on your win wildthing :thup:
Thank you for everything you did for OUR Lions Mr.Ackles, we will never forget you...RIP
