Hey, some of you know my wife! So what the hell should I get her?

Last year I kind of blew the Prez-nats wad by getting her the entirety of Thunderbirds in one massive boxed set. Damn, I miss that paycheck.

Anyway, I have several ideas that I need to pick one by the weekend.

A) Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Deluxe Edition (w/ Smeogal statue)
B) The Far Side boxed set
C) X-Files season 2. Or possibly 3.
D) Your Idea Here.

I vote A. Oh totally. A.

[elissa-carey.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Insanity will surely follow if this isn't chosen.

[thebitterguy]

My only quibble with this is that I'd really like to get the BIg Boxed Set that will inevitably come out, and that'll render these two redundant (or possibly all three redundant, knowing our DVD buying habits).

It does seem like a popular choice, however.

I've also heard that the smeagol statue is craptastic.

Definitely a bad mark it that column.

Personally, I vote for The Far Side boxed set.

I saw the 2 volume boxed set in Costco last weekend and just drooled.

[anidada.livejournal.com]

I second this. It's hideously tempting, in a wonderful way.

[fic-slayer.livejournal.com]

Isn't it though? Who doesn't love Gary Larson?

I'm still kicking myself for not buying it myself. If I was employed, I would have done it.

[anidada.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's also hideously expensive. *sigh*

[fic-slayer.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I squeed, then wanted to cry when I saw the price tag.

Wah.

[thebitterguy]

How much was it at CostCo?

[fic-slayer.livejournal.com]

Um, I think it was $78 US.

[thebitterguy]

Ahhh. That wouldn't be too bad, actually. Probably come out to about $100 Canadian. Of course, it's probably more at Costco up here, if they have it.

[fic-slayer.livejournal.com]

I know I can't justify it, but I'm going to look at Costco anyway.

Hey, I can dream.

If no one else is getting her LotR, I say go with that. Otherwise, X-Files.

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

Oh, and it goes without saying, but any season boxed set of Buffy or Angel she doesn't have. And Firefly.

[thebitterguy]

Whedon-esque items are just a matter of "gonna get them anyway."

Okay, I don't know your wife, or you for that matter (new reader :) ) but I know me and I want the Far Side collection... that thing is mega-ass sweet.

BTW. I have a copies of X-Files season 1 and 3 in very good condition for sale. $50 a pop. If your interested. At any point. Just leave me a comment on my blog (www.geekent.com). I had 2 and 4 but have sold them already. I burned out on the X-Files somewhere around season 6.

Y'know, these are tough choices - or they would be, if it were not for the Season 3 X-files suggestion:

Season three has "Pusher" AND "Jose Chung's It Came From Outer Space" (The Best Hour of Television I Have Ever Seen *TM*)

Jose Chung! Jose Chung! Jose Chung!

"Alex Trebek the game show host?"

"Well, he didn't say it was Alex Trebek... only that it looked a lot like Alex Trebek."

[thebitterguy]

AND Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, AND 2SHY, AND Nisei... Man, I forgot how good the show was back then.

[rfmcdpei.livejournal.com]

I"d go for The Far Side boxed set.

[rockgoddes.livejournal.com]

What about the Firefly boxed set?

[thebitterguy]

That would be like getting my mom a baseball glove. We'll get that anyway. That and Buffy season 5.
