Thank jingle.boy for bringing this to my attention. With shipping being redonkulous, not sure how many will participate but lets give it a go.
Rules:
* Don't tell anyone who you have. If you need gift ideas, PM me and I will contact your SS, or you can post suggestions for yourself in this thread once the matchmaking is done.
* Gifts should be around $30 not including shipping.
* Plan on shipping your gift at least a week before someone's "Need by" date. Different people might have different dates, be courteous to your recipient. This includes being late, try not to be too late.
* Pictures or video of you opening is required. Video preferred.
* There is a minimum "notoriety" requirement. Due to my lack of activity, I will defer decisions of new people to a counsel of trusted users. In all but two cases, the person who fails to give a gift is a newbie. A repeat of seven years ago non-participants is unacceptable.
* You must provide me with tracking information. I have two suggestions to do this and one for keeping shipping down:
1) Buy from Amazon or other online vendor that provides you a tracking number. HOWEVER, they will ship it fast, so if you want to go that route, send the participant a card with a letter (which some of us do anyway), and send it a week before you order. Address it to the person and their handle so they know it is from DTF. In the letter state their gift will come direct from the vendor(s) and wish have fun with the rest.
2) USPS isn't that bad usually, I have sent things three day for about $10 in the past. Make sure you have a tracking number to give me if I ask for it.
*NEW FOR THIS YEAR* If you have Nick, send it by FedEx. He will appreciate it ;D

Sad to say it, but I think I need to step away from the fun this year. Going to be in europe the two weeks right before Christmas and I just don't think this works out easily into my schedule this year to not only get a gift going but to receive and do a video for a gift either. I expect to be participating again next year, but timing is not on my side this year.

This saddens me :'( But, it's understandable.

Fair warning to whoever gets me - I will be out of state on Vacation from 12/21-12/28. If my item comes during that time, my video will have to wait till I'm back. Don't rush yourself though :)

With the shit storm that identifies as today's retail shipping infrastructure, we'll be watching videos well into January anyways. Don't trip.

Everyone should have their targets. Sorry it took a while, but 12 years in the randomizer struggles to avoid re-matching people, or trying to match chknptpie with herself, which it did 3 times in a row.
Feel free to post suggestions for yourself or reach out to me or another member if you need help with your target. A few reminders:
* If you want to ship something directly to someone, let me know the name of the company sending it and tracking if you have it so I can tell your target so they know to not open it.
*If sending multiple packages - also let me know so I can relay the info to your target.
* Use a fake name on the return address - something Dream Theater related so the receiver knows it is a secret santa gift.
* Have fun with it and write something thoughtful, or if you want to imitate me write convoluted instructions.

Yayyy! Okay, starting the suggestion train/dating profile:
My primary interests are cats (I have two), jackalopes, craft beer, cheese, nuns/Catholic stuff, cemeteries/all things death, film, buying weird shit on Etsy, feminist propaganda, and of course Our Lord and Savior Nicolas Cage (although I do already own my favorite movies and a LOT of funny shit with his face on it including a vibrator, so you'll have to get extra creative if you're up to that challenge).
Frequently playing these days- Gazpacho, Porcupine Tree, Pain of Salvation, Frank Zappa, Muse, Radiohead, Phish, Opeth, The Pineapple Thief
Oh, and because both of these have actually come up in the past- shirt size women's XL/men's M, shoe size women's 11/men's 9.5
-
Only one request really... no t-shirts please. I literally have very little room in my closet for anymore. I've had to "retire" about 20 shirts in the last couple of years into storage to make space.
Gag / humour gifts are always good. Hockey fan; Disney fan (all things Disney); exercise stuff; alcohol related stuff. Anything Canadiana related is cool.
-
or trying to match chknptpie with herself, which it did 3 times in a row.
I mean.. I buy myself presents all the time. How did it know?! Have you looked into Elfster? I used it for another internet gift exchange and it worked pretty good. Also - I have no qualms with repeat assignments. I figured that would happen at some point!
Current favorite bands - coheed and cambria, rise against, anti-flag
Current hobbies - running, pottery, kindle reading
Current obsessions - Stormlight archive/Brandon Sanderson, Red Rising/Pierce Brown
Love candles and blankets, work from home, have 3 cats
-
I’m happy to receive anything. However gonna list random current interests maybe to give ideas: Tetris, Pokemon (anything mew or leafeon related), Ace Attorney (but haven’t played the sequel trilogy yet so no spoilers :P), Miraculous Ladybug, D&D/dice, squids, deer, DDR, Wind Waker, Haken, The Dear Hunter, hot sauce, and gag gifts are welcome. I also do have a cat. Again gifts don’t have to be from this list, but I know long lists help me. Oh also if you end up getting me a shirt or something, size small would be best.
-
hot sauce,
Oh yeah... you can't go wrong here.
-
Deadpool stuff as always
Marvel stuff that is a bit more obscure if possible.
Stuff to annoy Stadler.
Stuff to annoy Jackie.
Stuff to arouse Chad, RJ, Joe, or Hef.
-
Im not picky...
Just no shirts this time, I have too many.
I love nature and animals in nature, especially Penguins.
I enjoy playing my Switch, currently playing GTA:San Andreas. Although I am playing Digimon Cyber sleuth, and Pokemon Snap...
I'm down for nostalgia items. I'm a late 80's - 90's kid. So anything like the Cartoons Power Rangers, Magic School Bus, Animaniacs, Histeria. All these cartoons bring back good nostalgia memories.
Also, I love Futurama and The Simpsons.
I don't mind things that can be enjoyed with 2 or more people. (I still need to play Istanbul that I got from Mason a couple years back. Think I'll change that this coming Thanksgiving weekend.)
I enjoy hilarious comedic gifts as well.
Oh, and anything music related...
-
On vacation will post for myself in a day or two when I have a free minute and a better connection.
-
I am into Marvel, specially Spidey, Venom, Deadpool
I LOVE Godzilla.
I have a special love for gorillas (silver back gorillas), I collect sport, music hats (if fitted hats L/XL size)
Favorite bands: DT, STRYPER, Haken, Leprous, (No love here for Rush or Marillion)
Anything with the number 13 (my birthday), my custom sport t-shirts have this number.
But most important, I AM OPEN FOR ANY KIND OF GIFT(s), SURPRISE ME SECRET SANTA!

-
You mean she doesn't have them all ready?
-
My musical tastes can be found in my roulette, which come to think of it is a few years old now.... band shirts/garb are always welcome.
I don't watch TV. The last series I watched regularly was NCIS and that was back when Tony and Ziva were still on. Do not watch many new movies either. Basicallly I am at TAC levels of ignorance when it comes to pop culture.
Enjoy retro gaming, grew up on every Nintendo system since NES.
Like doing home improvement projects.
Not a big drinker but do enjoy my bourbon.
Just happy to participate. :)
-

Not preference for me. I accept anything and everything. If my Secret Santa wants to be a bit more personal:
-My hobbies/interest: music (guitar or piano), photography/astrophotography and astronomy.
-enjoy Nintendo franchise games (Zelda, Mario and Metroid specially)
-
Ok....so interests...
Marvel, Star Wars/Trek
Music shirts are always welcome, xxl
Any type of quirky culinary stuff works, I have more than enough actual cooking tools, but fun stuff is welcome.
Absolutely no alcohol please.

Love to golf/hike…..bird watch
Large shirt size

80's pop culture
T-shirts are great. I wear a 3XL.
Books by some of the old hardboiled fiction authors, like Dashiell Hammet, James M. Cain, Raymond Chandler, Cornell Woolrich, W.R. Burnett, etc. Used copies extremely welcome.
Favorite alcohol is bourbon
Marvel
Run-DMC
Jazz
Literary criticism re: Shakespeare
Someone let me know if you need more info.
-
I haven't formulated an interest list in a while....
- Tolkien (no books, I've read everything he's ever written; I'm just a Tolkien geek through and through; memorabilia/art/etc).
- Classic video games, e.g. original Mario, Zelda, etc.
- Bloodborne
- Archer
- Bob's Burgers
- Rick & Morty
- Monty Python
- gag gifts are cool, too
- shirt size would be an XL, most likely, even though I'm trimming down. Large would work if it's cut bigger.
- Current music obsessions: Rush (always), Eluveitie, Sabaton, Brothers of Metal, classic Queensryche (up to and including Empire), Arch Enemy...
Favorite alcohol is single malt scotch or small batch bourbon (that stuff is pricey so I wouldn't recommend doing that).
But outside of that, surprise me. I don't have any expectations.
-
I like long walks on the beach.
Beer.
Getting Caught in the rain.
Beer.
I'm not into yoga.
Beer.
And the taste of champagne.
Beer.
Also, Apple music gift cards.
Biographies of musicians.
Crumpled Whiskey glasses.
Patriots, Bruins hats.
Beer.

Gift purchased, but seems some items won't get here until second week of December, so I will mail out the gift then (Multiple items so want to make sure everything gets there together).
-
With the late start this year, things coming late should be expected this year.
-
I think my SS already sent, but y’all know what I like.
-
I recorded my video yesterday, but there was a problem uploading it so I will have to try again tonight.

Waiting on one item and then all will be ready.

I have 90% of what I want to send to my 'target'. Hope to grab the rest and get it sent out within the week.
-
Spending this week shopping, and hoping to ship as well
-
So this wasn't my DTF Secret Santa gift, but I thought it was when I got it so I filmed it. You should watch it anyway, or at least the first two parts where before I start opening and talk about SS. Just a heads up, it is long.

Holy hot sauce that was nice

"Hopefully I'll see some of you again ... besides Spencer"
"Exit wounds"
"more Reaper than brittle"
:lol :lol
"Chad didn't chip in" .... I figured would've put put 1 and 1 together, coming from "Maritime Madness". Guess I should've wrote "happy birthday" on the card and included my name! :lolpalm:
Looking forward to the taste testing of the one-chunk challenge.
Happy (Canadian) Birthday - your birthday is a week early up here. :biggrin:
Just in case you want to check out the bundles by name, here's what you got:
The Complete Package
The Lunatic Box
The Maritime Box
P.S. Would love to hear your thoughts on some of those flavours, as I'm considering a purchase myself. Damn some of those look yummy!
And yes... I'm very happy to host another Teams call for anyone interested.

And yes... I'm very happy to host another Teams call for anyone interested.
All in for another group call, but Teams posed problems for some users *ahem Jackie*. Zoom limits free calls to 45 minutes and Google Meet cuts out at 60 minutes, unless someone has a paid account with either of those. I do not, though I do have my corporate Teams account and don't personally have issues signing into Teams.
Also Jesus fuck has it already been a year since that call?

I'm game for any other platforms if someone has the ability to go host a call longer than an hour.
Jackie could clear out some memory from your device and download Teams to be safe.
Oh, and I forgot to mention... I believe the DTF'r that Dr. DTVT was trying to reference but couldn't remember was DebraKadabra.
-
I'm down for a call. I'll even try to say a few more words this time.
-
I'm in for a call as well.....the last one was fun.
Glad to see you enjoyed the 'thank you' package of hot sauces Mason. Kuddos to Chad for arranging it all and getting it ordered :tup
-
I'll probably be at the beach bit I'd definitely take time for it.
-
Heh, I do have room for apps on my phone now so hopefully I can actually participate for real this time, depending when it is!
-
I'm down... Let's shoot for a Sunday morning so I can participate
-
I’m also down for a call… If we use zoom, let me run it because my school account allows me to have unlimited minutes on calls.
-
Also sidenote just waiting on one last thing for my secret Santa and then I’ll be sending it out hopefully this weekend
-
I'm down for a call pending the day and time.
-
I am still waiting on one singular thing before sending mine out. *impatient foot-tapping continues*
-
I am still waiting on one singular thing before sending mine out. *impatient foot-tapping continues*
Similar. Been delayed and might not arrive at all as of today. Hopefully can work it out soon.
-
Waiting on items before I can ship.
FYI, just to confirm since I've never participated before: we absolutely do not let on to our target our actual identity. Is that correct? I've watched some of the videos from past years, and in some of them, it seems like the recipient "figures out" who it is.
-
It’s ok and normal for people to figure out who has them. But if the recipient sees a DT or other inside joke related name on the return address, it helps them identify their SS package so they can film it.
-
Might I also suggest that once most people start shipping, we don't publicly state if/when we have (or haven't) shipped? That's another way people easily "figure out" who may (or may not) have been their SS.
Mine's not too difficult, being the only one that will have a customs label on it. It was great a couple years ago, when I was able to hop across the border, and ship directly from USPS. No such luck this year though.
-

The USPS often solves that quandary for us by having no discernible schedule for tracking and delivery, so we could announce our shipment here and it not arrive for 2 weeks at midnight in the rain on the wrong porch. Everyone plays along.

Touche ... :lol
At least they deliver. Who knows what FedEx might do!

It is with extreme sadness that someone who participated this year will not be allowed to participate for breaking the following rule:

So here is me taking the one chunk challenge - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymItQDGvq4E (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymItQDGvq4E)
-
Like a fucking boss. Seems like it caught up with you by about the 3:30 mark! :lol
Also, PM some of those "Simone Simons naked-hot" pics!
-
Someone call the police. Mason just murdered that challenge.
-
I want to know how you were doing 5 more minutes after you stopped filming lol looks like it kept getting worse
-
I want to know how he did when the time to poo came in. When I eat those things it burns twice, once one it enters and one when it goes out. I promised I would never eat things like that EVER!
-
Honestly, the worst was probably on film. I would have taken it out longer but I had things to do on my day off. I didn’t really notice much coming out. My stomach was rumble-y all afternoon but that is also a natural physiological response I can’t control.

You handled it like a boss :tup
I've done the PAQUI one chip challenge and that was pretty hot. My teeth hurt and I couldn't feel my lips :lol
-
I know better than to do any semblance of a challenge. Last time I tried anything superhot was when I made a fermented ghost pepper hot sauce. One taste was enough to give me brutal heartburn for hours.
-
My present came today, I’ll upload the vid very soon
-
Got the last bit of my gift today. Will try to mail it out by Monday at the latest. Hard to do with two jobs.
-
I will ship my package next week, sorry, dealing with the travel prep. and last minute requirements by goverment of Colombia, Panama and of course Venezuela.
-
I also have the things but still need to assemble them for shipping!
So here is me taking the one chunk challenge - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymItQDGvq4E (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymItQDGvq4E)
Yesss, love seeing you cry for us!
-
Reading all these posts without seeing the Doc's video first is quite interesting. "Simone Simons naked..." "...when the time to poo came in...."
-
Good news is either very late last night or very early this morning my Secret Santa gift came in.
Bad news is that after work today I'm heading to PAX Unplugged for the weekend, so no video till Monday at the earliest. Very much looking forward to it!
-
So two gifts in and no videos? Wtf guys?
-
First official actual DTF SS video. Thanks secret Santa! I just have to figure out where to wear it! I can think of a few places lol

Sadly it might be hard to find in that key chain :lol

:lol That keychain and all the subsequent comments.

No one is commenting on the lanyard itself. 2016 World Series champs lol

Which is because there was more action on that keychain than there is in the average baseball game.

Great vid Nick :tup I’ve never heard of a damnit doll either but what a good idea :lol love how all the cats got curious and started stopping by to see what was up. If some of that artwork gets done you gotta post for us to see.
-
"Him or her, because it could be either." .... good save. Totally believable.
I want a Dammit Doll. I'd whap that thing like Bob Ross on a paint brush.
-
...and I couldn't tell if that Christmas tree was a reflection in your window or if you had an Evergreen outside the window decorated and lit? Either way it was a nice backdrop for a vid
-
Great vids so far!

So we do have a tree inside, but that one in particular was a small decorated fake tree that Jennie keeps on the porch.

Great vids so far!
Indeed!

Mason I'll send ya tracking numbers soon!

Gift received. Wonderful job. An embarrassment of riches. I am excited and humbled.
Video up hopefully later today.

Great Vid Hef! Loved the opening!
You didn't read the note.. was it a secret?
You have your kid trained well. Didn't cough or gag once from the cigar smoke. ;D
Also, not for Hef, but that looked like a $100 box. I thought the limit was $30??

and it looks like Jennie is forced to color a book now :lol

Nice starts to the SS season!
Also, not for Hef, but that looked like a $100 box. I thought the limit was $30??
$30 is more of a guideline. Certainly 10 years ago when this all started, many of us were in different financial positions then vs now. I usually end up spending a bit more, but don't have any expectations on anyone to do so.

She smokes with me sometimes. That's what she asked for on her 18th - to sit and smoke with me. :biggrin:

I'll echo the comments that the intro was great, but Mad Russian's Christmas is one of my fave (perhaps THE favorite) TSO track... so I was left a little unfulfilled when it ended right at the opening climactic moment.

I may have completely screwed up by forgetting to mention I'm going out of town 12/23. Didn't even occur to me to mention it here. :facepalm:
-
Awesome vids so far!
I appreciate people sending me updates and tracking numbers, especially those who have sent multiple tracking numbers and which one to open first. I know it sometimes doesn't look like I check messages but I do. I try to leave them unread until I can log them.

Mine arrived today. Stoked.
Will record when I get a chance to open it.

What a fun haul for Drew! Freaking 8 track for the win Alex! That was awesome :metal
-
I had that on 8 track. I had everything up through Exit Stage Left on 8 track.

I have an A Farewell to Kings 8-track just to make it so I have that on every major format I can think of. 8-track, cassette, CD, vinyl, and 5.1 DVD.

Fun video Tricia! Looks like the cats are stealing the show this year. Very cool gifts by your not so secret Santa.
Arrived home to see my gift had been delivered. Will look to open later tonight and get the vid uploaded. We’re heading out the door now to go look at lights.

My package arrived a few days ago, but I thought it was a part of another SS group I was in. Luckily I received that one, which made me realize the first was from DTF. Will be recording a video as soon as I have the time!
Also great videos so far. Need more!
-
So..unless my gift shows up tomorrow or Thurs, then it's gonna be the new year before I get a video up as I will be out of town.
-
I got all excited yesterday because I got a USPS notification that something with an unfamiliar tracking number was arriving, but it was a gift from my sis-in-law. But I'm not going anywhere so whenever it gets here is cool!

Got my package and will record a video as soon as I can.

Sadly this is slowly becoming less the truth because more and more video content is being viewed in a square or portrait aspect ratio on social media. Times are changing for casual internet content.
That said I’m still filming landscape. Hahaha
Edit:
Just recorded the opening. Welp. That was the first time I put hot sauce in my mouth and immediately fully regretted it. Hope you guys enjoy seeing that soon. :lol

Your commentary went mute on the last sauce tasting (@ 7:08). I still got the background music playing, but I'm no lip reader! Then it comes back right after you taste it.

Yeah can confirm your voice is gone during that last commentary but comes back just in time for you to have your face melted off. Cool video, though. Bet you can't wait to get that first "Fuck You" roll.
-
Ah oh no! Damn that’s bizarre. I was just saying in the video how the first sauce hit you hard immediately and stayed hot. And the second one just had a slow build to a mild heat then immediately went away. Nothing funny or important. Sorry!
Thanks for the kind words though. Seriously can’t wait to roll that die in a game!

Mann. I always have been a fan of Haken merch. They have really fun stuff. Cool!
-
@Tricia: Those Coheed ornaments are awesome, even the ones that came from albums that weren't quite so awesome..
@Gary: If only there was some sort of address label or lettering on the box that would have indicated which side might be up! :D
@Chad: If you haven't tried them yet, I absolutely love the dark chocolate Kit-Kat bars.
@TJ: I just played my first DnD game at PAX Unplugged recently, had a great DM which made it a great first game.
@RJ: The Haken gifts are obviously awesome, but that Hammer is absolutely perfect for you!
-
Omg the Mjölnir tenderizer :lol
Also always a pleasure to see RJ's general adorableness... and an apron for the collection that I have also contributed to :heart
TJ, always love your videos! The sauce reactions were amazing.
Chad, I want to snuggle your Muppets! Love when the reading glasses come out :lol

Love the vids fellas! TJ…..that hit sauce reaction was awesome :metal RJ…..great Haken haul, love it!

I'm actually rather surprised at how many shipments made it before Christmas - especially mine (coming over the border and all)!
-
@Chad: If you haven't tried them yet, I absolutely love the dark chocolate Kit-Kat bars.
Kit Kat’s are made with slightly different formula of chocolate up here. The mint KKs that my SS gave me are great. KKs are his favourite bars, and he loves these much more than Cdn KKs. Also, our cat is named Kit Kat, so The chocolates were a full win.
-
I wish I could’ve sampled the hot sauces with my SS. Just so they know what they sent me. :lol
-
Chad, I want to snuggle your Muppets!
Hey now
-
I was waiting for somebody to comment on that :lol
-
Merry Christmas everyone. I wanted to post a shout out to all my previous SS:
Tricia - every video call I was on, people loved the curling and hockey glove mugs. Candle is still unused, in pristine shape. Sadly, I don't wear dress socks much, so those are largely unused.
Gary - the FU mug doesn't get as much use as I'd like - it's not microwavable, and is too big to fit on my cup warmer. But whenever I pour a scotch on the rocks, your stainless steel balls are what I usually reach for
Cheffy Poo - your finger pic is still proudly displayed on my office desk, and every video call I'm on I have to restrain myself from telling people to punch themselves. The gun... not sure where that ended up. The instant coffee and Aunt Jemima's ... those got regifted. :lol
Adami - the Kiss/Zeppelin T is pure gold. EVERYWHERE I go, someone comments on it. I only wish whoever designed it thought to also caption it with "Won't Get Fooled Again". Also, the I:heartGuns, Titties * America sticker is pinned up on my bulletin board right beside me - off camera.
Joe - the Laphroaig is LONG gone!
Jackie - your pot purri of gifts are still dear to me - the bobble-head Bossk is right beside me so I can flick his head whenever he gets out of line. I still wear the Millennium Falcon T regularly (though the other shirt was a tad too small). The batteries in the laser guns died a long time ago unfortunately
Nick - still use the Rush keychain
And I forget who gave me The Art Of Seduction Poster and Rush flag, but both are hung prominently in my workout room.
This community is great, and I honestly don't know what I'd do without all of you in my life.
-
After the corporate reaction to the riots last year, that Aunt Jemima is probably a collectors item now.

Awwww sweet shoutout Chad. I honestly don't remember what the other shirt was now! :lol

I'm absolutely clueless this year.

Everyone else, hopefully the gifts arrive soon.

Package received. The description on the customs label suggests this could be one of the most unique set of gifts I have ever received. Will try to open Thursday.

I just started a new job that I hate. So I’m trying to muster up the strength to make an interesting video that doesn’t seemed phoned in. Gimme the weekend.

That was Funniest Videos worthy.
I watched all the vids and they were all great. I really liked Jingle.Boy's shot glass.
Implode, your hot sauce tasting video was hilarious. Even though the sound cut off, the music made me laugh because it was perfect for a moment like that.
-
Fun vid....Ava's voice is darling! Great gifts!

That's fantastic! Your kids are awesome!
-
Awww very cute!
-
Wow Chris! How did your SS get a pic of your kids?
-
Yeah, it's creepy. He certainly didn't get it from my facebook.
I hope he/she doesn't know if I have been bad or good.
Am saddened and disappointed that only one gift has featured hot sauces so far.

Hey, hey! Video up!

I forgot to thank Mason. Without him, this would never happen. Thank you my friend. Can't wait for a festival to hang out soon.
Thank you to my Secret Santa. The Queen and I love it. Tim, I told Lisa the story. :lol
-
She must've been like WTF?? :lol
I was waiting to see what your SS was going to do with it. It was their idea totally.
-
I was wondering if you were involved. Lol. Lisa knows how much I love that album so she laughed out loud when I told her that story.

I wasn't really. I did get a PM at first, but then they came up with that. I was wondering what they were going to do with it.
You should show her the post in Sacul's roulette where I explain it to Wolfking.
-
I will. Lol

The Queen sayeth "oh.... that's nice."
And Rush was playing in the background!

We will be drinking beers out of those glasses watching the Pats tomorrow!

Amazing!

Thank you SS!!

Tis a Tribble! A furry little Star Trek thing which is very cute, assuming I don't let it reproduce.
I appreciate my SS going Star Trek instead of strictly Deadpool this year. Much thanks!

We also know Adami is not Klingon.
I couldn’t tell what the other gifts were though.

A coffee mug that says "Shut up" in reference to Wesley Crusher, a tribble, and some Star Trek decals.

Any girl willing to put up with you shenanigans' Adami and joins in you marry right away. Smart man.

Love the vids fellas! Ben....that Homer print really is cool!
Adami.....loved the idea and 'execution' of the video :tup
Who's in charge of the DTF virtual meet up?

Our brother from another from where maple syrup flows.

Me? I though someone who had an enterprise Zoom license offered (because Jackie had problems getting in to Teams last year)?
I don't mind hosting it, we just need to decide a date/time. First question, weekend, or weekday. I'd be partial to a Sunday evening.

I didn't know that about Jackie.

Sounds like I should have both of mine by Weds so hopefully will have a video in a week!

Other than Ministro, are you last? Has Mason recorded his SS vid (hot sauces were a group b-day gift).

Received mine earlier today, will try to record after work, if not tomorrow

An appointment I had scheduled for after work tomorrow fell through. I'll unbox then for sure!

Just got my first package and very excited by the name of the sender :caffeine:

I brought it up but I don't have an enterprise zoom license. I do have Teams as well. Whichever works I'll try to be there for.

First, HUGE thanks to my SS. I love everything that was sent.
Second, sorry about my difficulty with the hand written note! The note reads: "Sorry that it took so long for your presents. ________ in the snow is a bitch". I still don't know what that word is. Driving? Sorry!
https://youtu.be/R24Vafi4S98
Seriously, really thankful of what I got :hefdaddy

Oh that was priceless. Reminds me of me trying to read Potpie's note last year! That's why I type my stuff now. Even the one sentence I did write was a tough one for Chris to read!
Bitchin mug.

Victor, did you leave your blinkah on?? :lol
We bought my stepson an ocarina when he was a kid. (emphasis on kid! ;D ;D)

Nice vids, guys, and awesome gifts.
I'm the same way Chino, I do not know what city people are living in on here. I don't look either. :lol
-
No, you never can have enough rubs!!
Is that a Lego Titanic, or a model?
-
That's the new Titanic set. I'm almost done with it! I have 4 of the 46 parts bags left.
I have a 1:350 scale Titanic model I'm working on in my spare time, but at this rate, I'll be long dead before I finish. Too many projects in flight 🙃 The Lego Titanic is about 1/200 scale.

Ha! Yeah I left my blinkers on and did not even notice. Where I work, from the main entrance to my office is a 3 minute drive. Because we might encounter pedestrian in our drive, we need to have our hazzard lights on (15 mph speed limit). At times, I forget to turn them off when I leave and don't notice until a few minutes after.
And hey, you can get an Ocarina for yourself if you want, is never too late :biggrin: the symbol on the mug is from another video game as well.
Cool stuff Chino!
-
That is a awesome mug VMadera.
Vlasto Day!! Never apologize for your dog Chino. All he wanted was some screen time.
So, the only people left to post are myself, and I am waiting for the third package; Jackie who has one and the other arriving next week, and MinistroRaven who is in the middle of an international relocation, but is alive and well.
-
Yay, almost there! Honestly with the way mail has been lately I figured we might be into February by the time everybody got theirs.
-
To my SS. I just had a heck of a sweet tooth after my lunch walk and remembered the mug cake you sent was sitting in my cabinet. It hit the spot perfectly on this frigid day ;D
-
I'll wait to reveal who I got until the rest of the videos have been posted. I want to reply to my SS but, don't want to yet before others got their videos out.
Or I might just say screw it later on and post a reply.

Turns out it was an Amazon mistake. It had a barcode for a CD on the outside wrapper.

I sent the plug to Nick originally, who gifted it back to me “used” (dipped in chocolate). I meant to send it on last year, but I forgot so I just made the trip to Chicago to give Spencer the real thing, and now it is Jackie’s. May she enjoy it and spread it’s love next year…like the hat, only bowl doesn’t participate so it won’t get lost.
-
Haha I'm still mad about the hat, I was so proud of that thing!
Wait, if you sent that to Nick who did I send a butt plug to? Man, all the years and gifts blur together after a while :lol
-

I’ll make sure to record and upload my video after that.

Aww, thanks Chad :heart
That's a good idea, I should really keep a list! Of course I have the videos but I don't remember where everything came from anymore.

I have the packages in my hands, I will try to record the video tonite or tomorrow and upload it after that.

Hey guys, I am sorry for taking this long to upload my video.
My wife, and kids, and myself got Omicron, had to be isolated, we tested negative a couple of days ago, we've been enjoying our time here with our family and friends.
