Christmas Stories

My story is no where near as bad as rmuser’s, but I thought I’d share it anyway.

On Christmas Eve, my parents got me up at 6(I’d went to bed at 3)to do Christmas early since my mom had gotten the day off and might have had to work Christmas. I go my biggest gift, a 22 inch monitor a week early after my old one basically died so I only had the few small gifts(an awesome John Lennon biography, a tiki fountain thing, and a shitload of candy).That night my family went over to my grandmothers, where her fixed male Boston terrier kept attempting to hump my uncles huge(think the size of a miniature horse, only bigger)Labrador who is also male. Then on Christmas I slept till 3 pm and woke up to go over there again.

My Cousins, my aunt and uncle, etc were all there. My 4 year old second cousin had been in the hospital recently for some weird thing and was doped up on all sorts of stuff. I tried to talk to him a couple of times, and he kept going on about wookies and Darth Vader. My uncle’s girlfriend’s son who is 8 was basically jumping off the walls as well. The Boston terrier again tried to fornicate with my uncle’s dog, who kept walking off which resulted in the Boston terrier basically running and humping. My grandma screamed at him to “Be Nice!” which slowed the humping down, but did not stop it altogether.

The best part was when my uncle gave me a 20 for Christmas and said it was because he couldn’t give me whiskey like he does his friends.

A legged Shark

A shark with feet

A shark with feet

In Malaysia a fisherman caught a shark and gave it to someone else to eat. As she was starting to prepare it, she found that it had webbed feet. She consulted her husband, because according to their tradition’s its bad luck to eat fish with unusual features, and they decided to give it back to the fisherman who then threw it into the sea. Thanks to Neatorama for the info.

UPS sucks

Bundle of Newspaper

Bundle of Newspaper

Tonight I will be driving an hour and a half to pick up all the newspapers for my school’s newspaper. This is because I am the press manager and after speaking with the advisor we decided not to pay $200 to have ups(who is actually the cheapest) ship them to us. That’s insane, all the money we’ve made by selling ads is $600 and we already used $300 of that to print. UPS charged about $75 more because we’re a school, so I figured I spend the $50 in gas and get them myself.

And we’re back

My old host basically died, but now we’re back. I promise more fun filled updates soon.
