One of the best parts of the movie is how lousy Guile is to his friend Charlie
Just calls him out right in front of Bison so even the dimmest of super-villans would know to use him as leverage, consequently turning him into Blanka. What an ass
Thanks very much, Santa! I have not played this game, but have always heard about it. And now I have an excuse to dust off my Wii
Disclaimer: My receiving the gift so late is my fault, not my Santa's. He sent it some time ago, but I had a last minute change of plans and wasn't at my original address during the holiday season.

I had purchased the game on ebay "as new" so bad feedback here we come! :P Hope it all works though.
"Five, take dictation! Post to PA forums, RE: G&T Secret Santa
So I get home from a tough day of work to find this waiting for me. It's from an unknown source, so it must be my SS.
That thing holding the mail is, of course, my trusty 5.3p omnibot lab assistant, "five".
Well, open it up, five.
Whoa, wait just a freaking second here! I'm back from work, but where's my cocktail? Bad Robot!
It appears there is another envelope within the usps's tyvek delivery enclosure. The envelope contains loose leaf pages.
Spread 'em out for me, five.
Ah, and my omnibot has produced a rum and coke. Good work, fiv... arg! No LIME? Bad Robot!
There are six pages, in fact. One handwritten, the others typed.
The handwritten page is interesting. Take this down, five. It reads:
First I want to aplogize, my department has just been shut down. The Director has just resigned, and I don't know what to do next. I found you on the PA Forums, and felt that someone, anyone must know [strike]wh[/strike]what happened here.
In this first mailing I have what I could save [strike]for[/strike] from the 'Z' files. I have to handwrite this memo due to watching eyes (sorry about the penmanship).
No action is [strike]requirell[/strike]required on your part, just keep those in a safe spot [strike]unlit[/strike]until our next contact.
If you go to the media, you will be branded a nut.
But I don't think you will do that.
Thank you,
XXXX (Assistant to Dr. Ron "Tachyon" Fabela)
Four kisses is a lot, don't you think, five?
RESPONSE: SIGNATURE "XXXX" IS AN ALIAS NOT INDICATIVE OF AFFECTION
Ah, what? Yes, well, being branded a nut by the media is nothing I'm unfamiliar with. Haha! Call me mad will they? I'll show them mad. Which reminds me, I have a lot of science to do around here, so... uh... five, scan and post those other pages and get back to me with a brief summary. Good Robot.
SCANS FOLLOW:
PAGE ONE
PAGE TWO
PAGE THREE
PAGE FOUR
PAGE FIVE
SUMMARY OF SCAN: PANDEMIC MISIDENTIFICATION LIKELY SOURCE OF SYMPTOMATIC ABERRATION
Buh? Now what the heck does that mean, five? Can't you see I'm doing work here? You simply must be more succinct. Bad Robot!
REVISED RESPONSE: ITCHY, TASTY
Terrific. Hey! I just scanned this picture my daughter drafted for me! Check it out:
A mermaid walking a dog! Ha! Haha! Yeah. Recommended course of action, five?
RESPONSE: AWAIT FURTHER INTELLIGENCE
Easily done. Hand me that power drill and end dictation. Good Robot."
I should finally have pictures tomorrow or Sunday.
I had to use a little applied science to get the gremlins out of my network. Turns out the magic internet box we got from Comcast needed to be replaced- apparently it was putting the brakes on uploads for no good reeson at all.

Thanks so much . And yes, the swag was awesome. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the Iron Man figurine. He is still rocking out on my desk.
Don't worry about the disks, they play fine (just checked both). I am also all too familiar with the loose usage of the "like new" description on ebay.
Heeeeey, I'm back from Japan! Just finished updating the Flickr, gift wall, and Twitter. Now I just need Santa to deliver my suitcase that got lost in transit...
Oh, hey, top post, here are some pictures from the trip:
Fushimi Inari shrine that had these huge long paths lined with gates:
Golden temple:
We got really pretty pictures when we went to see the gardens in Kanazawa and it was snowing:
Haha that's pretty good, post again with the giftttt.
Also Doc, how close are we to rounding out all gift and giftees now? Close-close or just close?
13 people without gifts
Of those 4 people haven't responded to PMs:
duorcn
gabriel
s-starwind
tycho
(I messaged khoo re: gabriel and tycho and no response there either). I'm assuming these four got their gifts and are fat and happy.
6 people said they've received a note from their Santa saying it's on the way or still being put together.
3 people have said they haven't gotten anything and their Santas have been notified.
Starwind totally has gifts, since I sent them and he said he received them. He just never posted pics.
I don't have gifts, but I received a pre-gift letter and an extensive hand-drawn storybook PM'd to me by a helpful proxy because the post office couldn't be reached before the holidays.

You and me both. Someday. Someday.. Maybe when the house is paid off so I can afford the ticket and the extra charges for the 3 extra suitcases of souvenirs I will be bringing home. :P
Hypatia: Fantastic! Followed along in your blog, too! I was going to log in and update the page but never got a prompt to put in credentials so I just gave up. Sorry about that!
TOH: Good to know, but I still can't get ahold of him. If you can, tell him to PM me!
So earlier this week, I'm compulsively checking my tweets, as one is wont to do when trying to avoid work. When I see this one pop up:
More gifts? Good grief, Mace does Secret Santa up right.
Anywho, I came home today (after a particularly frustrating day of work) to see this waiting for me on my counter:
Creepy pen holder monkey tries to inspect:
Behold! More comics!
Sweet! Ms. Marvel! Awesome, but a little confusing. Didn't Mace gift me a subscription to Marvel comics already?
-- Oh wait. What's that in the corner?
Eeeee! I don't know if you can make it out, but Rebekah Isaacs (who did the art) signed it! To me! OH CRAP! I love her stuff! Eeeee!
I haven't heard of this book, but I can't wait to read it. I know, at the very least, it'll be super pretty.
And there's more!
A primer for the Wildstorm Universe. Which is excellent, since I know nothing about it, but am super excited for DV8 (which is coming out later this year). Flipping through it, I see this:
Sweetness! Background info for DV8! Plus there were 2 promo cards for the series. All of them signed by Rebekah Isaacs. Frikkin' awesome!
Creepy Monkey stares judgmentally over my entire haul (including all this stuff):
Creepy Monkey agrees that Mace wins Christmas.
As a sidenote: I absolutely loved all the comics. I was surprised at how good Hush was. Though, I sort of hate Mace for getting me into all the Batman stuff; I immediately went out and bought the latest Detective Comics, and now I'm sucked in. Dude, do you know how much this'll cost me, now? :P
Also: Communist Superman was fantastic. Batman wearing a hat is probably the best visual ever.
Finally, this wasn't part of my gift, but after hearing about them in the thread, I couldn't help picking up some TimTams after seeing them at Kroger.
Nummy!
After stalking you and seeing your post about Isaacs, I contacted her via facebook and requested her signature on some stuff. She agreed (I was surprised she even replied!) and sent over the comics as requested. However, my apartment mail room fails at life and didn't record the package as having arrived until last week (Isaacs mailed the comics like mid-November). Anyways, props to her for sending them. It was incredibly cool of her.
I hope I'm not one of the guys who had a santa that's mailed something out weeks ago but hasn't arrived yet. I gotta say, I do check the porch with more zeal when I see those "omg out for delivery!" posts, but so far it's just more junk mail. Or bills.
My santa better not be sending me tax forms. I hear those are common in january ;D

The part about asking his kids, I mean. And really, he's one of the best parts of that movie.

Christmas! Sweet!
No seriously, I love Christmas.
Box-opening action while giving the Polytron Corporation some free advertising.
To keep me warm in the cold winter nights!
Or keep this box warm, either's good.
Sweet box of space food, now THAT'S my kind of thing.
A titanium spork, the perfect complement!
Mmmmm, I really want to both see and read this.
No Michael Collins, only the cool astronauts get the ice-cream sandwich.
Never forget.
Meet the whole gang!
Thank you SniperGuy for being a classy dude who understood my need for science and food. Seriously. Cheers man!
I never knew that.
... That is awesome. Man, I need to see this movie again
It was I!

I too am a little lost.
Also, the only thing I can think of when I see the wall is "We're too close!" and "Loosen up!"
Also Doc, how close are we to rounding out all gift and giftees now? Close-close or just close?

Thanks so much

If we do, I've yet to find it. Could be why our space program is essentially a man in a tracksuit climbing a ladder.

That's not too bad seeing how many people are doing it. Well there shouldn't be anyone left behind but people are dicks I guess..
Though it's been like 2 and a half weeks since my package was sent and still nothing...
I never asked for this!
o rite.

Details when I pick up my brain chunks. (Because it exploded, you see.)
Glad you like them
I will post the full story behind their acquisition once you pick up your brain chunks.
