SACTOBILLSFAN Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I am a huge Arizona State football fan and in Christmas of 96 I got a bowl of roses from my parents. I thought it was a really crue joke because they knew that I really wanted to go watch Jake the Snake play Ohio State, but when I looked inside the box the bowl came in there were two tickets to the Rose Bowl...my dad and I flew to CA and had the time of our lives even though a squib kick and the prevent defense let that 'roid head David Boston catch a game winning TD which cost ASU the national title.

Psycho Ward 86 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 My favorite gift came from my husband about four years ago--our dog Jake. One of the things that makes it my favorite gift is the fact that when we met Rich told me that he didn't like dogs. I always had dogs as a child and would have a huge kennel of dogs if space and time and money permitted. Not long after we met in 1987 my dog passed away. Being a full time college student and working full time I did not have the time to take care of a dog. As soon as I got my own apartment I wanted to get a dog; again I decided to wait because I worked such long hours that I knew I wouldn't have the time to committ to an animal. Once Rich moved in with me, I again mentioned wanting a dog and again he reminded me that he did NOT like dogs--bad childhood memory of a dog killing his cats. Imagine my surprise Christmas morning 2000 when I open an envelope and it is a gift certificate for the SPCA so that I can go and pick out my very own dog!!! Not only did he remember that I wanted a dog but he knew that I wanted to adopt one from a shelter instead of buying one from a pet store. The real irony of this story is that now he loves his furry son! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell the REAL story: My wife ordered me to get her a dog, saying something to the effect of, "If you don't get me a dog for Christmas, I'll kick your sorry a**, punk!"

BillsFanLevy Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 If I would've known I could've killed two birds with one (diamond) stone, I would've proposed for Xmas instead of the middle of summer! The only downfall to that is if you don't get married she doens't have to give the ring back. If you give it on a national holiday it's a gift but if you give it on a normal day and break up you can get it back. I knew all that People's Court in college would pay off one day...
