Xmas part 1

I received a massive 39" x 26" canvas to adorn my bedroom wall. The scene is a wintery one from Central Park, New York. I think that it takes away from the green somewhat.

Xmas part 2

Now this is the rest of the Xmas gear - aside from the money, which I list in no particular order:

Discworld Board Game
Pants on Fire bluffing game
Chocolate Orange
iTunes voucher (£25)
Roll the Bones (Rush)
Garage Inc (Metallica)
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Anger Management (Jack Nicholson's guide to modding General :P)
FC:UK deodorant and after shave (1972)
Whistling key fob

Now to have a look online and see if there's anything I want for the prices that I can pay.

But Christmas Day is the right day to open the presents.

Says who?

The rest of the world.

I really don't think so. Unless people who don't celebrate Christmas don't belong to "the rest of the world". And Spain neither (they open their presents on January 6th). :P

It's just a tradition in Germany that on Christmas Eve all presents are put under the Christmas Tree and opened on the same day. Maybe it's just because we are a very impatient nation?

Yeah, you guys must he impatient. :P

Or maybe we are just more efficient. Delivering presents and opening them on the same day. :P

Fucking nice! 10 years of being awesome.

Not quite. I started being awesome when I discovered the Wi/Ht forum, that was around 2006/2007.

You admit to sucking ass, lol.

I think there's more than just "being awesome" or just "sucking ass". I think there are some states in between. :P

That's simply not true. 24th isn't a holiday here (but most workers will get half of the day free), while 25th and 26th are full holidays. Plus, christmas time is always very stressful. On 24th I'm either at my father's or my in-laws, 25th is my mom's birthday and on 26th I'm at either my father's or my in-laws, depending on who I visited on 24th. So, it's three days fully packed with family business.

The way to look at it is that it's something to fill your time and you'll look better if you head into an interview having done voluntary, while searching for work.

To be honest, I've done enough voluntary work in the past. Had it not been for my temporary work, I'd have a stronger hatred towards everyone. The job centre, the government and all those employer cunts.

I can't say I really know much about their music though. I think I might've overheard a conversation about them by you and Coop or Haggard. Otherwise perhaps some of my friends talked about them once.

Ah well, I'm sure they acted silly as well at that age.

They may have done so but they like to forget about it and think they're all perfect.

Oh well, what can you do?

Lol. Well there will always be noobs. And by the way, can't you upgrade to a Prenium account by buying something from the store? I heard the cheapest thing was like $0.40 or so, so I'm sure plenty of people will upgrade anyway if Prenium accounts get any good benefits.

Yeah, you could do that. Even if that's the case, it still weeds out many players.

That's true, but I have to say that I can hardly tell anymore who's F2P and who isn't (just judging from their playing styles). Maybe you should give the game another try someday.

Exactly. I think he paniced there for a bit, that's why he kicked the guy lying on the floor and that's why he was about to punch the guard that came onto the pitch.

Indeed. But still, he does seem like the kind of guy that gets easily worked up. A lot of football players are like that.

Ha! Funny that the refs didn't always speak the language of the players. That must've lead to more problems than this case.

"Wembley Goal" comes to my mind there... even though it was the linesman and the referee that didn't share a language, lol.

I just watched it. Lol!

But was it really the case that they didn't understand each other? Seemed more like the linesman thought it was in, while the ref thought it wasn't at first.

Perhaps Platini appreciated it that he kicked a Spaniard in the neck?

Platini is one of the biggest assholes in football. >:(

He is! Plus he's way too conservative if you ask me. How many game-determining wrong decisions by refs does he need before he finally agrees to put a guy behind a TV screen for a second opinion? This would spare everyone so much hassle and would make the game much more fair (gives referees less room to be one-sided for instance).

All playing in Germany I guess?

Yes. Kroos playing at Bayern, Reus at Mönchengladbach and Götze at Dortmund.

Ah I see. I believe most German players prefer to stay in Germany anyway, don't they? I don't know that many good German footballers playing outside of their country.

Yeah, well if you just look at the past winners of the CL and UC it is pretty easy to see that the Bundesliga must be the better league.

But still not as good as the Premier League or the Primera División.

Or the Serie A for that matter. Well... the Serie A has its ups and downs.

"The England players celebrated a goal, but the referee Gottfried Dienst was uncertain if it had been a goal. He consulted his linesman, Tofik Bakhramov from the Soviet Union, after non-verbal communication, as they had no common language, the Swiss referee awarded the goal to the home team."

Well, we can't have decisions based on video footage for everything, but just a simple goal camera would help a lot already. I mean, we have so many referees already: The main ref, two linsemen, in international matches the ref behind the goal and the one near the benches. One more guy watching a TV screen and deciding if a goal should be awarded wouldn't hurt.

Yes, it's quite surprising. Some years ago, in the 90's, many players of the national team played in Italy. Nowadays almost all players are playing in Germany (except for Özil and Khedira, who play at Real Madrid).

Well, I can't really argue about that. I wouldn't say they are as big as CC or MA, but on the other hand, Nile have been around since 1993, so they must have had at least SOME influence on today's Death Metal.

But bands/people like Ozzy, Maiden or AC/DC are so well known that even people who don't listen to metal or hard rock know who they are. Can't say that for bands like Nile. ;)

Yeah, but the origins of Christmas can't compete against tradition, man.
Also, I found out that in Poland and in some scandinavian countries the kids open their presents on 24th as well. So the "rest of the world" argument is rendered invalid. :P
BUT: I found an article which stated "the kids just couldn't wait until next day", so there comes the "impatient" argument into play again. XD

Also I find it funny that back in the old days it would have been the same thing with the difference being that level 10 was what seperated the dedicated from the posers.

I can't say I really know much about their music though. I think I might've overheard a conversation about them by you and Coop or Haggard. Otherwise perhaps some of my friends talked about them once.

This is a question we should ask Coop and Haggard. What do THEY think of Mastodon?

They're not bad - I don't own any of their stuff, but they're better than some of the stuff that I've got on my iPod :P

I really should update my Christmas news post. I'll get some Steam winter achievements out of the way.

Listening to:

Cruachan - Blood on the Black Robe

Nothing. I don't listen to them. But not because I don't like them, it's just that I never started listening to them. ^^

Got any plans to listen to them in the new year?

I'm glad you have more encouragement now. And no, there is no round 2 for MMT.

That's too bad. But I'm sure you will come up with something else instead. ;)

Well, I'm only doing stuff on my site now.

Neither am I but their name sounds almost as big as Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel.

Well, I can't really argue about that. I wouldn't say they are as big as CC or MA, but on the other hand, Nile have been around since 1993, so they must have had at least SOME influence on today's Death Metal.

I'm sure they have and I'm sure they are just below CC and MA. One thing for sure, nothing can beat Death.

To be fair, I have had a few big songs on my posts so I am guilty there.

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.

Maybe we can mix our posts together for better results?

BUT: I found an article which stated "the kids just couldn't wait until next day", so there comes the "impatient" argument into play again. XD

Such kids you are.

I opened a present yesterday.

You should've waited until January 6th, as a tribute to the spanish kids.

Now that would have been funny.

And Mastodon are indeed worth a shot. I should probably provide some examples.
