    Default Cool Birthday Presents

    My birthday isn't for another million years, but my parents are pretty awesome and have bought me two expensive ass presents this year. They got me The Legend of Drizzt board game earlier this year and my dad threw this knife at me two days ago

    It's pretty bitchin'. It has a safety on it so it doesn't close in a way or time when you'd want it to remain open. It's slightly longer than what is legal to carry in public here in my state (and probably the whole country), but whatevs cops be my bitches anyways.

    What are some cool presents that you've received for your birthday months in advance?

    I don't know about early, but I got a late one last year because a certain incredibly short friend of mine is incapable of doing anything on time:

    Was it late or was it months early?

    For the record, I am not that short friend. Raist is referring to Jojee.

    I have never received birthday presents in advance. In fact, they (in addition to the celebrations) are almost always, always, always late. This has turn my birthday really crappy the past few years. I guess my recent tattoo could be considered an early present to myself, though.

    I got a pie tin sized no bake cookie for my twentieth birthday, that was rad! Last year everyone at work was really nice to me and a friend of mine baked me a cake with delicious homemade frosting. Then I got kinda drunk at Primanti's.

    I like gestures more than actual gifts. Presents are nice, but memories never leave.

    I knew he meant Joy! When Raistlin says friends I picture a very short list, so when he said short friend I picked the shortest person on that list!

    How else am I supposed to grow up and be tough if I'm not constantly worrying for my well being?

    My dad gets me a pocket knife every year. It gets pretty old.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    This year I received a massive M&M cookie with two ounces worth of vaporized pot in it.

    My birthday is right next to Christmas so I get "combined" gifts.

    Actually the best gift I ever got was for my high school graduation. I got a computer.

    I can honestly say i prefer home/hand made gifts from people because I feel they have more meaning to them.
