So a department store santa told a kid he couldn't get him a Nerf gun? What's the big deal? We've always told my daughter the small gifts and sticking fillers were from santa and the big, expensive ones were from me and her dad. That way there're no kids in her class wondering why santa got them a stationary set but gave my daughter an expensive new bike. I thing a Nerf gun might be a bit outside of Santa's price range (or he can't get them because they're made by Hasbro, not Santa's elves).

Of course Santa said no, you could shoot your eye out! https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

The kid has an armory of Nerf. My house has many times been littered with foam bullets. I've been taken hostage on occasion, when he and his dad have a big brawl.

My favorite gift to bring to the office gift exchange was always a nerf gun. I made sure to break it loose in the box and load and cock it before I wrapped it. It was one of those round robin exchanges where there were no names and people picked a gift at random. They opened it then could keep it or swap it for something someone else had already opened. The nerf gun was never traded away willingly. It was always stolen. It also usually took less than 3 min after it was opened before one of the partners was shot with it. My favorite Christmas party ever was the last one of my time at that company. 4 other folks took my lead and did the same thing. It rapidly devolved into a nerf war. Good times!!!

IT WASN'T BABY JESUS' CRIB!!The manger belonged to the Innkeeper. The imigrant family just decided to 'move on in' and start having children to steal the jobs from patriotic Bethlehemianzes. UNFAIRS!!1!!

If a zombie apocalypse can be held at bay with Nerf guns, everyone come to my house. The boy has enough to equip all of you, no matter how many show up.

Edit: I have also been reminded that Dart Zone is delivering the performance that Nerf is not. Higher fps at a lower cost; Dart Zone is now the industry leader. Foam dart guns are serious business.

Meanwhile, children stolen from their parents remain in cages. Merry Christmas.

We have one of those obnoxious projector lights that goes onto the garage. Low effort, takes 5 minutes to assemble, has an LED lamp so low power consumption, and looks pretty spiffy all things considered. The neighbors hate it. My work is done.

You know who else didn't get a Nerf gun for Christmas? Jesus. Also too, Hitler.

The picture of Douchey with his gaping pie hole, and Kilmeade with Quaalude eyes is THE BEST!

Same. He's the only grandkid on the Christmas shopping fanatic's side of the family. It gets bad.

Jesus is my anchor, yes.

One of my husband’s cousins posted that dumb Christmas light letter. It’s pretty clearly some troll posing as a caricature of a liberal. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the local Fox affiliate had an intern write and send the stupid thing.
