Dear Anarchists,
Outtie is taking the day off to celebrate Christmas with the family. I hope that Santa and Hanukkah Harry brought you everything you wanted this year, and that all of you Anarchists have a very happy holiday. Now put on your Christmas socks, and enjoy Merry Christmas Mr. Bean. Your regularly scheduled programming will return tomorrow.
XOXO,
Outtie
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays Everyone :)

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas. Happy Holidays. Here's to a cherished notion of peace on earth and goodwill to all. (Unless you're a self important celebrity - we'll totally make fun of self important celebrities.)

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas AGers. It's been such a great couple of months on this site. THANK YOU Outtie. Hugs to one and all (esp you W.G.o.F). Cheers, BW
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas everyone! I'm spending this year with my out-laws! Kat I might have a story for you later!
ReplyDelete(An extra special Christmas story for my friends and extended family here at Anarchy, also I also posted it on Cracked but I'm extending it for you guys with my favorite Christmas memory)
ReplyDeleteOur gifts have always been wrapped like Russian Nesting Dolls just so people couldn't peak. Take this year, I got my brother a Zartan Sideshow Collectible figure (the 12 inch ones that cost a s**t ton of cash). I put it into a bigger box, then found a bigger box put it in there, and so on. We also weight them down with books or catalogs. So his present, which comes in a box about 16X8 eventually was wrapped inside of a small refrigerator type box lol. he did the same to me though. He bought me Super Smash Bros for my Wii U and a Mario Amiibo, the Mario Amiibo (standard action figure size package) was put in a box about 2 ft. X 3 ft.
It all goes back to when I was 14 and he was 5 and I taught him how to use a razor blade to cut the tape on a gift, look at what it was and replace the tape without anyone knowing.
Plus as a special thing, each year I pick someone to give a gag gift. My niece wanted a guitar this year (Purple acoustic) so I went to a resell shop and found a tore up guitar and just spray painted it purple and wrapped it (total cost? $4) and made sure it looked like a guitar and left it in front so she'd see it every time she was here. Yesterday when they were here to open their gifts, she tore into that (Oh, BTW, she's 5) and was a bit disappointed but wanted to make me feel good and told me she loved it. When we were done, asked her and her sister if they got everything they wanted and her sister really loved her stuff and she was still disappointed about the s**t guitar. What she didn't know is that when I excused myself to get some coffee, I had set up her real guitar in their room here andhad her go get me something from there. All the way across the house you could hear her screaming in happiness. She runs in the front room and says "You got me this year. Last year was sister and this year it was me..." Her sister then admits that it was her idea. It's little things like that that can make Christmas memorable for them long after their gift is gone.
(Exclusive to AG): The same niece was the "victim" of a prank two years back. She wanted nothing more than the Batcave from the Fischer Price Super Hero line. She got down to a big box that looked like it would fit. She opens it and inside the box is another box...A box that I had hurriedly tried to make look like a badly designed Batcave. I had my friend from next door climb up on the roof and make sure they heard the footsteps. Then he rang the doorbell and ran. Sitting at the front door was the Batcave she wanted with a note from "Santa" apologizing for "accidentally taking it with him the night before" I told her I knew I had gotten her one but when it was gone, I had to try to make her one. But then she pulled something on me, she said "Even if Santa didn't bring my Batcave back it would've been OK because you love me enough you tried to make me one to make me happy." This was just over 2 weeks after my Mom had passed away and that one sentence from a 3 year old girl made my entire holiday better. But it won't stop me from getting more elaborate in my Christmas pranks. I only have 10 months to plan one now :) That is the most wonderful time of the year for me lol
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
@Rowdy - every kid should have an uncle like you. That was awesome, thanks for sharing!
Deletemerry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus everyone!! Whatever you celebrate, if anything, I hope it's wonderful for you and your loved ones.
White.God.of.Fuck - happy Thursday!!
@Rowdy- love this! It would have been a lot of fun having an uncle like you!
DeleteRowdy that is the most lovely, touching story ever. What makes it so wonderful is that a) that child wants to be a musician and b) that her parents have instilled in her the true meaning of giving; a gift more precious than gold. Thank you for sharing. That was awesome!
DeleteThanks guys :) Sherry, the youngest wanted a guitar and the oldest wanted a ukelele, they want them, Uncle Chris gets them. I know I tell a lot of stories and go on and on a bit, but usually I do it for a reason. I was lucky to have a stable family that was close knit, so I tell them in hopes of making someone who might be feeling down feel better.
DeletePlus, I love my nieces, so bragging on them is my joy in life. I sent their Mom a text message just about 10 minutes ago telling her that I need their help cleaning my room and dusting, she said they'd be over after the first of the year and this was before I told her I was going to give them $20 each for doing it. At 5 and 8, I figure they are old enough now to start earning the money and stuff I used to just give them when I got paid, that way they learn the value of work and a dollar.
Funny quick story, their parents are divorced (not the funny part) and my brother (their dad) was in the military when they were younger and in Iraq. They spent so much time with me and my Mom during the day, that even now they sometimes slip and call me "Daddy". They both did it last week when I took their half brothers gifts to their house. The oldest told her teacher she has 3 Daddy's. Her real Daddy, her step-dad and her Uncle Chris who is like a Daddy to her. I'm 38 now so chances are I'll never have my own kids, so I'll happily be a Dad vicariously to them.
Merry Christmas everyone and love and peace to all from your Anarchist Brother, Chris.
rowdy..chris..38 is still very young to try for kids..
Deletea lot of people are waiting till almost 40. you will find someone i'm sure
have you looked for any single mom's at your niece's school??
just a thought??
Men don't have a ticking clock like women do Rowdy, there is still hope! Look at Alec Baldwin ;) You can also look into adoption or fostering. Even if you are single!
DeleteExactly what Krystie said! Men have no ticking clock in their pelvis! Unless it's for sexual orientation reasons in which case there is always adoption or as suggested fostering children, or surrogates! Many, many options :)
DeleteThis is why I love this (former CDaN) community. Amidst all the snark and bullshit, we can be little shining lights of hope in others' lives. Your post made my day, Rowdy. Thank you for being such an important part of your nieces (and nephews?) lives.
DeleteRowdy a/k/a Chris: You are just the coolest guy ever!!!! Honest to God, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm married (and an old bat!), I would snap you up in a minute!!! Great things are going to be coming your way, I just know it!!!! In a few years, you'll be too busy to post here because you'll be happily married with 7 kids!!!! God love you - you are truly wonderful!! Merry Christmas!!!!
DeleteGreat story Chris (Rowdy). That beats a drunk uncle story every day of the week. Those girls will always remember you and that Christmas! Don't worry about kids - my ex had his first when he was 43 but Charlie Chaplin had his final kid when he was 75 yrs old - he had a total of 8 children with his last wife. Although he was in his early 50's when they wed, she was only 18 ;)
DeleteDear W.g.o.f, may the rest of your day (and life for that matter) be filled with singing birds, rainbows! Twinkling stars, random smiles, warm hugs and kind words. You very much are in need of it.
ReplyDeleteWow Rowdy, Thank you so much for the family Christmas stories. Totally cool and so true about what we remember long after the gift is gone. My son age 21 and his friend took it upon themselves last year to give me a small but complete Christmas morning including gifts (thrift store) and a tiny potted tree. Needless to say it made my grinches heart grow ten times. The back story here being that I hadn't been able to bring myself to celebrate Christmas properly for years following a god-awful lengthy divorce. My boy showed me that the time for grieving and sadness was over. You better believe that I returned the love in kind this year. Best Christmas ever for my small little family. BW
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, everyone! Don't forget to check your shitters! :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all the Anarchist Gossipers! May you get everything you wanted under and on your tree!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, everyone!!!!! Hope you have a great day!!!! And Thank You, Outtie!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, anarchists! My kids are playing board games with one of my brothers and my moms getting drunk on Christmas wine. I think it might be time for a nap for me. Hope you all have had a relaxing Christmas as well!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas everyone! I hope you're all stuffing yourselves silly with the good stuff ;-)
ReplyDeleterowdy you are the best person ever.. just got back from seeing big eyes..
ReplyDeletegreat film..
My wishes for a lovely holiday and love to all those who post and lurk. Your kind words shared when someone is going through hard times and good times only serve to confirm my belief that, overall, people really are good rather than awful. My hugs and love to you all.
ReplyDeletecompletely off topic but i just saw this and always wondered if the girls with really bad boob jobs like tori spelling and leann rimes had pissed off their surgeons but found this
ReplyDelete"*Surgeries that Just went wrong-Beverly Hills was a show that achieved much fame but Tori Spelling wanted it more. An initial enhancement surgery that bombed made the actress remorseful about having gone under the knife. The surgeon it seems was called back from a vacation and he took the revenge in the worst possible manner. A crooked cleavage leaves a lot to be desired and we feel for her.
yeah i always thought that
Merry Christmas Anarchists! Hope everyone's day was fab. I made my kids take a picture next to coal and now all my friends think I'm the worst mom ever! I think it's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteNot the worst mom ever! Hopefully the little guys realize it was a joke and still got gifts, though.
DeleteMerry Christmas, everyone. I hope you're all not drinking like a Lohan. Hope everyone here got everything they wanted.
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmas to my gossip fam!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI am truly honored by all of your words. You can't imagine how happy I am to know that my posts have meant so much to you this Christmas. I'm honored, blessed and thankful to have people such as yourselves that I can consider friends an an extended family.

ReplyDeleteQuick thought, maybe Outtie would like for me to occasionally send stories of some of my adventures throughout my 38 years to use as a post to expand content. Outtie (if you read this) just email me if you want to do that, then if anyone tries to use them without express permission we can send take down notices like another (supposedly) fat, parents house living guy with poor grammar does lol ;-)
ReplyDeleteI, personally, would love to hear your stories!!
DeleteReader contributions would be awesome ... I gather by who's here Outtie's membership spans, at the very least, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, so imagine all the great stuff we could contribute ... especially those of us who work in the biz :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope that everyone had a safe and wonderful time w their loved ones. That those who experienced loss were able to survive and remember fond times.
ReplyDeleteThat everyone stayed safe.
I had the best xmas ever merely by refusing to share my day with a very manipulative and toxic person. It was truly a euphoric and emancipating experience.
Blessings to everyone and party through to a new year full of even better things.
Thank you Outtie for offering us a place to be ourselves and hang with some cool & funny people.
Xxxxxxx
bee.. realizing and removing those people from your life are the best gift of all
Deleteemancipation is the correct word
and "giving yourself permission" to cut them out of your life is very powerful as well..stay strong
Thank you sugar bread! It really has been the best experience. I hope you're enjoying this festive time. *hugs*
DeleteAnd remember, you can keep on eating and drinking until AFTER new year. Don't forget those mince pies & leftovers!
ReplyDeleteHi all! Merry Christmas to everyone. May 2015 bring you all what would make you pleased :)
ReplyDeleteAt this time of year I usually poke in because I'm holiday from werk (this time on a permanent holiday, bahh) ... but this is clearly the place to do it. Cripes, CDaN went from worse to worse to inexplicably shockingly bad, eh! I just tried in the and saw what looked like an OG Enty blind ... I can't read it, literally can't without any like 'ooh it'd be better if ...' - it just blanks out. So I see things haven't changed. ;)
Anarchy seems to be thriving, there's poetically people that have no idea what this 'CDaN' commentary is about. Answer: It's about nothing important :)
Merry Christmas and etc to you all. And I hope Outtie places this multi part blind amidst all the rest of this juicy original gossip (looked interesting?). Love what Outtie does.
Xox Alita.
#Rowdy, kids are definitely for pranking (and loving).
ReplyDeleteBut the main thing I got is that you're a Wiiu brother. High five, Wiiu brethren.
:)
Yeah they are, people don't know the fun they're missing by not pulling small pranks on them.
DeleteAs for the Wii U, I love all video games, but the Wii U is the only one of the new systems I have. Xbone and PS4 don't have any exclusives that make them worthwhile right now. Plus, I think Nintendo has had the best overall year for games with everything from SSB, Hyrule Warriors (just fun as hell) on the Wii U to Bravely Default and Fantasy Life on 3DS and all the other great games they've released this year, it's no wonder Nintendo is finally making it a race in the "console wars".
Rowdy, after 9 years together, hubs and I have a game console in our home! I gave him a wii u for chrissy. He loves it.
DeleteAlso, about the kids? Hubs and I are trying (despite my health stuff). Like you, he'll make a great dad. Just let it happen with the right person. Blessings to you!
Happy belated HoHos Anarchists! Hope you all had a great day.
ReplyDeleteThanks to those who shared stories on this post - loved reading them (Rowdy, you're a pretty cool Uncle). My day was spent eating too much, laughing myself silly with my nutty clan, hogging the new baby in the family, and appreciating how lucky I am.
Looking forward to the ongoing adventures of the Anarchy gang....!
Mwah!
Belated Christmas greeting, Happy Boxing Day - I stay as far away from malls as possible - and Happy New Year!
