    Aw. Makes me sad :(

    The following people have not received a gift:
    EggyToast (gift is on the way!)
    PepperSinclaire (gift is on the way!)
    Ruddurball (looking to be the one and only santee with a deadbeat santa?)

    The following people have not gotten back to me so I assume they got a gift (deadbeat santees):
    Gabriel
    Tycho
    S-Starwind

    I'm going to give Ruddurball's Santa a week or so to respond and if he still doesn't respond the banhammer will be lain upon him.

    You can check the Santa Leaderboard for people who haven't posted pictures, either. I'm considering not allowing them to participate next year.

    Either way, we have ONE deadbeat santa. Out of 176 participants. This is pretty phenomenal. You are a classy crew, G&T.

    I am also without a gift, the loot directory just posting the letter I received. I've assumed a gift is forthcoming up until this point, but at the moment I am sans present.

    Found another - Jack Eddy was my Santee, and while I'm given credit on my line, I'm not listed next to his name - nor is his Santee, whom I remember getting his gift because Jack reused my Cuba Cheese Shoppe box! Not a big deal, but for the sake of completeness, and all.

    Ah, my mistake on that, that should be fixed. Not sure on the "toaster link" thing though, is that what youngins are calling it these days?

    You also don't have me listed as Jawa's Santa, which is fair enough because he didn't explicitly post it in the thread when he figured it out.

    Don't take it so hard. Life gets in the way, don't make assumptions.

    Have you tried PMing her?

    Yeah, I just shot her a PM. I think I overreacted because I only got about an hour of sleep yesterday and was in kind of a weird mood.

    So, only one potentially deadbeat santa? That's an awesome record (well, not so awesome for poor ruddurball).

    No worries. I've done this long enough that I figured out just one or two pokes and reminders is enough, and that 99.9% of people seriously love their gifts.

    I stumbled out of bed groggily about 13 hours ago, thinking "I only get one day off this week" and being grumpy when my wife leans around the kitchen door and tells me I have a package from Canada.

    I believe my words were "wwwhaaaaa...eeeeee!"
    pass091.jpg

    I have no pets, so I called my faithful droid/pepper mill R2-R9 over.
    pass092.jpg
    That's it R2, you help me.

    Onwards to Canadian bounty!
    pass094.jpg
    A huge Mario, seemingly in flight when you dangle him from his hat-thread. Awesome! He became fast friends with R2.

    pass095.jpg
    Xmas-themed Kinder eggs! I plan on smashing these open and investigating the contents soon.

    pass095a.jpg
    Smarties! With French words on the packet! I'm conducting a taste-test comparing these to UK Smarties tomorrow (I need some UK Smarties first).

    pass096.jpg
    Aw yeah, genuine Canadian maple syrup! Now we're definitely having pancakes for breakfast. EVERY DAY.

    pass097.jpg
    The whole caboodle. R2 had departed at this point to get blown up by battle droids or something.

    Thank you Sceptre! Feel free to send more maple syrup when you get the chance. :wink:

    I'd just like to chime in and say I'm having a great time with my xmas haul, UEAKCrash :)

    Had a pretty great little moment with the Metal Fucking Christmas CD you gave me too. About 3 weeks ago the band CYNIC was in town (oh my fucking God!) and one of my good friends hanged out with them while she was in the UK last year. Thus, they wanted to hang out around my home town and she asked me to come with D:

    After going to the beach and having a beer, I'm driving them back to their hotel so they can get ready for the gig when the Metal Fucking Christmas CD comes on. As you know, the first few tracks are of the great solo-project, Animals As Leaders. As it's playing, Tymon (a tech death fucking master in my opinion) leans in from the back seat and asks who they are. I let 'em know and we talk about it for a little while with he say's that he'll definitely try to track down a CD because "they sound pretty great".

    So thanks UEAKCrash, you made me look cool in front of one of my favourite bands ever :lol:

    Yeh the CD is getting a lot of spins, moreso the first than the second mostly because I've already got a good deal of the second.

    Castlevania is going pretty well too, turns out I was right to consider buying it and you were very right to buy it for me :D

    I believe there's a slight problem with the board, unless I'm reading it wrong. I was travathian's santa (and he was my santee), and while I don't know for sure who my santa was, given the fact our names are linked (though they are backwards) I imagine it was Lightor216.
