Holidays Wishlist

What about an educated engineer working in Norway?

Instant billionaire.

Seriously though, I have a relative in Norway, and she says most people there don't bother with high education. The place is also not running efficiently, because their system has been working with "money is no issue" principles for too long. As long as you can prove your skills, you're gold.

Well, it can't be all that bad, since, you know, it's the best country in the world. :norway:

Hmm, let me try that out :Greece:

Edit: FUCK!

:highfive: For not drowning in our debt! (No offense desired )

This thread's getting a bit off topic (pun intended). Someone else want to post their wishlist (I already put mine)?

[Jay?]

What's the main difference between the 1967 and the 1968 except price tag?

Also, this is what I want

Status, mostly. Also, i believe the '67 had a slightly smaller pickgaurd than the later models. Still bigger than the original model, but they Gibson kept expanding and further-stylizing the Vs pickgaurd as time went on, but i prefer a smaller, more plain pickgaurd.

If you're not picky, a reissue of the thing seems to be around 850$.

Somewhat related, isn't this a suspiciously good price for a flying V, in general?

Nope, don't want a reissue. The reissues use lower quality humbuckers, and have a lower action to accommodate modern metalheads. Also, as i said earlier, part of the draw is the sheer classiness of having a '67. Ideally, i'd like to have a '67 in a glass case, and an early 90's out and about for playing with.

That is sketchy as fuck. 185 is what i'd expect to pay for a beginner-style SG knockoff.

[okamikk]

it's kinda suprising 16 people got suckered into it (do not take offense if you were one of the people that bid)

[M-C]

I just want a Wii U. (M-C is not responsible for any console wars/hating/flaming/trolling etc.)

[poryy]

I want...

A real life black hole gun

Arseloads of Warhammer 40k tanks

...that's about it...

[Cheap Shot]

• A dishwasher
  
• A roof to stay over my head
  
• Google Fiber in Canada
  
• Space colonization and robot bodies for living forever in my lifetime
  
• Many more Christmases with all of my family being well and happy

I vote for number 2,3,4 and 5 as well.

[andrewdonshik]

- My parents to start letting me play TF2 again.

Couldn't give a crap about anything else.

[theprolo]

They don't let you play TF2? Why? It's not as if its particularly violent etc..

[andrewdonshik]

Apparently, because of the shooting, they are now sensitive to guns. A day before, they didn't give a flying crap. Also, they think its making me aggressive.. It does the opposite. It releases aggression.

[MrFly]

Smh. I want a numark mixtrack pro and new mouse (as in computer). I am becoming more and more boring with my gifts every year.

Direct them to one of TB anti-anti-game videos. Maybe it will help.

What is TB?

[Valkon]

Probably TotalBiscuit.

[theprolo]

What is TB?

I think it's a disease Badgers get, and spread to cows or something.

I have a feeling it has more than just that meaning though...

[Kocken926]

What is TB?

Totalbiscuit, one of the best game reviewers out there.

This is the video I referred to.

OR you could link them to an actually reputable study. Or if they're easily led, "Penn & Tellers Bullshit" has a pretty good episode on the subject. If you can put up with penn gillettes stupid face being open. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaF9nbLo8as

TBs video is a bit more compact, and contains source links.

I like how Penn and Teller use the "cut away from the good stuff" technique, while commenting how lame it is of them to do it, though.
