I just ate another one in your honor. I have a stack of four boxes of them just sitting next to my computer. I am going to be so fat.
Silly Doc, you must eat them Tim Tam Slam style! =D
Yeah, my bad for not including eating instructions with the Tim Tams, the nibble dunk is definitely essential. I hope you enjoy all the chocolaty goodness

Dear Santa,
I waited to open my presents until I had my santees packages away. So my reward for a couple weeks of procrastination and failed stalking were as follows
A giant Tome of Trivia knowledge, to better assist my attempts to play 1v100 on my nights off:
1600 Microsoft Moonbucks for being awesome at trivia:
John Dies At The End, which shall be devoured shortly:
Additionally, I received a pair of ingame pets for WoW, which I was going to purchase for my fiance (she has like 80 pets in game, no joke). So I gave them to her. She thanks you, Dear Santa.
The Spread:
But what is that friendly blue face among the loot? And why is his other side black? Someone to my north will better know the answers to these questions soon enough. Aforementioned fiance may have been drafted to assemble him.
Scotty: Did you happen to get the base from Michael's? I discovered them there as well, but not before I already made one of two sculptures on a half-assed one that I cut myself. The ones from Michael's are much better, but I wish the wood wasn't so damn soft (for staining/urethane)
Figgy, go to your local Home Depot, (if you have one) and look in their wood section where they keep their parts for building banisters and such. The one's I buy are made of OAK. Very strong, and they already have a hole in the middle of them.
So, I got some bad news this morning, my xbox, has passed away. The cause of death is thought to be the dreaded ring of death, and foul play is not suspected.
Spaniard, I'm getting a small taste of how you must feel, to all of you who have your xbox, wiii ands playstations to hold this holiday season, hold them tightly.

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.
So I just want to say to my Santee I'm sorry your gift isn't there yet, Canada post isn't helping me as their online tracking has said its in the us for 5 days now and without giving anything away from the border your place is at most a day away. Hope its there in time for Christmas.

Pricey? They had more sturdy ones at Michael's, made for clock faces, but they were like $10 for a 5x5 base. The ones I found were like 89 cents, albeit less solid.
So I received a proxy message telling me my gift had arrived this morning. My initial excitement was quickly met with the realization that my buildings leasing office (where packages go) is closed on Sundays, and I died a little inside. However, I decided to go check my mailbox anyway, realizing I forgot to do so yesterday, and there wedged inside my mailbox was a beautiful parcel. Using the word wedged is an understatement, the mailman literally filled up every inch of my mailbox with this package. After spending the better part of an hour trying to pry the box free from the womb in which it was lodged, I was finally successful.
Upon opening the gift, I shed a tear as I saw the lovely bounty that awaited....(pictures were taken with my iphone, pardon the crappiness)
Trader Joes Peanut Butter Cups. You clearly have some sort of telepathic stalking ability. Peanut Butter cups are my favorite food group, and I suspect these will be gone by the time i'm finished posting this.
1600 Xbox Live Points. Once again, excellent choice. There are quite a few Rock Band 2 songs I've been meaning to purchase, and this will give me the means to do so.
Tales of Vesperia. Another excellent choice! I love the Tales series, but had not gotten around to playing this one yet. You are correct that I do not own any RPGs on the 360, but I have beaten a few that I rented through GameFly (Lost Odyssey, Last Remnant, Star Ocean). I am very excited to spend my xmas vacation playing the hell out of this.
World War Z. I do already own this book (and ADORE it). I'm fairly certain Max Brooks has some sort of PA Secret Santa brainwash thing going on, as it appears that 50% of SS Gifts here include this book (including my gift to DHS Odium). Don't worry though, this will not go to waste. I have a bunch of friends who wanted to borrow it, and now I can let them.
Torchlight via Steam. I have played the hell out of this game on my friends laptop, but never got around to purchasing for it myself. Now I can play it whenever I like, thank you!
The whole haul!
Thank you very much mystery santa (Darunia? I'm guessing from the avatar pic), I couldn't be more pleased with the gifts you bestowed upon me. You did a great job, especially since I didn't give you much to stalk off of. You rock!

If I remember correctly, they were about $3.00-5.00 Canadian depending on size. (oak bases at HD)
They are perfect really, and I find they always have them in stock.:^:
Well Scotty's gift has been sent out.. Everyone can go home now.. Christmas is over!

Sorry about the delay, I get my stuff shipped to my mom's house and she didn't bother to tell me I had a package until I finally texted her and asked if there was anything addressed to me.
So I opened everything up and got someone to take pictures, all I have to do is resize them and edit it all together. So, pics incoming.
Thanks Figgy, this shit is pretty awesome.

So I arrive at my mom's house to start unpacking everything. They've got me all set up on the table and such. I didn't get a picture of it cause it's got my real name on it, but someone's added "The Wrench" to my name and my parents are amused by this.
I didn't think to ask for someone to get the camera until I'd started opening it, and all of the in-process pictures of me are really unflattering, so I'll just post pictures of the stuff inside.
First up was a card with an envelope that said "Open me!" so I did.
Again, I didn't get pictures, but they were all wrapped in wrapping paper very nicely. A good presentation.
The first package I opened contained lots and lots of candy! Sweet! One of the kinder eggs busted open a little in transit, but it's still tasty.
Up next is some kind of book-shaped package. Oh, it's a book!
Sweet! I always wanted to read this, but never got around to it, and I love zombies. A good choice.
Another rectangular package is up next. Another book, perhaps?
Nope! Master of Orion 3. Never played it, but I keep hearing people gush about it on here, so I guess I'll have to give it a shot. Appears to be sealed? Nice.
Another box-shaped box is up. Another game maybe?
It is, but not the kind I was thinking of. I wonder how this plays? It looks kind of interesting.
Now, on the declarations form on the front, I had seen that this contains clay sculptures, and there's only one box left, so this must be it. I wonder what's in there? It's packed pretty tight with noodly packing material, but eventually I pull out...
Moustachio the Pistachio! Wow! He looks great, though shipping has taken a toll on his arms.
There's something else in there, so I dig a little deeper...
A hand-sculpted power armor bust? Holy crap! That's amazing!
Wow! What a haul. I've already dug into some of the candy and it is pretty fantastic. I just realized I didn't get a shot of the inside of the card, but rest assured that it is sufficiently phallic for PA.
All in all it's a great Christmas! Thanks a ton, Figgy!

So, I got some bad news this morning, my xbox, has passed away. The cause of death is thought to be the dreaded ring of death, and foul play is not suspected.
Spaniard, I'm getting a small taste of how you must feel, to all of you who have your xbox, wiii ands playstations to hold this holiday season, hold them tightly.
Sorry your Xbox red-ringed, but unless it detonated when it did taking out your saves, other systems, and games, I'd say it's just a liiiiitle different. :P

Seriously, I didn't want to be a dick, but I can't believe someone compared their Xbox Redringing to what happened to you.
Am I permabanned if my package doesn't go out till this week?
In other news, first one is complete, and looks badass. Sanding/painting the second one now. Mods have already been done, just finish work!
I dunno.
IIRC there were deadlines last year but I don't see any in this years OP.
I think the main thing is to try to get it there by christmas.
If you can't do that at least send your santee a note letting them know it's on the way and will be late. That's better than nothing.
I still haven't gotten anything and unless the OP list hasn't been updated recently it would appear a lot of people are in the same boat. Gifts seemed to go out a lot earlier last year for some reason; maybe this year people are just waiting to try to get things there right at Christmas instead of late November. I would say that anyone who knows, or thinks, that their santee isn't going to get their package by Christmas, they should contact an elf and let their santees know that is the case so people don't get worried and/or mad.
Last year I believe a few people got their gifts after the new years but Doc put a final day to say "if it's not there, gtfo".
EDIT: And dude wasn't saying "ZOMG getting red ringed is exactly like getting all my shit stolen!!". Relax.
One last parcel. Feels soft and squishy. Like ... hand-crafted goods!
I have been going like this: :O since I opened them. Its two little deku (ok - korok, really) dudes, Makar the cello-style violin player, and super cute Rown, from Wind Waker! They are *adorable*.
Who could have got such amazing presents? Doc Holliday, of course. King of Christmas. Dude, thank you so much. You're amazing, you ran my favorite Let's Play -- you totally made my week. I am showing everybody these goodies. Thank you!

You know it turns you on when I get all overprotective of you.
So I've had these on my coffee table for the past week and a half or so, and I've held back on posting because my Santa says there's one more gift on the way (holy crap!!!), but I want to make sure to get these up before the holidays so everyone can see how awesome my Santa was.
First, an important instructional manual.
Next up is a masterpiece of modern cinema which I have been amiss in not watching up until now - Santa wins again!
Thirdly, proof that today's kids have it a hell of a lot better than we ever did. It even comes with the Kraken! This is amazing.
And finally, a game I've heard incredible things about. I absolutely can't wait to play this.
So Santa, these are stupidly awesome, and I can't thank you enough. And I can't believe that there's apparently one more gift on the way! Whoever you may be, you win Christmas.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, orcs and gnomes!
Gather around, for I have news!
After a week of waiting I can officially say...
GIFT GET!!!!!!!!!
I got home today to finally recieve the package that has been waiting for me
Bailey looks dinstinctly bored by this new arrival...
Until he's told that there are gifts within! I can't hold him back!
Fearing his young-dog ways of thinking, I retreat to the bedroom before he tears the gift apart.
DECAPITATIOOOOOOOOOOON!
But what is contained within?
Awesome! 2100 MS points. Now I can finally get all the things I've wanted for so long, where to start, Dr.Ned? Shadow Complex? Who knows?!
But wait, what's this? There's more! The attached invoice reads:
"Hello, and seasonal greetings from your Secret Santa. This is a small item to hold you over - the other item unfortunately might take a tiny bit longer. Your Secret Santa."

See, I think last year we started the whole SS stuff way earlier. There was a point where I started PMing important people to see what the hell was going on and why there wasn't a thread at all.
And yea, RROD isn't the same as getting robbed. Although, after my fourth RROD, it has robbed me of my dignity, as I keep buying new 360s (but this latest is an arcade that I looked at the skew before buying so I am safe for now).

IIRC there were deadlines last year but I don't see any in this years OP.
I think the main thing is to try to get it there by christmas.
If you can't do that at least send your santee a note letting them know it's on the way and will be late. That's better than nothing.
I still haven't gotten anything and unless the OP list hasn't been updated recently it would appear a lot of people are in the same boat. Gifts seemed to go out a lot earlier last year for some reason; maybe this year people are just waiting to try to get things there right at Christmas instead of late November. I would say that anyone who knows, or thinks, that their santee isn't going to get their package by Christmas, they should contact an elf and let their santees know that is the case so people don't get worried and/or mad.
Last year I believe a few people got their gifts after the new years but Doc put a final day to say "if it's not there, gtfo".
EDIT: And dude wasn't saying "ZOMG getting red ringed is exactly like getting all my shit stolen!!". Relax.

Down boy, I don't think he meant anything by it.
Also fuck I think the buglers might have damaged my computer when they dropped it, because it just randomly shut off for no good reason when I was playing Torchlight.
You know it turns you on when I get all overprotective of you.
First, an important instructional manual.
Next up is a masterpiece of modern cinema which I have been amiss in not watching up until now - Santa wins again!
Thirdly, proof that today's kids have it a hell of a lot better than we ever did. It even comes with the Kraken! This is amazing.
And finally, a game I've heard incredible things about. I absolutely can't wait to play this.
So Santa, these are stupidly awesome, and I can't thank you enough. And I can't believe that there's apparently one more gift on the way! Whoever you may be, you win Christmas.
I'm sure I saw these guys on Americas most wanted

Sad times.
Good lord, thats not what I meant at all.
Icemopper is your boyfriend?

Man, I feel for you. My wife and I had to make that decision for our dog a year ago, extremely tough saying bye to a pet. (a family member really)
Take care man.
Gather around, for I have news!
After a week of waiting I can officially say...
I got home today to finally recieve the package that has been waiting for me
Bailey looks dinstinctly bored by this new arrival...
Until he's told that there are gifts within! I can't hold him back!
Fearing his young-dog ways of thinking, I retreat to the bedroom before he tears the gift apart.
But what is contained within?
Awesome! 2100 MS points. Now I can finally get all the things I've wanted for so long, where to start, Dr.Ned? Shadow Complex? Who knows?!
But wait, what's this? There's more! The attached invoice reads:
"Hello, and seasonal greetings from your Secret Santa. This is a small item to hold you over - the other item unfortunately might take a tiny bit longer. Your Secret Santa."
So...the waiting...starts again?!
Thank you, so far, mysterious Austrian Santa! (Christkind?)
Somehow this years Secret Santa thread is both the best and worse ever.
and both my posts seem to be totally inappropriate :-(. Worst timing.
That's awful for you Ice
And yea, RROD isn't the same as getting robbed. Although, after my fourth RROD, it has robbed me of my dignity, as I keep buying new 360s (but this latest is an arcade that I looked at the skew before buying so I am safe for now).
