we nearly filled up before the main meal LOL but we NEVER ran out of drinks - phewww****
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3262.jpg

Jazzy hit the hard stuff early LOL j/k

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3263.jpg


i hope someone comments on Vessies baby

[fred flintstone]

Now for the main event - tried to give it a nice restaurant feel-presentation
i have to say all aspects came out well but the standout was Wilmas homemade mash - called The Block Your Coronaries Mash LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3264.jpg

and here we are at the dinner table - very civilised LOL for an aussie lunch
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3265.jpg

Luc was all giggles with his GF there
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3267.jpg

[fred flintstone]

I have to make notice that VESSIE was the ONLY one to finish her lunch and she got the biggest serve - CONGRATS short stack

Jazzy Strongbows were kicking in and with his crown on he felt like king of the pack and decided to pick on post prandial Vessie LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3268.jpg

a few moments later and they were friends again - Poozers LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3271.jpg

the two BBs got quite emotional and wanted to give a little for scottie
notice the grin on Jazzy
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3273.jpg
gee you smell nice BB what you got on - Michael Jordan cologne - LOL loves his sports to the end

thanks for a good meal BB
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3274.jpg
thanks BB - thats what friends are for

[fred flintstone]

Then the post prandial sugar high LOL

being silly is part of being a BB LOL:buttrock:
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3275.jpg

and then amazing feats of strength LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3278.jpg

notice the terror on the face of Vessie LOL :eplus2:

[fred flintstone]

Then it was "Santas" turn - we tried to appease and explain to the kids why some presents came that day and why Vessie and Jazzy got so many LOL
it was cool - they were really good about it and were more excited about Vessie and Jazzy opening their gifts - what gr8 kids
Vessie and Jazzy got the kids some nice gifts -THANKS GUYS
and Mom and Dad got them some chocolate filled stockings

Ladies first as Charlotte unwrapped her presents with gusto LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3284.jpg
a beautiful little people set - good choice Jazzy (it doesn't make noise LOL)
but the Dora pen and colour set nearly coloured some walls LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3282.jpg

where mine says Luc as he felt happy for his sister but left out
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3283.jpg
here it is mate - a spiderman action figure and the smiles came LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3285.jpg

[fred flintstone]

Things started to get more interesting when the exchanges between Vessie Jazzy and Dr A as well as Wilma started - (THANKS AGAIN guys)
where to begin as Vessie starred at a bag big enough for her to fit in (the red one near the christmas tree in above pics) and Jazzy at the one with Santa in a blue background - it was a big Christmas Haul
but wait what is this unassuming brown box under the christmas tree??????
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3245.jpg
it was from the fourth Musketeer - the legend himself Scottieeeeeee
we were treated to a delight of gifts and brought amazement at the generosity as you are about to see
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3246.jpg
look at that postage cost WOW that hurts but thanks mate
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3247.jpg
and the cool spidey wrapping but where are the label :confused: LOL

[fred flintstone]

Geez where to begin...

lets start with Vessie - she was speechless(thanks Scottie)
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3291.jpg
a georgeous Tony Perna original Batman Sketch
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3301.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3302.jpg
she nearly didn't leave with it :eplus2: LOL

[fred flintstone]

Next was the one we call BB - Justin to his mates and Jutsin to his enemies LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3293.jpg
he opened up his box and found a delightfull array of candy and chocolate (which we also all received each a box of - thanks Scottie from our dentists LOL)
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3299.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3307.jpg
he couldn't find anything else in it
strange i thought cause i had gotten a PM from scottie and knew what was in there - so i said look harder (LOB for you Scottie)
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3308.jpg
there we go LOL

[fred flintstone]

and the treasure was found
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3318.jpg
a georgeous TP original sketch card
the alcohol made the words fuzzy LOL and hard to read
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3321.jpg
but too all there - there was no denying the joy and grin on BB's face - Good One Scottie
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3316.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3315.jpg

hang on attentive readers what does the other BB have in his package we can see there???

[fred flintstone]

Buckeye genuine dried beef jerky

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3323.jpg


hang on moment we need to go back to the beginning LOL
here is BB slobering over some OHIO treasures with anticipation
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3295.jpg
there was quite some interest from my ooohh and ahhhs - what in there dad???
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3303.jpg

[fred flintstone]

I have to admit i felt singled out by Scottie with some INCREDIBLE gifts
in company to some delicious candy and chocolates that are probably gone (yes Wilma this concerning you LOL) - was

1- A georgeous and collection building Starfox MB - a beautiful commission and prelim from my co Avenger fan Scottie "Avenger" LOL funny that
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3319.jpg

2- No gift is complete without a TP original - that is my stunned look at the fact i got a MB and a TP original - my christmas was complete
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3339.jpg

3- and the tears nearly flowed as i gazed upon my Al Davis Thor sketch
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3343.jpg

Scottie made three peoples Xmas complete and joyful - Thanks D'Artagnan - We love you and missed you
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3328.jpg
it was complete cause we got to chat for a good time on the phone with you that day - take care of Jazzy and be prepared for a visit by the other two Aussies at some stage
PS you will be visiting and be prepared for a royal welcome - you rock mate - thanks again

sorry for the quality of the photo - Wilma was more interested on focusing on the door LOL she ain't a big comic fan LOL

[fred flintstone]

Next we attacked the mountain of gifts for Vessie and Jazzy
the theme for the pressies could of been called attack of the killer Tshirts LOL
Vessie got 3 (with one very special one designed by yours truly - piece de resitance LOL)
and
Jazzy got 5 ( with 2 designed specifically for him and two for scottie)

OK - well here are the first two tshirts for vessie which she loved and laughed herself silly - i have never heard her laugh so much - it was a beautiful sound
hope you guys enjoy and those that know Vessie try not to laugh to hard...
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3388.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3389.jpg
she's too sexy for her shirt ...on the catwalk....LOL

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3391.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3392.jpg
definetely defines the FIGJAM LOL
and thank God he broke the mold when he did make her - two Vessies the world cannot contain LOL

can't wait for her to wear them

[fred flintstone]

Then came the piece both Jazzy and I were very proud of...
as she keeps telling us "hands off Kilowog...he's mine"
and thus the photoshop went to work hard and here are the results both from photoshop and "live"
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/kilowog2.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3426.jpg
with a happy customer
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3452.jpg
photo with Vessie in her "special" shirt to follow:thumbs2:

[fred flintstone]

Then came BB's turn
a few gifts from his BB partner in name
1st of the rank was a present for Jazzy to wear in Ohio
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3355.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3358.jpg

and some more advertising for Ohio - the man has knowledge damm it - he has a PhD(down Scottie LOL)
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3379.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3381.jpg

i can hear the plane leaving from Ohio to Oz as we speak...

[fred flintstone]

to go with that PhD i thought some chocolate in blue balls would be nice - so Jazzy was more than happy to models his blue balls;)
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3414.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3416.jpg
look at the grin on his face LOL

in keeping with chocolate and the theme of alcohol of the day - a reminder of the only thing missing other than Scottie
BARRY - here is a mini chocolate version of the game Cluedo which we play so often when we go to play Barry
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3387.jpg

[fred flintstone]

the next Tshirt for the tall fella was inspired by his second favourite drink Whiskey
couldn't find one that said whiskey but the message was not lost with the substitution
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3397.jpg

but ewww its Vodka only poozers drink vodka including cruisers LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3396.jpg

so i went up bit more upmarket for his Christmas present( not that we don't love what JW does for Jazzy LOL)

here is a nice Bottle of Glenfiddich and a nice bottle to store it for his trip over to the US and make sure he's buttered for Scottie on arrival (you owe me one Scottie LOL)
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3393.jpg
ooohhh shiny and pretty - BB likes LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3419.jpg

[fred flintstone]

Next was two pressies courtesy of the Hottie in the Kilowog and Dr A
some obviously theme inspired Tshirts
1st up the first solo and world premiere...and unique...Angel in Red - not that poxy blue

"look Ma ....look what i got"
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3364.jpg

love that smile and joy - two Angels today - one beautiful Sketch card unique exclusive from Scottie our US aussie and a cool T shirt from the rest of the Aussie squad
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3362.jpg

the next was a must and a NO brainer LOL
nothing more than BB himself
why don't you take me down to Sesame Street.....
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3373.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3374.jpg

[fred flintstone]

after an era of LPs CDs 8 track(for the oldies) and tapes - the next revolution has been the DVD
and Vessie likes her TV especially at "work" LOL

Justin treated the young lass from the West to the boxset of their favourite show featuring New Zealanders (topical as they are in the US) - Flight of the Conchords - highly recommended by Vessie and Jazzy
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3360.jpg

this was followed by another topical DVD box set of 3 seasons of the WESTern drama DEADWOOD- don't know if Vessie is old enough to watch it on her own LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3371.jpg

the boxsets continued with Dr A gift of the first season of Supernatural - the adventures of two young hunks fighting of demons - focus on the story Vessie - and watch out for spoilers by Anand - he is up to season 4 - something for you guys to talk about rather than fighting all the time like brother and sister LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3398.jpg

I thought i'd finish by giving Vessie some of her family's home movies in the form of the Simpsons boxset season 11 LOL
- don't know which she is but i've been told i am the comic shop guy (groan) LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3408.jpg

[fred flintstone]

Jazzy got a couple of nice DVDs
the first was seriously eyed by our resident Batman fan Vessie - you guessed it the Dark Knight it was LOL -careful on the ride home BB
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3401.jpg

and with a new James Bond coming out and a new actor - knowing Jazzy also looks good in a suit as per his profile pic on his profile SF page - and the fact JB like BB plays texas 'hold 'em - it was a sure buy of a collectors edition - cause thats what we are and crazy too LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3425.jpg

Vessie set out to prove to Scottie that there was still hope LOL
and she got his man (the smile on Jazzy's face says it all) the dvd of P,S, I love you and the best of Kylie DVD LOL
not that there anything wrong with that LOL
you go *girl
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3410.jpg

[fred flintstone]

What about some books BB you say
well no get together can go down without a HC being given

Vessie scored the hole in her Ultimate Spiderman HC collection with a cool edition of #3
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3404.jpg

she also got a nice collected edition of the Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper
a little bit of magic LOL and i'm not talking about Vessie
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3402.jpg

but i was about to be out trumped by the master BB with nothing less than a signed Jim Lee Absolute Hush edition
nice move Jazzy and congrats Vessie
tears were forming LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3376.jpg
by the main man himself
the greatest comic book artist of our time ....of our time
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3377.jpg

[fred flintstone]

Jazzy's HC from the US hadn't arrived:bawling: so a belated christmas gift
BUT
he did score a very well thought out gift by the little girl from the West (note the absence of the word Lady LOL)
a lonely planet guide for his trip next year( we want to go too:bawling: )
US and a small companion of NYC:buttrock:
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3405.jpg

gr8 one Vessie - you're a little ripper

[fred flintstone]

I always like adding a few little fun extras to my gift bags

no extras is complete without some nice candy - some simpson (Lisa) PEZ and gum as well as some Batman food for Vessie LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3412.jpg

also a game in the form of TOP TRUMPS card game - Simpson style - i think too many words for the young lass LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3418.jpg

Jazzy scored some PEZ simpson (Bart) too LOL
gee excited about sugar isn't he LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3403.jpg

and a TOP TRUMPS too but Marvel heroes for our resident X fan LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3428.jpg

[fred flintstone]

the day was not over for the young lass who was about to score a niece gift courtesy of her two big brothers
we distracted with a TPB called POINT BLANK by Ed Brubaker and Colin Wilson (we love ya Colin)
we had bought this at the Armageddon con on the Sunday for Vessie as a consolation of not being able to be with us
Colin was such an awesome guy that he sketched the inside with a personal word - what a gr8 aussie and talented one to boot is you get to meet him - in the immortal words of Ben Stiller in Starsky and Hutch - DO IT!!!!

[fred flintstone]

She was also distracted by a fun little samurai emblemed drink bottle by the doctor
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3394.jpg
and a set of Marvel stamps by the other BB in her life LOL
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3386.jpg

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/luc04/IMG_3441.jpg
