Just wanted to put a quick post up to let my satan know my gift arrived! I will post the grand unboxing photos once I have a little spare time, even though they are crappy cell phone pics! Thank you so much Digeridoo, the gifts were fantastic and you have impeccable taste in movies and tv and awesome man eating plant-life!
Whoop, sorry for the late reply, was out of town! Glad you liked the gifts, Dougy, and glad it all arrived in one piece.

glad you enjoyed the gifts Keith! You should be seeing one other small gift in a couple weeks, I dunno why but for some reason the shipping on it was listed as like Jan 24th.
My parents called me up to tell me there were two packages from Amazon at their house for me. I knew it had to be from this 'cause I haven't ordered anything, so I zipped right over, grabbed them, and zipped on back
These boxes are relatively big but not heavy so I'm wondering what's in them. I don't even remember what I've put on my wishlist at this point
Of course, I go for the longer package first (right, ladies? Right??). I bust it open and had the biggest smile on my face
BEAGLE-OPOLY
I didn't even know this existed, so it wasn't on my wishlist. My Satan did some research (into my billions of posts saying beagles are the best dogs). I'm gonna try to sucker some friends into playing this next time I can. I'm 100% sure I'll just keep giggling at all the beagles on it because that's what I'm doing now.
After that I go for the shorter (but thicker) box. Pop that sumbitch open and what do we have?
The CORN DOG MAKER.
You don't even know how much I love corn dogs and it has been forever since I've had one. I've already eaten dinner but I'm probably gonna hook this shit up and eat at least one
Then the note
Thanks, dougyfresh. I'll totally let you know how the corn dogs turn out. You've brought me the gift of food and adorableness and that's really what Christmas is all about (even Jesus agrees)
The Best Pet-able Dogs and Best Edible Dogs await me
K-Diddy Kitty is curious at these mysterious packages.
"Gasp! An open box!"
"With stuff inside!"
"Well this stuff is nice, so what'd you get?"
I apparently got some notes.
Thanks Geebs, the cat and I love it!
Stuff Shot:
oh hey! amazon shipped that about a week earlier than I thought they would so I completely missed this (I was gonna look for this post like, tomorrow)

I got caught up in work today and only barely made it to the post office to pick up my package, but realised too late I'd gone to the wrong post office! So there I was, on my way back to the office and getting into a good wallowing over this, unable to take my mind of it because I'd just finished my most recent book (Children of the Sky, Vernor Vinge, nice but not as good as the previous two in the series) when!
I despodently checked my email and noticed that I had a bunch of emails from Amazon.com, all titled "A Gift from Your Secret Satan"!
In the event that you haven't received your gift at the post office tomorrow, I'm sending some of your digital gifts early.
Lay back and enjoy the pop-corn adventures, a bit of dystopia, some dogma, & some
incredulousness.
Expect some more goodies this Christmas!
Wait, some of my digital gifts? And more in the post?
To illustrate how excited I was to get these emails, I just spilled fish soup all over my keyboard. I mean, not intentionally, it just happened because I was so excited.
Have you ever wondered how one day the media can assert that alcohol is bad for us and the next unashamedly run a story touting the benefits of daily alcohol consumption? Or how a drug that is pulled off the market for causing heart attacks ever got approved in the first place? How can average readers, who aren’t medical doctors or Ph.D.s in biochemistry, tell what they should be paying attention to and what’s, well, just more bullshit?
This is fantastic. Someone recommended this in the books thread and I was all "yup, got to reads that!" Because while I like to think of myself as a bit of a sceptic, knowing how to be a sceptic sounds like a good idea to make sure I don't just talk out of my own ass all the time. (Some of the time is fine.)
The Magic of Recluce is a carefully-plotted fantasy novel of character about the growth and education of a young magician. In it, Modesitt confronts real moral issues with gripping force, builds atmosphere slowly and convincingly and gives his central character, Lerris, real intellectual challenges. This is the kind of highly-rationalized fantasy that Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson write when they write fantasy, colorful and detailed.
With the next Song of Ice and Fire book roughly a decade away, and every other fantasy series I ever cared about on just about the same schedule (why oh why did I start The Way of Kings when it's on book one? At least with Wheel of Time I could read the first seven back to back!), this is great. I've had it recommended to me, and I thought it sounded really really good, so this is probably going to be the first book I crack open!
Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"?
Troubling questions—so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud.
But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them?
What if it is God who wants us to face these questions?
Okay, I'm an atheist. Have been since age 15, for initially losely defined reasons that have been tinged with more and more certainty over the years. But I also have a very good friend who is a Methodist minister, and he recommended me this book. Uh-oh, you may think. I've certainly been recommended enough religious books, and I rarely have much patience with them. But! He's currently reading a book I recommended him (Identity and Violence, Amartya Sen), and we're friends for a reason. If he tells me I'll like this, I trust him. So all in all this should be a very interesting read.
Johannes Cabal, a brilliant scientist and notorious snob, is single-mindedly obsessed in heart and soul with raising the dead. Well, perhaps not soul... He hastily sold his years ago in order to learn the laws of necromancy. But now, tormented by a dark secret, he travels to the fiery pits of Hell to retrieve it. Satan, who is incredibly bored these days, proposes a little wager: Johannes has one year to persuade one hundred people to sign over their souls or he will be damned forever.
Yesssss. Pulpy goodness. The premise is great, the cover is great, the word of mouth is excellent. This is going to be a nice relaxing read.
Words words words words words words words.
Oh... oh no! Infinite Jest! I had a rather silly internet argument about this book and I don't know why! Now I'm actually going to read it? My denouncements can no longer be based on Internet Opinion? But without them I will lose all my Internet Troll power!
Awesome! I can't wait to start!
Thank you (currently) nameless Satan! I can't wait to start reading!

Not only have I received this incredible bounty...
...but THERE IS ALSO MORE ON THE WAY. INCLUDING CARAMILK. I LOVE CARAMILK. I WILL STOP SHOUTING NOW. NOT REALLY. OH I DIDN'T MENTION LEAGUE OF LEGENDS CODES! I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE FOR YET BUT I AM EXCITED TO FIND OUT!
Okay, I'll stop shouting now. Seriously, I've always been a big fan of P&T and I'm genuinely looking forward to experiencing Black Dynamite.
AND CARAMILK!!!! (If you haven't experienced Caramilk, it's like Caramello except not made with wood pulp as the primary ingredient).
