one time my friend and i sewed together our own skirts and conspiracy t shirts and went to an olive garden at 9:30 AM and ordered six liters of wine and free bread sticks and it was the best day ever
This is my first year doing this, and since I no longer have family to celebrate with, I guess goons are better than nothing.

Santa: I'm a 31 yo genderqueer gay man, so any trans/gay/GQ/aro pride stuff is always good. I live alone with my cat (feel free to include toys for him but he's spoiled enough as is). I'm an artist and also enjoy fishing, cross stitch, cooking, and weight lifting. I like books about weird science stuff and am a chemist according to my degree, but moonlight as a tortured microbiologist currently. I do not drink or smoke pot and am not huge on chocolate, but love fruit and sour candies if that's your jam. I prefer savory things though.

Oh, Yes!

Dear Santa I am a 57 year old science teacher. I like science stuff. A lot. Also science books, science toys, and any other science-related material. If you happen to have a spare Large Hadron Collider lying around, and you were not sure what to do with it, I think it would make a great gift! I also like art supplies, and collect things like fountain pens and fossils. If you could find a fossilized fountain pen, my life would be complete. Mrs. Genesplicer and I also like regional things, particularly foods. Our dogs and cats don't give a poo poo, generally speaking, but will occasionally raise an eyebrow for pet-related materials.

Dear Santee I'm not sure who or what you are. But stalking you (in a completely innocent, non-creepy way) should provide me with some information. In any event, I shall send you something that is almost, but not quite, completely unlike what you were expecting. And since bees are still in short supply, I've had to switch to slugs. Expect slugs. Lots and lots of slugs.

A spare Large Hadron Collider you say.

I may be able to part with one.

Old lady goon here, in for SASSmass cheer again!

Santa, I have enjoyed many gifts from goons over the years. Coffee and tea, chocolate and hard candy, music and videos, plushies, socks, candles, my everyday coffee mug....loved them all! Still waiting for bees. I am 420 friendly, thus, an Achiever. It becomes legal here in my state after the new year, what what!

Local stuff is cool, home made also very cool. I have a doggo, but she is quite neurotic and hates me. She is a yellow lab, so if pets are your jam, she likes food, scared shitless of toys. Otherwise, I am not hard to please, I only ask that my gift is fun for you to choose, not stressful.

e: I've been wanting one of these for years....



Santee, looking forward to stalking you.

Oho, it is indeed that time again. My santa flaked last year but I shall fight the humbuggery with greater cheer this year, so get ready santee.

Santee: Once I know who you are I will stalk, but be aware - I bought a sewing machine and a pressure cooker this year, gifts will be made. I also love used book shops so some weird literature will probably be included. We'll talk.

Santa: I'm huge into science nerd poo poo, cats, cooking, tea, star wars, comics, old british sci-fi/comedy, cannabis, coding, and I'm a pan transwoman so pretty dang queer. 38 years old, engaged, no kids, 3 cats. I am a skinny bitch. Gay me up with star wars and cat stuff. Or bees, that's cool too.

How the gently caress did I miss this thread for six days?? I got signed up and verified last night for my fifth SASS and I'm excited!

SANTA: Lo, I am A Horrible, Chittering Mass, That None Can Bear To Countenance. I have many posts on these here forums, but since search never works I wish you luck finding them. I'm open to pretty much anything. Send a box full of dildos and weed and I will be fine. Just don't send anything with much sugar because I have the diabeetus and I'll feel obligated to eat it.

SANTEE: There Will Be Bees. And I've already started going through thrift stores looking for the weirdest things I can possibly send. Once I know more about you, I might even get something that fits!

Last year's Santa painted a picture of my cats on a cardboard space shuttle and it was the most amazing thing I've ever had from SASS. It hangs proudly above my TV. (You are not expected to live up to that, 2019 Santa.)

Dear Santa: I am a 30-something PNW math teacher ladytype with a husband and two cats. I enjoy cats, dinosaurs, bees (esp. bumblebees), books, and tasty things. No 420, NSFW okay but nothing too gross please (husband is prone to The Vapors). Anything that you can find that's creepy or unsettling I will probably enjoy (I keep one of those cymbal-playing monkey toys in a cage in my classroom). Mr. Curling enjoys hard scifi and youtube videos about retro technology; the cats like catnip and cheap cat treats. If you can, please also send me a mix CD, since I miss the old days and love hearing other people's music. :3:

Dear Santee: I love buying presents, so I am excited to watch you from the bushes outside learn all about the kinds of things you like from your posts. You might get some homemade poo poo, or whatever I can find at the local markets. You may or may not also get a mix CD.

Dear Santa

I'm a 33 year old goon lady from the east coast of USA who likes Final Fantasy 14, Yakuza (mostly the video games, please do not send actual yakuza), lots of music to include EDM/glitchop, eurobeat, Japanese Rock and visual kei, beer, enamel pins, cats, and owls. I also like and collect stuffed animals. I have 1 cat if you wish to give a small gift to her (I also have a fish but he doesn't appreciate nice things). Food is a good gift too, but please nothing spicy or with fruit filling or cream cheese! Also if you are going to try to send beer, no gose/sours please! Also nothing weed or drug related!

May add more before the 1st if I think I missed something to help my Santa gift me.

Dear Santee

You might get cookies and beer, depending. Or bees. Or bees in beer and cookies. The world is a mystery!

Really poo poo hideous ornaments

This will be delivered to where I work, so please keep any NWS stuff inside the box :)
I also wear a size M for t-shirts.

Papercrafts/origami
Stealth/puzzle video games
Horror/thriller books & movies (but NOT sci-fi/fantasy)
Weird stuffed animals
Tacky ornaments
Craft beer
Old forensic/medical books
Strange candy and snacks (especially salty liquorice!)

Dear Santa,

I'm a 35 year old ladygoon with two dogs living in the frozen squalid NORTH! Well, I mean Halifax in Canada, well Dartmouth, so like medium squalid and damp cold. I love coffee, tea, regional objects, random pens you steal from banks, shiny objects, anything to do with knitting or the fibre arts, snack foods, handmade stuff, cosmetics, skincare, adorable chachkis. Really anything. I'm a big fan of the Weird Secondhand Finds group on Facebook. Please no dolls haunted or otherwise. Not that I'll be ungrateful for your generosity, but I will kill it with fire just in case. Thank you for advance for your thought, and your time. I stand ready, epi-pen in hand, for all your buzzy tidings of joy :)

The dogs are a beagle and a labradoodle. They love everything. They love lamp! They will be possibly photoed with any objects you send depending on whether or not they are awake. They generally begin hibernating until spring now.


Dear Santee: Expect something handmade, with love, and natural products.

It'll be a hive. A hive full of bees.

Although they are getting scarce so Genesplicer's idea of just sending slugs is pretty darn smart. I mean they're basically just gross slimy, hypoallergenic bees, and I hear they're good for your skin!

I'm into Scifi/Fantasy books, casual PC gaming, board games, BBQ, and cooking. 420 OK, NSFW is not. Funny/unique stuff is good. Gross is not. Other than that, go hog wild!

Dear Santa,

I have been a very good goon this year. Minus the termite genocide. Those fuckers infested my bedroom and died screaming. But other than that, none of my enemies have died screaming so I expect a good haul!

I keep tropical fish, Santa, so can always use air stones or SeaChem Prime or fish food. I also have an awesome pet hedgehog (rescue) named Urchin. I have a house of other animals too, like tortoises and snakes and cats, and foster neglected cats, so cat toys are always sweet. if you send things for them to wear, I will post pics and hopefully not need stitches but that is the price we pay for Christmas!

I also love all handmade things!

Pokemon Go is my gym. I love Magikarp the most because when I evolve, like him, I will totally kill you all. Also like Overwatch, StarWars, and annoyingly bright clothes. My shirt size is 3xl if that helps!


Love,

Dear Santee,

if you do not post what you like or dislike, I will send you a box of something. It may be a good something. May be a bad something. Maybe a 20 gallon tote of used mouse bedding. I have spoken.

Bees are associated with goons because of goonswarm/goonfleet, the forums faction in Eve Online, who rose to power in game by constantly recruiting hundreds of bored goons ready to grief tryhard players with devastating swarms of kamakazi attacks using tiny basic ships flown by people who maybe only started that day just for the one flight, solely to piss people off. Its beautiful and extremely SA.

I have done this in the past, specifically in 2007, 2009-2012 and 2015. I guess that makes this the 7th time.

To Santa:

I'm 42 years old, married with a daughter that turns 6 on 12/23. Daughter loves Pokemon, Minecraft and drawing/painting/coloring and frequently believes she is a cat. See her handywork below:



I like scifi and fantasy crap, games (both video and tabletop), cigars and woodworking. My T-Shirt size is XL. You can send pretty much anything, I can handle nsfw or 420, just let me know ahead of time. Please nothing that will get me arrested. Wife and I love regional stuff and foods although my wife is a pollock ( a Minnesota pollock not a euro pollock) and can't handle spicy. I love spicy. Chocolate will of course always work.

Other than that, send whatever. I probably don't have much to stalk right now, been pretty lurky recently.

Santee:

If you post nothing I do have a lot of sawdust I need to get rid of. I'll try and make something, but that's gonna depend on how far I get on my workshop.

Hi Santa,

Go nuts with local stuff or anything you think I'll like based on sifting creepily through my post history.

If you're stumped for ideas: I like cats and parrots. I dig history and really dig reading about history, especially in the sort of anthropological "life at this time in this civilization" exploration sense. I play a lot of games, my favorite is Crusader Kings 2, but I also love the Fallout and Civilization series. I play both Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft sporadically.

Usual engineer life choices, video / board games, guitar, coffee, cigars and long distance running. With my only real spare time this month I used it to see Terminator: Dark Fate and now I need hollow and empty.

Pretty much just send me a time machine so i can play wolfenstein for reals. NSFW is fine and dandy inside the box. Send me a naked 1940's lady with WIFE DO NOT OPEN on the box or something.

Also music! There is only so much megadeth a man can listen to while running.

I remember this because I sent an Ice Bats bobble head that I probably should have kept but meh. It's just stuff. (but if you're the goon who still has it can you post a pic of it?)
