1. What's your name, and would it be found on Santa's "Naughty" or "Nice" list?
Jeff, and I belong on both lists. Who says I can't be a jerk some days and nice others? That's what I thought, jackass.

2. What's your favorite televised Christmas/holiday special?
The 24 hour marathon of A Christmas Story. Every hour counts.

3. Which is the better holiday, Festivus or Chrismukkah?
Festivus. Now be a man and fight your father!

4. What present do you most want this year?
A new starter for my car. Hitting the damn thing with a hammer is getting old.

5. What winter movie are you most looking forward to?
Blade: Trinity. I loved the first two, and who doesn't think of Vampires when they think of the Holidays?

1. Nirvana's new boxed set--yay or nay?
Yay. But any true fan will be dissapointed to find there is no Courtney Love dart board included with the set.

2. Which video game, San Andreas, Halo 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3?
San Halo Solid. C'mon, that's like telling your children which one you love more.

3. The new 60GB IPod Photo--greatest invention ever?
Better invention: The I-pod that costs less than $150.

4. What comic book would you buy for a new comic reader?
Probably a graphic novel or collection, so you can appreciate the overarching storylines. I hear the Batman collections are pretty nifty.

5. SPIDER-MAN 2 or THE RETURN OF THE KING on DVD, and why?

1. Are you part of a Secret Santa thing with friends or co-workers?
I've done this a few years with friends.

2. If "yes" to Question 1, what would make a good gender non-specific gift for same?

Movies, games, liquor, and lots of jokes about how Dick Clark is still alive.

4. New Years resolutions--yay or nay?
Never in my life. I've always known that you can't change yourself when purely motivated by a calandar.

5. If "yay," what is your resolution/s for 2005?
I'm just answering this so no one asks, "What happened to five?"

6. Most anticipated movie of 2005?
Please. We're internet addict geeks on a message board. That's like asking a guy in a full leather ensemble if he likes KISS.

1. What's your name, and would it be found on Santa's "Naughty" or "Nice" list? (bonus points if you explain why it'd be found on one or the other)

My friends call me T. Despite what one might think, going to the mall and giving santa a lap dance does NOT get one of the naughty list. In fact, one would lose all shopping priviledges at that mall for one year.

I watch all of them

4. What comic book would you buy for a new comic reader?

I'm still a new reader and taking suggests, so thanks for asking.

1. What's your name, and would it be found on Santa's "Naughty" or "Nice" list?

PRESENTS

1. Nirvana's new boxed set--yay or nay?

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Drew Thornton -- pretty sure I'd be on the Nice List; I think Santa gives me credit if I meant well.

2. Scrooged, but that's only because Bad Santa isn't televised.

3. Festivus.

4. World peas, some backpacking supplies, and select DVD's and I'm good.

5. Winter movie: Life Aquatic, hands down. I made the mistake of seeing Christmas With The Kranks, so I need a good brain-douching.

PRESENTS

1. Not sure if there's anything Nirvana that I don't already have. "Yay" in principle, "Nay" in probability.

2. I said San Andreas before I even saw the list. How is that even a question? If I have a working PS2 in time, the first thing I'm doing Christmas morning is flying from Las Venturas to Los Santos, sky-diving into gang territory, and beating down a Baller with a double-sided dildo.

3. IPod in general rocks the house. New perks are just frosting. Can I change my answer for #4 in the other section?

4. The comic I'd recommend depends on the person's age and gender. I'm not that ambitious.

5. ROTK boxed set; I already got Spidey 2 yesterday.

MORE GENERAL QUESTIONS

1. Am I part of a Secret Santa thing with friends or co-workers? No.[.........] Like, fuck no.

2. Coupons for a free back rub.

3. No New Years plans yet. I'll say the usual "Hot girls, good times, laughs, drunkenness, and nakedness," which will lead to the usual "Drew gets drunk and naked while hot girls have a good time laughing."

4. New Years resolutions: Yay.

5. Resolutions for 2005:
 Get Liz back
buy mum some flowers
sort life out 

6. Most anticipated movie of 2005? Revenge of the Sith for now. Depends on what happens with Transformers between now and then. And what about King Kong? /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

2. I was a big fan of the EEK THE CAT Christmas.

3. Festivus. Oh yeah. I have some grievances.

5. Oceans 12 or Life Aquatic. Plus the Incredibles a few more times.

PRESENTS

1. Yay when cash allows.

2. Tecmo Super Bowl
