I should note that although I usually wear size M, I'm beginning to opt for size L these days haha

Please no alcohol, no cigars, other than what I mentioned above, I'm open to any gift ideas you might have.

Nintendo switch games are fine too. (No mario kart 8 or Minecraft)

Cool Chris · « **Reply #36 on:** November 10, 2023, 06:49:03 PM »

Same address.

Welcome gifts/interests:

Band Shirts (L) and am not too proud to wear a concert shirt from a tour I didn't attend

Nintendo
Star Wars - can't say I am a fan of any other franchises at this stage in my life, I hardly watch any TV or movies now
Card/Board games

cramx3 · « **Reply #37 on:** November 13, 2023, 11:05:01 AM »

Same address

XXL shirt size, obviously a big music and concert fan. PSU football, PC gaming (specifically Call of Duty), but generally nothing is really off limits.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #38 on:** November 13, 2023, 01:06:29 PM »

For me, anything that brings a smile on my face works (ie, gag gifts). I enjoy coffee, Marvel, Lego (Avengers Tower would be cool!), all manner of sci-fi and fantasy really. Shirt size ... well, I've bulked up a bit this year, so let's say XL to be safe. I too watch a lot of hockey (don't coach though). Drinking accessories are fine too.

But really, throw all that out the window unless you're just completely stuck. I am thrilled just to see what you think would be good stuff for me, based on what you know about me from our interactions here on DTF or elsewhere.

Mostly that.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #39 on:** November 13, 2023, 04:24:19 PM »

Mine is the same address

L-shirts
Penguins
Earthbound
Video Games
Music
Puzzles
Board games

Pretty much anything is a free for all with me at this point. Just nothing too NSFW is all I ask.

Oops, almost forgot to come back here... I am also at the same address. I usually wear M in men's/unisex, XL in women's.

Interests: Nic Cage (finding something ridiculous that I don't have can be a fun challenge), craft beer, garlic, nuns, jackalopes, movies (horror, docs, weird indie and foreign shit), books (mostly fiction and memoir), music (still a SW fangirl, and much more), cats (I have two), all size sex toys (but really, NSFW gifts are very welcome haha).

Gathering the items...this may be one of my best gifts yet, right behind the year I gave Alex a plaque for DTF Member of the Year with the

face on it.

Yeah, that's a top 5 SS gift ever, imo. Portnoy's Cameo for you was pretty dope.

I don't think anything will ever top the Cameo, that was sheer genius.

Shirt size L

Obv anything music or prog related is amazing. Rush is my favorite band (seeing Geddy Lee in a Week and a half)
I also love Gordon Ramsay, LPs, retro video games (I still have my NES, but I play my switch more nowadays), craft beer, packers, cubs…

Hope that gives you a start

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #47 on:** November 28, 2023, 07:39:53 PM »

I'm pretty sure I sent out all the addresses. Contact me if I didn't, please.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #48 on:** November 28, 2023, 07:42:23 PM »

My SS needs to send a NSFC video from my present. I expect a XXX video once received. Privately of course.

cramx3 · « **Reply #49 on:** November 29, 2023, 09:18:21 AM »

My gift is secured, should get it by the 6th the latest so hopefully have my shipment out shortly after that.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #50 on:** November 29, 2023, 12:41:11 PM »

Whoever sent me mine, I have received it. Unfortunately, my cameraman is out of town.

Should be able to unbox/film and get the video uploaded sometime later this week.

And next time, don't pressure yourself getting it done and delivered so quickly lol just relax.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #51 on:** November 29, 2023, 12:45:01 PM »

I expect to get the gifts for my recipient shipped next week.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #52 on:** November 29, 2023, 02:28:55 PM »

I'd suggest no more updates unless it's through Doc, otherwise Hef is gonna know who *isn't* his SS.

Yes, a private heads up and a tracking number are appreciated.

splent · « **Reply #54 on:** December 01, 2023, 07:59:57 PM »

Is everyone updating you? That’s a vague enough kind of update

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #55 on:** December 02, 2023, 09:57:44 PM »

I know two or three people sent it partially sent. It’s nice to relay a heads up to the person.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #56 on:** December 08, 2023, 02:43:45 PM »

OK, principal photography for my unboxing was done a day or two ago. My youngest, an aspiring creator, just got done with me for additional footage. I hope to have the final product uploaded tonight or sometime tomorrow.

You know how Hollywood is. The talent (me) is not actually in control. The director is.

*shrugs*

OK, here it is. Intro, outro, music, and production courtesy of my youngest, Coda. It seems like a lot, but they really wanted to do it, and hey - it's Christmas!

I love you guys. Happy holidays!

Glorious...I remember that game so well. I was in Berkeley, going to see Cal take on visiting Tennessee, and was hanging in a bar before the game. Place was packed of course, and while we were destined to be rivals on the field, all the Cal and UT fans were 100% behind App St. Easily a top 5 all time college football game, only matched by maybe the Boise upset of OU and, of course, the '82 Big Game (THE BAND IS ON THE FIELD!!!)

Didn't have my speakers on at the start, when I turned them on you had started walking, and was expecting Little Green Bag to be playing.

What an amazing gift!

What a thoughtful gift…..that’s awesome Hef! Loved your genuine reaction and appreciation for it…..and as others have mentioned…..Coda killed it on the video edits/production.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #68 on:** December 09, 2023, 07:45:38 AM »

That was an all time SS Gift and an all time video! Amazing!
