Anyone have any good ideas on Christmas presents, in the $50 or less range?

At the moment, I'm getting "hey Mxy, what do you want for Christmas" and I've nearly run out of books and media and other crap to tell people.

Good gifts have to cost more than $50. I thought everyone knew this.

I think you can buy the state of Michigan for $49.95

(after tax, it'd be over $50, but tax doesn't count, right?)

How are you enjoying that 14 billion dollar deficit in Cali Denny?

It's overhyped. We really don't feel it too much in L.A., socially-speaking. It's life as usual. Los Angeles really doesn't follow the shit-trail from Sacramento. We've got our own economy out here. Some City government jobs could go, but hopefully (if we're smart), it'll be that fat bitch behind the desk who's sole duty is to be rude and yap on her cell phone to her girlfriends which making $$$ with full benefits.

Really, I see this recession as a sort of "cleansing" of the shit, almost like an economic colonic. As for gifts, my suggestion is to focus not on the gift, but the company. reward the good companies, punish the bad.

Yeah, your state racked up 14 billion in over spending on state employee salaries.

Like our Federal Gov't, CA's economy is big enough to erase deficits when things turn around. But don't get me started on the states employees union.

Thus far, novel gift ideas for 50 bucks or less include:

1) Lions playoff tickets
2) Ford
3) GM
4) Chrysler
5) the great state of California

Why don't I feel helped by these suggestions?

Hmmm...

When I called Blagojevich about that Senate seat, he assured me that it wasn't a $50-or-less gift. Only Barack Obama seemed to think it was that cheap, or so Blago and his wife told me. Hopefully, someone didn't record our phone conversation... it might be embarrassing.

BTW, the International Star Registry is mostly a scam. It's a pretty scam, and I'm sure it'd be a great gift for some emo chick who you want to have put out that night, but it's a scam nonetheless.

I think you can buy a lot of weed for under $50. I'll have to check with my brother.

OUCH! I'm actually debating if that's worth giving to a buddy of mine as a joke. One time we found his girlfriends herpes meds in his bathroom.
