I bowl tomorrow... and I'm off on Thursday... ya'll will have to wait :)

That's it.  You need to grow a beard and become Jewish.  You already work security and live near LA.  Embrace your destiny and become Walter Sobchak.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Thanks Gary!!!! I love the fact that you added the Someone Just Like Him to it... that line (which is tattooed on my arm in memory of my father.. for those who didn't know / forgot) is held very close to my heart.

YOU ROCK! :metal

I'm so happy you liked it....whew. I really didn't know what to do/get and figured I'd give that a shot and just hope for the best.

Quality gift from your (not so) Secret Santa.  Well done!

I'm sorry about that :facepalm: I didn't know when/if it'd be revealed so I kind of mentioned it to Jeremy in a letter.

Only five people have told me they shipped, and one of those gifts has been received.  I'm slacking myself, but please try to get these out soon, as well as inform me so I can keep people in the loop.

It might not matter to some, but I suggest just telling Mason privately, so people can't guess who their SS is easily based on when they shipped and when they got it. Location often gives it away, but I love trying to guess based on the gift itself if possible.

So we shouldn't write them a letter and sign it with our real name?  :facepalm: I'll keep that in mind for next year.
