Sorry to take so long to show you what Shawn gave me (and Don) for Christmas.

He was so excited for me to open it and I assure you he was not disappointed.

I told him that I thought it was a really good choice. I pointed out to him that I loved Alien (As well as Aliens, after that I thought the whole franchise fell apart. Why can't they ever leave well enough alone?) And, I told him that I liked Predator as well.

Of course it was agreed that it was also appropriate for his viewing since it was PG13. And of course he showed me his favorite part of any DVD box.

The "Rating".

But more importantly why it has received that particular rating. Shawn read it to me with great pride,

PG-13

Violence, Language, (he kinda tried to skim past that one. The little stinker) Horror Images, Slime and Gore.

The last three descriptors, Horror, Slime, Gore, said with great emphasis.

It should be pointed out that Shawn loves those "off the beaten path" descriptive words the best.

Have I watched it yet?

No. I haven't.

I will though.

One day.

I'm pretty sure that as long as I'm willing to "share", that he won't really ever feel the need to check on whether I've actually ever watched it or not.

Thank you Mr Shawn.

Next time, I think I will have to point out to him how much I would like a DVD copy of "You've Got Mail".

So. How was your Christmas?
