Since I can't find a working camera cable anywhere for my cellphone, words will have to do to describe what treats awaited me back on the third.
-An awesome long written note which was supposed to be read first, though it was at the bottom of the box so it was read last.
-Lego creator: A small pack of Lego which can be used to fabricate three different terrifying beasts, the greatest of which is a gorilla. Gorillas (and Gorillaz) rock!
-Slinky Jr.: Considering i'm in an apartment that has no stairs, forts and constructs need to be engineers from boxes and other fun things to make elaborate slinky courses. A great endeavour in itself!
-Nerf: Specifically, the Nerf Reactor pump action ball shotgun. This thing will be getting modded for sure but the idea of a pump action ball shotgun nerf gun is too wonderful in it's own right.
-Hershey's Kisses: Hot cocoa creme flavour! Had never tried these before but they are amazing! Like a lighter smoother creme chocolate that doesn't ever get sickening. EVER!
-The Master: A dvd of old kung fu tv movies. Three to one disc! This will compliment the final element of this gift beautifully...
-Martini Shaker: YAY! Not only have I been hankering for fun drinks (my mainstay is straight distilled vodka), but long long ago I almost became a bartender. This will be nothing short of awesome to compliment dinners or just general evenings with awesome experimental sensations.
Arikado, this is a FANTASTIC goodie sack you sent out and you should be beaming with pride over doing such an awesome job. Thank you!
My santee already told me he sent the package way back in November, but I got it just today.
The envelope I got contained the first three Transmetropolitan albums. I've seen pictures floating here or there on the internet, and I've always wondered which comics they were from. Right up my alley, and a gift I wouldn't have known to buy for myself either!
I think the paintings will be done pretty much on a first come first served basis (maybe UK folks prioritised at first, just because shipping will obviously be cheaper), so get those emails off quick.
Well I emailed her, I'd love to get an image for myself, possibly for my friends, too...

So I get in yesterday to find a box on my desk, not really thinking it was a Secret Santa one, since it is January (And no, Accualt, that's not a jab at yah... it was totally worth the wait).
I open it up, and i see these things along with very cryptic notes (oh and a copy of City of Villains ... which sadly did not make the picture because i forgot).
But wait, you ask. What is that thing BEHIND BLOOPERS WRESTLING?
Why, it's a chest.
And in this chest... total sweetness:
It is in fact a custom case for my ping pong paddle (he actually included a different one, but i replaced it with mine, which fits perfectly flush with the mold), and a merch/fleshreaper wristband... and my very own Khoo Headband, all of which i guess his wife taught him to cross stitch.
Ok, here I am, FINALLY posting the gift I got from toxk_02. I got it like 2 weeks ago, but just haven't gotten to it between christmas, new years, work and other stuff. I got an amazing assortment of gifts, including (in no particular order, spoilered for h-scroll):
A free round of drinks at Subway (Which is awesome because I need to eat HEALTHY fast food more often)
Some Blue Moon Beads that look like bees and a centipede or something. Anyway's, they look awesome and I'm sure i'll discover a purpose for them :P
An awesome black and white photo of some hardcore dude diving for home. Totally going in my room.
This one was a little unusual, it was a SINGING Spanish-English dictionary.
I kid you not, if opened to the page with hermano on it (means "brother" by the way), revealed a little mechanism that play The Final Countdown with a little note saying "Pay attention in Spanish class, mon frere. I guess that means brother in french. I only realized the true awesomeness of this gift until I watched the next part of this awesome series of presents...
...Season One of Arrested Development!
I had only seen this show disjointedly a few times on TV, so I had no idea how awesome this show was.
I also got 1600 Microsoft points, which was perfect, because I reaally wanted to buy Psychonauts on Live, but I lacked to points to do so. It's an awesome game, by the way, Yahtzee was totally right.
And finally, the first installment of the Han Solo Trilogy, The Paradise Snare by Ann Crispin.
I had read it already, but I only checked it out from the library, so owning it to reread is AWESOME. Now I really want to but the third, seeing as I already have the second.
So, thank you so much for everything toxk! The gifts were awesome!

You're welcome! I was hoping you hadn't read that series but I should have known better. I originally was looking for a Matt Stover book however you seem to have read them all, then I was disappointed to learn his new Star Wars novel isn't out 'til next Oct.
Glad everything got there in one piece and kudos on selecting Psychonauts. :^:
I'm late in saying this, but LewieP's mum rocks. Was a final price ever decided? Methinks I need to start saving my money, because I'd love one in my house.

As far as I am aware, she has said she wants to charge her costs (£10 for materials, and however much P&P costs) and then if you want to/can afford to then buy some stuff from Oxfam Unwrapped.
She has requests of (iirc) 6 paintings to do so far, so at a rate of one a month, that's a 6 months waiting time. I say find something you want painted, and email her about it asap.

Haha, that Spanish-English dictionary was so awesome!
Has there been any word from those missing Santas, Captain K?
Note: by posting this, I'm pretty much karmically assuring that my gift arrives tomorrow, thus making me look like a tool.
you never think it'll happen to you, and when it does, your world falls apart I keep going down to the post office, thinking, TODAYS THE DAY, only to be greeted with bills and male enhancers. I got the short end this year.

That wasn't what I had in mind...
NOW IT IS!

Well I emailed her, I'd love to get an image for myself, possibly for my friends, too...
I suppose. That is, if any image of a half-naked woman with purple skin is just like a night elf.
Basticle Santa judgement upgraded from Awesome to Awesome!
I got the sweetest secret santa gift from A_ccualt. Pics to follow.
I open it up, and i see these things along with very cryptic notes (oh and a copy of City of Villains ... which sadly did not make the picture because i forgot).
But wait, you ask. What is that thing BEHIND BLOOPERS WRESTLING?
Why, it's a chest.

So sweet!
Thanks man!
Well, unfortunately, i don't have a camera anymore (my phone doesn't count, it doesn't connect to my computer)
But my roommate does. so i'll post pics as soon as he sends them to me
Wow
You got it tho? Thank thy lord.
you didnt get the PM i sent to your anon-o-pm benefactor?
i told him i got your package.
Glad to hear it!
Your package went through many transitions and in the end I was like "fuck it, I'll just send ALL of it."
No he didn't.
BAD ELF!

I got home and found a rain soaked package waiting on my doorstep.
YES! I LOVE PACKING PEANUTS! Wait a second...
It's not just packing peanuts...
It's a game!
There is no name included anywhere on the package. Which amazingly generous person sent me this box of wonder?
So damn awesome
