Just finished my last exam of the term, came home to stuff my belly full of McDonalds and other comfort food when I hear a knock at my door. Turns out to be a box of joy and goodies! Just in time for me to actually be able to enjoy them rather than be stressing about papers and exams!
So thank you David from Seattle... whoever you are!
You're very welcome! It's a goddamn Christmas miracle you put your gamertag in one of your posts. I was going crazy trying to figure out what to get you.
Glad everything got there, TDWH. Regarding American Movie, I saw it a few years ago while staying with some friends while we were in a cabin in Northern California. The movie just totally captured me and I recommend it to a lot of people.
The murlocs have already caused some tears though. As soon as I took them out of their bags (not pictured) my 15mo daughter made a beeline for them and made getting the picture awfully hard. She's got enough stuffed animals. These are going on my shelf, tears or not. :P
When I first read that, I thought you meant your daughter made a beeline for the bags after you took them off. And since you talked about the tears they had caused... for a second it sounded like this was headed into another Christmas tragedy for the thread
But then it turns out you're just a mean ol' dad who keeps all the cool toys to himself, so it's all good!
Apparently I was supposed to get this on the 9th but the Canada Post didn't leave a notice behind (If they came at all!) Anyway I went to the Office and picked it up this morning
Oh glorious box bearing glorious contents.
What's this? Open them in order? Fineeee.
Oh yeah, COOKIESSS!! (plus a recipe =D)
The label does not lie, they were deeeeelish.
First up we have a notebook with a smoking monkey on the cover!! I see the avatar reference here, heh. I have a moleskine that I carry around everywhere but this definitely has a lot more sass. By the way, I stuck your post-it notes on the first 5 pages!
Since I have no cute pets, the various ducks around my room will have to do. Next up: MUSIC!! CDs were produced by short-lived bands that my Santa was acquainted with. Can't get more indie than that!
Third: WTFFFF ZOMGZOMG!! UKULELE HERO!!!...wait..that doesn't exist..right? Oh I see, it's actually "Little Big Planet"!! This is so rad, I was curious about this one, plus it's real! (I refuse to ever take off the beautiful cover, though)
Okay..last one...holy shit is this what I THINK IT IS??
IT IS!!! Soo fucking gorgeous. Behold, a black flying V Mahalo ukulele:
Perfect alongside my red Mahalo Uke! Same brand! Oh Santa, you psychic, you.
The whole thang:
minus the cookies because I was eating them.
Thank you thank you thank you to MR. HEIST and HIS WIFE!!! I know it must have been tough stalking as I don't post often, but you've done a perfect job. These gifts are incredibly thoughtful and totally made my year. I will try your recipe soon, replace my Moleskine, give those tunes a listen, play LBP, and rock that ukulele like it was meant to be rocked (oh wait, it is.). In fact, I'm getting a third uke from a friend in Hawaii right now so hey, Ukulele Hero will happen. THANKS AGAIN, HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I HOPE YOU RECEIVE AN AMAZING GIFT TOO!
Yay! It finally showed up!I was getting worried that it wasn't arriving (thought maybe the customs dudes were stealing some cookies) and when I finally figured out the tracking info only to see that they had tried to deliver it four times over the course of three hours without leaving a single notice when they gave up... well bah humbug to them!
Anyways, hope the cookies didn't go stale in the wait- usually they hold up in a sealed bag pretty well, and Canada's pretty much like a giant freezer anyway, so maybe that helped. My wife sighed a big sigh when she saw at least they still look somewhat like cookies after their trek.
And yeah, since there wasn't much to stalk you on (I think Doc must've lumped the lurkers together this year) thanks for sending that awesomely helpful info with the initial note. Going from that I was just clicking through gathering ideas on Amazon, and when I saw that God of all musical instruments, everything just seemed to click. I didn't know such radness existed in the world.
Hell, I don't have any pets but seeing it in person made my dog have fleas!
Hopefully the music aligns with your tastes at least somewhat- it seemed like it might, but who knows with you kids and your rock 'n roll and your not getting of my damn lawn!
Also, I'm pretty sure this will be coming out sometime this year:
Thanks for being a fun Santee, and I'm glad things made it there eventually! Have a merry Christmas, ho ho ho and all that jazz!
What is that chick's name? I just know her as present face girl.
Also, some epic hauls going on!
Herpes, you'll love de Blob, really well put together game.
and I'm pretty sure a flying V Uke is the coolest thing I've seen in quite some time!
I sent my gift out nearly amonth ago now, this sucks! Stupid air mail. I know I won't be able to do shit about it until 6 weeks because they quote a 2 week but up to 6 weeks delivery time.

Her name is Kate Micucci, which allows her to make a great dirty pun when she does shows.
She's in a band called Garfunkel and Oates with another actress. They are very much "that guy/girl!" actresses.

Hell, I know Kate as the "Is what I would say!" girl from the "Atlantic City" episode of HIMYM. I know the other girl as the depressed bulimic flower from a Pushing Daisies episode and as a girl who insults her lover's sexual prowess in a pizza commercial. Both have odd but unforgettable faces.
Santa, I won't be back at my given address until the 10th. So please wait on sending until then because I don't know what'll happen if it shows up before then

Woot, my awesome Santa got an awesome gift! That Uke is amazing.

Want to find me on a gaming service? I'm SwashbucklerXX everywhere.
So I'm in the kitchen, making lasagna, minding my own business, when someone knocks on the door. After I subdued my overzealous guard dogs I see that it is none other then the post person
Leeroy is not pleased.
What ever happened to bubble wrap? This is stuff is WAY harder to pop.
Included with the gift was this note. Sorry about my lack of posts, in the new year I promise I will post atleast three time as much.
Finally, the main event, what could it contain?
Notice my trusty knife waiting in the wings.
That's right, a throat mic. I feel a sudden need to go hunt down terrorists.
Man I need a haircut...
Me with my new toy.
Thankyou so much Dude with Herpes, I may have to steal a friends xbox just to try this puppy out.
This was my first Secret Santa on PA and it has been a blast, thank you to my awesome SS and everyone who keeps this awesome thread... awesome.

Ohmygod! The clerk at the marriage place? I have to go check!
Also, mere days after the last post...
GIFTAAAAAAAGE
This morning, while watching Bender's Big Score,
My dog went insane and ran to the door.
But what could it be?
It appears it's another package for me!
While Bailey moves in as safety detection,
I tear it apart for a closer inspection.
And what do I find?
An encyclopedia to fill my mind!
So thank you dear Santa of holiday cheer,
For providing all of this christmas gear!
Now the gifts are received, there's still one final task:
Reveal yourself here is all that I ask!
So up to when to Santa's have to send their present? I have not received mine yet and just wondering? If your out there Santa PM me if your having issues!

The points card was a hold over for the real gift, the game plan book. After seeing your profile, I decided that that this is just the book you need, but unfortunately it was sold out in English everywhere, except for Amazon Japan. Luckily I remembered a nice specialty shop in Vienna ( subotron.at ) and after a few emails a copy was secured for you and on its way.
