Alright, Let's Get Real!: What's the Worst Christmas Present You Received this Year?

Someone gave me a sundial!

A Sundial! I mean, wtf??

I know it's the thought that counts. Just help me to understand the thought! mad

(Actually it's a nice piece...)

At least nobody gave me a book of deliberately bad poetry. Oh. Wait a minute! evil wink

Sure! Here's a stanza from Solyman Brown's "The Dentologia," a long poem about TEETH. mr.green

First a little bit about Mr.

Brown:

Solyman Brown was extremely active in the world of orthodontics. He ran a dental supplies outlet in Connecticut. He founded the American Society of Dental Surgeons. He formed the New York Teeth Manufacturing Company. ( eek ) Most impressively, however, he wrote a poem on dentistry. It's full title is 'The Denologia, A Poem on the Diseases of the Teeth and their Proper Remedies with Notes, Practical, Historical, Illustrative, and Explanatory.' It runs to 54 pages. ( eek )


Here's a little taste for you:

Whene'er along the ivory disks are seen,
The rapid traces of the dark gangrene,
When caries [cavities I assume?] comes, with stealthy pace, to throw
Corrosive ink-spots on those banks of snow,
Brook no delay, ye trembling, suffering Fair,
But fly for refuge to the Dentist's care.


mr.green

I got about a dozen stuffed animals. What the hell! I am not five anymore. All they do is take up room that I don't have. And the worst part was that my mom gave me the biggest guilt trip about the stuffed bear she gave me. She tied a card around its neck that said "I love you Pammy and please take me back to Santa Cruz to love me too."

THANKS A LOT mad

Oh well. This was the first holiday ever (ever!!) that I didn't receive a Barbie of some kind or another. Geez.

TWO FUCKING COPIES of the Teen Wolf / Teen Wolf Too DVD. Even my godly obscenity-laced vocabulary can't describe how pathetically shitty that is. big grin

My future in-laws got this fucked up looking tube from one of their siblings (I think my father-in-law's brother or something)...we couldn't figure out what in the fuck it was supposed to be. I said it was some sort of pipe or a musical instrument. It looked like a tailpipe, had a few small holes, one big hole, and a little tail thing on it...My fiancee said it was probably some really shitty art.

My future father-in-law eventually ended up just calling his brother, and found out the thing was a bird-feeder. nuts

I pair of nail-clippers from my grandma. smile From the Great Smokey Mountains. smile

However, I appreciate the she thought of me while she was on vacation, and she also got me several other things to compensate. When I opened the box, and those nail clippers fell out, I was thinking, "What the..." which is better than what my Aunt Linda said last year when grandma got her a singing duck. eek

Not to sound unappreciative, but...one of my customers, one who tips large and often, gave me one of those "Harriet Carter" boxed set of 3 tin "pails". They nested in one another, and was so cheap, my daughter could've done a better job painting them.

I received two gifts this year and I loved them both! My grandma bought me a ring and my mother bought me a coat I had been wanting. YAY!

So, I didn't get a bad gift in the bunch! smile
