Christmas brought me geek aka Ow ow my penis is burning!

Christmas has come and sort of gone, and I stand here looking at my spoils. And all I can really think of right now is that I make it much too easy to shop for me.

Really, if it screams geek (or the sports teams I like) you know I will like it no matter what. And I will embrace it. I will wear it and smile at the confusing looks on the faces of those around me.

So its about the point where you are asking yourself what’s all the nonsense about a penis? I know, I know. But patience.

So I just wanted to share with you the highlights.

Two copies of The Big Bang Theory – Season 1

Yep. two copies. I have to say I really have gotten lucky over the years. I really didn’t ever receive duplicates of gifts. But this time the geeks of CBS rolled in. And despite Josh’s indifference to the show, I enjoy it. A bit over the top at times, but then again I am a bit over the top at times.

The son picked me out 1989’s Batman for me

That would be my 17 month son. Yep, Mom pointed him in the direction and this is what he chose. A movie in my top 5 comic movies of all time that I have not had the pleasure of owning. All I know is if he is picking out this kind of quality fare at 17 months, he will be picking the movies we are going to in a couple of years.

Complete set of Munchkin achieved—almost

Going into the holiday season I had been lucky enough to receive expansions two through four and six. I had not been able to get my hands on Munchkin 5 – De-ranged. Sure with the four to five players we have in a game we barely put a dent in that mountain of a playing deck, but it was incomplete. Too bad I still need to get Munchkin 7 – More Good Cards. But really I was steering clear of that expansion for now with the power of the cards it has included with it. So for now I will take my much too tall Munchkin stacks and go from there. There was a reason I was asking for card shoes for Christmas.

Two Wii games for a system I don’t own

We have this friend who brought over his Wii awhile back. And he refuses to take it back. He claims me feeding him every so often is more than enough in return. And all the wii-motes, racing wheels, classic controllers from Japan and games have been his too. Every so often he will show up with new games. Yes he is a pretty awesome friend.

So Santa in his infinite wisdom brought me two Wii games, Trivial Pursuit and Iron Chef America. Now there are two things I am said to possess.

1. Mary Poppins Pants so dubbed by Christy, you can ask her.
2. A very uncanny ability to regurgitate pop culture facts, which is probably why Josh let me spew my brain here at Geek6.

So I was super excited for Trivial Pursuit, a game which most friends will play with me (unlike Marvel Scene It which has never been played past the first time it was opened because people refuse to play with me). And a couple of games in, I have to say good choice Santa. And then it dropped a question about Josh Whedon. Yes Josh, not Joss. So disappointed. But then again they do offer Dick Button as a choice for an awful lot of skating questions. Let’s hope my friend doesn’t take back the Wii any time soon.

Ghostbuster boxers

‘Nuff said I think yes?

New games!

A little game called The Game of Things. I like to call it a The Game Where Everyone Gangs Up on Jason. See the point of this game is that a topic is presented, everyone writes a response to it, then you go around and try to score points by guessing who said what. Example? Question: What is something that you should not yell at the top of your lungs? A couple of tonight’s answers? “My penis!” and “Ow my penis!”

See there might have been a point in time where I was making some couscous and might have accidentally knocked a pot of boiling oil and water off the stove onto my crotch. And then I might have reacted by running in a circle scream “Ow my penis! My penis is burning!” and then proceeded to fall on my ass. Now this happened at least two years ago, but the story gets told by my loving wife at least once a month. And no worries, it was actually just part of my upper leg.

And so for two people to drop that reference on a single question just goes to show that I am famous in my own right. And why I call it the game where everyone gangs up on Jason? Well besides the above, my name was included in as an answer in no less than three other questions. One of which I think included the word annoying.

Did I mention I like my friends? The above story that I just shared is also why I received this nifty apron for Christmas as well.
