It's also illegal for USPS to open your package unless they suspect a bomb or gun. I do it all the time. Got a few good Cuban rums from gitmo that way.

What's not to like?
Santa, you have big shoes to fill: Getting a box full of peanuts, and then hearing about it two months later on the CS:GO server will be hard to top!
I own a bunch of old lovely 80's 2 stroke bikes, race offroad MX and hoard motorcycles in the name of 'projects'. I just bought an FD (not running like any good rotary), drive a ZJ, when the transmission is not exploding.
Local trinkets or stuff from other parts of the world are cool as poo poo, and I need to fill my walls since my room mate just moved out. Alcohol, tools, automotive or gaming stuff is always welcome! Slight NSFW is okay.

Thanks Santa!!

Going out to buy some random useless junkshiny presents tomorrow, will be shipping early next week. It's going across the pond, so pretty much no matter what I do, it'll arrive sometime after Christmas.

Man, I hate being stranded two days in a row. Something wrong with our ambulance.



Pop the hood. Think the recent maintenance PM is the cause. Mechanics using old parts.



Yeah, just gonna rip those out. Silly mechanics, diesels don't need distributors!



Boxed up, ready to go back to the shop.

I have a box of random crap too, but it's not in the mail yet. I'm still trying to figure out how to keep the 100% Genuine Real Canadian Snow frozen.

E: Also, didn't realize there was a soft limit, but I've gotten a promotion, raise, and christmas bonus recently, so I wanted to share my good fortune. I'm glad I got you as a santee, love the bus and now it should run better.

Looks like the first package was delivered today. Sorry about the lack of card or really much interesting. If I can swing it, I've got something you'll love (not nudes) that I'll try to send as a supplement.

There are collector's edition craftsman ratchets?

Of course there are, and they have the toggle like the older ones instead of that bullshit rotating cap.

Mine have the tri-lobed cap thing that never work unless you pull the socket off and fiddle with the drive until the cap rotates. My father's are from the 70s/80s and have the toggle and still run strong.

E: Dear Santa, on the subject of ratchets... Wera makes a really nice one.

Santee, I apologize for delays, but the package is en route. Wanted to do a two parter but the online retailer I wanted to use doesn't let me use one-time addresses for gifts. But, you'll get a box full of automotive related stuff that I hope you'll enjoy!

That's not an oil leak. That's the automatic oil change and chassis protection feature.

Did Amazon really mail those CR2032 batteries in a regular envelope? Man, they are getting really drat cheap in their packaging.





Why yes, yes they are.

Whoever sent these to me has a good sense of humor.

So, I received... a package.



The bottle came in this really neat airbag jacket, with the box separately. You don't need to slice it up to get in either, which is good.



Aha, an Islay single malt! I recognise the name, but it's not one I've tried.



I'll give it a try later this evening, apparently this is what I have to look forward to.





And it seems this isn't the only thing coming! :iiam:


Seriously, thanks Santa! I have to say, I really wasn't expecting this!


Edit: I have had a tipple, and very nice it is too. I'm not one to :wotwot: about tasting, but there's a gentle underlying smokiness to it, which is my kind of thing. Looking forward to sharing some of it with my friends and my dad over Christmas.
