Wow. That was my childhood.

Year's end meme
A look back at 2008 via the first words I posted each month:
January: The first day of the new year... woke up hung over and irritable.
February: I found myself in work this morning before the sun had even come up. That's just wrong.
March: HESS truck! It lights up, and that's about it.
April: Well, our new found Irish friend completed the restoration of our stone wall today.
May: RIP Albert Hofmann.
June: In the normal course of a day, I send roughly 20 some emails to various people asking them to complete, correct or re-do work. That's my job.
July: In order to help fill the state coffers, Massachusetts just put into effect an additional $1 per pack cigarette tax.
August: Sorry, guys. I have no information about Wall E stuffed animals. If there are any, I'd like one.
September: Got my copy of The Bunny Boy today.
October: Needless to say, I can not wait!
November: Well, the trick or treating was light, but over all it was a fun day.
December: You may now refer to me as Rev. TK8103.
Thanks to Mycalls for the idea. Here's hoping 2009 is a decent year, filled with happiness, prosperity, and more inane drivel from yours truly.
And my apologies to KG for dumping champagne all over her.

Scary toys and proof of Claus
Way back in 1980 I just had to have the most awesome, 18" action figure ever made: Alien
What kid wouldn't want such an incredible, nightmare inducing hunk of plastic? I honestly don't know what the folks at Kenner were thinking when they came up with this. A tie in for a R rated horror movie. At any rate, being a monster and sci-fi buff, I wanted it.
My mother, of course, said no way. Being 7, I decided to ask Santa for it, since my mother wouldn't even entertain the idea. I wasn't holding out much hope, since she said she was telling Santa not to get it.
Christmas morning rolled around, and Santa left the usual pile of booty. One of the last presents I opened was a big box, and as the paper peeled away I saw that monster's eyes peering out at me. I exclaimed in joy "Santa got me the Alien!!!"
My mother acted all pissed. "Damn it, I told Santa not to get that for you!"
I remember going back to school, convinced Santa must be real if he went against my parents' wishes and got me the toy I wanted most.
I still have it to this day:

All I want for Christmas Part 2
Is to be small enough to take one of these for a spin again. I had many a great adventure on my Green Machine.
