Could I presumably just go out, get a shitload of Legos, and not be considered a womanchild for just rolling around in Legos?
Because you make me want to amass a collection of shiny plastic toy-things. I mean lookadat! :aaa:

I am hoping the Valentine Lego go over really well, I hope they are fun, amusing and a bit puzzling. I have 4 set aside for JimmyDaFish, Thermophonic Joy, Kafkas Goldfish and Lamb, if anybody else wants one let me know. I have 8 more not spoken for that I will send out, maybe a bit more if I can find a few more pieces.

Yes please! That sounds awesome!

On a related note, has anyone received my cards? I have not heard from anyone (Goon and nongoon alike) and am a bit concerned that the entire box went astray. That will be the last time I drop off a box of rubber band - bound envelopes at the post office.

Wow, that took forever. I mailed those on the 6th or 7th. I stand by what I say. No more boxes and rubber bands. Apparently they slowed down the process...

Whoaw. That is a very long time! If it's helpful, the postmark says 12th December, so I suppose they didn't take off the rubber bands for a few days after you dropped them off. Then they took 16 days to actually deliver them. Gee, you try and help the posties out, and this is how they repay you. Gnerts to that! :colbert:

Oh man, I think that'd be very awesome. I think the goonmailers would be appreciative! Definitely don't give up on the idea.

A Lego Valentine's Day would make Killamajig swoon. He's already grumbling that we didn't get the Lego advent calendar this year.

I got some post cards for Christmas, but they would be better for mother's day and not Valentine's. Hmm.

On Mother's Day, we like to send cards to the mom's of goons in this thread. Sounds like you're all set! :buddy:

edit:

Okay, very sorry I'm late with my thank yous, but better late than never, I hope! Here's the haul of goonmas cheer I received this year. (Pretty sure I thanked Fluffy Bunnies and thepitgoddess already, but if not, thank you for the lovely cards!)

First up is PezMaster, who sent me an awesome goonmas card (containing BEES!), and who's husband made me snort eggnog up my nose with his hilarious colouring of a Christmas turkey. I did eat turkey this year, and I DID think of that picture. Thoroughly creepy.






Next is cardboardRobot! Thank you for the card! It made me think of that absurd Arnold Schwarzenegger christmas movie and feel thankful that I don't watch television very much anymore. Also in this picture, a card from Vixenella and Alkaphanel. Thank you for the adorable snowman card. It's one of my favourites, and I made retarded 'awwwww' sounds when I opened it. :3:





Sorry this picture is blurry for some reason. Thank you to Team Lunch and marlowe can you go for more goonmas cheer! I am obviously moronic about cats, so cat themed christmas cards are about as good as it gets. This cat looks like such a creeper, haha. I love it.





Team Lunch, thank you very very much for the card, and the sweet message inside! We have a very Charlie Brown christmas tree that we bought last year after moving to the province. Being completely broke around Christmas was horrible, and we all pooled our money together for this one sad little two foot tall tree with fiber optic lights. It is pitiful. It didn't have a topper or decorations or anything.

So this year, I took your suggestion to heart and put the little origami T-rex you made me on the top of our tree. Thank you, it's awesome, and it will definitely be a regular fixture on Christmases to come.






Another blurry picture! These two are from cuntvalet and whenworldscollide. Pretty sure that big fat penguin needs to be hugged endlessly by me. The cute little snowman one is from wwc, who also sent me a card for my engagement!




It is lovely. I love it! It's just so pretty... I couldn't stop gushing when I saw it, and I'm sure I was super annoying. whenworldscollide, you are awesome. What more needs to be said? Thank you so much. I am keeping this FOREVER GET AWAY IT'S MINE.


Thank you for all the christmas goonlove, guys! I look forward to sending you mushy, creepy goonentines. :buddy:

I will add him to the list as #11 and ensure he has a Lego Valentines gift. Have you checked out the local Walmart in your area, they had a bunch of the Advent Calendars for close to 50% of or so, might be a bit late now though.

We just went shopping at Target (God you Americans are so lucky, that place is the bee's knees) and picked up a 120 count of crayons and an incredibly stupid Pony colouring book to defile. Also, a poo poo ton of stickers and valentines day cards. :getin:

Tried to find a cheap lego advent calender but there are none to be found. Poor Killamajig. Hopefully the stupid colour books and crayons will make up for it :)

So Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. I went to Target today and bought a bunch of cheapo cards (the best kind) and I'm formulating some ideas for crafty stuff to send with them.

On the Lego Valentines: don't send one to me but I definitely want to see pictures. I can't seem to wrap my mind around what these look like.

Excellent. Oddly enough, I never thought of colouring the pages myself before.

I still have about 300 pages of my Star Wars colouring book left... But I'm not very creative! I don't know!

Ha! Glad you liked it. I think cards like that are really neato. I like the 3D stuff. It's kinda cheesy but nifty too. Blessings, dearie! More is on it's way soon, too. For winter doldrums.

Nic and I loved our Scoobydoo and Invisible Man needlepoints omg you don't event know!

I love all of the cards that were sent and they are currently taking over my living room mantle. I'll be taking a picture soon to share!

Also, considering doing hand made goonentines again this year. Not sure if they'll be VentureTines again or something else!

Thanks to everyone who sent me x-mas cards! I bought two sets of notecards, a stamp, and ink, and I plan to sent out the occasional card over the course of the year (and to people who sent me cards that I didn't respond to yet). It just felt really nice to get so many cards in the mail that I want to keep it up! I think this was asked already, but does anyone know a good place to get those wax envelope seals?
