my girlfriend kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas and I kept telling her upper/lower control arms. Imagine my dissapointment when I look under the tree and see this! Unless these are the control arms that expand 5 times their size when put in water, I'm out of luck!

buy it myself? are you kidding? those things are expensive! As many times as I let her ride in my '69, she should show me more appreciation!

Mark with your attitude you will be lucky to get the lump of coal you deserve! ;) :D

Didn't you quit picking packages when you were 10 years old?:noway:

By the way, what did you get her?

I've promised to put air in my '69. that's what I got her! that's more than she deserves apparently!

You're not the only one, Buddy!

Mark with your attitude you will be lucky to get the lump of coal you deserve! ;) :D

Coal would be fine for me, I'll take about four tons thank you.

... I'm just saying I deserve better. I even let her drive my '69 once. Even if it was only down to Poppeyes to get me some southern fried chicken.

So, uh what did you get her?

I said earlier, I've promised to put air in my '69. Best gift I ever got her.

what do you mean "easy"? I let her drive my '69 and this is the thanks I get??

:secret: ... :boring: :clonk:

Right up there with buying her a new vacuum cleaner to vacuum your place with. What are visiting hours in the hospital you will end up in when she cracks you over the head with the lump of coal Dennis mentioned?

Do we intervene and save this guy or leave him to suffer his own consequences?

:)

expect nothing and never be disapointed my freind

... Even if it was only down to Poppeyes to get me some southern fried chicken.

I wonder who paid for the chicken....

I wonder who paid for the chicken....

or for the gas to go pick it up.........:stirpot:

Here are some other happy gift stories You may constder yourself lucky after you open that gift:yes:




-Michelle

"My ex-boyfriends mother gave me a pound of ground beef right from her freezer. She stuck a big red bow on it and made such a big deal over it. I don't think she liked me very much!!"

-Jennie

"I remember I got a package of the same underwear my sister got. It was pretty disappointing. That was probably the worst Christmas present I've ever gotten."

-Katie

"The worst Christmas present I had ever got was this ATV remote control car when I was little and as I started putting it together it wouldn't go really fast and wouldn't do any of the tricks. We couldn't take it back because the box was all torn up and the toy had been used. I really wanted it when and when I got it it just blows up in my face practically. That is my worst Christmas present I had gotten."

-Josh

"About six years ago an old friend of mind gave me a small, light, wrapped cube. When I opened it I found about four Ramen noodle packages. I laughed so hard because I thought it was a gag gift but when I looked at her, she shrugged her shoulders with a sincere look on her face and said "it's the thought that counts". True story."

-Jesus

"My worst Christmas present ever was a huge cast iron kettle that you hang over a camp fire. Most people use it to cook for hunting camps. I received this amazing gift from my father-in-law and my brother-in-law. This was not a joke and the weirdest thing is that we don't hunt. Maybe they were hoping I'd offer to do the cooking for them!"

-Janet

"I got my brother a t-shirt that said right on it: 'Worse Present Ever'"

-Beverly

"I was given a portable radio that was broken and won't work. When I tried to exchange it, the store that it was purchased from went out of business, so it was nothing more than junk."

-Carl

"My worst Christmas was when I was at my grandparents` house, and ALL of the family was there and my aunt gave me coal in front of EVERYONE. It was so embarrassing... I will get her back this year."

-Jocelyn

"I received a box of chocolates that when I opened the box, most of them were bitten into them."

-Carl

"Well the worst Christmas present that i have ever received was last Christmas. I was out of town on training for my new job for 2 months in Cleveland and i found out that my Wife at the time and ex now wanted a divorce so that she could be with another man. Yeah i know pretty depressing but it was a year ago. Its all good now. Thanks for the contest and Merry Christmas!"

-Chris

"Has to be Amway deoderant. My uncle sold Amway and everyone got his left-over stuff that no one wanted to buy. Kinda bad gift for a 10 year old. I think my sister got body powder in a can. Oh yea, she was 7. I think the parents of all us kids were set in the personal hygene arena for a few years. "

Kev

So YOUR gift to HER is to put AC in YOUR CAR ?

Then you're so proud that YOU let HER drive YOUR CAR to get YOU chicken ?

Be glad she gets/gives you anything. I would get you a hemorrhoid exam with the Doctor with the biggest fingers I could find and while he's in there look for your head :clonk:

Good luck there buddy :noway:

ok. I can't take the abuse any more. I can't believe you guys thought I was serious. Especially you guys that know me! man, I can't wait for April Fools day...

Mark it's the internet and unless people have met you in person they really don't know you... That said I figured you were just bored and feeding the animals for personal entertainment. I played along with the coal post and rolled my eyes when I thought you took the joke too far...

I think the folks here take what people say seriously out of respect for each other. It's the nature of a site that shares information like we do here. It falls back on nobody really knows who the other guy is but people are trusting that when they come here people are being straight with them. It's just the technical nature of this place.

I do see a trend though where a lot of guys are just here to hang out and the information available is secondary. I'm not judging you by what you post but often I wonder if you are on a long bus ride bored to death and typing every thought you have to pass the time! I personally don't have a problem with harmless banter and I'm not saying any of this as a moderator so this is just another opinion and not intended as an insult... Just food for thought!

I am glad I did't pipe off with what I thought, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Dennis, I guess this means we won't be taking long moon-lit walks on the beach together. Aside from that, next time you want to insult me feel free to send a p.m.

Mark, just fooling with you. You know you have made it on TC when you get that type of ribbing.:beers:

Use the smilies. That is what they are for.:thumbsup:

I'm sorry if what I wrote hurt your feelings Mark but it wasn't intended to insult you...

My PM box is constantly full because I spend a good amount of my time I could be enjoying this site defending posts like this that don't add content to the site. Ya, a lot of folks feel there is a lot of waste of bandwidth and it is starting to over shadow what this place is all about and I hear about it a lot... I also find PM's from me are 95% of the time are taken as from "The Administrator" and not taken well. Did you notice I made sure to include I was not acting as a moderator in my post?

Anyway I had a point to make but was not trying to insult you, sorry you took the message wrong!

Dude get her something she can ALWAYS use!

Mark, do what I am doing. I asked my wife for a new set of wheels (Rushforth's). She said no, that I already had a set that hadn't even been used yet (17" Billets and the car is still in the build I just changed my mind on the wheels).

I went out and bought the new wheels myself anyway.

As a result my wife is getting this for Xmas.

I sincerely hope she reads it before 1st jan so we can start 2010 on a better note....

LOL :D

That will go down like the Titanic and/or Hindenburg :yes:

Actually, I surprised her on Dec. 1st by paying her December mortgage; therefore allowing her to spend more on her family. however, last night she found out her nephew (age 21) passed out from drinking and suffocated to death. So, Christmas for the most part has been put on the back burner to say the least. she's going to S.F. Bay area tomorrow morning. guys, hug your kids. If they live away, make an extra phone call just to say Hi. That boy's poor parents got the call we all dread.

Oh my.....that is so very sad to hear..there cant be anything worse in life than to get that kind of phone call...thinking about that as i sit and watch my 7 year old girl make homemade christmas cards...wow...so sad. prayers sent, and daughter hugged.

Kelly

Sorry to hear the terrible news Mark.

I was going to try and post something witty and maybe try and stir the pot but I don't think I can at this point. :noway:

Life is short guys, the older you get the more you get it.

Dennis, thanks for keeping threads like this open. It may take up bandwidth but it is nice to take a break, just cuz it is a Camaro site doesn't mean that is had to be All Camaro 100% of the time. right?:beers:
