The year of the dog

They're every fucking where!
First my sister in law gets a pug and then she gets a toy chihuaha. We get a pug for my daughter and then the same sister in law gets the two left from that same litter and gets rid of the toy chihuaha. Today, my sister just went and bought a peekaneese poodle mix. They stopped over with Bruno earlier today, they were here about 10 minutes and now my wife is sneezing away. Damn. Good thing she's not allergic to our pug.

Christmas was awesome, albeit over budget. Jewel and I don't exchange gifts, we just buy something we both want. This year it was a cruise and a 32" flat screen for the bedroom.
That being said, the bulk of my presents are scored from her side of the family as my side mostly does cheap thoughtful couples gifts. Normally, that doesn't bode well for your Good Ol' Uncle Buzz, until this year that is. I got a boss 24V Black and Decker drill, a high quality traveling pool cue and an industrial quality deep fryer. All in all, not bad year.
The cue will be used next time I play pool, if I weren't so lazy, I'd meander downstairs and play a game, but most likely won't. The drill is being charged awaiting the next project and the deep fryer was used for the first time last night.
I fried up some tortillas, sprinkled them with sugar and cinnamon and made some pretty damn tasty cinnamon crisps, just like the ones scored at Taco Bell, but better!
Tomorrow morning, I'll be making donuts for breakfast. I love this fryer, but it may just be the death of me.
Hope all of your Holidays were as ass-kicking as mine.
Feel free to post your "scores" here on the BUZZ.

I scored a sweet Pearl Jam poster, a slick soft-shell jacket and a new snowboarding jacket...

I was most pleased.

I'm shopping for a new 32" flat screen for the bedroom - which one did you get? I'm eyeing the Toshiba LCD with DVD Player attached. Any thoughts?

Toshiba is a great brand.
I think the one we got was an Insignia. We wouldn't have bought it, but it was only $400. I couldn't pass that deal up!

Isn't the Insignia the Home Depot brand? I know someone who paid the same price for an Insignia 22" LCD about a year ago. the fuckin prices have really gone down. You would think you would've picked one up for the guest room.....

$400 sounds like a great price. I'm thinking about stepping it up to a 37" since it looks like there's some good deals out there.

I would have picked one up for the guest room, but nobody uses it much these days!
