FORUM EVENT: "I-MOCKERY'S 2009 SECRET SANTA EVENT!"

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I Louvre Cabin Fever. Especially the part at the end with the shopkeeper. Everyone in the theater was gasping really bad but I was cracking up.

[BatmanJohnson]

Sequel is due out some time next year. Don't think it will be near as good though.

[Sam]

DREAMS IN THE WITCH-HOUSE IS FUCKING AWESOME BTW >:

[Microshock]

Goddamn it Microshock, post those pictures already you lazy SOB >:

I'll make no guarantees! But it will be before December 22nd :)

I want to watch some of the movies and maybe do some mini reviews

[The Leader]

Oh God.

[Tadao]

Captain should have taken pictures of it before he sent it out and ruined his gay little plan.

[captain516]

What can I say? I didn't think ahead.

[Tadao]

It's ok, I think he understands that he is alone on this and that he is ruining it for everyone. But hey, what did we really expect? A lot of people didn't play this year cause we knew he would ruin it.

I know you got him good stuff Captain regardless of the outcome. You are a stand up guy and I applaud you.

[Microshock]

What the fuck are you half brained dipshits talking about? I don't want to post a story this year, because it seems no one is, so ill take some pictures and post 1 or 2 sentences about the movies he sent me.

I have a deadline to when I have to post the pictures, and it will be before then.

I know you all want to suck my dicks, just make a line and i'll address you appropriately, no skipping.

[Tadao]

No no, go ahead with your "mini reviews". I'm sure we will all love it!

[BatmanJohnson]

Someone is up past his bedtime and is cranky.

[Microshock]

You're not first in line! You're at least 3rd or 4th! Get back in there :)

[Zomboid]

Cabin Fever, Dreams in the Witch House, and Demon Seed are all great. You inadvertently got awesome movies.

PS - Thanks for ruining this thing two years in a row, Microshock.

[The Leader]

Microshock, you've had the stuff for a week now. Did you ever stop to think that maybe captain516 would like everyone to see what he sent you?

That and reviewing a gift that someone sent you seems a little rude but idk.

[Microshock]

Oh my poor conscience, it can't take it, it just can't! How dare I not post the pictures as soon as I get the stuff!

*Sniff sniff* I'm hurting everyone in the community by not appealing to them, aww.

[The Leader]

What a prick.

[Microshock]

Mmmm, delicious sounds of tears falling to the ground. Yeah I know Captain wants me to post pictures, and I will, just not immediately, and that's not to say it'll be 3 minutes before the deadline. I'll do it soon.


Edit: Captain, the stuff is pretty good, i just want to take time to look thru some of the gifts, kay?

[Tadao]

Hey Poppers, I'm sorry you had a family emergency. Thank you for posting as soon as you could. You are a shining example of consideration. I applaud you.

[Microshock]

Poppers, sorry about your family emergency, and congratulations on posting the pictures as soon as possible.

Me on the other hand, did not have an emergency, and took some extra time to post pictures, poor me. I have let down the whole community here on I-mockery, the horror.

Also, if I really did single handedly stop all those people from joining the secret santa this year, then good, ill add it to my book of achievements.

[Zomboid]

Don't you mean trophies, you rabid fanboy?

[Chojin]

I have let down the whole community here on I-mockery, the horror.

i, too, join community events for communities that i hate

[Microshock]

i, too, join community events for communities that i hate

I'm glad you enjoy what I do :)

Captain, i'll get those pictures up by this Friday, i understand you're anxious

[Tadao]

It's like you told Captain that there is no Santa. What a great thing to do.

[The Leader]

there is no Santa.
What? :(

[Zhukov]

Don't you mean trophies, you rabid fanboy?

:lol



Oh guys, come on. Give the poor fool a little bit of a chance. It's Christmas, after all.

[Pentegarn]

I know you all want to suck my dicks, just make a line and i'll address you appropriately, no skipping.

You have more then one?:confused:


On a related note, my box came yesterday, but my GF has the camera so I will be waiting till Thursday evening or Friday to post pics because that's the next time I will see her. I refuse to even open said box until the pictures are being taken because I would like to get more real reactions. Also I wanted to do it in story form and I will need her help on that too as she is admittedly better than me at picture taking :)

Also Batman, I was going to do a "need a festive shirt" costume change gag and you beat me to it damn you :lol I probably still will, but now I need to give you credit lest I look like a ripoff artist :P

[stonewar]

Due to the rampant immaturity shall we be paired by mental age next year?

[Pentegarn]

We all are mentally 3 anyway, so we already were :lol

[BatmanJohnson]

Lol I thought the shirt would be a nice touch. That and I had to show off my new Krampus shirt!

[stevetothepast]

Also, if I really did single handedly stop all those people from joining the secret santa this year, then good, ill add it to my book of achievements.

Don't you mean trophies, you rabid fanboy?


hehehe

[poppers620]

Hey Poppers, I'm sorry you had a family emergency. Thank you for posting as soon as you could. You are a shining example of consideration. I applaud you.

thanks :)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just got back from the post office and got my secret santa package from Kakumei :)

and a T-Rex that's eyes light up and makes a dino noise which scared the hell out of me in my car before I opened the package.




http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/secret%20santa%20two%20thousand%20nine/DSCN0361.jpg

Happy holidays everyone. Just for the record if anyone is counting thats two secret santas I was able to post records of. Bah Humbug Mircroshock.

[Tadao]

That's awesome!

[kakumei]

i'm glad you liked your present, 10,000 volt ghost-- it's super exciting that the blind simpsons toy ended up being zombie bart. that is still totally on the zombie theme. sorry about the super lame packing material-- it's actually 3/4 of a chicago map that i carry around in my purse. i was going to grab a newspaper from outside, but i was already in line at the post office, and i didn't want to lose my spot. unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough packaging to keep the t-rex from jostling about-- it kept roaring while i was taping the box up. i guess t-rex hates traveling, but really who can blame him?

anyway, my secret santa was 10,000 volt ghost, amusingly enough. to get into the holiday mood, i put on my christmas socks and poured myself a glass of egg nog before opening my present.

http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/9185/holiday09007.jpg

say what?! how did he know that i wear t-shirts? it's a little big on me, but i can totally wear it as a dress around my apartment.

http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2244/holiday09009.jpg

a copy of "the life aquatic" on DVD and "invisible monsters" by chuck palahniuk! i had to keep an eye on the invisible monsters, lest they run off while i wasn't looking.

wrapped up inside the domo shirt was probably the best part of the present. at first, i thought it was a human head, but then i discovered that it was even better than that...

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/6776/holiday09011x.jpg

a WTF snowglobe! the real WTF moment came though when i looked at the underside of the snowglobe:

http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4305/holiday09012a.jpg

it's from urban outfitters! somehow, i have a hard time believing that the type of people who frequent i-mockery would also frequent urban outfitters. not that we're not all super fashion savvy...
of course, as soon as i unpacked the snowglobe, my cat (waffle) decided it was hers and promptly rubbed her face on it before curling up around it and falling asleep, purring.

so thanks, 10,000 volt ghost-- this has been an awesome event, and i can't wait until next year's secret santa!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I pulled an M Night Shylaman twist. I'm glad you liked them. I made a video of the T-Rex but it didn't transfer over to my pc so great.

[kakumei]

aww, sad day! admittedly, the t-rex came from a dollar store (i was looking for some kind of filler items, but in the end it was the only thing that i purchased from a dollar store), but light up eyes and roaring action? who could resist?

[MarioRPG]

That t-shirt is amazing. I think I'll pick one up myself after Christmas.

PS Pichas tomorrow.

[BatmanJohnson]

Invisible Monsters is an incredible book. Awesome Presents, Ghost is a good gift giver.

[Nick]

I find Microshock's behavior horrible. I couldn't wait to show off my gifts, they were great, but he is just being plain rude to not post pictures of whatever awesome gifts captain gave him. :(

[BatmanJohnson]

From reading past Secret Santa threads, I'm frankly not surprised. This seems to be common for him.

[kakumei]

Invisible Monsters is an incredible book. Awesome Presents, Ghost is a good gift giver.

agreed. by the way, your story to accompany your photos was totally awesome-- i'm sad i couldn't come up with anything nearly as awesome.

[BatmanJohnson]

I made the story up as I went along. I had fun with it.

[dextire]

Sorry for the delay on the self imposed deadline for posting pictures. I was planning on just doing pictures, no story. Then when I read the Secret Santa letter from MarioRPG, I enjoyed it immensely, and then something just clicked. So, I decided to do a story based on it. And a lot more work later, it's finally done. I'll be playing the role of the douche millionaire Baxter Remington (minus the millionaire part and change the name to Dextire).

Enjoy!

"How I Became An Official I-Mockery Forum Member™"
by dextire

Merry Christmas! I got a package from MarioRPG!
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta1.jpg
And he sent it all the way from Merry Ole London, Canada!
I wonder if it'll be fish and chips? Or maybe bangers and mash? Ho Ho Ho.
Let's open it and see!

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/Letter.jpg
Oh look, there's a 3-page letter!
Let's take a gander.

“Dextire,
Firstly, I must express what a Grade-A JERK you are.”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta2.jpg
Grade-A, huh? Can't do better than that, baby.

“I mean, you join up from outta nowhere and just DEMAND gifts.
So, here I am, stuck with someone that I can not possibly think of a gift for.”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta3.jpg
You know, you're not sounding very British.
Blimey! Get with the program, Govnuh!

“And THEN... you buy Stonewar a boat-load of gifts.”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta4.jpg
Well... maybe a very small boat, like a model or something.
What's your point?

“So the wheels in my head start turning.
I think I can shape you into a bonafide I-Mockery Forum Member™
that will be universally LOVED!”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta5.jpg
Yes! Shape me, wise master!
I am new, and know not the ways of the old I-Mockery Forum vets.
Teach me your wise old, dusty, funky smelling ways.

“But how can I do that?”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta6.jpg
I have no idea! I've never taught anything.
I mean, unless you count that one time I taught a squirrel how to eat a walnut,
but my mom said it already knew how to do that.

Besides, you said that YOU would “shape” ME, like you knew what you were talking about!
So, how are you going to do that, guy who is not sounding very much like he's from London?

“With gifts (of $25 value) of course!”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta7.jpg
Of course! Free gifts for me!
Teach me old wise one, who smells vaguely of cheese, and Bengay.

“So there are some things you gotta know: Movies.
Horrific Movies. So I went out and got you some to help you on your way.
Don't wet yourself in Fright!”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta8.jpg
I've already wet myself several times just looking at that cover,
so I should be good to go.

“Next up, everyone needs to own something that's been on I-Mockery,
and I ain't talkin' no Pickle Hat, either. So BAM!
Second gift right there. Another cinema classic.”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta9.jpg
I now feel as tough as 1986 would allow me to be.

“Oh, and we all f*ckin Love Christmas, so it's a good thing you didn't mess up.”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta10.jpg
So... you're saying I didn't mess up?
Wait, it's not Christmas yet. There's still time!

“And BAM! Third gift: Christmas Lovin'.
I took a few peeks at that one, and I'm pretty confident it'll be solid gold.”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta11.jpg
No kidding! The guy in the story's name is Baxter Remington.
BAXTER REMINGTON. Best douche millionaire name EVER!

“And another thing, we're pretty much from all over the World. I see you're from the 'states.
That means I can get you something distinctly Canadian!”

Beer?

“Then you can go on bragging that you are not racist / sexist / country-ist
because you've got a pal up in the Great White North.
Oh, and the gift isn't beer, you racist.”

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta12.jpg
Really... I'm the racist, mister pretending that you're from London?
I think not.

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta13.jpg
Wow! That's definitely not beer.

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta14.jpg
That's the good stuff!

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta15.jpg
Smooth.

“Anyhoo, I'm gonna sign-off here. If I give you any other gifts they are bonuses.”

Look, I know you're rich and all, but calling the bubble wrap a “bonus” is just mean.
That was the majority of the gifts I gave to Stonewar.
And she said she liked them!
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta16.jpg
Meanie.

“Merry Christmas,
MarioRPG

P.S. We won't HATE you if you disappear after the Secret Santa.”

Disappear? That's silly, why would I... wait.
What was in that syrup?!
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta17.jpg
Oh, crap.

So, if I've read your letter correctly, and I think I have,
after all I'm well read in all the latest fine literature.
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta18.jpg
Baxter Remington. So awesome.

In order for me to be a proper I-Mockery Forum Member™: I have to be a racist / sexist / country-ist jerk.
Who regularly wets himself (on purpose, not out of fright). A raging alcoholic, fueled completely on syrup.
And be completely obsessed with 80s cinema, toys, and of course, Baxter Remington.

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Secret%20Santa%202009/SecretSanta19.jpg
Got it.

The End.


Thank you so much, MarioRPG! My gifts are awesome!
I laughed for a solid 5 minutes when I saw that book.
And I had to explain it to my friends and family, since I opened it on my birthday. :)

Hope you guys liked the story.
It was a ton of fun for me to put together.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

[Ozzie]

Holy hell, I think I missed a golden opportunity not sending poppers a romance novel along with the horror flicks. Looks like Dextire isn't the only person MarioRPG needs to shape around here.

[Pentegarn]

Damn Dextire, nice work on that story. :)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol Dextire, you're allllll right.

[Zhukov]

:lol That was awesome.

[Mockery]

:lol Excellent! You even put a match in your mouth for the Cobra shot. Gotta love attention to detail like that...

You guys really are doing a great job with the Secret Santa event this year! Great gifts and recaps so far!

[stonewar]

We all are mentally 3 anyway, so we already were :lol

excuse me. I'm 8 at the very least

[dextire]

Thanks, guys! It was really fun to ham it up. :)

[MarioRPG]

Dextire, I'm sure you will have no problems fitting in here at I-Mockery. That picture of you as Cobra is amazing :lol Glad you enjoyed the swag, and bubble wrap is a legitimate gift.

But wait, this just in:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/speedyboris/movementarians.jpg
We LOVE The Leader! :love
(in a spoiler because my pictures didn't get shrunk as much as they normally do)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss01-1.png
He sent me a big box of Christmas fun and excitement! (And it was also a lot to ship :x) But it has cute drawings on it which make it all worth while. :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss02.png
He even took things a step further and had things inside wrapped! It was sort of like gifts within gifts!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss03.png
First up, a mug! It's actually pretty big, so it's not just a mug.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss04.png
What could be within?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss05.png
Three types of tea! Assuming for my mug. And in an assortment of fine Christmas flavours. (I've since tried them, they are great and I don't regularly drink tea)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss06.png
Card!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss07.png
Back of card with text. This fine message definitely warmed my heart.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss08.png
Next up: The Simpsons movie DVD set thing! With a complimentary T-Shirt - as well as written instructions from The Leader telling me his humorous anecdotes.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss09.png
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss10.png
Also received two monsters to build. I've only built the mummy so far, but I plan to play god and make an abomination of the two if I can.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss11.png
The Mummy shows off Maple Sugar Spoons - which according to folklore is a well-known favourite of theirs.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss12.png
The Mummy shows off its drunken style fighting - which according to folklore is a well-known Egyptian method.
PS I was so pumped when I saw this. I haven't seen it in years and love the movie :rock This would have been plenty of gifts but there were still more!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss13.png
A Twilight Zone comic from the late 70's. It's easy to read and suspenseful!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss14.png
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss16.png

An awesome array of graphic novels. Allow me to point out that it does have some sort of Batman Vs Alien series in its entirety. Which will be the first to be read, then treasured, and possibly framed.
Also, I'm a Batman fan when it comes to heroes, so great job Leader! You rock :domo

Also, in the future: T-Shirts will come in donuts.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss19.png

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss21.png
Yes, the shirt is huge on me - the way it's printed leads me to believe it requires a Homer Simpson belly, there's nothing from the neck to about halfway down.

So that brings it to a close.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss17.png
The whole bundle.

Merry Christmas and Happy Secret Santa event I-Mockery, from MarioRPG and the head of David!


Bonus: Pictures I didn't use.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Soda_Popskinski/Secret%20Santa/2009%20-%20The%20Leader/ss15.png
Silliness!

Can YOU use ham-radio in a sentence?

[dextire]

Now that's a haul! Way to go, MarioRPG. Overkill much, Leader? :)
That has to be the most wrinkled-up shirt I've ever seen.

And the awesome gifts ham-radio just keeps a blaring.

[Fathom Zero]

Never wash the crumply shirt.

[The Leader]

I'm glad you enjoyed the goodies MarioRPG! I put plastic wrap over the adress/picture paper thing, so if you want to frame it you can just take the tape off. It will probably be worth something one day. ;/

[Babs]

The Leader is truly the best

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

NUNNA NUNNA NUNNA NUNNA NUNNA NUNNA NUNNA NUNNA

.

.

.

[captain516]

The Leader is truly the best

That's why he's leader.

[Microshock]

Ok, as soon as I get access to the camera (today or tomorrow), I'll post pictures of all the stuff.

[Zomboid]

:rolleyes

[Zomboid]

Oh, forgot to mention. I don't have my gift yet either, but I'm cool with that. I pretty much always get mine late, and I'm not back where it's being mailed to yet anyway.

[Zhukov]

Well the parcel sent to me has to go through about three quarantines, and it's also a long way to go, especially if they take the cheap route and send it via a boat or something. I am also cool.

[Babs]

I haven't got mine yet but I'm very patient.

[BatmanJohnson]

Well played Ghost, Well Played, I just realized what you did.

[DonkeyRyan]

I am also still waiting for my gift. Everyday I think that it's going to be the day...

I'm sure that it will come soon.

[Pentegarn]

excuse me. I'm 8 at the very least

You shouldn't have told me that, now I am going to ask you for advice because you are a more mature role model. Expect thousands of PMs asking what I should do to avoid cooties, and why am I getting hair where there was no hair before.


EDIT: GF is on her way over with the camera as we speak, so I should have pics posted by the days end at the latest barring any unforeseen issues (though I do have a plan B should the camera have issues)

[Pentegarn]

OK, I finally got things ready to go (Sorry for it taking 3 days)

Here's how it all went down...

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic1.jpg

I was having a normal day when I suddenly noticed I received a package in the mail. "Zounds!" I said, because I apparently talk like that now.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic2.jpg

"A package from Australia! I hope it is boomerangs and didgeridoos! I loves me some didgeridoos!" Then I realized it must be from my Secret Santa.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic3.jpg

The first thing I discovered is the Australian PS does not tag spoilers.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic4.jpg

So according to this book that I think BatmanJohnson wrote (his name is on it after all) I should wear festive livery while opening yuletide packages!

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic6.jpg

Now we're cooking with oil! Time to open this box!

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic7.jpg

Ah a card from Zhukov (that solves the mystery of my Secret Santa) with Australian animals on it. This shows promise, until I receive some startling news....

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic8.jpg

Christmas has been canceled!!! Bummer. But I did get permission to celebrate May Day early. So I have that going for me, which is nice.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic9.jpg

A Mario hat! Now I too can look like my favorite plumber! I donned the hat and jumped triumphantly into the air but...

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic91.jpg

I hit my head on the ceiling and knocked myself silly(er) Those hats need to come with warning labels.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic92.jpg

AH-HA! It takes more than a hat to be like Mario, it takes his paunch too, which must be why Zhukov sent me this delicious assortment of candy cookies and chocolate! I proceeded to devour the entire thing but...

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic93and95.jpg

I forgot eating too much candy can cause you stomach cramps.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic96.jpg

No time for that, I had a package of Ghostbusters collectible cards with bubblegum to open. That will make me feel better. Well it would have except....

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic93and95.jpg

I chewed the gum

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic97.jpg

Literature! This will keep me from giving myself stomach cramps and massive head trauma! At last things were going my way. Not only was this a macho graphic novel filled with pictures that someone like me who can't read well can enjoy, but it is guaranteed to not lead to any injury!

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic981.jpg

Hand made hand painted Tasmanian soldiers. We all know how rough and tumble the Australian military is.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic98.jpg

A manly gift if ever there was one. Maybe too manly though because....

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Pentegarn/Pic93and95.jpg

They beat the piss out of me and stole my macho graphic novel!


Thanks for the great stuff Zhukov! Merry May Day!

[executioneer]

my s. santa outgoing package's tracking info hasn't changed since the 11th, i think something may be wrong :(

[BatmanJohnson]

Nice story, Love the mention. Yorkie Bars are so good, and they're not for Girls.

[dextire]

Pentegarn, I have no idea why looking at you lying on the floor is so funny, but it is. Nice job! :)

That's quite the mighty haul you gave there, Zhukov!
Out of all of the nasty sounding candies I've tried, Sour Cola Zombie Chews are the best.

[Pentegarn]

Thanks

My GF noticed the Sour Cola Zombie Chews before any other candy

EDIT: Wow I just noticed my birthmark really sticks out in the picture in question. That is NOT blood or a burn (he answered preemptively)

[kakumei]

nice story, pentegarn! i hope you ate that yorkie bar yourself, since they are totally not for girls, as batmanjohnson mentioned.

[Babs]

THATS WHAT PENTAGRAN LOOKS LIEK

ASL

ps. GO BUCKEYES!!!

[BatmanJohnson]

I sneak my Girlfriend a Yorkie bar every now and then. Please don't tell.

[Womti]

Sign-ups closed a while ago, so unless there's another person who is late to the game who would like to do a gift exchange with you, I'm afraid you're outta luck this year, Sherlock.

yeah well I'm sorry but I was in the mental hospital again and due to that I already missed having a real thanksgiving with my family. so if I dont get to sign up then I'm not getting any presents this year either. and did i mention that this whole mental hospital crisis made me miss my fucking birthday aswell

[Zhukov]

Ha ha that's great Sherlock.

Anyway. Glad you liked the stuff Pentegarn. :) You were pretty close to getting a few more chocolate bars, but I ate them.

[Pentegarn]

It's a good thing you did, or else I would have had to add a couple more pics of me lying on the floor from eating more candy :P

[captain516]

I finally got to watch a few episodes of He-man, and they're pretty amusing. Some of the ideas could've been cool if they took it further instead of dumbing it down.

[Zomboid]

Willie destroyed everyone else in gift-giving. I'll post pictures when I'm not hungover. Aaaaawwwwwesome stuff, Willie!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Getting close to deadlines. Can anyone who has not received their gifts PM me. Also for some reason if you have not SENT your gift I guess PM me too.

[executioneer]

Willie destroyed everyone else in gift-giving. I'll post pictures when I'm not hungover. Aaaaawwwwwesome stuff, Willie!
i was worried they got hung up in customs because of crime :(

[Sam]

I have yet to receive any gifts. :posh

[executioneer]

hahah you'll get one don't worry ;(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I sent you a 20% coupon to Bed Bath and Beyond. Did you get it yet?

[Babs]

GIVE ME MY FUCKING GIFT NOW NAZI

[dextire]

So I did a little detective work, (meaning I went back and looked through the thread ;)) and here is how the Secret Santa event stands as of right now.

Participants who have yet to receive a SS package:
Babality Pancakes
Zhukov
DonkeyRyan

Participants who have yet to have a SS package received:
Nick - Shipped on the 11th.
Lumpisan - Shipped on the 13th.
Microshock - Said he was going to ship on the 7th or 8th, never confirmed.

Participants who have received a SS package and have not yet posted photos:
Zomboid - Recieved on the 19th.
Microshock - Received on the 7th.

Odd man out:
MrSmiley381 is still listed as a participant, but has not posted once in this thread, and no one has received a package from him.
(I'm guessing he doesn't actually belong on the list?)

So, excluding MrSmiley381, we have 3 people who have yet to receive a gift, and 3 people who have shipped late.
Which means, *knocking on wood, while crossing fingers, and holding lucky Madball* everyone who participated this year should get a gift! :)

[MrSmiley381]

I suppose I should jump in and clarify my standing. I did not make a post in the thread, but I did PM 10,000 Volt Ghost because I had some questions about where I should have my Secret Santa send my gift. My gift, however, did come Friday. Right now, we're trying to figure out why my package has not yet reached my Secret Santa.

I'll have photos up tomorrow most likely. I'm actually going to be sad if my Secret Santa doesn't get his package.

[dextire]

Hmm... that's strange. That would make an even 20 participants by my count.
I wonder why 10,000 Volt Ghost paired himself up with 2 Secret Santas, if we had an even number of people?

Oh, well. I'm sure he will figure it out.

[bigtimecow]

STILL WAITING ON MY GIFT FROM LAST YEAR GUYS :bitter

[Babs]

Dextire, thanks for working out all the confusion, kudos.

[captain516]

yeah dextire if i get you next year I'll send you something awesome

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

OF FUCK. I'M SO DRUNK. PEOPLE SHOULD JUST PM ME FOR REALS. MRSMILEY3SOMETHING OR OTHER IS ACTUALY GOOD. FOR REALS TNOUGH, PM ME IF YOUN HAVEB'T RECEIVED YOUR GIBFT. DRUNK IS NO GOOD.

[Zomboid]

Aight, braws!

Yesterday, after an hour of sleep, I left my place in the city and made the long, hungover journey to my mom's house for the holidays. Immediately after getting home, I was told that something was waiting for me at the post office.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00766.jpg

I don't do wacky facial expressions, so wait for Microshock's pictures for that.
Anyway, I opened it up and was very pleasantly surprised to see A WHOLE MESS OF COOL STUFF.

First off: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00767.jpg
I smoke, and I pretty much immediately opened that pack because I lost my fifth or sixth lighter this month. That's just useful. Plus, they're the cool lighters that allow you to do this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00769.jpg
Yeah, it looks like it's firing off a kamehameha. Evidently, they were intended to go with more pyro fun.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00780.jpg
There's a disclaimer at the bottom telling me NOT to use it for arsons, but by the time I took the picture, I'd already tried to do just that. Unfortunately, it's way too cold outside for it to work right now :(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00770.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00771.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00773.jpg
Yes, friends. I got four bags of emoticon cookies. Are they delicious as well as emotional? Yes, they are indeed. I just had one of the angry faces. Twas good!

This next thing proves that Willie went above and beyond, leaving everyone else looking cheap by comparison. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00774.jpg
Yeah, that's a fucking Dreamcast.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00776.jpg
A dreamcast that came with Quake 3 arena -- which just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite FPS games. Seriously, I played the hell out of that when it came out :(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00777.jpg
It also came with two controllers!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00778.jpg
One of which had the badass VMU accessory. If I remember correctly, it's like a handheld gaming thing/memory card that somehow interacts with certain games.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00779.jpg
And emulators/roms! In his letter (not pictured) Willie specifically mentioned that he tested both Earthbound and Zombies Ate my Neighbors. You know me so well :(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Lucifer40/DSC00782.jpg
I got all of that!

Thanks again, Willie! It's all fucking awesome. I definitely did not expect to be so impressed.

[MarioRPG]

Haha, Mr. Smiley just comes outta nowhere! awesome.

Also, I'm sure 10k didn't purposely set himself up with his SS, and it was random.

Let's see the rest of those gifts guys! I'm sure they are all fantastic.

e: whoa crap Zomboid. A Dreamcast. My god that's amazing. Definitely went to someone who appreciates it. Great job willie. You rock the most.

[Zomboid]

I definitely appreciate it. I just need to find and purchase the best game for Dreamcast:
http://continuousfire.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/powerstone.jpg

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Wowwie wow wow. A dreamcast beats everything out of the fucking water hands out.

:willieforprez

edit: fucking love power stone!!!!

[bigtimecow]

willie

what the hell willie

[Zhukov]

Holy crap a fucking Dreamcast.

Jesus Christ guys, I do a Secret Santa on another forum and all we send is a few lollies and a card. Jesus Christ.

[Pentegarn]

The people who try have always been epic gift givers on this forum (I read some of the past results)

So far this year nobody has sucked. Which is in itself a Christmas miracle :P

[captain516]

What gives Willie, you trying to make the rest of us look bad?

[dextire]

Ha Ha! Way to go, Willie! I bet you're glad you decided to join in this year, Zomboid. :)
Man, a Dreamcast, Power Stone, and Skies of Arcadia, and I'll see you in about 3 months.

There has not been a single gift this year that I would not love to get! Especially the ones I did get. :)
Everyone has really come through with awesome stuff!

Now we just have to hope everyone receives a gift and we're golden.
Merry Christmas!

[Zomboid]

I was really reluctant to join this year, but I'm definitely glad that I did. I hope Leader enjoyed the stuff that I sent him, because it's stuff that I'd want to get.

Willie's gifts are just awesome. I didn't know what to expect this year, but ever since the first year, the threat of getting a bunch of shitty items and then being expected to be all wacky and hilarious with them has made me cautious. This year, though, I'm eating delicious cookies and looking forward to getting back to the city so I can hook this thing up to my TV and spend some time in nostalgia land. I could not have gotten anything better. I'll be even happier when the snow melts and I set my sidewalks ablaze with the bottle of FIRE GEL.

I haven't been fucked over by this event yet, and I actually always end up getting really great stuff, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

[The Leader]

I hope Leader enjoyed the stuff that I sent him, because it's stuff that I'd want to get.
Last night I wore one of the shirts you gave me and used the other one as a cape and ran around going "Woosh" really loud. It was awesome!

[Zomboid]

I actually went back and tried to find out what you're even interested in. The only thing that seemed like it might work would be some stuff for models/dioramas. I was looking at a bunch of different sites to try and find some good stuff, but that shit is expensive for anything other than shitty little airplanes.

[The Leader]

Yeah, that's why I make a lot of stuff from second hand crap I find. :(
I love the Onion too though! :rock

[executioneer]

note: i did not buy that dreamcast and was never going to enjoy playing it due to bad memories associated w/ it :( I AM GLAD YOU ENJOY IT

[Zhukov]

You STOLE a Dreamcast? I can see Sonic wagging his finger at you as I type.

[Babs]

Christmas is once again a let down

[Nick]

If my presentee doesn't not get their package soon I will be sad. :(

[Babs]

I'm willing to be the only person to not get a present. THIS IS WHAT JESUS WOULD HAVE DONE!

[Zomboid]

Damn it, Microshock. Post your fucking pictures already.

[executioneer]

You STOLE a Dreamcast? I can see Sonic wagging his finger at you as I type.
no someone gave it to me as collateral on a loan and then didn't pay me back because he went to jail :lol

[Zomboid]

So this thing belonged to a CRIMINAL? That makes it even better! Honestly, the kid who I played dreamcast with in Jr High went on to become a crack dealer/head. I think these things are cursed unless you get them as gifts or something. That seems to void the curse.

[Pentegarn]

Damn it, Microshock. Post your fucking pictures already.

Well if he doesn't post them soon that will be it. He'll go the way of the dodo.

And from what I have seen it will make some peoples' Christmas :lol

[Pentegarn]

So this thing belonged to a CRIMINAL? That makes it even better! Honestly, the kid who I played dreamcast with in Jr High went on to become a crack dealer/head. I think these things are cursed unless you get them as gifts or something. That seems to void the curse.

My brother (MailCall) and I went half-sies on one, he eventually gave me his half though, so maybe you have to be given at least half of one to avoid the curse :lol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Hahahaha, I bet his crime was that he GAVE a dreamcast away.

[Babs]

What's ironic was that I was really thinking about giving 10K one as well. I was going to include KISS Pyscho Circus, Unreal Tournament, and Soul Calibur. I still love you though.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Oh man, I played the demo for KISS Psycho circus when it came out. It was fucking hard.

[dextire]

... I think these things are cursed unless you get them as gifts or something. That seems to void the curse.
Creepy...
My uncle stole my Dreamcast to give to his (then) very bratty kids. He's just got out of prison after 2 years for drugs. I guess I should thank him. :eek

I wish Microshock would post his pictures already. I mean, I don't want to pressure the guy, but he did say he would post them by the 17th.
Although it took me 2 days longer then I planned to post pictures myself, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Anyhow, I really hope everyone else receives the late packages soon (as in the morning).

[BatmanJohnson]

Dreamcasts are awesome!!! I miss mine now. Maybe this will be the year Microshock is banned. A present to all!

[Babs]

I really think he just doesn't want anyone to know what he looks like.

[Zomboid]

He's participated in a couple of other secret santa events, so we all know that he looks like the stupid kid that he is.

[kakumei]

of course, the one day this week i could have taken off from work (but i didn't, because i'm a sap), i miss out on yelling about how much i love dreamcast, so now i'm late to the "i love dreamcast" party. my best friend promised me his dreamcast, but he doesn't remember where he put it, so now we have no idea where it is because it's entirely possible that one of his parents might have donated it to the salvation army. twas a sad day for powerstone j, soul calibur, marvel vs. capcom 2, psychic force 2012, skies of arcadia... at least i know where the 8-bit nintendo (and gold cartridge legend of zelda!) is that he said i could have.

[DonkeyRyan]

I still haven't received my gift. I'm counting on it coming today. If I'm expecting a package i always count on it coming after the weekend. PLEASE COME.

[BatmanJohnson]

Oh god the lose of all those games hurts deep down. I can't remember what I did with my dreamcast. But I wish I hadn't done what ever it was.

[Pentegarn]

Skies of Arcadia was a damn fine game to be sure

[executioneer]

oh and uh zomboid ps just in case you didnt know you can also use the "invisible flame gel" to sanitize your hands and maybe keep from getting h1n1 :-[

[Zomboid]

I've already had h1n1 :(. I'll use it like everyone else does: as an ineffective substitute for hand-washing!

And it also might be used to burn down some things.

[captain516]

I wish Microshock would post his pictures already. I mean, I don't want to pressure the guy, but he did say he would post them by the 17th.

He said his mom was sick, so he was busy helping out. But he's got one day left, so I'm hoping he's not lying.
DonkeyRyan, I hope you don't screwed over, because those were really awesome gifts(the conan figure is now keeping my desk company). I can;t send you anything, but if anybody wants to, PM me for the address.

[Babs]

I can not believe mine still has NOT come.

[Pentegarn]

Can't be held accountable if you don't get it, so you got that going for you at least Babality

[Microshock]

Pictures will only be a couple of hours now, sorry for the wait Captain and you guys.

By the way, my SS has the package, but apparently left the day it came.

[Microshock]

OK HERE IT IS! Captain, i left some stuff out like the little water fountain because i took it over to someone's house in Pennsylvania, but enjoy these pictures anyway!

And it also might be used to burn down some things.
HANDY TIP: if you want it to stop being a gel and turn into a liquid, add common table salt! :themoreyouknow :pointlessinformation

[Zomboid]

Does that negate the FLAMING properties at all?

Also, I'll be the first to admit... I found Microshock's pictures very, very (un)funny. I can now see why it took so (fucking) long to post those great(ly stupid) images. Great job (fucking up again), Microshock!

[executioneer]

it does not! in fact, the SALT will also become flaming for a brief period, and will burn with a yellow, more visible flame

[captain516]

Yeah I hate to say it,but that one picture with all the comics in it is pretty bad. You can't even tell what the one on the far right is! Did you enjoy the movies?

[Microshock]

I'm going to watch them over Christmas Break. Anyway, why are they bad? I really can't do any better....sorry, i hope at least the titles of the comics are visible?

It didn't look so blurry before I uploaded them. And I don't know why the picture got so overblown.

[Zomboid]

Is that the Punisher with Dolph or Thomas Jane, Captain?

[dextire]

Well, thanks for posting pictures, Microshock. You got some very cool stuff!

Very generous load of stuff there, Captain!
Do you mind giving us a tally? I can't even tell which Punisher is on the right. :)

[captain516]

It's the one with Dolph Lundgren.
By tally, do you mean a list of what I sent him?

[DonkeyRyan]

So my gift still didn't come today. Tomorrow though I'm counting on it. I'll even be working from home so that I can be there to receive it.

[Nick]

It's the one with Dolph Lundgren.
By tally, do you mean a list of what I sent him?
Since he doesn't know how to actually use a camera properly, it sure would help if you did.


Can't believe I waited 2 weeks for such piss poor photos. >:

[The Leader]

By tally, do you mean a list of what I sent him?
That'd be nice, considering that he apparently didn't photograph everything you sent him.

[Microshock]

Why'd you hype up my pictures so much? Also, I only left out one thing, which was a little bamboo water fountain. Everything else is in the pictures

[dextire]

By tally, do you mean a list of what I sent him?
That's alright, I understand if you don't want to.
That would be a lot of extra work for you, and I can somewhat make out the stuff.
Except for whatever is still in Pennsylvania, of course. :)

[Nick]

Why'd you hype up my pictures so much? Also, I only left out one thing, which was a little bamboo water fountain. Everything else is in the pictures

We were hyped by the gifts captain gave, not you.

[Microshock]

Tell you what, when I get my hands on a better camera and a better lighting situation, ill repost the pictures. Right now, you'll have to live with this.

And pictures of my gift weren't posted either.

[Nick]

A camera doesn't cause pictures to come out blurry. The operator of the camera does.

[The Leader]

Have the camera set on auto next time and shrink the pics.

[Microshock]

I'll just use my webcam that i used in my GIF and just hold 2 comics at once in front of me. Just hold on guys, i only really do this once a year, so excuse me for technical errors.

I'm not going to give any promises to when ill post the new pictures. Shouldn't be long though. (Yes I know I said that before but i think i mean it)

[Nick]

I just noticed that you had to make sure you included your PS3 in your picture.


:rolleyes

[captain516]

That'd be nice, considering that he apparently didn't photograph everything you sent him.
To be fair, he left out only one thing.
Anyways, I sent him
*an LP
*A bunch ofcomics
*The Fellowship of The Ring
*Movies
* Wolverine toy(sorry Leader, "Action Figure")
*A Berkley Farms Visor
* and the aforementioned fountain.
The movies were: Ballistic: Ecks vs.Sever, The Punisher(1980s), and Kull the Unconquered.
The Comics were: The Web, 1602, Dr. Strange,Superboy, The Goon, and Night Thrasher.

[dextire]

Thanks, Captain!
I had no idea the Wolverine Action Figure and the visor were part of the gifts.
And a fine selection of movies!

A mighty haul indeed!

[The Leader]

* Wolverine toy(sorry Leader, "Action Figure")
It's a doll.

[Microshock]

Is there a reason for Wolverine's claws being chopped off? HMMMMMMM?

[Sam]

he had to make them child safe so you didn't hurt yourself :lol

[captain516]

Yeeeeeah, about that. the Wolverine and the visor were both from a thrift store. I don't wanna look like like a cheapskate, but I was afraid of spending under the limit. So I just picked the first two things I saw.

[Babs]

Microshock, you're a fucking bastard. MERRY CHRISTMAS DICK SUCKER!

[Microshock]

:) Only the very best from a mother

[MarioRPG]

Well, at least something came of the pictures. I hope the remaining people get their gifts and Christmas joy soon. :(
Also: we should all thank willie for teaching us a valuable lesson about flammables. I think this is the first time I-Mockery actually taught me something.

[stonewar]

[quote=captain516;664542]To be fair, he left out only one thing.
Anyways, I sent him
*an LP


of what? or doesn't it matter? Can't read anything due the the glare.

[dextire]

The LP is "Slug Line" by John Hiatt.
I don't own a turntable, but if I had received this, I would of made one out of paper.
Then I could listen to classics such as "The Negroes Were Dancing", and "Sharon's Got A Drugstore".

[DonkeyRyan]

Well, the mail just arrived and no package. I'm not counting on it being here before Christmas now.

[Microshock]

Guys, i'm going to retake the pictures so everything is visible. Sorry for my horrible camera work but the 2nd try should be better and as an added bonus, there wont be any wacky faces!

[Nick]

It's too late now. We've been scarred for life.

[dextire]

Well, since today is the deadline, I hope that MrSmiley381 will post his photos.
I think he's the only one who has a package and hasn't posted yet.

[DonkeyRyan]

I JUST got my package!! I haven't even opened it yet. I'll open it and have some pictures posted today.

I'll even make the picture deadline. lol

[dextire]

That's great, DonkeyRyan! I can't wait to see the pictures. :)

That's one late package down. Two more to go. Come on Christmas magic!

[DonkeyRyan]

So here are my gifts that I received. My secret santa was MrSmiley381 and he created a game!

Here is the gift by my tree:
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z177/tonysopran0/secretsanta/secretsanta001.jpg

The game is Bidoozle:

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z177/tonysopran0/secretsanta/scan0046.jpg

Here are the pieces:
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z177/tonysopran0/secretsanta/secretsanta005.jpg

I had to use the first aid:
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z177/tonysopran0/secretsanta/secretsanta018.jpg


Thanks for the gift!

[Pentegarn]

We were allowed to send condoms? Wish I had known.

[dextire]

Nice stuff, DonkeyRyan! I'm glad you finally got it.
I like how MrSmiley381 tied them all together with the game.
And he invented a new word; all who lose the game shall both take a beaten, and then be eaten, or "bea eaten". Brilliant! :)

Pentegarn: As far as I know, it's acceptable to send condoms, as long as they are not ribbed, and clearly labeled as "first aid".

[captain516]

that sounds like an awesome game.

[DonkeyRyan]

I've been yo-yo-ing for the last half hour. This thing sleeps forever, it's awesome.

[MrSmiley381]

Wow, I like robots AND learning how to meet women. They always run from me, and I don't know why!

http://img706.imageshack.us/i/p1000032m.jpg/Hey! This isn't addressed to me! Microshock, you wily bastard!

If you're all wondering why I cut it so close to the deadline for posting when I had the package Friday, blame Fallout 3.

I would also like to say that if people would like to enjoy Bidoozle, I would be willing to work on improved editions of it. No joke, we could make the BEST GAME EVER!

[Microshock]

Ha ha :) So did you enjoy Transformers? And yeah, the second note is not the way I write, i had someone else write it. Hope you liked the gift.

[dextire]

Way to go, MrSmiley381! Just in the nick of time. :)

Merry Christmas!

[Nick]

Microshock needs you to return that book to him later.

He's gotta get a date.

[MrSmiley381]

I will assuredly make sure he gets a date. The book shall lead to a collegiate-level discussion on the finer points of seduction, leading us to a higher understanding of female behavioral patterns.

That, or we can get a prostitute.

I took the liberty of resizing the last photo and editing out Microshock's real name, and using the better resized images. You can knock those links away so no one can track down Microshock and molest him.

So, what's the current status? Who's missing a package?

[Nick]

That's one thing I don't think you'll have to worry about.





Then again there is Tadao.

[dextire]

So, what's the current status? Who's missing a package?

I believe the only ones left are Babality Pancakes, and Zhukov.
And we still have two guys left who shipped late. So hopefully everyone will get a gift this year. :)

[Zhukov]

Well I got home from work tonight and it looks like I have my package from Nick. Bloody fantastic.

Pictures tomorrow.

[stonewar]

christmas wishes to Banality Pancakes. It looks like the Grinch stole your gift.

Xmas everyone. I must go brave ice and snow to visit Grandma now.

[Babs]

Absolute worse Christmas ever. Worse than when my mom's friend died of cancer and her daughter came in to give her Christmas present just before she passed away.

[dextire]

Alright! Only one package to go!
And it makes sense, last package shipped, last package received.

I'm most likely going to be off until the 26th.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

[Nick]

Well I got home from work tonight and it looks like I have my package from Nick. Bloody fantastic.

Pictures tomorrow.
Yay, I am so happy. :)

:( :( :(

[stevetothepast]

:tear

[Nick]

I'll buy a gift for Bablity Pancakes if they don't get one soon. :(

[BatmanJohnson]

I think I'll send cookies if pancakes doesn't get anything by the time I get back from vacation.

[kakumei]

i would also be more than happy to send babality pancakes some baked goods if that present doesn't show up. being kind of poor and a baker by trade, i bake pastries for my friends pretty much every year. this year, it's chocolate peppermint bread and egg nog bread, and i totally have some leftover ones that i could ship out no problem. i'm glad at least zhukov's present showed up.

[Zomboid]

Fuck, I'm so drunk. I love eating these Willie cookies. So good.

[BatmanJohnson]

I make Dinosaur sugar cookies. I'll see what I can do.

[The Leader]

I WILL SEND MORE COMIC BOOKS TO THE BABALITY COMIC BOOKS OF LOVE

[BatmanJohnson]

It'll be an after Christmas miracle

[Nick]

Next year everyone will wish that their SS gift never comes so they can get a ton of cookies.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

What would be a lot better than givings Babs cookies is everyone visiting him for the holidays to drink together.

:WHO'SWITHME?

[Nick]

As long as he's buying.

[Tadao]

r.i.p. btc :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:( Even though BTC didn't participate this year he can come drink along with the rest of us too.

Just Kitten. Did he still not get his gift from last year?

[bigtimecow]

NOPE

FUCK I WANNA DRINK WITH YOU GUYS but i think the closest person to me is 10KVG, who could most likely use a drink or twenty. when's the next imock meet up?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I sure could. Hopefully soon because I can finally almost drive again.

[executioneer]

when's the next imock meet up?
we could have one before/after the s. diego comicon maybe :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

[executioneer]

[executioneer]

[executioneer]

[Babs]

[Microshock]

There's your package Babality.

[Babs]

[stevetothepast]

he probably didn't even try to send it yet. terrible.

[lumpisan]

i couldnt afford to actually send it like overnight or something alright i sent it to the wrong adress it was eturned i just paid yet again to get it shipped itll be late im sorry alright^^; i could barely afford to actually do it this year and i couldnt buy my family shit so please dont give me any more shit i already feel like a fucking dick alright?

[Nick]

I wish my SS would post pictures. He must be having too much fun playing with his present. :(

[Microshock]

What's the point of joining a Secret Santa where you have to pay money to get someone else stuff if you have no money?

[lumpisan]

i had money then my roommate bailed on the rent ^^; it was stupid i know but i hope my person likes his gift tho ^^

[dextire]

I wish my SS would post pictures. He must be having too much fun playing with his present. :(
I think we can give him a little patience. After all, you were a little (like 6 days past deadline) late shipping it to him, right? :lol

[Nick]

Next year you can ship from Alabama to Australia! >:

[dextire]

Next year you can ship from Alabama to Australia! >:
What does that have to do with you shipping the package out late? :confused:

I didn't mean to pick on you. I just found it funny that you were the one being impatient. :)
Zhukov just received the package on the 23rd. I understand you're anxious, but give him a little more time.

I mean, it's not like you've been waiting for 2 weeks for him to post pictures, like Captain516 had to. Right?

[Babs]

Seriously everyone, don't worry SANTA CAME BY MY HOUSE THOUGH!!!!!!!!!

HOLY, TAKE A SHIT ON MY CHEST I CAN'T BELIEVE HE KNOWS MY TASTE, SHIT!!!! It's not my secret santa but better.... the real fucking deal santa stopped by to really lighten the day up!!!!

[MarioRPG]

Merry late Christmas. Hope that this event sorta kinda worked out.

Sending out the Krampus next year.

[stevetothepast]

hahaha

[Babs]

I'm still going to posts my pictures of my presents from Santa, not my secret Santa, but fucking Santa. Doesn't anybody care to see what the fat fuck got me? DOES ANYONE FUCKING CARE.

[Pentegarn]

Did he get you booze and whores?

[dextire]

I'm still going to posts my pictures of my presents from Santa, not my secret Santa, but fucking Santa. Doesn't anybody care to see what the fat fuck got me? DOES ANYONE FUCKING CARE.
Of course we care!
Why do you think we've been keeping the thread active with Microshock drama? :lol
Post the pictures already! Umm, I mean please. :)

[Nick]

I'm still waiting for pictures, pancakes. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I FUCKING CARE.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Anyone still not gotten their gifts yet?

[dextire]

I'm almost certain that Babality Pancakes is the only one left who hasn't received a gift.
And Lumpisan said he was re-shipping on the 26th, so hopefully it won't be much longer.

Also, Zhukov hasn't posted photos of the package he got from Nick on the 23rd.
Though he may be out of town or something, I haven't seen him on at all since he said he received it.

And Babs promised non-Secret Santa photos at some point.

I think that's it.
Besides a few problems, I'd say this year was a very successful and fun Secret Santa event.
Nice job, everyone! :)

[Babs]

I got my gift finally!

PICTURES SOON!

[dextire]

Yes! Finally!
I'm really looking forward to the pictures. :)

That should be it. As soon as Babality Pancakes and Zhukov post pictures, we'll have (for the most part) successfully finished this sucker! :rock

[Zhukov]

I wish my SS would post pictures. He must be having too much fun playing with his present. :(

Hey dude I'm sorry!

I've been in hospital since Christmas! Skipping ahead a few pages now to post them, and I hope I am not banned. :(

Nick sent me some things I have dreamed of but never actually seen, including some of the famous Madballs:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/Vincered/DSCF2816.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/Vincered/DSCF2817.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/Vincered/DSCF2818.jpg
Which I actually said "That is fucking disgusting" out loud to when I squeezed one. They stink so bad, by the way.

...and an all American hero:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/Vincered/DSCF2799.jpg

Thank you very much for the gifts, Nick. I'm really sorry I haven't posted the pictures. I'm really impressed with ALL the gifts that people sent out this year. Well done lads.

[Pentegarn]

Question for Zhukov or Nick:

Is that an original package Duke? Or a re-run of that toy?

[MLE]

That looks original ;o

[Pentegarn]

That looks original ;o

That's what I thought as well (mentioning the cartoon on card makes me think so anyway)

(EDIT)That makes it an even more awesome gift Nick sent Zhukov then.

Now I am lamenting the fact that I opened and played with my Storm Shadow figure when I was little. (I asked my mom for years why I wasn't beaten for that. She said something silly like, 'we got it for you to play with' which was just as I said, silly)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Hey dude I'm sorry!

I've been in hospital since Christmas! Skipping ahead a few pages now to post them, and I hope I am not banned. :(

BANNED. srsly though, are you out of the hospital and okay? That's no place to spend the holidays.

[Zhukov]

Question for Zhukov or Nick:

Is that an original package Duke? Or a re-run of that toy?

Well it says 2008 on the pack, but thanks for making it seem better guys :lol

I'm pretty pleased; I've never seen a GI Joe before.


PS: I am ok, thanks for asking. Worst Christmas and New Years ever though. Spent most of the time out of my mind with a migraine headache akin to a small stroke.

[Pentegarn]

That's a pretty good reprint then

[dextire]

Extremely nice haul of stuff, Zhukov!
I'm glad you're ok. :)

Not only are those official Madballs, but they are the "Sick Series"!
Nicely done, Nick!
