'Tis the Season

What's On Your Christmas Wish List?

Hinty hint hint.

That question, of course, is a trick 'em, dick 'em way of telling you - psst! - here's what's on my list.

What I don't want in my stocking this Christmas: Coal. A Snuggie. Tiger Woods' sloppy seconds. Swine Flu. Wade Phillips' resume.

What has caught me eye this season - other than a copy of the new Tiger's Wood porn - is something I saw last night called the PowerMat. It's basically this rubbbery mat that just lays there. Anywhere. And when you place your phone on it - presto, charge-oh.

Cool, eh?

(UPDATE: A caller to 105.3 The Fan just told me it's a joke. Have to buy a special case, which isn't compatible with iPhone accessories and chargers, etc. Slump shoulders. Yanking down stocking.)

I suck at cords and charges and cigarette lighters and this seems like one of those "why didn't I think of that" ideas every dork shouldn't be without. Or am I missing something?

Wanna see the other hottest gifts this year? Right this way. But get crackin', only 10 shopping days left.

According to Amazon.com, this year you want a wireless reading device, a programmable robot, a Lego game, a Stars Wars trainer, a ... what the deuce?!

Think I'll stick with the PowerMat. Oh, and her. That's all I need, a PowerMat and two of her.

Thanks!

If I should say something, then nothing will stop the chatter within

Dr G is fuckhead, he wants civility while calling people dickheads. Are you the same douche who drives his oversized pickup like everyone else is in your way. Make a post about the subject for once. For X-mas I would like to not hear about Obama in whitts end for 1 month.
Dearest Tongue Pushups, Choose your response: A.) Please describe in more lengthy detail. B.) "Vag Whisperer" is already reserved for Tiger Woods. C.) I want you to plow into my cardboard box. Love, Sybil
Your a genius Name..on both accounts
Oh this is a great Christmas present! Tom Hicks sold it to Greenberg and Ryan. http://www.star-telegram.com/804/story/1833566.html
RW there are two things I want for Christmas. 1. I would like Santa to plow into scott's cardboard box that he lives in crashing it down, somehow hook a beltloop and take his dumbass back to the north pole where they don't have an internet connection so he can't come on here and waste the fellow readers time with his dumbass rants. 2. I would like Sybil to look my in the eyes and say, Name, you ARE the Vagina Whisperer. Sincerely, Tongue Pushups
technology, technology that Greggo won't embrace. I'd like a tenth of the Christmas bonuses of the TARP CEOs.
I got a wish for you Dr.g, quit trying to win the Douche Heisman..Let your stats speak for you, and I second Lowlandgorilla
Thong and cheese wins my vote for commented of the year..I woke up children laughing so hard..oh yeah, dr.g is a douche and Scott has never been right about anything..POW
I guess my wish won't be granted. Asking people to behave and act civil is too much to hope for.
Power mat sucks. I checked into them when they first came out. I was excited, I have an Iphone, Ipod, my kids have Ninendo DS's and my wife has a plethora of comm devices. ( I said Comm. Devices!) Thought it would be so cool to be able to just lay the stuff on the mat to charge them all. $100.00 for the "Mat" approx $50.00+ /device to buy the clip on charging gizmo to charge each device!! Waste of time and $$$'s!! By the time it was over, I was looking at approx. $600.00 in hardware to charge this stuff.
I'll take a 1987 Honda Civic (Silver)..filled with whores.
Or I'll take a suite at Cowboys Stadium. Filled with whores.
I'd like to have one of the houses in Kessler Woods. Filled with whores.
dr.g and Bradford need to hurry up and fuck each other. This sexual tension is killin' us!
Why doesn't the good ol doc bring something to the table..other that his comments about me? Get a life, douche..that's the non de plume for you Dr.g...Scott is atleast passionate for the Cowgirls (wrong as he always is), your just whine to whine...oooh the water is to wet, the frogs got screwed, Bardford is a jerk..and he makes fun of me...waaaa
What's up Doc? Not sure that Dickhead should've been capitalized .. I'm sure while your trolling the junior high lunch shedules for the week, you may be able to figure it out. Was pseudonym too low brow for you, or were you just showing off your French prowess with "nom de plume"...Oooh listen to me, I'm Dr.g ..drive an 5yo BMW and love the Frogs, because it's fashionable er go Le'fashionable..waaaa cry me a river Drjerkoff
Hoping that Bradford's broken Shoulder (and all his other nom de plumes) begin to act his age instead of his shoe size. Childish Dickheads like him make these blogs (specifically the comments sections) so much less than they could be.
Surge Hybrid Solar Charger for iPhone 3G. Full stream. One more year of staving off 400 lbs. A Cowboys coaching staff with fully intact and functioning testicles. To look out on my driveway Christmas morning and see a giant red bow placed on the rusted-out roof of my 1996 Nissan Quest (theater of the mind, you know). The long overdue film adaptation of "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret."
Sorry to hear that PP, that's a tough one pal
I want a job. I haven't worked for 2 months and selling photos of Spider-Man to the Daily Bugle isn't cutting it. Seriously, I'd take a part time job at Best Buy right now. Other than that, an operating system that will load updates and upgrades without having to restart the computer and no, I'm not going to buy a Mac.
