I got my Sassmas from Lamb! So cool! that bag of treats the 2 kitties I have kept circling around me to let me give them more so it was kind of hard to get a decent picture of them. But I will only give a couple at a time and that little cat teaser with a bee on it is amazing, I will be running around letting them chase it. Bee stickers, also A magnet thet I put on my fridge next to my lizzie borden magnet. - I will probably put most of the bee stickers on my bicycle Also that wonder woman picture thingy is amazing!!!!! My husband is going to hate me when I hang it up where I want lol! (I have 4 Wonder Woman posters, a Catwoman (Batman Returns Michelle Pfeiffer) and a Psylocke poster hanging in the living room, ha ha ha ha)  E: Also lots of bees in the package, I will probably be finding them forever. But it will be a nice surprise when I find them lol. E2 okay I went to go back to take another picture but there was a cat sleeping on top of everything! At least I got a picture of 1 of the kitties!

A SASS package showed up from the awesome csammis today! BEHOLD! Included in the SASSMas haul are: - A mug showing off six buildings of the majestic Kansas City skyline sticking out of a cup. - A bottle of "Joe's Kansas City" BBQ sauce. Since I smoke brisket and ribs all of the time, I'm definitely going to give this a shot. - A bag of dog treats for my pups! They'll be all over these, I'm sure. - Four packs of very nice chocolate from Kansas City chocolatier Christopher Elbow Chocolates! My wife and daughter have already descended upon these like a plague of locusts. - A nice, albeit brief, greeting card. csammis is a gentleman of few words who prefers to let his acts of kindness speak for him. The card was full of a variety of stickers suitable for pimping out a laptop or pets that don't escape quickly enough! And finally, a homemade figurine that I can only describe as a "logic analyzer mimic". CHECK THIS THING OUT:   If you don't slum it in SH/SC like csammis and I do, you probably have no idea what a logic analyzer is. It's a device that you use to collect and analyze digital logic signals in circuits to reconstruct data bus traffic (among other things). This figurine does a pretty good job of capturing the terror and chaos of using one of these gizmos in a complicated circuit:  The figurine now resides in my electronics work area, right next to the 3-D printer:  Top notch Santa-ing, csammis! Merry SASSMas!

Christopher Elbow story: I used to work at a hardware store and his wife came in and bought a bunch of PVC plumbing elbows. Because I am an idiot, I was like, "Heh... your name is Elbow and you're buying elbows" and she gave me an appropriately disgusted look.

Glad you like the mimic  The picture on the mug is in the shape of a shuttlecock, which are Kansas-City-famous for being sculptures on the lawn of a true Kansas City institution: the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum  A very merry SASSMas to you!!

I know it is late but my oldest orange cat that I posted is wondering around looking for the bee string thing. He absolutely loves it. I probably should have hidden it in the desk, but he is old and figure let him have fun!!!!

It's the ghost with the most! I love him! Also not pictured: chocolate that my kid ran off with. Thank you so much. You've brought such a smile to my face, you have no idea. I love Sassmas.

I need to find a new place for the treats, I put them in my desk drawer nut now the one has been crawling all over me trying to open the drawer while the other meows and is waiting for him to get them out lol. I should probably put they high in the kitchen cabinet or something. Temptations has always been their favorites but we mostly this year have been using greenies for their dental health - nor sure if those really do anything but it makes me feel better I guess lol. And thank you so much Lamb. The cats are getting a kick out of their presents, and I already hung the Wonder Woman thingie on my living room wall, lol. E: I was hammering a nail into the wall as quietly as possible but I was probably louder than I think I was hahaha! E2 also Krampus card! and "Piss Tape is real" sticker which will go on to my screen door. - nice cyper stalkinging knowing I post in the Trump LOL thread, he he. nunsexmonkrock fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Dec 20, 2022 |

The pee tape sticker was actually made by a goon I believe. I bought a bunch of them a while back and send them out when I come across someone I think will appreciate them.

Guys, look, I'm gonna be real bummed if I get the short end of the SASS stick again this year (this not a dig at Cone of Tragedy, I've never known someone to absolutely make it right like that). But that said, I think I get the most enjoyment from GIVING gifts. So I hope you've sent your santee something already. It's SASSMAS this weekend! I know I've sent out a gift this year.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw9j5RGfwz8

This is a fantastic video! Thank you for providing a tour of your Christmas "tree". You have a delightful collection of very unique ornaments and that's an impressive quantity of mealworms! There is a blizzard expected for tomorrow and the temperatures are already sub-zero where I am, so I am very jealous of your wood burning fireplace! It looks especially cozy. I hope everyone is staying warm and safe this holiday week. I'm hunkered down with the closest thing I have to a fireplace, and that's my electric heat pad and tea.

Thank you to DeadMansSuspenders for a lovely gift package, including a book I’ll use to introduce my kids to The Far Side (and maybe Cthulhu). There were also some delicious chocolates that one of the kids disappeared with before I could take a picture (but at least she saved one for me). Very grateful for the thoughtfulness! LMK if you’re ever up here in Toronto!  (Apologies for the delay in posting!)

The best part is most people will never need to worry about opening such a gift. In fact, I think you only need to fret if you received a tracking number ending in 5834. Hypothetically.
