and I am LOVING IT!! Oh God What Is This "This" is punishment for your many crimes in the form of Something Awful Secret Santa  , in which you are nice to mods for a change, anonymously if you must. And in turn, someone else is nice to you, possibly even before we are all annihilated in thermonuclear hellfire! This will only occur if, after registering, the /profile page says you are good to go. If it does not say you will be assigned, you will not be assigned on Dec 1. How does this all work then? Well, you answer some simple questions on a form (honestly), demonstrate that you are the SA user you claim to be via an automated system, and then on December 1 (at some point - or possibly December 2 if you're in one of the weird timezones) you will be assigned someone to give a present to. Someone else will be assigned you, in turn. I can't afford to send to the weird timezones! That's okay - you can opt out of receiving an international santee. Just select the appropriate option when you're filling out the form. I've had the firehose of horror from news outlets and twitter turned on my face full blast this entire year and no longer have any capacity to imagine things or care for myself. What do I send? I don't recommend you compromise your health in order to participate. However, if your doctor/caregiver agrees that this is within your ability, you should send whatever collection of bees or bee products you think your recipient might like! Based on their posts in this thread, elsewhere on SA, and anywhere else you are able to e-stalk them in a non creepy way. e: even if they say they do, they probably do not like cat vomit. Awesome! I've been talking about how I want a new TV for ages! Easy killer, you should expect to receive something worth between $0 and $20. Even if you can, not everyone can afford to send the big stuff. Please sir, I am of modest means but a capable chandler and soa Yes thank you, handmade items own, definitely send them. They are often among the best received! No, you misunderstand, I'm not sending my stuff. I want to dropship something cheap from amazon or whatever nearer my santee to not pay shipping from Uzbekistan. That's fine, but I strongly recommend you send a postcard or something remotely personal in addition. Receiving a mystery $2 plastic toy doesn't feel that awesome by itself. My santee got banned! It's not 1:1 with SA. If they did something egregious let me know, but that usually doesn't happen. I need the bee paper. I NEED IT okay, chill, jeez, http://i.imgur.com/PTqJscN.png shut UP already where do I sign up JEEZ it's TLS enabled this year!  https://sass.operationcitadel.net/I have important but personally embarrassing questions regarding putting my contacts on my pets' eyes. This doesn't sound like my area of expertise, but you can PM me or email santa@operationcitadel.net. Maybe soon there will even be an in-site help thing! Who knows!

In for the...12th year? oh my. Edit: Looking forward to stalking my santee. To my santa: I love birds and words. I'm super into maps, chocolate, spicy sauces and foods, astronomy and physics, artists like Cindy Sherman, strange but well done art, and I have an Amazon list if you're in a rush. artichoke fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Nov 17, 2017 |

Yay it's happening again! 5th year this year and it's been nothing but amazing this whole time. I can't wait! Edit: Santa: I am a 29 year old Dutch lady . I live with my boyfriend and our catte. I like all things Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. I also really like sports, like watching them, mostly American Football, soccer and tennis. I would love to see some of your culture through foods and souvenirs. Please no NWS or 420 stuff.

I've done this twice over the years and really enjoyed it, signed up again! Thanks for making sure I wasn't a replicant tiaz. Santa: I like birds, gardening, boardgames, folk metal, my favorite videogame series is Borderlands, and I have pet rats. Hopefully that's enough info, but [if there is still a messaging system on the SASS site] you can message me for more. Happy SASSing everyone! E: My shirt size is XL. And NSFW stuff is OK as it's just me and the husband at our place. Dear Santee: I am in Florida now, so you might get bath salts if you don't give me any good ideas to go on.

I'm an impatient rear end in a top hat who checked the website yesterday before it was ready. But now it's live, and I'm registered and only a regular rear end in a top hat. I haven't posted much this year, but maybe I can get my nuts on the table before Santa starts peeking at my post history.

Dear Satan: I'm a 29-year-old goonette. Things I like: - Jigsaw puzzles, especially the White Mountain brand ones. - UK chocolate. I lovelovelove Cadbury and Nestle stuff that I either can't get here, or I have to go to specialty stores for. - Cats. I have one, and she's a spoiled turd. She doesn't like treats, because she would rather eat clumps of her own hair off the floor. - Shirt size is L - Borderlands (I have all the games and comics, but shirts and car decals are nice.) - Top Gear. (Clarkson/May/Hammond version, not the bullshit US or new cast one) - Things about aviation disasters. Air Disasters = quality TV. I have an Amazon list if that helps. Dear Victim: If you don't give me ideas, you're either going to get a box full of Texas stuff, or something horrible and bizarre, like an overnighted raw iguana from Fiesta or a Polaroid of my gallbladder surgery scars.

Dear Santa, This year I'd like tchotchkes-shot glasses, pint glasses, bobbleheads, beer coozies, christmas ornaments, etc. I'm a huge fan of Fallout, Batman, and the Seattle Seahawks in no particular order. I also collect snowglobes. Make that of what you will. No NSFW or 420 items, please. Dear Santee, I will do my best to get something you'll love!

Ground floor, I'm in. E: Dear Santa, I love you! Thank you for being you! The only thing I really want for chrismas is for you not to be a deadbeat. I've had that happen twice, and it really blows. I hope someone does something very nice for you! Here is a list of things I'm into, in no particular order: -Lovecraft, T.S. Eliot, Kerouac, Shakespeare (don't send books, got plenty) -Weightlifting -Fine alcohol and tobacco -Bizarre yet tasty snacks from your local area -A 50 foot sailboat -Fudge -DIY stuff. -Drawings and other artsy, craftsy poo poo, if you're good at that -Waffle House swag -Spaaaaaaaaaaaace -Fun projects in a box -Fossils -The Church of the Subgenius -Stupid, fun poo poo (last year I got a $1 paddle-ball game. I still play with it) -A nice, handwritten letter -The typical poo poo that goons find interesting -Cool old stuff -iPad 2 (in black, tia) -Deadly, angry bees Please do not send anime or cartoon stuff, and please nothing NSFW.

 Ok adding info to my placeholder image. I am a 31 year old woman. I wear a medium women's shirt and medium leggings. I like: --things for my tablescape, like gems and minerals, fossils, glass orbs, bones, insects encased in resin, tiny bottles, etc. Last year I got an abalone shell and a petrified mushroom, which are very cool. --to read, both fiction (recently read NK Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy and loved it, also liked Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence) and nonfiction (stuff like Sarah Vowell, Bill Bryson, Mary Roach, Mark Kurlansky). I don't watch a ton of tv or movies but I do love Stranger Things. --to do crafts. I am currently into knitting socks so superwash sock yarn would be dope, but I also like hand embroidery and quilting. --to eat candy. I am particularly fond of peppermint and lemon. Feel free to send other snacks, anything I don't like will be given to my husband or coworkers. --cats. I have a bobtail cat named Vesta, and I also volunteer at a cat shelter every Saturday. --brooches and statement necklaces. I have to wear boring scrubs at work so I like to accessorize. Occult imagery, bees and other bugs, and eyeballs are all good. Please do not send: --NSWF/sex stuff (no puntls) --anything with graphic images of gun violence --salt licorice --scented things like candles or lotion. they're a migraine trigger HelloIAmYourHeart fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Nov 16, 2017 |
