Broken Promises, computers, and stuff.

Middle first, this time! My computer is broken, YAAAY! I told my friends that I saw the magic smoke come out and everything... I lied. I didn't see it, I am a bastage. Sorry, friends! (Since I am unable to log on any 'meaningful' or 'important' computer services, they cant beat me up.) Also, I am sorry, folks, all of you came to my website for the mailto:!@#$%^&*, and I promised you a lolcat. But there WAS no lolcat, I have addressed this in a very Chinese fisherman way. Here, is, lolcats! You may now see them on a daily basis, they even have an RSS feed! Here is the one I was going to give you. I am sorry. And, now for the stuff part of the post. Winterveil gifts were lame. Here is my problem, we knew about the Crashin' Thrashin' Racer since beta, when we first saw the winter veil achievements. Part of gifts are the surprise! Aside from the racer, there were 5 other gifts you could get. They were;

• Carefully Wrapped Present, gave Winter Veil Cookies.
• Gently Shaken Gift, gave either food or drink.
• Festive Gift, gave Wand of Holiday Cheer to annoy everyone, thankfully, it only lasts 10 days.
• Gaily Wrapped Present, gave one of these; Green Helper Box, Red Helper Box, Snowman Kit, or Jingling Bell. (I got the bell.)
• Ticking Present : mainly gives a Mechanical Greench, but some people got Preserved Holly. In previous years, this gift had a small chance to give a recipe for something festive, although sometimes that was a stretch. I cannot confirm it was the same this year (I got the Greench.)

So, the only thing that you could have gotten that will last, other than a Racer, is one of 4 pets, which are the same pets as before. Outside the racer, there was no change from last year at all!

Am I just a scrooge?
