Cool Christmas presents to ask for?

[1C5]

Have some relatives asking me what I want for Christmas, any ideas of cool things? Games, books, clothes, anything you can think of and also the price of it?

What is on your list?

Operation. It is probably like $25 plus the battery. If you get it, can you send me the actual rules. I have no idea when you are suppossed to take a "doctor" card or a "specialist" card.

As far as clothes, maybe a nice turtle neck. I think it would look good on you. I would definitely go for a fall color to blend in with your skin. But, not dark brown.

I can't really recommend any books for you, but I am sure you will get gifts even stupider than the ones I mentioned above (but i do want to know the rules for Operation).

1C5,

You could probably get hundreds of watch recommendations ranging from $30 to $10,000 by doing some searches.

craig,

Operation actually has rules? Rules beyond "Pull the plastic pieces out without making it buzz"?

Craig,

Its been a long time since I played Operation, but what are these cards that you speak of? And do you mean to tell me the rules aren't online anywhere?

well there was play money. and if you chose a specialist card they would pay more than the dr. card would. but, each card had the same type of surgery. So, there must be a time you are suppossed to take a dr. card and a time you should take a specialist card. Or you would be silly not to take the specialist card.

I am sure they are online somewhere, but my post wouldn't have been as funny (to me) if I didn't add in that I wanted the rules.

A pair of Swedish supermodels (female). I put it on my list every year but my wife is yet to come through with the goods.

I'm reading Doris Kearns Goodwin's book on Lincoln. Got it as a birthday gift. It's interesting, if that sort of thing interests you.

edit: This guy (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=0&Number=4074494&page=0&vc=1) can hook you up with a very special gift.

I forgot to mention, maybe somebody that comes over to your familie's house for Christmas but doesn't know you that well will bring you a shirt with a state name on it. Those are always great. What were these people thinking, "WEll, I don't know Craig real well, so I will get him a shirt that has the name of the state I live in on it." Like, I know it is the thought that counts, but, do retarded thoughts count?

At the start of the you deal out the doctor and specialist cards so everyone gets the same amount (keep them seperate) discard the odd cards.

When it's your turn you take the doctor card off the top of your pile. Do the operation it says. If you do it you get the money.

If you screw up everyone looks at their specialist cards and the person with the card that matches the botched operation gets to try it for the specialist fee.

A rule most people don't know is the leg one with the elastic. You don't hook it on the posts at the start and try to remove it. You put it in the hole and the operation is to put it on the posts.

Ahh...the joys of parenthood.

A Jenna Pussie Pop would be a great present.
