Jingle BAAG Jingle BAAG*
Dashing through the snow Any way we can, To the Mall we go To the gamers den New releases glow, make our spirit bright What fun it is to play the newest game tonight. We got the BAAG we got the BAAG got it all the way Oh what fun it is to open a new boxed game today
Now the ground is white No mowing the lawn Leave the chores undone And sing a BAAG-ing song. The computer is up To three-fourth of its speed, All scanned and defragd We slide in our CDs We got the BAAG we got the BAAG got it all the way. O what fun it is to open a new boxed game today.
But this is not enough To the Trading Post we go Hoping to tag and snag And spend a little dough We will buy the lot, new and old alike What fun it is to play an old DOS game tonight. We got the BAAG we got the BAAG got it all the way. O what fun it is to open a new boxed game today.
The gate is off its hinges The stove is going cold The iron leaves big singes The dust is getting bold. The computer a humming Booting up to speed. All scanned and defragd Ready for games on DVDs We got the BAAG we got the BAAG got it all the way Oh what fun it is to open a new boxed game today
Bob’s crayons are working Making all a glow GameBoomers are lurking Among the mistletoe Syd's poem a counting All out gaming deeds She tells if we are good or bad And who is in need of a bigger sack Because we all got the BAAG got it all the way O what fun it is to open a new boxed game today
We want to thank thee Jenny and MacDee Witchen and Gatorlaw Stitchman and Pandora Zanthia, Jenny100 and MaG All who help us in a snag They all share this constant craving We thank Bob and Karen for caring Because we all got the BAAG got it all the way O what fun it is to be a GameBoomer I say
Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to All
From lasanidine
*BAAG coined by Syd stands for “Buy All Adventure Games”

Great stuff. You hit the nail on the head! I just bought myself an 80GB hard drive to replace my old 20 GB HD (19GB filled) for...for...Xmas? No, for no good reason at all except now I can do 1GB game installs without worry! But my local Electronic Boutique rarely has adventure games (got Cameron Files 2 at CompUSA) and that is SOOOO disappointing. Thank goodness for internet shopping (except for shipping charges and that drated PayPal wanting my bank account number - no way!). Merry gaming! <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" />

*sniff* this is a beautiful vision - all those gleeful GBers dashing through the stores.
What a great poetic tribute to our favorite past time <img border="0" alt="[kiss]" title="" src="graemlins/kiss.gif" />

Thank you all.
Howard the Doc, you think you have too much MB?
I have one 80GB master hard drive and just put in a 40 gB slave. My husband asked me why I needed so much storage, he is not a gamer so how could I explain? I just gave him the "look". LOL

Lasanidine - Not "The Look"!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God. But we must protect our toys. You wrote MB when I know you meant GB. A little reminisence here: In the mid-80's I added a 240 MB (and I mean MB) hard drive to my Amiga 500 and boosted the CPU to 40 Mhz!! And all for only $1000. Those were the days!
