FORUM EVENT: "I-MOCKERY'S 2012 SECRET SANTA EVENT!"

[stevetothepast]

What's this? A package from United States of America! My word.http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y439/steve_mcgrath1/IMG_1295_zps2cfe78cc.jpg

My Secret Santa for 2012 is none other than 10,000 volt ghost, or as I like to call him Bill.
He even included a little screen shot of SoM, one of my favorite games.

I have to say that the little spoiler from the other page led me to believe bill was my ss.
Here's the loot:

First off some sweet Star Wars Stickers, I love Star Wars so I can't wait to jazz some things up with these.

Next we have a little patch which is quite colorful and would be great on a backpack or napsack but not a carrying bag.

There, much better.

stupid fc twin won't let me play Street Fighter Alpha 2 :(

Bill also tells me there is another gift on the way, so more pics soon.

[Nick]

Aw man those are some awesome gifts, and some even awesomer cats!

[dextire]

Most impressive haul, and that's an awesome Dia de los Muertos patch!
And that's quite a collection of SNES games you have there, Stevetothepast. :xmas1

Something funny did happen with the pillow...

As I was wrapping gifts yesterday, my three dogs (two Collies and a Lab) were rifling through wrapping paper I had on my couch. The pillow was sitting upside down near the paper and one of them knocked it over into the floor.

THEY... WENT... N-U-T-S!

It was like an intruder had entered our home. The face. THE FACE.

I can only imagine it was because the pillow looks so weird and creepy. My two males practically tried to launch their entire bodies at it, with full teeth snarling and vicious howling. I've never seen them act like this before. My poor female... she literally shit herself. Literally. Crap went everywhere; she was so distraught I had to coddle her for twenty minutes afterwards until she calmed down. It was both hilarious and frightening all at the same time.

The gift that keeps on giving? XD

[stevetothepast]

shit happens.

[replicant]

I just want to say I just thought the pillow a bit of an awkward gift. It doesn't fit my sense of humor. I am happy others find it funny. I am ultimately in agreement with Roger. I am not coming down on you Snoogans - you met the rules. I just personally think it's fun to have a variety for having fun with shooting purposes etc. Maybe Thanos needs to take the pillow on an adventure (like the travel gnome)? :) lol I dunno.

There's an alien in the house, George and the dog shit itself. Call the police Martha! LOL! Dogs are so weird. lol

[replicant]

Steve, you have gorgeous kittehs!!! I have 3 of my own. I inherited one when I was just happy with two. lol But they are gorgeous!

[The_Punk_Hippie]

So, uhh, euphorixlost, are you going to be able to post pictures soon? I've been looking forward to seeing what you got in those eggs :)

[Ex Leper]

According to the site it costed him 30 bucks to make. :eek

[euphorixlost]

Sorry for the delay! Protoclown is to blame for my pictures being horribly late here. I didn't open the kinder eggs until I brought them home later to devour (actually, half of this candy is gone now!) and I will have to grab pics of the toys inside when I am home again in the next couple days. One had this cool top with reversible arms and the other had a cute woodland creature with a fuzzy tummy!

Anyway, onward to the pictures!

I really liked the paper it came in! Very cool (:

http://imgur.com/rV3pYhttp://i.imgur.com/rV3pY.jpg

And the box was full of MANY TINY BOXES! I was impressed that every little thing in here was wrapped ^.^

http://imgur.com/O3Ch6http://i.imgur.com/O3Ch6.jpg

Also, I am sorry that the Kool-Aid Man interrupted your letter - though it was hilarious to try and piece together what the letter was meant to say!

http://imgur.com/DlJHthttp://i.imgur.com/DlJHt.jpg

A final photo with the spread of awesome! A fantastic selection of candy here, plus a super-cool Jack Skellington figure and a pin, too! I loved the bat finger puppet - he's really cute. And the tiny rainbow clay and paint set were very cool, too!

Thank you so much, The Punk Hippie! (:

[The_Punk_Hippie]

Aww, you fixed the Jack Skellington - he was packaged upside-down from the factory, which I thought added to the awesomeness

hahaha, I actually had a whole letter planned out around what I wrote, except for the first part. (it was mostly nonsense, but that's neither here nor there XD)

I've heard that you can't get Kinder Eggs in your country, so I figured I should spread the addiction ;D
Not sure about the kool-aid flavour I sent (it's rare apparently), so ditto for that :)

Oh, & I blame my mother for my obsession with wrapping everything - my favourite part of christmas was always the stocking, & my mom wrapped EVERYTHING in it XD

This is the perfect opportunity to get more pics out of your gift!

[dextire]

Very nice haul! You can't get Kinder Eggs here because they're illegal (no really, they carry a $2,500 fine per egg).

And so we have another very successful Secret Santa event! :xmas2
I probably won't be able to be on until after the 26th, so Merry Christmas everyone! :xmas3

[darkvare]

what the why are the eggs ilegal?

[Nick]

I wouldn't got the pillow, but to each his own. He coulda got some pretty great junk for that dosh. All and all, this year has been pretty great.

[dextire]

what the why are the eggs ilegal?
Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Eggs#Prohibition_on_sale_or_import_into_the _United_States): In 2012 the FDA re-issued their import alert stating “The imbedded non-nutritive objects in these confectionery products may pose a public health risk as the consumer may unknowingly choke on the object.”
And a recent news story (http://www.komonews.com/news/offbeat/Seattle-men-busted-at-Canadian-border-with-illegal-candy-162685596.html). :lol

[BatmanJohnson]

Way to go Punk! Breaking the law in the name of christmas!

[The_Punk_Hippie]

hahaha, I didn't know they were actually illegal! That's hilarious/sad/worrysome XD

Some sweet SNES stickers.

I actually do not even own Mega Man X or Breath of Fire, but now I have an excuse to buy them!

I used to own earthbound but sold it, and now the price is so inflated I'll probably not get it again >:

Thanks again bill!

[Nick]

Awesome SNES stickers, that's awesome.

Also euphorixlost: Great haul! However, from those gloves of yours I'm beginning to suspect you're a homeless woman (or a sticky bandit) that Protoclown hired off the street to pretend to be his girlfriend.

This is a brilliant idea & I must do it next year in order to get more presents!!!

[Mockery]

I can think of no better way to end the 2012 Secret Santa event than learning that our final recipient got illegal Kinder eggs as part of their gift package. Okay, well maybe if we had footage of Thanos' dogs freaking out over the pillow, but other than that, I can think of no better way.

Thanks again to all our participants this year for meeting your deadlines and making our latest Secret Santa event go off without a hitch.

Also, a HUGE thanks to 10,000 Volt Ghost for running the event once again and keeping track of everything. Without you, this event simply wouldn't work out so well year after year.

Happy holidays all! :xmas3

[Nick]

Merry Christmas, guys.

[replicant]
