I’m Dreaming of a Snowless Christmas
The Simpsons December 17th, 2007We’ve had 2 snowstorms just a few days apart, and I am SO sick of shoveling. I’m hoping we won’t get anymore snow at least until after Christmas. I guess that makes me a scrooge.
We were snowed in on Sunday, so we figured it would be a good time to decorate our tree. Here it is in all its crookedness:
Notice the strange gray creature lurking under the tree.
I think this tree is defective, and we may bring it back to the nursery after Christmas. This tree looked great when we picked it out, but we can’t get it straight no matter how hard we try. Now I know how Richard Simmons parents feel.
Here is a pic of me being stupid (all pics of me are like this):
I have pictures of my wife being stupid, but she won’t let me post them online.
We picked up a few new cool ornaments this year. Fred and Barney torsos:
Simpsons Pin Pals:
I feel compelled to include something arcade related here, so here is a video of our Tazmanian Devil pinball machine ornament:
And to finish this off, here is a picture of a boneless cat:

Did you get the Looney Tunes Pinball off of ebay as well? Man, how do you search for this stuff? Do you type in a new search on whatever comes to mind? Or do you have some sort of RSS feed setup on general arcade searches that you sort through?

Nope…that ornament we actually had for awhile. I think my wife got it at Hallmark. As for finding stuff, I guess I’m just lucky. I’m also a bit obsessed, so I’m searching on eBay all the time. I save searches for certain things I’m looking for and use their alert feature to email you when new things turn up. One thing I’ve been doing more of lately on eBay is searching with “-” options to remove crap that I’m not interested in.
