There appears to be mroe family tension than everyone is willing to admit. Dmil, explain the thought process behind opening your nephew's Christmas gifts as a grown man.
And cutting the cable? Seriously what adult "feuds" with a ten year old where he breaks into houses to cut cable and ruin Christmas. What a cheek.

Simply disconnected the cable line - not cut - as the latest in a long line of pranks back and forth between the houses. Some others included - hiding a blow up lawn decoration in opposing in law's guest bedroom with timer set to 3am(foiled), filling car with boxing peanuts(not foiled), killing house power 10 seconds before New Year's during house party - etc. No one invites a good prank like 1188's old man, but none of us are safe really. Sometimes you hit, sometime you take a hit. Simple as that. 1188 was a famous ball buster in his youth - which is all fine - but he's never done it without knowing there is always a retaliation in store.

He was a heckler in his youth, so he took a few shots as a result. Now he has resorted to turning the tables on my kids at times. And some day, my kids will be all over his kids. 11188's old man is a great guy. Nova guy. Can't recall how it started - it's been going on in some form since the mid 60's among original siblings - before my time really. A couple other good ones - riser bed rigged to collapse, smoke bombs in the outdoor shower, framings, lot of water based hijinx etc.

"original siblings"? Explain. Are you a Miller-in-law?
How was NN1188 a heckler? Describe some of his actions that got his Christmas ruined.
Honestly can't believe there is this much interest. I assumed every family did this kinda stuff. Hard to ruin Christmas in our family, such a great time with some wacky traditions. It's not unusual for large arguments to break out about mayor diblasio or references to the puffy shirt episode of Seinfeld.
I'm ending my half of discussions because it's probably getting too personal. A99 can continue if he likes.

Nodding... Only current rift is I didn't show up to family plans on Memorial Day (everyone knew of this a week ahead of time). While this is obviously a huge deal, I suspect members will get over it.

Very fishy. Lots of information being withheld here. What presents did DMill open? Sega Genesis? Ghostbusters action figures?
Our family was a SNES/N64 family, but we were only allowed to play video games during the summer and on school vacations (Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter). Think this was a good rule, prevented us from becoming video game nerds -- but also allows us to speak about some classics (Earthbound, Zelda, M64, Golden Eye, etc...).
One gift that stands out was Boy Meets World Seasons 2-3 on DVD. I guess that was Christmas 2002ish, maybe later. Still love that show.

Santa visits on Christmas eve for the little ones. Hands out a little gift or two as a warm up. 1188 was about 12 Miller Lites in when he intercepted my 5 year old's present from Santa and opened it. A little while later, someone, we're not sure who, went to their house and opened a small gift - that Boy Meets World DVD collection. I would call it a break it but apparently the front door was left unlocked. I have been accused of this crime but the evidence is flimsy and underwhelming. Literally no proof I was anywhere near the place.

A 14 year old was 12 miller lites deep? Is there a family standard for agressive under-age drinking?
Pretty sure A99 is mixing up stories here. He's definitely referring to another Christmas event circa 2007ish. Not denying that I've over indulged around holidays, but certainly not before I was 18-19.

Gonna throw this out there. I'm a little bitter about your email responses in Pittsburgh day of NC State. I think you created some pretty sh*tty karma for that day by ducking me.
Obviously I'm still not over that game.
I didn't duck you but I don't wait around for people. You gotta move man. When I'm hanging with a bunch of guys we aren't going to sit around waiting for people. We're moving.
Just own it. I don't feel like going back through the emails because that game sucked so bad. Must've been 4 bars that you told me to go to with my buddies and then weren't there when we showed up soon after (and reported back that we were en route). Gimme a break.
Have to imagine if you stuck around Red Beards or Fairmont after leaving the Renaissance Ennis would've hit that 3.

You don't know me or my buddies. We hit 20 bars over the course of 3 days. That's exactly what we did. Trust me, I would never have ducked you. Would have just said forget it. We had a beer or two in a number of places. My buddies aren't waiting around either. Liz Reed knows them and can confirm they are nuttier and more inpatient than me. Only place we stayed for long was when we went back to see the team return (post NC State) and then stayed there for a few hours before hitting the casino.

I wish I could tell you that Ugueth fought the good fight, and the Venezuelan sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that. On the bright side though, hard to believe he only served a couple years for using a machete and trying to light a bunch of people on fire. Probably living on a nice property in Venezuela taking in local baseball games and is a local celebrity.
Still taking questions since I'm expecting today to be a slow day at work and on BW. Might be playing racquetball at lunch, but other than that I should be around.

What is your suit size? How many do you own?
How many pairs of shoes do you own? What is the breakdown of sneakers/casual/dress?
Is it appropriate for a grown man to wear sandals anywhere besides the beach/pool or a communal shower?
Even if the Mets don't win anything these next couple years, will you take satisfaction in the fact that they are better than the Phillies?
More rushing yards this season - DeMarco Murray or all the RBs on the Cowboys combined?
Music at the gym? If yes, what do you listen to?
Who complains more, nurses or teachers?
