daanWhat kind of hockey games do you go to?
Ones where male lesbians your height and build all wear green stocking that come up to halfway between their knees and thighs, black leather vests and red Superman underwear?

JordanMerry Christmas, everyone!I got to open one of my presents early, and it was a new Nextel i860 Camera Phone. FINALLY! I get to enjoy a camera phone without switching from Nextel!!!
Jeez..I am so jealous. I got a NEXTEL i710. The i730 was like 200 bucks so yeah...but I still wish I had a camera.
EDIT: 10 hours and 15 minutes until xmas. Also... I got Lightning 03 blades by Rollerblade, Adio shoes(AND THEY'RE PINK!), Socks, Shimano LX Disc Wheelset, and the NEXTEL i710 phone with 800 anytime minutes... unlimited direct connect and night and weekends. I can't wait till my b-day. Disc brakes anyone?

Still have about 10 hours. This'll be the first year my family goes to midnight mass, which kinda sucks because I know I'll fall alseep. As for presents, my friend Kalie made me a blanket and I got the 34th and 8th O.A.R. CD/DVD set from my friend Stu.
Merry Christmas to you all.
Merry Christmas to you all.

Congrats on your new Nextel! You'll get addicted to Direct Connect if you aren't already - that's pretty much the only way I use my phone, as do all my friends.standard235
It's so cozy in here...nothing like a holiday at GTPlanet! Enjoy this time with your family, everyone, and be thankful for all that you have!

Don't worry dude...it's like 57 degrees in our house.

Oh yeah... Direct Connect is the best. I'm so glad I got NEXTEL. I get perfect reception ALMOST always when outside. Even with no antenna. I have used like 1hour 45 minutes of DC and like 150 minutes my first month
Time to start using my 800 per month eh!. My dad makes me only DC and not call. None of my friends have NEXTELs.

Merry Christmas everyone... 
. Here's Christmas Physics, ripped off god-knows-where.
1. No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.
2. There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to the Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there exists at least one good child in each.
3. Santa has 31 of hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky
27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.
4. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each good child gets nothing more than a medium-sized Lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariable described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.
5. 353,00 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecrafts re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously,
exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.
In conclusion -
If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.

Merry Christmast. Feliz Navidad!
Only a few minutes for me. Its right now 11:26 pm (PST, well Seattle-Time so you can understand me)
I know that in Mexico they usually open gifts, and party on the 24th. So I got: (Nothing what I was Expecting, I was expecting CD's or DVD Concerts)
1. $50 bucks, now I can go to the store and buy my own cd's
2. A bag of Pistachios
3. Playstation 2 Video game: Red Faction (The game is alright, so far what I played. Only 30 min. It's going to be hard to get used to the buttons in the begining. Still for me, the best ps2 game is GTA San Andreas)
Well Feliz Navidad, y un Prospero año nuevo!! BTW Rock on dudes!
