Hi-Dee-Ho people, its almost Christmas time! A time where friends and family get together, exchange gifts, have a laugh and get stuck in traffic trying to get home after it all ends. I personally want to wish you all a very Merry (or Happy) Christmas and I hope Santa gives you all what you want this year, which is probably my autograph. IT COULD HAPPEN!!
This weeks newsletter is brought to you by the letter W.....
Now for some random news from places i've never been:
Seattle, Washington (2012-12-20)
Have you ever thought about getting a Christmas tree only to want the biggest one you can find, and then realizing its too big for your house? This man has! Patrick Kruger was determined to fit his Christmas tree into his house — even if he had to break the roof to squeeze it in.
"I found a tree I really liked, however, as you can see from the pictures, it was hardly the right size for our home," the Seattle architect told TODAY.com.
So he came up with a creative solution: he cut off the top 6 feet and turned it into a prop he then attached to the roof, creating an optical illusion that the Christmas tree had literally burst through the building.
I think that is pretty clever considering when I first saw the pictures I couldnt even tell. He gets my BAMF Stamp of the day, word.
Las Vegas, Nevada (2012-12-04)
Ever been so lonely that you decided to phone up a customer service hotline about shoes and stay on the phone with them for 10 hours? (Dont answer that Tesla)
Unlike many other online retailers (including parent company Amazon.com), Zappos.com plasters its site with its toll-free customer service number, which is staffed 24/7. When a Midwestern college student called the site's Nevada headquarters two weeks ago to buy a pair of Uggs boots, the transaction turned into a chat marathon for 10 hours about the city, where the student was considering moving. The rep was able to take some breaks during the call; the customer agreed to hold the line.
Now thats nuts but good customer service. I sure hope they at least sold a pair of shoes.
Moving on....
WPC Radio
I am proud to announce that WPC Radio is BACK! Thanks to LordDean with help from Whisky, the radio is operation via Caster.fm. LordDean has been streaming from his own collection with loads of bangin' Tunes! Take a listen above and be sure to look for the radio back on the main site SOON! Maybe one of these ill get off my ass and start doing the radio stuff again lol
Speaking of music, in order to get into the Christmas Spirit, I dedicate this song to you all.
The council would like to take this opportunity to warn you all again about the policies set on these boards. We have agreed in the past that discussing certain topics on the boards or in TS are ill-advised. Topics such as Religion and Politics are such to get people frustrated to the point of heated arguements, and we really dont want that to happen with our members. If you feel that you want to discuss things between people reguarding these said topics, then please keep them in private conversations. Thank you again for your cooperation.
New Members
There is nothing to report this week. Due to the holiday season, a lot of us are busy with shopping and all that good stuff. Stay tuned next week as we see if some of our hopefuls make it to Wolf status.
Christmas Time
With Christmas just around the corner, many of you are excited to see family and friends. Many of you are eager to see what Santa brought you this year. Many of you cant simply wait for the FOOOOOD. Christmas is the perfect time to be with loved ones and share the joy with one another. But back to the gifts, if you cant figure out what to get...DONT WORRY!!
I have found a few more things that I believe should be in every home. Ill share with you now:
The Pizza Boss
It is what it is....makes life easy for those who get pizza that isnt pre-sliced!
The Wrist Phone
Ever watch the movie Dick Tracy or ever seen an episode of the Power Rangers...and think to yourself how cool it would be to communicate with people with a watch transmitter? Well now you can! Get yourself a Cell Phone Watch and make your dreams come true!
Christmas Sweaters
No one in the world should be without one of these. Fashion police wont even look at you, but youll be warm as hell if you strap yourself in one of these babys! Make sure you get the ones with more then 300 colors to liven the party.
Jawas: The Movie
All I have to say is....I know Hemi is getting this one for Christmas. Hope its everything you hoped and dreamed about. Im sure one of their names is Bruce.
The SupaBoy
Ever thought to yourself, "I wish I could play my Super Nintendo in my dads sh*tty Ford Fiesta, while driving to my grandparents house in the middle of F*ckin Nowhere"? Well now you can! Make sure you put this on your wishlist asap!
Bacon Doughnuts
Lets combine the best of both worlds and be done with it. Who doesnt like bacon? Who doesnt like doughnuts? NOBODY! This is the best mashup possible by the 'Muricans!
The Steam Winter Sale
Of course, if you dont find any of the other stuff appealing, you could always just go on the steam website and buy games for one another. Its cheap, its easy and fun all at the same time. Just make sure that you dont spend it all on some game thats like Duke Nukem Forever....just no.
Anyway people, that is it for me this week as I am FINALLY done with this newsletter. I hope you all have a great holiday season and I wish you all a Happy New Year to come.
Remember, there is always a Wolf in a Christmas sweater....
