    So we're still sorting packages here for Christmas since my mom can't follow instructions... but the bf told me he was pretty sure I had a gift from my REAL Secret Satans.
    You see, we got a really awesome cat condo and thought it was from my Secret Satans... nope... from my mom. So I wasn't sure.

    Spoiler'd for hugeness and catness.

    It's hard to tell here, but this is another Doctor Who thing; a lovely poster (I haven't unwrapped it, because the cats will destroy it. I'll get it framed first!)

    The cats deciding what to destroy next...


    Thank you very much... @Sheri! :D:D:D

    You are very welcome! More will come after Christmas, once I have finished your scarf! :biggrin:

    Wait what?
    Why associate the concept of singularity with satan?
    They're practically polar opposites.
    Consider me weirded out.

    SE++ was recently renamed from social entropy to singularity engine (I think it was engine) and the SE secret Santa was always called secret satan and that's how this thread title came to life when the threads got moved to the holiday forum.

    Thank you very muchly, @DaMoonRulz‌! I look forward to plenty of rage induced aneurisms on my return.

    I think I'm going to need to do a consolidated post here because since my last post @DaMoonRulz‌ has definitely not relented in his Satanly deeds.

    Over the past few days I've checked my email at the end of the day and discovered the following:

    You magnificent bastard. The note said this would be my last gift unless a package didn't arrived yet which this is all I've received besides the pizza so I don't know if there is something else or not.

    Either way, kudos to Xaquin a Satan of the highest order.

    You already got the other package (it was the Batman Posters!)

    Merry Christmas sir!

    Incidentally, I either have a lifelong friend or a sworn enemy at that pizza place lol

    Oh yeah, I blanked on that. You're the best you magnificent bastard!

    Miss @DirtyDirtyVagrant‌ (who has taken an extended leave from the Penny Arcade forums) would like to thank the mystery gifter who bought her a rice cooker. There was no note or wrapping but she's very excited about it!

    rice cookers are amazing, though my favourite use for mine isn't even rice

    SAGAT SATAN YOU GLORIOUS SON OF A BITCH

    dnd.jpg

    Thank you so much for this! Now I really have no excuse but to run those damn campaigns I've been threatening for months.

    You guys I'm seriously curious and a little freaked out by this Sagat Satan character. Is it a singular, independently wealthy forumer (seriously, he/she has easily spent 4 figures just on gifts for forumers) who loves spreading cheer? Is it some kind of hive mind christmas conglomerate? IS IT A TAX HAVEN THING?

    In Sagat Satan's twilight years I want there to be a TV special about how that person has touched so many lives and helped make everyone's holidays that much better.

    Then, at the end, the host will ask for all those affected by Sagat Satan's generosity to stand up, and one at a time everyone in the audience stands up.

    Music swells, close up of eyes shimmering with tears, freeze frame, fade to black, roll credits.

    Sagat Satan's entrance is announced, the curtain pulls back and a man who is the combination of Kingpin from Daredevil and also The Grinch steps out, lighting a cuban with a hundred dollar bill.

    He explains that you all owe him a lot of money since the gifts were loans and he expects monetary repayment with interest and this was all laid out in plain english in that contract you unknowingly signed when you were at the bank back in April.

    His army of lawyer footsoldiers flood from behind the curtain wielding their briefcase-sub machine guns as Sagat Satan's laugh grows to a cackle

    Sagat Satan reminisces about the greatest cage fighter of all time, Iron Fist Satan. When asked what happened to him, Sagat Satan replies, "He retired...and became me."

    20141223_130320_zpsvbvjtp6r.jpg

    I say think because the note says Tiger Uppercut but instead of being from Sagat Satan it is from a real name which I will not divulge here.

    I may know Sagat Satan's identity though...or someone else sent it to me with that same message

    Well then. Yesterday, as I was walking out the door, I got a parcel. I snapped some quick pictures before I really had to leave, so I'll be able to properly look at them about nowish, but here it all is. Unfortunately, my cat had wandered off into the valley, so he wasn't around for it.

    YBLoB0Y.jpg?2

    And so, first of all, we have this book. It's about Ivan Orkin, a "middle-age Jewish guy from Long Island", who, in 2007, went and opened a ramen restaurant in Tokyo. He was pretty successful, and since then, he's gone and opened another restaurant in New York, and I think I went there when I was last in New York. It's part memoires, part cookbook, and I am looking forward to this like all hell. Ramen isn't as big a thing over here, so it's really cool having something like this. I'm a big fan of cooking, and I'm going to like this quite a lot.

    26DTjrI.jpg?2

    The other book was an art book by Ken Taya, who does a whole bunch of really cool things. Yesterday, I was in such a rush that I only really got to have a look at the first few pages of things, but there is a lot of really, really cool art in here.

    And yeah, that's it. I couldn't find any notes in the box, so I'm still not entirely sure who my Satan was. I do greatly appreciate them sending this all to Australia, and for picking some really, really nice things when I didn't have anything by way of a wishlist. Thanks ever so much.

    Another post to my satan: hello! I am not currently at my apartment; if anything is being sent over the holidays and is supposed to be there, please give me a shout. I can head over there to pick up the note/package at the post office. Otherwise I'll probably be back Friday/Saturday and then maaaaaaybe some time next week? (The difficulty is that my carpool driver is off work all next week and staying at my parents' place means I don't need to use public transit.)

    Cheers!

    @Robert Khoo‌ This is amazing. We have one pretty decent ramen place that I know of in Sydney, so I know a bit of what I'm getting into, but I am so stoked to have something like this. Being able to cook these things is going to be absolutely great. Thanks ever so much, and I really hope you have a fantastic Christmas. I am grinning from ear to ear now that I've found you message. The art book is also incredibly cool.
    Thank you once again.

    Sitting at home, wrapping gifts and prepping for to see my family tomorrow when my doorbell rings.

    I step outside to see a large brown truck pulling away and a cardboard box on my porch.

    I bring it inside to get it out of the rain, and it's a ThinkGeek box! With my name on it!

    I cut it open, when a silver shining jewel meets my eye.

    Holy FUCK.

    I immediately grab my old crappy $20 Jansport pack and empty it gladly. It's been okay, but oh man I've been wanting this backpack so badly. So badly.

    I don't know if it was from my Secret Satan or what, as there was only a packing slip with a name, but whoever you are, thank you so much.

    So a couple days ago I got a text from my sister saying a package from Amazon had arrived at my parent's house. Like a complete fool I spent two days scratching my head and trying to figure out what exactly I had ordered. Imagine my surprise when I finally got the chance to pick it up today and discovered a gift package with this lovely note!
