1) crap is in the eye of the beholder, so we'll be the judge of that......

2) It's the thought and effort wot counts

3) so shut up, wrap, send and be merry :)

Relax, Cicero, relax. I'm not hassling you. I only asked if you were happy with your gift or your wrapping. I'm *SURE* your giftee will be pleased with what they receive from you. I only asked because my wrapping skills are zero. Literally. I'm all wine and no bottle.

Merry Christmas, Cicero!

Assuming Jester's went that's 6 mailed to my knowledge. 14 still to go! Let me know if yours is on it's way or I'll start sending the elves round...

Only one received so far, apparently -and that's not one I counted as sent! :lol:

busterb 12-07-2007 07:45 PM

Sorry. I'll ship mine Monday. Got a package from WA. state late today. Humm must be from Bill Gates. Right?

zippyt 12-07-2007 08:02 PM

monster 12-07-2007 08:10 PM

Wahay! The first real one has arrived! Are you going to open it now or save it, bb?

7/20 sent, 1/20 received......

busterb 12-07-2007 09:30 PM

Save till X-mas. Sorry I'm kinda late getting mine in mail. Not great at baking.

busterb 12-08-2007 12:28 PM

Wow the post office was opened till 10:30 this AM.








Of course I didn't know that till 10:40! :bolt:

richlevy 12-08-2007 12:48 PM

I'm buying my first gift choice today if they still have any in stock. Since it's a discontinued item, I only know of one place that sells it so I waited until the weekend.

Hint: In the movie Semi Tough, Burt Reynolds' character must go to a motivational seminar famous for not allowing bathroom breaks. He goes to this musty old shop where a salesman hands him a dusty package. In the package is a 'hip flask' that straps to his leg and allows him to take a piss unnoticed except for a very loud noise.

I'm not promising it's something that cool:urinal:, but this item is almost that hard to find. I do have a cool backup gift idea that's unique but can be ordered off the Internet.

In any case, it will ship today or Monday.

And no, I don't know where you can actually buy the hip flash personal urinal.

Clodfobble 12-08-2007 05:27 PM

Arg! I will ship it the minute it actually freaking arrives here in the first place. I'm still waiting! But don't worry, if it takes too much longer I'll pay for FedEx to make sure it actually gets there on time.

richlevy 12-09-2007 08:37 PM

Shipped mine today.

monster 12-09-2007 10:56 PM

8/20 sent; 1/20 received

Cicero 12-10-2007 11:23 AM

I haven't sent mine yet......plbbbtt...life got all screwed up. I think it will still be there on time for Christmas however....so please recipient (whoever you may be), be patient.

busterb 12-10-2007 02:01 PM

Sent this Am.

monster 12-10-2007 09:20 PM

8/20 sent, 1/20 received

busterb 12-11-2007 10:34 AM

BTW The post office wanted a return address, per rules from DHS. Well lady you dream up one then, because this is secret Santa shit.
Said she would think of something. Right. Hope she does before X-mas. :offrant:

LJ 12-11-2007 11:00 AM

once again....just put the recipient's address on the return address spot, too.

monster 12-11-2007 03:21 PM

Anyone mailing internationally really should be done by now...... it's the last mailing date for US to UK.....

Clodfobble 12-11-2007 04:32 PM

You can add another one to the "sent" count monster, mine went out today.

monster 12-11-2007 05:23 PM

excellent 9/20, nearly halfway there...

2/20 received

1/20 opened

anonymous 12-12-2007 07:10 PM

It was suggested I not do this, but without some humor, what would Christmas be like?

Dear Secret Santa Giftee. 12/7/8/9/07

Warning this product was processed in a redneck facility that might process nuts.
So be advised about the Pecans and Almonds. Some of the toasted pecan might be a little over toasted. Eat it or spit it out, and get over it.
Processor is in no way libel for use or consumption of enclosed crap. LLC and such crap.

(Note) Any dark spots in white candy might be from pecans, flyshit, or I spilled my snuff.
Rest assured that the pieces that fell on floor were not sent to you!

The "cock." I just ran into that, maybe cause of some post. Honest, I didn't go hunting one.

Gift wrap. Sorry your sol. Don't do wrapping, ironing, or windows.

Pay no attention to the age restrictions on the puzzles. Do your best. Should be two, but if cock is broken, just think of it as three. K?

No Nutritional Facts Sheet! I really hope the USDA doesn't hear about that.

Now that I'm over the BS. Maybe.

May I wish you and yours great holidays and a very large new year.

Secret Santa Giftor or Gifter?

PS! The picking up, cracking, picking out, and toasting the pecans put a serious dent in my beer drinking time. SO enjoy. Should I think of anymore BS, I'll PM ya as anonymous.:p

LJ 12-12-2007 07:20 PM

hmmm...i wonder who could have written that? /sarcasm

LJ 12-12-2007 07:26 PM

wait....was that posted by the anon recipient(quoting a note that was enclosed?), or in advance, by the anon sender(by way of explanation)? while the writer is obvious, i cant tell who posted it.

classicman 12-12-2007 08:26 PM

That has to be one of the best disclaimers EVAAARRRRRR

xoxoxoBruce 12-12-2007 10:55 PM

Agreed.

LabRat 12-13-2007 08:58 AM

My gift was ordered yesterday, has been processed, and should arrive on my recipients doorstep in 6-10 business days.

I would guess it is a quote from the recipient of the gift, because of this line:

Anyway, I agree, that's got to be the best Christmas letter ever written, and I'm glad we were allowed to share in it. :)

uh-oh, there's only seven business days until the 25th! Somebody better take a whip to rudolph.... :lol:

monster 12-14-2007 08:21 AM

So my super-conflabulated scientific gift tracking device tells me:

14 sent, 3 received, 1 opened.

That's 6 slackers! We know cic is one of them (;)) -the other 5 need to get a move on or I'll name and shame.....

LabRat 12-17-2007 12:42 PM

Add my name to the gift received pile.

The box is re-closed with hot pink duct tape. That rocks.

zippyt 12-17-2007 05:05 PM

received

monster 12-17-2007 05:12 PM

So that's 15/20 sent :eyebrow:

6/15 received (is the post office or rudolph eating these things? some of them have been in the ether for some time......)

2/6 opened

monster 12-17-2007 05:15 PM

BTW if you've been bad, maybe Santa is intervening and swapping out your cellar pressie for coal and onions and that's why they're delayed. And if you've been good, maybe Santa will send you a pressie even if you didn't ask for one. He's magic like that.

BigV 12-17-2007 05:59 PM

The shipping and receiving department has screened the delivery of my gifts, with the utmost discretion. I didn't even hear them snickering.

Thank you, Santa!

monster 12-17-2007 06:06 PM

in English that means yours has arrived?

BigV 12-17-2007 07:33 PM

My gift has arrived.

It was received at my workplace. The shipping and receiving department, as a matter of course, opened the package. Despite the fact that part of the present was visible upon opening the shipping carton, there were no comments made to me. The package was reclosed, but not resealed, and delivered to me.

When I opened the box, I was highly amused and pleased. I am thankful to my Secret Santa.

/english

monster 12-18-2007 06:58 AM

If you've opened it, you have to share the contents -that was part of the deal. :mad:

Here's the thread, now hop to it!

Maybe it was ordered online? Looks like someone thought you needed help. :lol: I hope you will take care to use each one in the cellar on the appropriate day.
