not that I disagree, but how do you value handmade items like the poo poo/piss box

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
I must amend my post for this year: we have only one cat now, our sweet boy Simon passed away suddenly Thursday night :(

are you that mainframe hacker guy?

Whoa, I almost missed the cutoff! Ok, I'm in again this year!

I like retro, cyberpunk stuff and especially IT security historical poo poo (yes, on YOSPOS I'm a turbo nerd idgaf)

Last year my cool as hell santee got me a bunch of these in frames, and they proudly sit in my office and are the talk of the town:


Other than that I enjoy retro gaming, Windows 98, card games etc. I also have two kids, 5 yo and 9 months, they like paw patrol and transformers rescue bots. I also have a dog, he's fat and old.

I'm dumb and don't remember my Santees or Santas but if it helps my case I've got a teething 9 month crying in my arms so I'm a little punchy.

cutoff is tuesday 11/15 so figured I'd send out assignments wednesday or as soon as I get them randomized. also not sure if it makes sense to add myself into the mix (since it should be randomized) or if that just ruins it by knowing my santa.

if you don't want to know who your santa is make two lists of posters, give the list with you in it to one of your elves, make them randomize it and hand out assignments

ugh gently caress I guess I'm in again this year even though I'm pretty sure my present came in may or something this year

my santees previously have been:
- 2011 tom collins: I bought him liquor and he talked forever
- 2012 I got ~Coxy: I got him a map of the us with yosposters on it
- 2015 jwoven - I made a laptop puzzle box stand out of some local eucalyptus wood

this year I probably won't have time to make something custom but I guess we will see? I also have the YOSPOS BIRCH but it's a giant pain in the rear end to ship

things I like:
space, meteorology, dumb fidgety things I can put on my desk, candies from far off lands, packages that arrive

I've got two boys who are 3.5 years and 8 months old who also love space

I guess christmas is going to be so depressing this year that it's time to sign up for every SASS thing

I like dogs, old stupid computer stuff, hobby electronics and battery operated trinkets

I signed up. I like food, books, games, science stuff, booze, and computery things. I'm going to be out of town over christmas so don't send me anything alive because the package will be sitting around for a little while.

i like funny computer stuff, candy, interesting books, sci fi, and any kind of handmade stuff

mailing alcohol here is probably not a good idea and i may be away for a week around christmas so nothing very perishable

i participated last year and received a cornucopia of amazing gifts which is more than i ever deserve

I rarely include any real funny computer stuff.

I'm hoping I will be able to paint this year. Not sure if I'll be able to cause I'm getting the metal taken out of my formally broken thumb.

If a lurker can enter (I've posted <10 posts this year and 90% of them in cat thread) then I'll join again!

In 2012 my santee was Jimmy Carter

In 2014 I sent some contraband to vanillaslimfast

I'm reposting my 2014 participation because it's mostly the same this time:

quote:

I skipped last year but I'd like to participate on this years festivities. However, my posting to 'POS during this year can be described as scarce/nonexistent so hopefully my credibility from 2012 / 2014 yosmas still lasts!

My interests have not changed much in two years:
Local food/snacks/candy (if it's not cheese/dairy)
Music
Cookbooks
Local newspaper/magazine
I'm a windows guy up and including Windows 10 Mobile phone. I also do some low-level CJing at my work but my main working software is Excel.
T-shirt size is L I think.


I'm not interested in
alchohol, tobacco, or paraphernalia
mugs or plates

I live with my wife and we have two cats:
Irma Perkele passed away late 2015
Niilo Pielinen (little spoon)
Pörhö-Reetta (big spoon)


1. I work on organic chemistry(oils/lubricants/greases) so some sciencey chem book is always appreciated
2. I play video games so here is my shameful steam profile wishlist: http://steamcommunity.com/id/anqquri/wishlist
