Just curious, who is it by? It sounds like a worthy addition to my collection.

OT: PPC gifts? by

Did anyone receive a Christmas/Chanukah gift that instantly made them think "PPC!"?
I got a t-shirt that says "We're all quite mad here. You'll fit right in!", which, for obvious reasons, just screams PPC.
And I also ended up with a stuffed loon. I get the feeling someone's giving me a not-so-subtle hint...XD -

I got a machete, although it didn't scream PPC to me as I only found the PPC yesterday.

I did get a one-a-day calender of The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said, though. And lots of shiny chocolate. And a laptop, so I can write in places other than my bedroom and still be able to read it later! (I love my parents.)

My youngest sister and I got a t-shirt that says "Your Intelligence is Stupid". It is quite common to think that of the Sues you meet.

75% of the clothes I got were black.
Also a bed warmer. Which immediately made me think 'Great, now the Narrative Laws of Comedy are going to have even more reason to drag me out of bed.'
I like the loon thing. Very nice. -

I got lots of socks, though; nice socks. And I got a lovely copy of Beowulf.
And chocolate...that's sort of PPC, right? -

As I've stated in a previous thread, I got Apple and Kiwi's Little Red's Fairy Tales SE from my parents for Chanukah. I guess that's PPCish.

An excellent book of weapons and armour by

From my sister, who read the PPC ages ago and knows how much I love it. It's GREAT. A big, fat book with pictures on every page - claymores, sword-breakers, Indian punching knives... my parents were a little surprised that I was practically drooling over it. :p
That said, if anyone wants help clarifying a weapons or armour-based charge, let me know! -

I think it's connected to the royal armouries museum, too. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll find its ISBN number and such.

A few things... by

I got an entire book about the history of the English language, which made me think of DTE.
Other things make me think of the PPC for rather obscure reasons: A Voltaire CD, because Lycaenion is the one who introduced him to me; A recording of Once More, With Feeling, because I'm currently working on a musical mission; and the Dr. Horrible DVD, because I first learned about it on the Board.
And a really pretty medieval-ish dress that makes me feel like I'm in LOTR...which doesn't have much to do with the PPC but I need to squee about it anyway because it's so COOL!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Yule, Happy Kwanzaa, et cetera! Glod bless us every one! -

Wonderful, another Voltaire convert.
What CD did you get?
And medieval-ish dresses are awesome. Mum made me one, but I have no place to wear it and that bothers me.
Happy holidays to you. =) -

I felt as though I'd fallen into a Sue's Christmas when I saw my sister's collection. If there was a single thing in it that wasn't pink and/or sparkly, I'm a Flower. I felt like scrambling for the nearest sharp pointy, but that was a nail file, so it wouldn't have done much damage anyway.
