I told my wife I wanted a true first edition of 'Salem's Lot, the one with the $8.95 price on the dust jacket. After spending a little bit of time looking into it, she was not amused. 
Are you asking for anything Stephen King related at Christmas?

Just a few movies on DVD that I don't have yet-- Langoliers, Thinner, Sometimes They Come Back, etc.....
Yes, I do hate myself.

Moi aussi (or ditto). I have to wait until Andy gets back from up North so this is one thing he can buy for me, along with some of those fizzy bath bombs from Lush.
Then after I read it I can finally look at all the posts on the board about it!
My sentiments exactly. I've asked my daughter to get it for me, and it's the only reason Christmas coming has dragged.
Love the French term "Moi aussi" . When we were being taught French back in the day I had a good friend whose nickname was Aussie (Richard Austerfield). It just reminds me of him everytime I hear. Unfortunately he died in a motorbike crash a long time ago.
Thank you. But with my luck, as soon as it’s installed I’d drink the bottle in celebration of a win against government over-regulations, stumble and fall off the thing, hit my head and die in a moment of bliss. But it would be worth it!
I do believe you and I were separated at birth!
I was thinking of asking for the heart of a small boy that I could keep on my desk in a jar, but I am not sure where one could legally and ethically obtain such an item.
Here's an idea:
a small jar like this picture with a candy or felt heart, and on the outside paste a paper with SK words.

LOL, that might be a tad problematic. As an alternative, you can always go to a T-Shirt place and get them to make you up something like this... for next to nothing.
I think SK borrowed that quote from another. Probably wrong though.....
He did... hey M? This one probably qualifies for a spot in the FAQ's by now.
...gee, I know he's a little cash-strapped...but maybe he can squeak it out for your sake...I mean what's 10 bucks between Boss and Mod?....My only Stephen King related Christmas request is my annual year-end bonus.
I seem to remember it being explained here on the board, but can't for the life of me remember where......
...as I do every year...a kitchen tour has topped my wish list...and I know Marsha...it's gonna be there a long time....dammit!....
...Robert Bloch is who I THINK he adopted it from....
Like anyone ever bothers to read the FAQ.
- People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy... It is in a glass jar on my desk.
- Originally said by Robert Bloch, as King has mentioned when quoting it
- Robert Albert Bloch (/blɑːk/; April 5, 1917 – September 23, 1994) was a prolific American fiction writer, primarily of crime,horror, fantasy and science fiction, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is best known as the writer of Psycho, the basis for thefilm of the same name by Alfred Hitchcock. He wrote that "Despite my ghoulish reputation, I really have the heart of a small boy. I keep it in a jar on my desk," (a quote borrowed by Stephen King and often misattributed to him).[2] His fondness for apun is evident in the titles of his story collections such as Tales in a Jugular Vein, Such Stuff as Screams Are Made Of andOut of the Mouths of Graves.
...we have those?????...
