Glad it all made it! I was a bit worried having read that you can't send tea extract to your place and wasn't sure if that included teabags but figured the amount wouldn't hurt. Instructions for tea (assuming you have no teapot) 1)Put bag in mug 2)Add BOILING water 3)Leave a couple of minutes 4)Remove bag 5)Add milk/sugar to taste (I like mine with milk, no sugar)

 Huzzah a box!  You can uncross your fingers, I haven't read Snuff yet I do have the same habbit of wandering charity shops and picking up books and this sci-fi one looks really good so it's next on my "to read" pile. Not sure which of the Top Gear books you were reffering to as being like page 15 so I'm assuming both simultaniously.  I would have liked to have seen the event and recovery of the 2 failed roller bearings, "screaching and fire" is the best failure mode. I was spinning the other bearings before reading the note.  Love this movie and now I've delicious toffee to eat whilst watching it  Might have taken me an embassing amount of time to work out the "3x craps hidden in wrapping" joke Thanks Cakesmith!

Yay! You're welcome. Of note those two metal bearing rollers are from the same set, so they started out the same size.

A package! Suspicious stains...  Loot!  Whisky-barrel finished beer!  I got a random car stuff from O'Reilly: including a couple of calendars, a sticker, a beer cozy. A license plate frame from Racing Integration.com, a couple of pseudoSA grenade stickers, a Mazda emblem, and a lanyard from something called FL2K. Even nicer, a Streamlight flashlight! I needed that! And nicest of all, that is a serious, serious looking beer. I'll need to select only the finest of football to pair with it. Thanks Santa, whoever you are! e. I just figured out oh, hey, that is a road sign branded beer! It's thematically appropriate!

Fl2k is a 2000ft drag race held once a year in central florida. The lanyard and license plate frame were freebies a couple buddies brought back and gave me. I have another one of the lanyards I'm using currently. The spirit of oreillys calander is normally given out to employees and the first call is given out to shops every year in december. The fist call one has some pretty awesome cars in it. The sticker and beer coozy are generic swag we have around for giving out for whatever reason we decide is good enough. Unfortunately I couldn't get my hands on the magnetic version. Those little streamlights own. The one I gave a buddy a year ago took over from my normal retractable shop light due to awesomeness. Nice and bright and perfect size for holding in your teeth while working on stuff. The beer is neat. Its from a local brewery thats set up in an old mechanics shop. Thats their special 1 year anniversery brew that was aged in whiskey casks from a local whiskey distiller called Wild Buck. They age them down in the old inspection pits that they sealed off and keep temperature controlled. I have yet to have a beer from marker 48 I didn't like. The mazda logo happened to be a leftover from when I got drunk and ordered a bunch of stickers to put on my 6 wagon shortly after I got it, but I accidentally ordered one for a mazda 3 (I am the worst parts guy when it comes to my own poo poo apparently). I figured it could take the part of broken junk, since all I have handy is some trashed main bearings from a 350 somewhere in the garage (assuming I could get to that part of it). Oh, and the grenade stickers got added into our stock literally 2-3 weeks before I sent that out. I kinda had to send 'em along. All this should have been in a letter, but I'm dumb and forgot to include it. Hope you enjoy the beer and flashlight fellow mazda wagon buddy.  Edit: Leperflesh posted:e. I just figured out oh, hey, that is a road sign branded beer! It's thematically appropriate! Actually, its a boat analogy. The sign is a channel marker used when boating. You keep the red markers on your right side when returning to port to remain in the channel so you can avoid stuff like shallow sections, rocks and other obstructions. Though its still a pretty AI beer given where and how its made. Elmnt80 fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Hey thanks mister popper, yeah it's a great gifty package. I just took a look and the employee calendar has all these corporate dates in it, and random motivational phrases and stuff, it's pretty funny. This streamlight seems perfect for car work. And my beer is an individually numbered bottle!

I'd just been woken up by my dogs barking their faces off. You seriously drove here from Tiverton?  I feel like a jerk for not inviting you in.Thanks helno, this is great. So, I'm working nights this weekend and thusly was having a nap when my dogs start their "THERE'S A PERSON AT THE DOOR PERSON AT THE DOOR PERSON AT THE DOOR BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK," routine. I quickly threw on some clothes and went downstairs to find a very not-goony-looking fellow at the door with a large and heavy package. It was awkward for a moment when I decided to step out and close the door so I could hear him over my dogs, but with a hasty merry christmas my santa delivered his package and went on his merry way (you're lucky, helno, my street was plowed only this morning). I kinda feel like an rear end for not inviting him in, but I do hope he heard the merry christmas I replied with. Anyways, onto the haul because I am a literal manchild and would not even consider waiting until the 25th.  Something bulges from within...  A nice letter typed up by a swell Santa who got me a box of cool stuff:  Said box of cool stuff:  helno, joke's on you, my dad's like half german and half dutch and my mom's like half german and half scottish, so this took me like 10 seconds. Apparently the rags are ones 14 Inchmortan Joe used when he was but a wee little 13, and may contain bodily fluids.  Also, I'm certain that jbweld can fix this. Small engine parts are adorable and I will have to figure out a good place to showcase these.  Movies that I am totally going to watch (actually watched Insidious last week). Along with mint wafers that I have not been able to locate since taking the picture, though my breath feels minty. Along for the ride are a Neustadt 10W30, which is actually a beer I don't get to enjoy nearly often enough, and a 456, which is one I haven't tried. I once went to the Neustadt brewery, neat little operation they have going on there.  Last and certainly not least because I am going to wear the poo poo out of these.  TEQ 4 LYFE.

Metal Geir I am terrible and haven't sent out package two with its more personalized items. I'll try to get it out today now that I got this box from helno that all your gifts fit into perfectly. Sadly I was informed that the exportation of Genuine Canadian Snow was banned by the Snow Export Act of 1893 so I figured out some last-minute item to fill the gap left by it.

2nd package out, should arrive on the 23rd or 24th (if USPS delivers on the 24th), metal geir. Hopefully they don't try to stiff you on customs, it's marked as a gift but the ladies at the post office insisted I make the total declared value $100, especially since the shipping cost more than the contents.

Adiabatic - package received by a wife confused by the ominous jingling. Will post pictures and whatnots later. Edit: The spoils! Got a call that a package came and that it was clanky and jingly. Said it was from Virginia. I eventually arrived home to find...goats?  No matter. What's inside? Um, stuff? It appears to be a fan, a shirt, and a smattering of Virginia foliage.  Now we're getting somewhere. I spy some change, some brass, a box, and a shop towel   Official package inspector checking out the Badger Ball.  A box of doodads. It's a kit for something but I'll be damned if I know what. This should keep my occupied for a while   BALL  A loving amazing shirt  A fan from the van I assume? This will definitely go up in the garage.  The haul:  Definitely a kick-rear end box of stuff. Thanks Adiabatic!

As I was shoveling my driveway on yet another cold midwestern morning with overnight snow, I noticed a package on my doorstep. I don't remember expecting anything to show up, so I had a hunch that Christmas itself was inside that box. I hauled rear end to finish shoveling and then hurriedly brought my prize indoors. Still frosty.  Hmm, well packed.  Various mysteries lurked inside:   The full haul:  A sweet hat which I'm currently wearing, some tasty gummie bears that have been confirmed tasty, coasters, a book about dead people in ice, some star wars swag, a license plate to add to the garage collection, a safety bumper sticker, and a card. There's so much here that I'm still checking it all out.  Next, the NSFW box tempted me the most, and since my wife wasn't home so I figured I should hurry while that was still the case. The side of the box said it was a flashlight or something, so I thought it was just a goon being funny. Instead, it was a goon being goddamn hilarious.   Also included some spark plugs from my big brother truck. After that, I was scared to open the mystery bag.  Buuuuuuuut I did. And glad I did.  Some awesome stickers, a flasher (?), a bitchin' Ramones pin, and a very AI motorcyclist post card. According to the card, the wrapped gift was something sweet, so I saved it for last.   Time to try my hand at playing helicopter pilot!Thanks so much angryrobots! This made my day after I was pissed to wake up to shoveling snow. Merry AISS-mas to you!

You're welcome! I love my cheap r/c helis. They are a great stress reliever and very sturdy, you can and will crash the hell out of it, but they are also very controllable once you get the hang of it. I don't have that model and it took all my self control to not open and fly it. (The water gun dong was left over from a bachelorette party my wife went to. Figured it was a good chance to get rid of it. I'm sorry. )
