Panic BuyingIt's the last shopping day before the whole country shuts down for christmas. You've been looking all over for something, anything, to buy your favourite person. Something that says you care, that makes them see you in a new light.
Well, something that won't make them punch you would do. My brother-in-law once bought his wife a bin for her birthday - it was a very nice bin, but boy was he in the crud for days.
What have you bought in sheer panic and desperation? Go on, you know you do it every year.

I'm a victim of panic-buying......but not, as they didn't go near a shop for this one. One of my pressies this year was one of those clocks made from a CD. Only this one wasn't made from a CD but a blank CD-R, printed with a rough-as-fuck pirate-esque copy of the DVD disc print for Star Wars Episode III. I'd previously seen these 'make our own wanky clock from a CD' kits at a computer fair, so obviously it was a rushed home-made effort.
I wouldn't mind if I hadn't spent half the year telling anyone who would listen how utterly shite Episode III was - I only watched it at all for the sake of closure, and wish I hadn't even then. Don't get me wrong here, home-made is cool, and it is the thought that counts, but only when you're thinking of the person in question when choosing the gift rather than some nameless, witless fucktard who wouldn't know decent interior design or a half-decent movie if they bit them on the arse.
For an independent review of Ep III that I couldn't have put better myself, see www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=episode3
