Here it is, the day of Christ’s birthday. Prompted by my mate at School I’ve put together a wish list. Look not for a rhyme or reason. Unlike my first post (go read it), this list concerns not only gaming, but the gaming life which playing video games is but a small part of. So, for what it’s worth --which, judging by both Internet advertisement rates and my income, isn’t much-- here’s my semi-grownup Christmas list.
For Christmas I’d like:
· Websites and magazines to require their writers to use their real name instead of silly ones like “Zapper.”
· I’d like the following words and phrases to be stricken from the English language:
o Compelling --except when I’m referring to my girlfriend in a green dress.
o Over the top --except when referring to World War I infantrymen.
o Rocking --except when referring to Def Leppard or Three Doors Down.
o 24/7 --absolutely no exceptions.
o Happy Holidays --call it Christmas –I’m not asking anyone to convert to Christianity. It is, however, a historical fact that Christ lived. This is when we acknowledge his birth. Deal with it.
o Intuitive --except when referring to what my girlfriend and I do in the privacy of my bedroom.
o Robust --no exceptions.
o Immersive --except when referring to screaming through Turn Nine at Silverstone raceway in a T-342 Lola Formula Ford.
o Kicks butt --except when referring to Alan Bass, my secondary school’s resident bad boy.
o Seamless --except when referring to eggs.
o African American --no exceptions --Hey, I don’t here my unlce make anybody call him Euro-American.
· America to not only win a military victory in the war on terrorism, but to truly address the fundamental injustices that spawn it.
· To see more PR reps that know how to boot the games they represent.
· A real playoff system in college amnerican football.
· A great turn-based BattleTech computer game.
· A Mission Critical follow on.
· Posters to learn where the reply button resides in their posts. You don’t have to want there pitches, but have the opportunity to say no.
· Professional athletes who whine placed in a “real” job for a month.
· Rappers to lighten the hell up.
· More women to wear mini-skirts.
· To watch more sunsets, tell more jokes, learn more from my kids, shoot more baskets, play my stereo louder, be nicer to people, turn off my computer, spend more time drinking beer with friends, and make lots of good memories. Computer stores to close at 11:00 PM, work to start at 9:00 AM, and for everyone to take daily siestas on a Caribbean beach. For the entire world to stop sweating the small stuff, slow down, and enjoy each other. It’s our only chance.
· And last, but not least, for God to bless us one and all.
Merry Christmas, Happy Kwaanza, Happy Hanukkah to everyone.

I could be a women. (I'm not, just I was so bored I thought I'd post something).

That's a good post. Very funny, too and I think that nobody should be called Bill Gates either.
