    Default Something you wanted for Christmas as a kid but never got.

    I remember asking for a Light Bright every year for Christmas but i never got one. I finally gave up after about 6 years of asking for one.

    For years I wanted this figure, as it was the only one missing from my TaleSpin collection, but my mom could never find it. I finally bought it new on eBay last year, and it felt so satisfying after all of these years!

    A Beyblade but to be fair I never actually asked. I could get one myself and fulfill my childhood fantasy but now theyre not as horribly dangerous as they use to be.

    Aside from that I also wanted a hoverboard or a flying carpet.

    I wanted the Technodrome least of all, because it was too small. The turtles would break into the Technodrome, not crawl around it like King Kong. I still wanted it though.

    Christmas had always been the one time of year I believed I could finally get something I wanted. Poor old fogies always told me we had no money for that game or this toy. I only remember a single Christmas wherein I was disappointed (not because the other Christmas' gave me what I'd wanted, but because this particular, I got greedy and was rather one-track minded about it). My greed led to a huge list of legos models in a single ad. I wrote the numbers down (that's how you order them for delivery) and as a result of the collection being either too large and confusing or simply too expensive (I didn't actually want all of them, I simply had them all listed as optional, I wanted at least one and couldn't decide between them: a fact I wrote on the list to be clear), anyway, I received a bucket of MegaBlocks. Not a bucket of Legos. MegaBlocks, the beggar's choice when Legos are apparently too expensive. I was raised to make due and figured Santa thought I was too old to be so indecisive and this was his way of telling me to make a clearer call next time. Of course, I found the SANTA'S wrapping paper in the closet a few days later and realized "he" was my parents. Suddenly, it became very clear why I mostly never gotten what I'd actually wanted for Christmas. That day, Christmas pretty much lost it's luster. I still looked forward to gifts and food and family but I no longer got hung up on a gift I wanted or didn't get. I knew we didn't have money for stuff.
    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.

    A couple of video games I am sure I eventually bought myself years later. I wasn't really picky. Just happy to get what I got!
