My Secret Santa forgot to place their handle on the package they sent so I can't thank them directly, but Thank You to Secret Santa for my Catsby Pin.
I am going to store its chrismassy karma up for a blind box bet at next years Pax Aus. :biggrin: Cheerz!!!
My present arrived and judging by the email address on the form its from @grgemonkey ?? =D thankyou so much!!!
I asked for USA candy and i got some really great stuff, everything is some strange exotic flavour (pretzel m&m =O ) I'm really excited to try the Kisses and Hershey bars i love chocolate and i haven't ever had a kiss before (awwww!) But the first thing i had to eat was the hubba bubba Dr pepper my childhood reminds me it should taste like medicine, it never did well here and is notorious for being bad! However the gum taste like cherry flavour! its not bad ive already full for today but im very excited to keep sampling over the next few days ! Thanks!
Lol yeah that was me, I couldn't leave a note but looks like they left enough revealing info :P
The Junior MInts were my only personal choice haha, they might not wow you right on the first mouthful but just give them a chance, soon you won't even know why the box is empty!

This is so true. I am convinced every box of Junior Mints i buy has a fault in the box, that causes them to fall out the bottom and vanish...
I'd imagine the mystery will be solved part way through the second season. The dramatic reveal will be disappointing for all involved. Thankfully a series of events related to the investigation will conspire to keep Coop around long after he should have returned to the regional bureau HQ and the long suffering Diane.

I need to finish watching that damn show. I stopped at the disappointing part.
Got a delivery notification for my secret santa victim...and now we play the waiting game.
A while package appears!
So my SS is much better at this than I am. I put in a quick note of my favorite character from PA being Twisp, which apparently isn't common? Lies, heresy and deceit abound about the best character in the strip!
Pin-wise, not only did Qumaden get me the E.T.C. pin, of which I'm ridiculously obsessed with WoW again due to Warlords of Draenor, I also got the Malfurion blizzard pin >.< I wasn't thinking I could get my hands on ANY of them, and one of the best looking ones he manages to snag.
However, those pins pale in comparison to actually acquiring the Talent Pipes. Name of the Wind/Wise Man's Fear are two of my favorite books and I was really sad when I heard that it was a Prime exclusive pin. I don't do much online trading ( Literally 2 trades, pretty much done simultaneously on here ever ) but I was going to try and get some pipes. Now I don't have to! THANKS :biggrin:
On to the non-pin shenanigans! The print of one of the best Twisp strips is awesome, love it! I'm going to have to buy a frame and put it up on the wall, and actually put up my PAX East Badge/Program display frames up too.
Of note, you did say that you hoped I didn't already have the Twisp shirt, but I do actually own it already. Upon seeing it, I was excited to have another, and it was only reinforced by my wife looking over my shoulder saying "Oh hay, now you can throw out that ratty old one of that shirt that you still keep around".
So in short, thanks @Qumaden for making me feel like I messed up being @pureval's SS, since you did so awesome.
The note actually was one of my favorite parts of it all though, complete with a solution for my problems. I'll let you guys read that, as it was probably one of my favorite parts:
( I put a black bar over your real name in MS Paint after the fact cause I don't know if you are cool with your name being out there or what have you )
I internet stalked the ever loving shit out of you, and all I could find was that you like WoW. Thankfully, you kept your pinny pals profile up to date and gave me enough info on your secret santa info to work with. I'm super happy you like it, I fucking love Christmas.

If you find a DrowningRabbit online, it's not a popular name and is inevitably me. Although I admit I post on SomethingAwful WAY more than here.
You did amazingly well regardless. You make me want to be a better Secret Santa.

Thanks very much for the present, again amazing!
Always wanted to go to Canberra but never have. I'll have to come down one day and visit!

You can have a surprisingly good time but you only need about 3days, 4 if you're really in to political history.
Glad you liked it. These were the pins I've been sweating on arriving the last few weeks. To be honest I wasn't sure if I was ordering the pin backs for you or me, but I figured you could be the one to test out if their locking backs are any better than the ones I bought on ebay.
Also quite happy they delivered them on a Saturday. Aflay got a package I sent at the same time about an hour after you got yours.

They are essentially a 5c coin sized after dinner mint. You just eat them in small handfuls like m&ms...and they are goooood...

Pfft. Who cuts slices.
BILL (FKN) MURRAY, and the coolest Xmas card I've ever received! Nailed it! Awesome pins! Thank you very much!!
The quote was icing on the cake!
Not sure who the my Secret Santa was, though they look to be from the nations capital?
PS. By coincidence, tickets went on sale today to see David Lynch at QAGOMA in March, and I managed to get a couple, what a day!
"Damn fine pins!"
Check 'em: My Pins!
Thanks again! A deft touch with more than a hint of class I must say
"Damn fine pins!"
Sorry, Agent Cooper, you still have an open investigation.
Check 'em: My Pins!
Firstly congrats! Secondly all good!
I'll grab some coffee before investigating further.

Got really excited when I saw the stamp on the outside (original misprint and all!) then opened it up and found wondrous goodies!
Love the pins and pin backs (did I tell you I was looking for locking pin backs, or does your life form have psychic capabilities?)
Favourite part has to be the card though. Awww...
Thanks, fish! You done good.
