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

[Mockery]

YO HO HO HO! WELCOME TO...
http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/secret-santa/secret-santa09.gif
SIGNUP THREAD

It’s Christmas time again and that means one thing: homeless people freezing to death in back alleys! Along with that, it’s also time for I-Mockery’s annual Christmas Secret Santa event. Every year, registered users from the forum come together to share in the holiday commercialism by buying and sending each other gifts that range from hilarious to just plain awesome. It’s tradition, so if you think you wanna join in the fun, be sure to reply to this thread. 10,000 Volt Ghost is running the event this year, so be sure to read the important rules he's posted below:

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

How it works:

You sign up in this thread by stating that you want to join. The last day to sign up is November 24th. Send 10,000 Volt Ghost (http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=7324) a private message with your full mailing address, real name and your forum name/alias. On November 25th, you will receive a PM with the name and address of the person you will be sending your gift to. At this point, you send out your gift before December 5th and get ready to receive a gift of your own! Upon receiving your gift, you must post pictures in this thread to show everyone what you got! It’s not mandatory, but many participants in the past have made a little story out of enjoying their gift(s), so do that if you wanna have extra fun! But at the very least, you need to post photos of what you received. Everyone needs to get pictures of the gifts they received posted by December 22nd.

Everyone has plenty of time to do all of that, so do it!

Special note for those of you who live outside of North America:

You’re more than welcome to participate, but pay special attention to the “how people will be split up” section below.

Rules and Guidelines:
This whole thing is for fun, but there has to be some assurance that everyone will keep up their end of the bargain, so failure to follow the rules and instructions will result in a permanent ban from the forums. Plus, we know Santa pretty well, and he’s assured us that messing up in any way will result in a nice big chunk of coal being rammed up your rectum! :D

Here are some general rules and guidelines everybody should follow:
Spend somewhere between 15-25 bucks on your gift. This amount does NOT include shipping costs. No one likes a cheapskate, so if this is too much money for you, get a job and join next year instead! Don’t go overboard and get something expensive, but don’t cheap out either. If you want to spend more than 25 bucks, you can, but please understand that you most likely won't receive something of equal monetary value. Then again, that's not what this is all about, so that shouldn't matter to you anyway, Scrooge!
Obey all deadlines. Screwing someone over, especially at Christmas, is a guaranteed ticket to hell! Let’s see if an eternity of torture will help you be punctual!
Before signing up, make sure you have a working camera. If you can’t upload pictures to your computer directly, there are other options such as getting your film developed and put on a CD. Uploading pictures of your gifts is just as important to our Secret Santa event as sending some gifts out is.
MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS IS UP TO DATE AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY TROUBLE RECEIVING PACKAGES! It’s not hard to find your current address, so don’t fuck it up!
Don’t be cheap and make something. If you have to do that, keep the minimum spending amount in mind and consider sending other purchased stuff along with your creation as well.
Your mailing address CANNOT be a P.O. Box. No gifts will be sent to P.O. boxes nor will anyone with a P.O box as a mailing address be allowed to participate in the Secret Santa event.
Again If you fail to uphold your end of the deal, you will be permanently banned from the forums. So please, don't be a dick. We want this event to be fun for everybody.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOW TO PURCHASE GIFTS FROM DOLLAR STORES. We've had too many people get screwed over by cheap gifts at 99cent / dollar general stores, so please do not purchase gifts from them.IF YOU’RE A NEW MEMBER(Registered AND active less than a year)

In an effort to cut down on people who might sign-up just to get free shit, new users need to take the following steps to be eligible to join in the fun:

1.Provide a picture of themselves holding up a hand-written sign that says both "I-MOCKERY SECRET SANTA 2009" along with their message forum name/name in plain view.

2. Post this picture in this thread for all to see.

3. PM 10,000 Volt Ghost (http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=7324), informing him that you are a new member who wants to participate in the secret Santa event. He will then send you a letter with a mailing address.

4.Send a test letter to the mailing address that you were provided with by 10,000 Volt Ghost. The letter needs to include your full name, return mailing address and your name here on the I-Mockery forums.

5.To ensure that you’re eligible to participate, do all of that as quickly as possible!

These steps are necessary to verify that you have a working camera and the motivation to get your ass to a post office.

DEADLINES!!!!

-The last day to SIGN UP is November 24th, ONE WEEK FROM TODAY (watch this thread because if we have an uneven number, we might accept more)

-The last day for SENDING your gifts out is December 5th

-The last day for POSTING PICTURES of the gifts you receive is December 22nd

MAILING YOUR PACKAGE:

-You MUST send out your gifts by priority or express shipping methods to ensure that everyone receives their gifts in a timely fashion. Someone will be doing this for you, so please do it for someone else.

-You MUST purchase a tracking number for your package so that you can keep track of it if there are any delays.

-Do NOT send a PM or email to the person who you are sending a gift to in an attempt to let them know that you're their Secret Santa. It's called "Secret" Santa for a reason, people. Half of the fun is people being surprised when they learn who their Secret Santa is!

RECEIVING YOUR PACKAGE:

-Post pictures of all the gifts you receive no later than December 22nd. If you want to be funny with it and make a video or something, that’s great, but just make sure you submit it all by the 22nd.

-Take pictures of ALL of your gifts. Half of the fun of this event is seeing recipients enjoying their gifts.

-If you don’t have your package and it’s getting close to the deadline for postings pictures, send a PM to 10,000 Volt Ghost so he can see what the delay is.

HOW PEOPLE WILL BE SPLIT UP:

Everyone who participates will be paired randomly with someone to send their gift to, but if certain conditions are met, some switches might have to be made:

Because this event attracts people from all over the world, special attention will be paid to making sure people won’t have to spend too much on shipping. This doesn’t mean that you’re guaranteed to get someone from the same country as you, but if there are only a couple participants from your part of the world, it’s a possibility. Either way, we will not tolerate complaints from people who refuse to mail packages outside of their country. If you have a problem with this, you shouldn't sign up because there's always a chance you will have to pay a little extra to ship your package out. This season is about giving, so you shouldn't be picky about little things like shipping fees.

So....just PM your info to me, 10K and I'll get to work.

[Babs]

I'm in as well

[Zomboid]

I don't wanna run it, but if you want to make things easy on yourself, just copy the rules and regulations from last year's event and tweak what's needed.

Also, I like that the intro I wrote last year is being used again :)

[The Leader]

I would like to participate.

[executioneer]

im in but it has to be REALLY REALLY secret this year or else :mad

[Nick]

Alright, I'm in.

[captain516]

Like I said, I'm in. I think we should let 10k run it.

[Zhukov]

If by "let 10k run it" you mean "force him to" then yes, I am in.

[Mockery]

I don't wanna run it, but if you want to make things easy on yourself, just copy the rules and regulations from last year's event and tweak what's needed.

Also, I like that the intro I wrote last year is being used again :)
That's the Christmas miracle of copy-paste. I would've copied all the rules 'n dates, but I figured whoever decided to run the thing might want to change that stuff up a bit.

10,000 Volt Ghost - It looks like the job is yours this year. Make us proud!

:hohoho

[stonewar]

I have been shopping for the perfect santa gift for the last week and checking the forum everyday for the sign up announcement

I AM SO IN!!!!!!!!!!1

(too eager?)

[Protoclown]

Money is too tight this year, unfortunately. Have fun, guys.

[BatmanJohnson]

I'm in!

[Mockery]

Please take note that no gifts may be purchased from Dollar General / 99 cent type o' stores this year. We've had too many people get screwed over by stuff like that in the past (yes, myself included), so we want to make sure everybody gets something they like. If you want to buy something from the dollar store in addition to your $15 - $25 purchase from elsewhere, that's fine... just don't do the majority of your gift shopping there. Expired Hello Kitty fruit snacks does not make a good gift. :x

[Microshock]

I have a feeling that I'm one of the people responsible for the no 99c store rule.

Yeah I'm in

[MarioRPG]

This year shows the return of Willie so that means it will be the best yet so everyone get your hopes up! :D

[executioneer]

someone gonna get cookies

[Ozzie]

I totally want in on this. Was going to sign up last year, but money was too tight.

[Pentegarn]

I am in as soon as I get the new place's mailing address (I don't have it memorized :P )

[poppers620]

Im in

[dextire]

Yes! I want in!
Since I'm a new member here's the photo.

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/2009Santa.jpg

Pondering if perhaps I shouldn't have followed the instructions exactly to the letter (or number). :)

I take it by the very strict instructions that some people have gotten screwed in the past? That truly is awful.

Anyway, I hope I get in. Off to do the next step.

[Mockery]

I'm sure you'll get in Dextire. I trust ya :picklehat

[BatmanJohnson]

I'm not considered new am I? I've been here just over a year.

[Mockery]

Nah, you're not considered new, BatmanJohnson. Plus I know you can post photos since you've already participated in the recent Halloween jack-o-lantern contest we had. So once 10,000 Volt Ghost logs back in and adds you to the list, consider yourself in.

[Microshock]

You should advertise this on Doc Mock, the more users the merrier!

[The Leader]

Microshock, if I'm your secret Santa you're going to get a box of broken fingers.

[kakumei]

i am so in. i'm so excited i might cry a little.

[executioneer]

You should advertise this on Doc Mock, the more users the merrier!
nooo secret santa SECRET santa! WHAT PART OF SECRET IS CONFUSING

[executioneer]

[Microshock]

BROKEN FINGERS FILLED WITH LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE?

[Zomboid]

Wait, is Microshock in?

[Microshock]

Sup.

[Zomboid]

That's not an answer.

[The Leader]

Yes, he is.

[Zomboid]

Then I'm out. I was never officially in, anyway. I was kind of on the fence for it this year, but I don't wanna risk having a repeat of what happened to Proto.

Have fun, errrbody!

[Pentegarn]

You should have not told us that and kept the info secret, now Willie's gonna get upset about that spoiler

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Updated.

[BatmanJohnson]

I am so excited!!! I'm getting my Secret Santa Gift together today!!!

[executioneer]

zomboid ill send you a secret santa present :-*

[Nick]

Once I find out who I'm buying for I'm going to stalk them to find out all their dirty secrets. I will then give them the gift of being able to buy them back from me.


For a reasonable price, of course. This is the season of giving after all.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Still waiting on some address info for some people. Please get this to me A.S.A.Probable.....as in you should probably get it to me within 3 days so I can let everyone know who they have.

[Mockery]

Please cease with the arguing and drama about Microshock in this official event thread. He fucked up in the past. End of story. Let's move on with this year's event.

And yeah, if you haven't already, send 10,000 Volt Ghost your info for the Secret Santa event! Only a few days left to sign-up!

[Zomboid]

Yar, I'll send that to ya right away. Christmas SEEEECRAAAATZ!

Really glad the dollar store rule is in effect. I went back and looked at some of last year's items, and I was reminded how fucking awesome some of them were... but I was also reminded of how absolutely terrible some of them were.

Hopefully some of the people who were skeptical will join in this time. Also, thanks again for the gifts, Proto. I'm moving into a new place and packed the fire-breathing nun and yodeling pickle last night. Alas, the mustache comb has been lost to the ages :(

[captain516]

Is still find it funny that ZBF didn't get banned for being an ass while Jixby got banned for not posting pics.

[Zomboid]

It's always been made clear that not posting pics will get you baaaaanned. Plus, I'm pretty sure it's been said a bunch of times that if he really wanted to come back, he could ask to be unbanned.

And yes, everyone (and a certain someone in particular), sending out gifts late is considered fucking up. While not officially against last year's rules (but against this year's), sending out a bunch of dollar store shit is also not really appreciated.

[Zomboid]

Speaking of which... do we even have any new people this year? Normally they come out of the woodwork for this event.

[DonkeyRyan]

I would really like to participate in this! It gives me an excuse to finally register and become active on the forums.

Here is my picture:
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z177/tonysopran0/Misc/misc001.jpg

Notice the moustache because it is November.

[MarioRPG]

Speaking of which... do we even have any new people this year? Normally they come out of the woodwork for this event.

Do we have to use this exact phrase every damn year :domo :lol

[Zomboid]

I was looking through the old threads earlier. Call it a throwback.

[Nick]

I've been looking through gift ideas all day. I hope I get someone manly who will appreciate my manly gifts. B)

[Hangie]

I was going to participate, but my dad doesn't trust you guys and thinks you're going to send a bomb to my house :(

[Microshock]

Smartest dad in the world award

[Tadao]

Can you two go be somewhere else. We are welcoming new people, not scaring them off. Please go be a downer elsewhere.

[DonkeyRyan]

Can you two go be somewhere else. We are welcoming new people, not scaring them off. Please go be a downer elsewhere.

I'm new and I won't be scared away because I really want to participate in the secret santa.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Still need addresses and names from people. You know who you are.

[executioneer]

oh whoops

[BatmanJohnson]

So excited. I've already got all the stuff for my Secret santa. My person is going to be lucky!!

[dextire]

Looks like I'm in! I wonder what the participants with the "?" next to them mean? Maybe no photo, or no address yet?

I'm excited as well, BatmanJohnson! I have most of my stuff together already.
I'm going out later today to do some more Christmas shopping. So maybe I'll find some more cool stuff and be able to finish it up!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

?'s are for people who I either still need their info from or new people that they need to post a picture of themselves so I know they're a real person.

[captain516]

My stuff's almost ready. I hope whoever I get likes history.

[kakumei]

i thought about making my cat pose with me, but then i decided that i prefer it when my skin is intact.

http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/4193/mockery.jpg

maybe in my third year of being a member (2 years in february!), i'll finally get around to actually contributing witty repartee to the forums...

[Zomboid]

I dig the drawing.

[Malekly09]

[Sam]

I'm not in this year. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:(

[The Leader]

FUCK

[executioneer]

YOU INGORANT FUCKS YOU THOUGHT SAM WAS IN

[Zhukov]

I hope someone likes local produce! :)

[BatmanJohnson]

I hope someone likes local produce! :)


Don't mean to be a kill joy, but I don't think you are really allowed to ship produce. Restrictions are really strict. Would hate for someone to not give their gift.

[NotDavid]

I'd love to do this but I just know I'd fuck it up somehow since I rarely ever ship things.

[Microshock]

You put the stuff in a box. If its easily breakable, you wrap it in bubble wrap. Get a marker and a piece of paper and write the return address (yours) in the upper left corner and the recipient's address in the middle. Tape it nice and securely to the top of the box. Or just use a marker and write on the box itself.

Then you take the box full of stuff to a post office. You wait in line or use the automated machine.

If you wait in line, give the box to the postal office worker and then they will do it all, you pay them 5-10 bucks. If you use the machine, do everything it says, put in a credit card and let it print out the sticker and put it on top of the box, then dump it in the big blue box.

Done.

[stonewar]

Don't mean to be a kill joy, but I don't think you are really allowed to ship produce. Restrictions are really strict. Would hate for someone to not give their gift.
It called lieing to the mailman. Its not like they make you swear an oath or nothing. I sent an apple to Canada last year and labeled it "homemade doll" on the customs slip.

[stonewar]

If its easily breakable, you wrap it in bubble wrap.

This...so this
I recieved candy and shards of glass last year.

[dextire]

I recieved candy and shards of glass last year.

Well at least the shards of glass smelled nice, right? :)

[BatmanJohnson]

Glass is always acceptable if it smells nice. Candy is fine. Its perishable items you aren't supposed to ship. But if you've done it internationally before should be fine.

[Nick]

I hope I don't get some moldy lettuce. :(

[Zhukov]

Yeah it was a joke killjoy >:

While not sending meat or eggs, I think I will send my person something made locally.

[Zoso2127]

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I want a Wallaby

[MarioRPG]

I sent an apple to Canada last year and labeled it "homemade doll" on the customs slip.

And now we're in a recession, all thanks to Vanessa (http://aqua-teen-hunger-force.wikia.com/wiki/Dewey_and_Vanessa).

[Zhukov]

I want a Wallaby

Wallaby meat is deeeeelish. We get the best wallabies here in Tasmania. Very fat and slow and tasty.

[stonewar]

I need to get offline. I have been checking my personal messages every hour for my secret santa address so I can print the address label on the fancy labelwriter at work. I guess I'll pick it up monday.
Happy thanksgiving

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

About to send them out within the hour.

[BatmanJohnson]

Sweet I am shipping out friday!

[dextire]

Just got my SS address! Shipping Friday for me as well.
Do you think we're getting a little too excited about this, BatmanJohnson? :)

[Babs]

Whoever I got is a lucky son of a bitch.

[BatmanJohnson]

I think we have an acceptable level of excitement. Besides nothing wrong with getting enthused. I honestly wanted to do this last year,but had housing issues.

[DonkeyRyan]

Sweet. I'm going to try and ship Friday or Monday.

[dextire]

Shipped. 3 lb, 14 oz of Christmas commercialism is on it's way! :rock

[captain516]

I'm having trouble finding the last few items I need. Is it ok if I send my package a little past the deadlne?

[The Leader]

Motherfucker

[captain516]

:(

[Sam]

BANNED

[BatmanJohnson]

Shipped priority mail and on its way!!!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I probably should go shopping.

SAM: Remind me to tell you my awesome idea for Secret Santa.

[Nick]

I ordered my gift and will be mailing it as soon as it gets to me. Probably next weekish. :)

[DonkeyRyan]

I shipped mine today. I wanted to keep it. I hope my person likes it!

[Babs]

I want some Puff Daddy remixed songs.

edit: NO STING!

[stonewar]

anyone ever buy from the something store? I always wanted to send a gift from that site. That way its a surprise for you and me. But chances are you would get bath salts or a manicure set and I get enought of those from my cousins.

[Fathom Zero]

I made a thread on that. I got an oven mitt. :(

[stonewar]

I get home from work this afternoon and was filling out the address on my secret santa gift when my sister tells me I have a package in the front room.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2662/4148710378_ac948ecc91_m.jpg
"Is it your secret santa gift?" she asked.
"No its too early." I replied mystified what it could be.
But damned if it wasn't that very thing. Dextire is a speedy elf.

Thank you, Dextire Merry X-mas

[Mockery]

Nice haul Stonewar, and way to set the bar extremely high for this year's Secret Santa event Dextire! What did the note say? The photo was too small to read.

[BatmanJohnson]

I think I'll give Dextire a run for his money, once the Photos are posted. Lumpisan has already Messaged to say he received his gift.

[The Leader]

I think it says:

There was a boy, who was filled with joy, everytime he got a toy
One Christmas, a package came for the boy in the mail, and the boy’s joy filled to the brink
And when he opened the package, the boy was so excited, he ran smack into the sink
Inside the box was not a pair of socks, or a sweater, or a mop
The boy, who got a new toy, was so filled with joy, his head exploded with a pop

[dextire]

Wow! That was fast! I mean I just shipped it on Friday.

Well, if you consider the month of December as Christmas time, then you only got it one day early. :)

I'm really glad you liked the stuff, Stonewar!

[dextire]

Good eye, Leader! That's it. And now you all know I'm in no way a poet.

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/ss.png

May all your heads explode with gory joy this holiday season. :)

[stonewar]

Nice haul Stonewar, and way to set the bar extremely high for this year's Secret Santa event Dextire! What did the note say? The photo was too small to read.

I realize after I posted it. the picture was too small to read.
*ahem*
Dear stone--
oh he beat me to it.

[dextire]

Dear stone--
oh he beat me to it.

Since Leader beat us both, I thought I'd just go ahead and post the whole thing.


I think I'll give Dextire a run for his money...

Ha ha! That's the spirit, BatmanJohnson! "It's better to give than receive. So I, BatmanJohnson, shall give the best gift of all! I will win this Christmas competition! MUAHAHAHAHA!"

Awesome. I can't wait to see the gifts! :)

[Womti]

I would like to sign up.

[Zomboid]

:rolleyes

[Mockery]

I would like to sign up.
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.

[Pentegarn]

Just sent mine out. (later than I wanted, but it took till late yesterday to come up with an idea for the 'coup de grâce' gift)

So now I play the waiting game, or Mass Effect, or Warsong, or whatever

[Babs]

MINE IS DONE AND READY TO BE SHIPPED OUT TOMORROW!!!

I can't wait until my SECRET PERSON gets mine. YOU'RE GOING TO LOOOOOOOOVE IT!

[Ozzie]

Got mine shipped out today as well.

[executioneer]

well i have an IDEA at least of what to send for s. santa :( hopefully i'm not gonna go over the timelimit

[Nick]

I hope your not my Secret Santa. :(

[executioneer]

WE GOT UNTIL DEC 5TH CALM DOWN

[Nick]

Half of my Secret Santa goodies are here, but unfortunately the rest of it may be late getting to me by a few days. I'll ship it out a soon as I have it all together though, shouldn't be the 10th at the latest. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I think for next year if someone is going to participate they should at least fill out the form in the "New person thread as a qualifier."

[Fathom Zero]

This is going to be a cluster-f, I can feel it.

[BatmanJohnson]

I just wish my person would post photos :\.

[Babs]

Don't worry batman's johnson. It's probably still being shipped out.

[BatmanJohnson]

I mean that, I wish the person I shipped to would post photos, Since it arrived on monday.

[Babs]

do you have your receipts >:

[BatmanJohnson]

do you have your receipts >:

Yup and confirmation to the person I shipped to. Oh well He does have until the 22nd.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Give him time. I'm real lazy myself.

[Babs]

I have a last minute gift idea (hey, I got other gifts too, don't think I waited until the last second) but i think it might be a "little" to much.

[BatmanJohnson]

Deadline hasn't hit yet.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I sitll need to go shopping. Possibly tonight.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I haven't done it yet either. Plenty of time.

[MattJack]

Ummm so I thought I agreed to do this, but I never got a person to send a present. Is there a problem? PM me.

[Fathom Zero]

You can send me one, Mattjack, and I'll post pictures.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Ummm so I thought I agreed to do this, but I never got a person to send a present. Is there a problem? PM me.

You never sent me your address. I sent you a PM about it too.

[poppers620]

I shipped my box out priority yesterday :)

[Nick]

I just have some little stuff left to get, if it doesn't get here by December, 5. I'll just ship what I have and keep the rest for myself. :)

I just went with what I thought would be a cool gift to receive, even if it went over the price limit. :3

[Microshock]

I'm still thinking of some stuff to get

[kakumei]

between not having access to my computer for several days and essentially working two full time jobs at the same time, i'm surprised i was able to get a present together (yesterday) and ship it out (today) before the deadline. the "wrapping" paper (read: paper i stuffed in the box to keep stuff from moving too much) is really janky, but i'm certain the contents of the box are more than adequately awesome.

[captain516]

Well, this sucks. I couldn't get the items I wanted to send, so I'll have to just think of something else. Sorry in advance, recipient.

[Zomboid]

I just sent out my stuff. Should be good.

[executioneer]

just gotta finish up a few touches (LETTER ETC) and put it in a box, prob. out tomorrow or the fifth if i can't get to the post office in time tomorrow

[Pentegarn]

I mean that, I wish the person I shipped to would post photos, Since it arrived on monday.

Well, I wouldn't worry too much, you did your part, you can't get in trouble if they forget to post. That said, I understand waning your hard work to get the time in the spotlight it deserves.

[Zomboid]

There's no reason to be upset about someone not posting pictures before the deadline for sending your gift(s) is even up yet.

[BatmanJohnson]

Not really upset, just anxious. I know the deadline is still a ways off.

[MarioRPG]

Just got back from the post office, it'll prolly start it's no doubt epic and perilous journey on monday.

Also, to my SS, I underestimated the costs of my gifts in my letter. Last one threw me up another 8 bux. So merry chrimmas!

[stonewar]

I sent mine on wednesday, but looking at the reciept I realized to post worker didn't even ask how I wanted it sent if I wanted confirmation or anything. But I also handed her 15 musical christmas cards that had to be individually weighed and postage printed. What a pain in the ass. I am never doing that again.

[Ozzie]

Like a character in a zany movie who suddenly woke up in a girl's body, I am thoroughly enjoying my new box of fun!

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o260/IAmWearingSpidermanUnderwear/P1020440.jpg

The first thing was a note that was obviously a pain in the ass to make, complete with a picture of the Grinch at the bottom.

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o260/IAmWearingSpidermanUnderwear/P1020442.jpg

The next was, surprisingly, a movie that I am interested in but have never seen and do not already own. Clearly this "Pentegarn" has intimate knowledge of the conversations I have with my younger brother.

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o260/IAmWearingSpidermanUnderwear/P1020444.jpg

The next was a festive bag of Hershey's kisses, complete with a recipe for cookies on the back. Cookies that I will never bake.

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o260/IAmWearingSpidermanUnderwear/P1020445.jpg

The "big present" in the bunch is none other than a remote controlled helicopter! This was actually the top present in the box, but you can't start with helicopter and work your way down to chocolate. That would just be ridiculous.

I'd like to thank everyone who took part in the Secret Santa, I had a hell of a lot of fun, and hopefully you all did too. I especially hope this post was as funny to you as it was to me. And big special thanks to Pentegarn for something that will undoubtedly annoy the shit out of my parents until I break it in 2 weeks. And chocolate.

Merry Christmas everyone!

[The Leader]

I mailed my package today.

[Nick]

Here is my gift from Stonewar.

http://img686.yfrog.com/img686/2638/xmasgifts.jpg
Merry Christmas. :)

[The Leader]

What's the thing on the left?

[Nick]

No idea. Mp3 player of some sort?

[captain516]

It's an Ipod shuffle

[The Leader]

That sounds expensive. :o

[Fathom Zero]

Damn, people're gettin' good shit this year.

[Nick]

It's an Ipod shuffle
Nah, it's not.

[The Leader]

Way to call your secret santa cheap. :rolleyes

edt oops, I misread who you quoted. Still, though.

[dextire]

Wow, there are some great gifts this year! Definitely no dollar store stuff so far (I know there's a rule and all, but still).

Nice job, Stonewar and Pentegarn!

[Pentegarn]

I was worried the "ransom Xmas note" glue wouldn't hold. Glad it held after all :)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Finally bought my gifts, just need to send them out. Looks like good gifts so far all around.

[Fathom Zero]

I'm disappointed to have not seen Hello Kitty snacks and Floam already.

[Fathom Zero]

Wait, could we use Floam as packaging?

[BatmanJohnson]

Hey if you can figure out the logistics of using floam as packaging more power to you.

[captain516]

Just mailed my package.

[Ozzie]

I got drunk and broke my helicopter already.

[Pentegarn]

2 weeks, 2 days, as long as you did it in 2 right? :P

[poppers620]

i got my secret santa package in the mail today! Thanks Ozzie! Will post pics probably tomorrow.

[executioneer]

i got a note on friday saying its at the PO and im sorry im sorry im sorry secret santana i havent sent out yet :( DONT WORRY IT WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT

[Zhukov]

Well I got my secret Santa present that I sent out BACK to me. Didn't get past quarantine after all, I think it was the liquor that I didn't declare.

Still, it looks like it was a good thing it came back because I could look what other people sent and I added stuff to it to make it not shit.

I hope it wont be late, sorry :\

[Babs]

Mailed mine yesterday.

[Zomboid]

Well I got my secret Santa present that I sent out BACK to me. Didn't get past quarantine after all, I think it was the liquor that I didn't declare.

I hope you're my secret santa.

[stonewar]

Way to call your secret santa cheap. :rolleyes

edt oops, I misread who you quoted. Still, though.

No you are right. I admit it. I bought it for $.01
The memory chip that i had buy separately however....

[Microshock]

I bought the stuff today, i'll send it out either tomorrow or tuesday

[captain516]

Not again

[Nick]

I have almost all of mine, I could send it out now, but then someone would be short a gift.

[Zhukov]

Personally I wouldn't mind getting something after Christmas. Someone has to spend some extra dollars to send it here and I'm grateful for that.

[Microshock]

Thanks Captain for the load, sorry you had to spend so much for shipping. I'll send you a pm about some of the products

[captain516]

got my gift from DonkeyRyan today.. I won't be opening 'till the weekend though.
Thanks a lot for sending me something!

[lumpisan]

[lumpisan]

So the comics i got were brpd issue 1 (hellboy) tales of the corp issue one of three (green lantern) and roger rabbits toontown circa 1991 (must say was ammusing to see the old gameboy adverts). But i gotta say my favorite was punisher batman
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c399/lumpisan/004.jpg

[lumpisan]

so hard to resist the urge to take out of the box and play with it.... he loks like hes made to fight megatron with snake eyes i mean look at all those points of articulation
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c399/lumpisan/005.jpg

[BatmanJohnson]

Awesome thanks! I honestly almost Kept batman, he looks so damned awesome.

[DonkeyRyan]

got my gift from DonkeyRyan today.. I won't be opening 'till the weekend though.
Thanks a lot for sending me something!

You're welcome! I don't know how you can do that, it would be killing me. haha

[dextire]

Are those really strawberry Andes? I've had the cherry ones, never heard of strawberry ones before.

Very nice gifts, BatmanJohnson! You have indeed given me a cardiovascular workout for my currency.

[BatmanJohnson]

Lol, nicely put.

[captain516]

Weird...I have a Batman vs. Punisher comic too, but it's a completely different cover with another Batman. Did they make a sequel? And Ryan-the wait makes it better. Edit: I like your new avatar dextire. you should make one for every seasonmonth.

[BatmanJohnson]

I don't know if it was a sequel, but I know the one you are talking about. I own that one issue too. Dextires avatar is cool. Also they were cherry andes.

[dextire]

... also a sharpie

That my friend is no mere Sharpie. It is in fact a Sharpie Mini Marker Key Chain! Now wherever you go, you have access to a Sharpie.
Be sure to wield your new found power wisely.

Glad you guys like the new avatar. It's the result of 30 minutes until Doc Mock started. :)

[BatmanJohnson]

I have literally a couple dozen of those sharpies. I love them so convenient for a little graffiti.

[executioneer]

OK SO WHO ELSE STILL HASNT SENT A GIFT OUT :(

ps i have them all packaged up i just gotta get to the postal office dont have a conniption

[executioneer]

SENT. also package recieved, will post pictrues soonish

[executioneer]

http://www.angriestmonster.com/blarg/pile.jpg
HERE IS A PILE THAT WAS IN A BOX

http://www.angriestmonster.com/blarg/licensedcandies.jpg
I GOT SOME LICENSED CANDIES

http://www.angriestmonster.com/blarg/imnotatoddler.jpg
I GOT SOME KIDS STUFF

http://www.angriestmonster.com/blarg/corkies.jpg
I GOT A THING TO MAKE MY OWN COOKIES :(

http://www.angriestmonster.com/blarg/seconddegreeburns.jpg
I GUESS I CAN'T GIVE MYSELF SECOND DEGREE BURNS WITH THIS THOUGH RIGHT :P

thanks poppers number i cant remember dude! i will try and come up with funny picture stories later (warning: i may not fit all the presents in(ONLY PLANNING ON USING THE COOKIE MAKER THING ATM))

[Zhukov]

I wish I had that New Moon chocolate. I would trade it to a girl at work for a kiss. :(

[executioneer]

they're kind of like cadbury creme eggs, only the shell is actually as thin as an egg so they break and run all over the place very easily. plus the stuff inside is also closer to a raw egg's consistency. which is weird because they are shaped NOTHING like an egg

[executioneer]

also they only taste about half as good

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just sent mine out yesterday.

[dextire]

Great haul, Executioneer! Dare I ask how the Krabby Patties taste?

I like how the Gingerbread Men thing boasts "Lots of Candy."
I have no idea what kind of candy you'll get, but you'll get lots of it. :)

[BatmanJohnson]

Can't wait cookies always make for epic stories.

[executioneer]

Great haul, Executioneer! Dare I ask how the Krabby Patties taste?

I like how the Gingerbread Men thing boasts "Lots of Candy."
I have no idea what kind of candy you'll get, but you'll get lots of it. :)
they tasted allright, i guess. i was too mad at the level of overpackaging to really notice. and the only way i'd count the candy amount inside the gingerbread men as "lots" would be if you counted the total number of pieces (including sprinkles)

[executioneer]

OH WHOOPS I FORGOT TO MAIL AN INPORTANT PART OF MY SECRET SANTA GIFT, FUG

guess i gotta send another one :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol I completely forgot to put a card in mine. Somebody's going to be playing the guessing game.

[dextire]

YES! My Christmas package arrived today!
I'll hopefully get a chance to open it up tomorrow and check it out, as well as take pictures.

Thanks, MarioRPG! This is great!

[BatmanJohnson]

My mom called to tell me my package was at my house, unfortunately as I am a college student, I won't get it until Sunday when I see my mom. Sorry Secret Santa.

[MarioRPG]

Dextire, awesome! I hope you enjoy each and everything I sent you. Including the envelope. That's like 40% of the gift. (Kidding, obvs)

To the person who sent to me, HOLY CRAP. I received a huge and heavy box. I haven't opened it yet because...

The bad news. I'm so sick today. Only managed to crawl to my computer after 7 hours of laying on the couch. I'll get them pictures up in the next week.

[Nick]

Mine has been shipped, it should be there in 6/7 days.

[The Leader]

OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT EVER COULD THIS BE? :eek

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s152/Leader1977/001.jpg
WHY IT IS A BOX!

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s152/Leader1977/002.jpg
<3

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s152/Leader1977/003.jpg
This magnet is one of the greatest gifts that I have ever received, but there's more!

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s152/Leader1977/004.jpg
SHIRTS, WHAT A COINCIDENCE BECAUSE I WEAR SHIRTS!

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s152/Leader1977/005.jpg
I wanted to put one of them on my dog because pictures of animals dressed up like people are funny but for some reason he got really angry and bit me so I punched him in the head and kicked him a few times and then put the shirt on him. I think that it looks nice.

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s152/Leader1977/006.jpg
How did you know? :tear

[dextire]

You got some great stuff there, Leader! That Al Gore card is awesome. :)

I have friends from out of town coming to stay with me, and they are taking me out tonight for my birthday.
So unfortunately, I won't be able to open the package and take pictures tonight like I was hoping.
I'll definitely be able to do it this weekend though.

Wow, are you people ever giving out some good gifts this year!
From what I've seen, this may be the best Christmas (at least in terms of cool gifts) ever!

[Zomboid]

Hope ya enjoy the stuff. I wanted to make sure that I got the right size, so I asked 10k to ask ya. You seemed cynical enough to appreciate Onion merch. Their magnets are indeed awesome.

[The Leader]

You've made this the best Christmas ever!!!!

[Babs]

THAT IS SO CUTE

[Ozzie]

I'm still waiting to see whether or not poppers620 enjoys my COMPLETELY uninteresting present. I can only hope that their delay in posting photos is because they've been enjoying it too much to take pictures.

[MarioRPG]

So I peeked at my gifts, and they all rock :rock
I don't think I'll be making a story this year, but I'll definitely enjoy the presents! Thanks for the bounty of Christmas Joy secret santa! (who will be revealed later, unless they want to do it themselves.)

[Mockery]

You don't have to post a story, but yeah everybody's gotta post pictures of what they received. Awesome gifts so far this year guys!

[Zhukov]

Awesome gifts! I'm really impressed with the generosity/showing off from everyone.

[Sam]

:lol just wait til you see what Bill got

[BatmanJohnson]

I can't wait until tomorrow!!! I want my secret santa gift.

[Babs]

POST PICTURES NOW!!! GOD DAMN I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MY BITCH TO POST PICTURES OF MY SHIT!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Going to put mine up when I get home. I just GOT IT and its pretty funny.

[executioneer]

attn: my secret santa person- if you get a smaller priority mail envelope first don't open it unless you want SPOILERS to what is in the big box

-willie

[Mockery]

I'm still waiting to see whether or not poppers620 enjoys my COMPLETELY uninteresting present. I can only hope that their delay in posting photos is because they've been enjoying it too much to take pictures.
She told me to let you know that she had a family emergency come up, but she'll have the pictures posted sometime this weekend and she was really happy with what you sent.

[captain516]

What did I get from my Secret Santa?
Well, there was the letter (what pretty handwriting)
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4179750297_aa5bcd5914.jpg


There was white popcorn (which was tasty)
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2622/4179750221_1b15a99717.jpg

and Wacky Packages (which weren't)
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2658/4180512284_bc71b7a01b.jpg


There was an action figure of Conan O'Brien (which, believe it or not, was for ages 18 and over)
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/4180512382_73bd436583.jpg

And there was the greatest cartoon of all time
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2795/4179750329_2acfc7427b.jpg

Thanks again for the gifts DonkeyRyan! Merry Christmas!

And if anybody cares, here's the rest of the Wacky Packages
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4006/4180512324_77a4e1e6c3_o.jpg
My favorite has to be the NKOTB one :lol

[DonkeyRyan]

Glad you liked the stuff! Merry Christmas! (Wow, I didn't even put that on the letter haha)

[Pentegarn]

Boy the Wacky Packages stickers take me back

[lumpisan]

I have literally a couple dozen of those sharpies. I love them so convenient for a little graffiti.

[Sam]

[BatmanJohnson]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/150839.jpg

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

So I had two secret santas this year. I've gotten one package so far which contained:
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0325.jpg
I opened the Grinch and found:
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0330.jpg
At first I was all like:
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0331.jpg

Then I noticed there was a prize inside which I found this:
A BAG O DRUGS!!!!!http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0336.jpg

PURE COLUMBIAN COCAINE BITCHES
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0337.jpg
OH YEAH
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0338.jpg
I don't do drugs so I didn't know what to do with them so I just a few things:
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0339.jpg
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0340.jpg
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0341.jpg


After all that I realized it was actual pancake mix. THANK YOU BABALITY PANCAKES!!!!!!

[Babs]

Now think about your dad

THERE'S PRIZES INSIDE YOUR COCAINE/PANCAKE MIX THERE! SHOW THEM NOW!

[Babs]

PS. I'm pretty sure you're getting ANOTHER package of goodies.

[captain516]

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

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:lol I didn't even see the rest in the packaging:
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0343.jpg
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/DSCN0344.jpg

Did you reseal the bag AND the box? I'm really glad you said something about it. I was going to throw the Bisquik in the snow. Thank you for saving Christmas Babs.

[Pentegarn]

That DVDs in resealed Bisquick gag was a freaking good piece of business Babality Pancakes! Well done!

And 10K, when I saw what you did with the pacake mix I laughed so hard I hurt the ears of the person I was on the phone with :lol

[BatmanJohnson]

Hmmmm? A package!!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/1.jpg

But wait I can't open this yet. I need something.... FESTIVE!!!1

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/2.jpg

The most festive shirt I own! The Krampus shirt! To remind all of you to behave or else Krampus. Will beat you with sticks and stick you in his bag.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/3.jpg

NOT GRUMPASAUR!! My archenemy! Well not really more of a plush dino friend.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/4.jpg


Damn you GRUMPASAUR!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/5.jpg

Well at least someone is enjoying my presents.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/6.jpg

What is this? BATTLEFIELD EARTH!!! THE SINGLE GREATEST JOHN TRAVOLTA MOVIE EVER.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/7.jpg
The sheer awesome of this movie caused my eyes to begin glowing red!!!

While I was marveling over the awesomeness of Battlefield Earth, Grumpasaur continued looting my package.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/8.jpg
Whats this????? A BLIND BOX FUTURAMA TOY????? How does my secret santa know me so well? Let's see what is in the box!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/9.jpg
Everyone's favorite alien newscaster! MORBO!!! Complete with vein cream! That is good I was worried he wouldn't be able to take care of his veins!

Grumpasaur Discovered my next present.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/ss.jpg

Munchkin!!!11



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/ss2.jpg
I had been contemplating buying this for awhile, my Secret Santa did the Deciding for me!!

I decided to pose to remind Grumpasaur who the presents were for.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/10.jpg

This turned out to be be a very bad decision. As Grumpasaur knocked me out.....


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/11.jpg

And stole my Festive shirt...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/13.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/12.jpg

GRRRRRRUMMMPPPPPAAAAASSSAAAAUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRR !!! DAMN YOU!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v362/Bhawke/16.jpg

[dextire]

And the awesome gifts just keep coming! :)

I very much liked the stories guys! However, I have a question for you BatmanJohnson, who was your Secret Santa?! :confused:

[kakumei]

i keep checking the USPS website to track my package, and it seems like two notices have been left for my person. i'm starting to worry-- i really hope they get their present soon... it would be a shame if they didn't get it!

[BatmanJohnson]

I assume 10,000 volt ghost, as It says it's from Buffalo. A big thank you to Ghost.

[Babs]

The Battlefield Earth present is probably the best of all. That is amazing, I can't even comprehend it. You made out pretty good Batman and was entertaining seeing your ass kicked by that green thing that has that look of anguish.

[Babs]

:lol I didn't even see the rest in the packaging:

Did you reseal the bag AND the box? I'm really glad you said something about it. I was going to throw the Bisquik in the snow. Thank you for saving Christmas Babs.

Yes I did by the way. Resealed it all big tittie bay bay style.

PS. There was a prize inside sticker placed onto that fancy box of pancakes.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I saw the sticker...I just thought it was part of the ploy of pancake mix.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I assume 10,000 volt ghost, as It says it's from Buffalo. A big thank you to Ghost.

You are correct sir. Hope you like them. :)

[captain516]

Love the Krampus shirt.

[poppers620]

sorry for the delay on posting pics.... but I got my secret santa package from Ozzie!!!

http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/103/l_791c66f3c97d4df2ba1583cc74d27c49.jpg


I got quite a few wrapped presents! SO EXCITING!!!!

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/47/l_46b630ac90064f6c820c8e348a17c7a6.jpg


And I also got this nice letter:

http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/74/l_96d7c899111d4a96b9fe7d5e2cd37e5d.jpg

My favorite quote in the letter: "This is essentially a group of movies I want you to dislike and deride." My kind of movies indeed (especially when it comes to horror)!!!


Package 1:

http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/98/l_d10ae0a0998c45b9a4addcb5b78e2688.jpg

First off, I know Ozzie was worried I wouldn't like these movies or already own them, well I am going to be honest. I DO already have Cabin Fever, but this is one of my favorite horror movies ever. It's so bad its AWESOME. I swear to god I really love it, and I am way excited because now I have a copy I can keep at my family's vacation home. I love the fact I will always have Cabin Fever only an arms reach away from me.

Package 2:

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/97/l_6f65eecd741c4b23b4a9e1d6219407a6.jpg

I have never seen or heard of Evil Remains, but the back actually claims its scarier than Cabin Fever, so I am sold. I look forward to making Rog watch this with me while Re pretends to work on her laptop and not pay attention. It looks quality. I bet it would make a good double feature with Blown Away, eh Rog? ;)

Package 3:

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/92/l_7f48408cfc26492e92f8235b8d4b80b2.jpg

Dreams in the Witch House from Masters of Horror... heard of it, but haven't seen it. Look forward to checking it out, I am a huge fan of Stuart Gordon!


Package 4:

The Bad Seed AND The Abominable Dr. Phibes (!!!). OK, this is plain awesome. I have seen both, but its been awhile, and these movies were both on my list of films I wanted to buy for my collection.

Thanks so much Ozzie! This was a great haul! Words cant even express how thrilled I was that you included Cabin Fever haha

You are correct sir. Hope you like them. :)


Oh yes! I love them!!!! I'll be doing this again next year! Thanks again.

Glad you enjoyed the flicks, poppers. Cabin Fever was added to the pile of movies when I told the friend I was with that I was looking for bad horror movies. He pulled off it the shelf, said "hey, this sucks!" and threw it into my arms. The rest of them were picked out in pretty much the same way, Evil Remains being only slightly more well thought out, since, as you noted, it claims to be even scarier than Cabin Fever.

I figured even if you really hated all of the other horror movies, a Vincent Price classic like Dr. Phibes would redeem the whole pile. Especially in Elmo giftwrap.

I didn't mind Cabin Fever. Especially because of moments like "PANCAKES".
