Poll: Your christmas badge

[Mortier]

Sooooo I got the TARDIS. What's so special about it?

 

[ModReap]

You know, I was panicking, and then I found this Towel.

I'm not panicking anymore, 'cause all the best froops have a towel.

 

[Lawllerskater]

I like puppies.

 

[LivingInStereo]

I seem to have a black lotus, which as I understand is a rather handy Magic card.

 

[Kingshadow6]

I think I got a dog last year too...

 

[Dfskelleton]

Ticket to the Spiderman Musical.
I clicked yes simply because I hate the Spiderman Musical so much that it's funny. WPuld've preferred the zombie doll, but I already got one in real life. People know what I find funny.

 

[zombiejoe]

I got a mouse...


D:

but I like it.

 

[Knusper]

I got a NERF gun, which was very appropriate, as I had just given one as a joke present to my brother, and when I activated the gift, he was firing all his NERFs at me, I really needed something to fight back with, so... yay!

 

[Uncreation]

I got a phazer. Pretty cool i guess. But then i saw that some people got a Black Lotus. A lot of people. Damn it! I actually play MtG. Well, not that much now, but, i used to play quite a lot before, so i would have prefered that. (Yeah, i know, it's not a real Black Lotus card, but whatever.)

I got some kind of yu-gi-oh card.

It's not a you-gay-ho card, damn it! Eh, never mind. I'm a bit surprised at how few people knew what it is. I've seen threads about MtG here, an quite a few people that said they played.

So, uh, can we trade these badges for other ones? If so, i'll trade a phaser(pewpewpew) for a Black Lotus.

 

[Blemontea]

I got a zombie doll, fitting yes but it seemed bland and unoriginal somewhat, but im satisfyed.

 

[smeghead25]

So I got the towel badge as you can see (<-) and I was really happy with it, as I love The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... Until I saw the phaser, cuz I love Star Trek more, as you once again can see (<-). So I was just wondering what badges you all got (Maybe there's someting even better that the phaser to me...) and your thoughts on them.

P.S. Thank you Escapist for my shiny new badge!

EDIT: I want the TARDIS key!!!

EDIT2: For those of you wondering what the Black Lotus is, it's the rarest and most expensive Magic: The Gathering card in existence. It's worth about $1000 retail, and probably a lot more if sold privately. Though the card is good, I really don't think it's worth it...

If only we could swap badges, I would trade you my phaser for the towel in like a millisecond flat!

 

[yundex]

What's so great about the tardis badge? Something about dr who I see, but I don't know anything about it.

 

[smeghead25]

I got a towel.

I love Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy so I was able to get the reference.

anyone that has ever read it would get the reference -_-

Are you implying that there are people who have read it but don't LOVE it!? :O

 

[Ambi]

I got a Black Lotus! Hell yeah. I used to have a Beta Black Lotus when I was a kid.. I never should have given away my old magic cards..

But yeah, I'm happy with it.

You gave away a $1000 card?? To who?

To.. some kid.. in junior high. Seriously, I have no idea who. I decided to stop playing, so I just randomly gave all my cards to the other kids who played. I was trying to re-imagine myself as a less nerdy dude, which of course didn't work, and I actually got back into magic about 3 years later in high school. And get this: at the end of high school, I gave all my cards away *again*, and some of that stuff is worth a lot today, too. Let this be a lesson to young nerds: if you start feeling a lot of nerd-shame, don't just burn your past like I did. Stockpile that shit.

One of my teachers told a similar anecdote of how he had one of the original first edition Spiderman comics. He sold all his nerd stuff at a low price because he wanted to be cool and he regretted it more than anything because now those comic books, in mint condition, sell for about $200000, he said.

I got the much coveted Key to the TARDIS (they had it in all caps..). I've never watched Doctor Who. I liked the quote with it: "to celebrate the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism" and I like the way it looks, however.

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

I got the king of pop's glove...

The Black Lotus would have been nice though...

 

[GeorgW]

I got Tardis Key. I had to Wiki it cuz I didn't get the reference. :/

Then you don't deserve it. You must therefore give your badge to me. Now!

YES!! I got cheese to attract any hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings I can find!

Sounds like you deserve the towel badge

I WANT THE KEY TO THE TARDIS. I LOVE DOCTOR WHO

I got the Towel...which considering I've never seen HGttG, the reference was lost.

It's a book, one that you should read. Now!

I got a Towel, Sadly I did not get the reference.

You too, read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

 

[awatkins]

I got a stupid piece of cheese. Not even good cheese either.

 

[Hallow'sEve]

cheese....really? : P

 

[Owlslayer]

I got a phaser! And I'm pretty happy about it. Wouldn't really want a towel or cheese, though i do see how some people might fancy those things more that a phaser.
