it'll be something for him to chew on, not really play with, except to bang things with and make some noise.

Of course China gets dragged into the conversation whenever consumer goods are at topic.

Gun control advocates: that's your cue to criticize my family for warping the minds of our impressionable children to the detriment of their safety. On the other hand, he'll grow up knowing how to use guns safely. Will your kids?

What I didn't get was my Christmas Stat pay.

Some explanation is needed.

I got a new shotgun and some more power tools! The perfect Christmas gifts. Already put over a hundred rounds through the shotgun blasting some skeet.

skeet? what ethnicity does that refer to?

I got a handy little crescent wrench with a bunch of knife blades in the handle. Been trying to imagine a situation where you'd need a crescent wrench and a knife at the same time for three days now.
Also a keychain thingie that says it can smash auto glass, just in case I go off the road and I'm submerged and too stupid to open a window to get out....

Them nasty clay types who just sit there all quiet and smug. They need to be blown away every now and then!

Got my airbrush and paints to go with it (finally)
Left 4 Dead, Ghostbusters and Fallout 3 for my Xbox
My mom got me 12 dragon statues and a stand (awesome)
The whole family got Wii Sports Resort
and the wife bought me some sexy lingerie (it looks better on her though so I gave it back)

Any Spotted Dick or Plum Pudding?

Mmmmm love Plum Pudding, it was my British grandmothers favourite dessert at Christmas... I bought one to take home this Christmas but forgot to heat it.. and left it in Québec. bummer... I was fortunate enough to benefit from both cultures during the holidays... I really miss my grannies now.. some things you just can replicate like home recipes.
