[fail lock from Arthur]

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

Alright, it's opinion time, duckies. Christmas is right around the corner and the time for wracking one's mind for gift ideas is at hand, especially if you have any hope of getting something decent. Which is why I ask:

Would it be totally, completely, mind-bogglingly blasphemous to buy one's ever-luscious boyfriend a handgun for Christmas?

Because, on the one hand, giving weapons as gifts seems rather strange on day celebrating baby Jesus. On the other hand: Arthur likes guns.

And besides, I can see it now: a nice black semi-automatic with a pair of dice engraved on the side. Maybe wrapped with a bow on it.

Thoughts?

I don't see why it would be.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

Well, it seems slightly out of sync with the whole 'peace on earth, good will to man' spirit of things.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I don't think most people believe in that to begin with. At least, not the "peace on Earth" part.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't think anyone thinks it's actually happening, but you're supposed to attempt it personally, I guess.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I thought you were just supposed to get people what they would want.

Are you from a world that normally celebrates Christmas?

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

You are. Though certain gifts seem out-of-line with the holiday, I guess.

I am. I'm assuming you're not?

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I still don't see how it's anybody else's business.

You're assuming correctly.

Knowing Arthur, he'd love it. I think that's all that really matters, honestly.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

I think he will, too. Or, well, I hope he will. It'd be awkward to go to all the effort and then have him give me the stinkeye.

[archicheck.livejournal.com]

I think the only time Arthur gives the stinkeye to a gun is when it's pointed at him.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

True. The man does love his weapons. And his suits, but I don't trust myself to buy clothes for him.

[archicheck.livejournal.com]

You could wear a suit to surprise him, though.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

I might give him a heart attack. I'd rather not kill my beloved Arthur.

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Certainly a unique present.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

And certainly not one I would imagine anyone else buying for him, either.

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Good luck.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Especially since if he really truly hates it, I'll have handed him the ultimate method for revenge.

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Arthur would never shoot you with a present he'd just received. That would be gauche.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

True. He's much too well-mannered. If he wanted to kill me, he'd need to do it with something I didn't buy for him.

[notasinglelady]

Guns, really?

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

Really! Arthur likes guns.

[notasinglelady]

What would Freud say about that.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

He'd say it represented a penis and then talk about his mother a lot.

[notasinglelady]

All looked like a penis to him. I wonder why he never mentioned his father.

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

Probably he was too mad about his dad getting to sleep with his mom first. Poor crazy bastard.
