Santa came!

Awesome Canucks toque to warm my ice cold ~~heart~~ head this winter, and a Johnny Canuck sticker that is totally going on my car. Both things came today, good timing!

Thank you Santa Captain Geech!

So finals and projects took up way more time than I expected. But Santee, your poo poo is in the mail!

Apologies, I know jackshit about football. So... uh... it all probably sucks real hard. I hope you like it

Holy moly, those things shipped fast.

I felt a bit obliged to help equip a Canucks fan in hostile territory, so I'm glad you like the gifts! Merry Christmas!

I absolutely love them! I had no Canucks gear prior to this, so it makes me super happy to wear the (vintage) team colours with pride. I'm a Vancouver native, born and raised, moved away in 2008. So happy! Thanks so much again!

Wonderllama: Mar 15, 2003

Ordered my Secret Santa some things on Amazon, and it should be there by the 18th.

Feel bad that I didn't go through the rigorous gauntlet of the post office in the holiday season, but made up for it by hopefully giving him one bad and one good thing.

Happy non-denominational holidays, friendo

I got it and it's fuckin dope, but I got home late from work and had to rush out to meet up with some people so I forgot to take a picture of your nice wrapping job, sorry

Good thing I haven't sent my present out yet, you upped the ante pretty hard. Also you have a pretty cool actual name.

Coronet XX posted:

Got my santee's present wrapped and boxed, shipping it off tomorrow. Should be there by Christmas, will get a tracking number. It was the first thing I'd wrapped so far this year, too. Also I'm sorry in advance if you have small children or pets.

It's OK, I don't think he minded too much.

Glad you like it. I was a little worried about pets eating the confetti, but the ~~anime dog~~ corgi looks pretty thrilled with the crinklies. Hope it keeps you warm and cozy!

TMMadman: Sep 9, 2003; Every thousand generations, a perfect child is born, a Goulden Child. He has come to rescue us.

Well, I got my presents ordered and shipped. One part of it might not make it until after Christmas, but I went all out this year and spent a little more than I should have because one thing was just too funny not to get.

I'll keep an eye on the tracking and will be looking forward to my Santee's post.

Got my present packaged and shipped off, due to arrive Monday! Shipping ended up being a little pricier than I thought it would be but the rest of my holiday shopping has been pretty low-budget so whatever. Please post when it gets to you, I was pretty proud of myself.

Alright, Santee. You'll have two boxes arriving - one from Amazon, the other from some eBay seller. They claim they can get there on the 19th or 20th. We shall see.

I think you'll like what you get.

I did. The Bears scarf is pretty awesome. Thanks for both things.

Also, Santee, my stuff should be mailed out by Monday. Hope you'll like them.

So I double hosed up, and did not wrap a gift (ordered online), and included my SA handle on the "gift card".

It's neither secret nor Santa, and I'm ashamed.

BrooklynBruiser: Aug 20, 2006; Oh my god. The microchip has been compromised.

Santee, I've gotten your present and I'll be wrapping/repackaging it and sending it off to you tomorrow or the day after!

...I'm such an rear end in a top hat for this gift.

Well...sort of, but not really. But it's still awesome!

I opened the fairly heavy box to discover...!

Amazing! And not just any Watchman...

A White Sox Watchman! gently caress you, The Cubs!

And with a long-rear end antenna, to boot:

Unfortunately, thanks to B. HUSSEIN (actually it's the result of decades of work), TV isn't carried on analog signals anymore, only digital, so I mostly ended up receiving:

But not all was lost! The VHF receiver picked up the local college station, KUCR:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suUtR-dI6xg

And some kind of police scanner:

The only image I found (it actually looked better on the screen than in this photo, you can see the A in the picture though) was something called "AMOR," which I think is a local Spanish station? But I couldn't hear anything.

A pretty awesome collectible, even if I can't watch tiny, tiny black and white TV without buying a converter box. Thanks!

pasaluki: Feb 27, 2008; THIS WHAGON HAS NO BREAKS! I HAVE THE HEART OF THE BUUFALO the strength OF THE MOUNTAIN, THE FURY OF THE THUNDER AND MY WILL IS UNBREAKABLE! I will not surrender to KNOW ONE

So I have a brand new New England Patriots Beach Towel still in its bag to give to a nice Pats fan.

The short story is that it was originally going to kid who is a fan of theirs in my family. After it was purchased the kid revealed he had renounced his Patriots fandom for the Pittsburgh Steelers and had done unspeakable acts like tear Tom Brady posters from his wall.

I just want this towel to go to a loving family, so that its, soft, fluffy cotton fibres will not be reverse-engineered into a twisted terrible towel hybrid.

So has any Patriots fan not received their SAS gift yet?

Well well well, look what showed up on my doorstep today:

As someone who has given a sports gnome as a gift before, I appreciate that I now have my very own to stare at me with his soulless eyes while I root for the Cardinals. Thanks, Mystery Santa!

thanks man it's perfect!

If no deserving SAS goon claims this, I will happily pay shipping to receive this (you don't even have to wrap it). And I will shed a tear for the kid's posters (and dignity, Steelers, really?), taken from us far too soon.
