I didn't. I didn't ask for any this year. I did get some cool dvds - Forbidden Planet and Life of Brian top that list - and GURPS Magic (a roleplaying game book). Probably the best things I gave were the movie Serenity and the soundtrack to the tv show Firefly. Gave those to my wife. She really enjoyed them.

I got an iPod, an FM transmitter for it and a Darth Vader head toilet brush thing that I don't quite know what to do with. (My sister made it using a cookie jar.)

DVD: "Captain Blood" starring Errol Flynn (watched it this morning before anyone else woke up. What an EXCELLENT movie! Now if I can somehow convince my kids into watching a 70-year-old film...)
Pirate rapier (Thanks Dad!)
The very piratey "Puffy Shirt" (from Seinfeld... see separate topic thread) -- I don't have it yet, as International Male is out of stock... I got a home-made printed coupon from my son, and am awaiting delivery.
Also got a digital camera and photo printer and 7 Marx Brothers movies on DVD and a Warhammer 40K starter set and some more DVDs and books... but none of that is pyratical, so I won't bore you.

Okay, now that I've stopped laughing...
To be fair, my husband got me a pretty huge combination birthday and Christmas gift - a new computer.
Oh yeah, and my mother, who doesn't care much for my appearance, especially my hair, got me a book on beauty and a bunch of hairbands.
So the only thing I actually got to unwrap for Christmas was basically a snide gag gift.

Sorry no medical instruments, I try to stay away from those!
It was all I could do to stop myself from buying the book in the airport on the way to PIP. Glad I waited...
Not really pirate... but I can pirate music for it!

Also some Avon bubble bath.
From family: Bath and Body Winter candy apple hand soap, cookies, a Celtic Cross with a book about it, and a gift card to Home Goods. BTW- If you've never been in a Home Goods store, they are fantastic! The prices are so low and it's all affordable.

Well.... Th' only thing close t' piratey that I got was a crystal Polish decanter from my neice (cheap little thing but nice). Otherwise what I got was a stlyish cheap pen set, a RotF Megatron (the pre-school level - no comment- from a secret santa on another forum), a $25 gift card to Wal-Mart and the promise of a perm at any in-town stylist. I guess it's OK... but not really what I was hoping for. Oh, well.

There have not been elk in our neck of the woods for over 20 years, so that is VERY kewl. They were even in our front yard! Dang, and we missed it! Hope they come back!
and buccaneers and buried gold...

But I really learned a lot about cultured foods. Buy Discount Seromycin Now I can hardly go a couple of days without my cultured vegetables. Purchase Seromycin Without Script Next Day Delivery Of course they're raw and they have so much more of a combination and variety of probiotics bacteria; whereas, if you take the pills you're only getting certain strains. Seromycin For Sale Online In cultured vegetables when you've got a combination of maybe sea vegetables and cabbage and carrots and whatever else you want to put in.. Get A Seromycin Without Prescription
But what is most meaningful to me was a book I laid hands on a couple days after Xmas. As mentioned above, I was at Disney World last week, including, of course, Pirates of the Caribbean. For those that don't know, there's a "pirate market" (as I like to call it) next to the ride. Usual stuff...t-shirts (I got a couple new ones), tricorns (cheap types...the straw hat I wore is much better), action figures, shot glasses, etc...and books. I thought their selection of books was sharply reduced this year, but looking over the selection, what did I find but..."General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates", Lyons Press 2002, intro by David Cordingly. Not what I expected to find...they didn't have it last year...
And personally, I think Capn Charles Johnson was not Desperate Dan Defoe at all, but none other than Henry Avery. Thats what *I* think, and ye may lay to that!

First, a Captain Skully glass (for fruity, potent rum drinks, such as you'd have in a tiki bar):

And Jack found me a reproduction of a Nelson-era ship's lantern (I've SO wanted one of these ever since I saw Master and Commander - the first time):

I did get something piratey... a pair of skull n xbones fleece pants for sleepin' in. Oh! And a really, really nice skull n xbones mug that was made in Germany. It is really light, feels like fine china as opposed to some of the more clunky coffee mugs I have.
The coolest thing I gave? Either the $100 worth of fancy tea from Harney & Sons or the blu-ray copy of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but of which were presents to the missus.
