This would be a good movie to send to iMOTOR:

iMOTOR · Nov 11, 2008, 04:18 PM

Actually, a 30pack of these would be more in order:

Why use those when this will suffice?

Dakar V · Nov 11, 2008, 04:23 PM

Quick, quick, someone else post a pic!

calverson · Nov 11, 2008, 04:27 PM

Alright you scrooges, you need to get in the holiday spirit and set up yourself with a wish-list on Amazon. Otherwise you're all getting lumps of coal.

calverson · Nov 11, 2008, 04:33 PM

???

calverson · Nov 11, 2008, 04:34 PM

How many lumps of coal?

Peter · Nov 11, 2008, 04:40 PM

Laminar · Nov 11, 2008, 04:53 PM

And the thread takes a turn for the better. He'll never see this.

besson3c · Nov 11, 2008, 04:54 PM

How do I know that you clowns won't send me a dildo or something once I give out my mailing address?

If, by default he subscribes to threads by e-mail, he will, as he was the last poster.

You don't - but that is half the fun.

It'll be fun.
Please!

calverson · Nov 11, 2008, 06:42 PM

Who is the SS?

Anyone here grow up knowing it as KK?

brassplayersrock² · Nov 11, 2008, 06:45 PM

Doood, how many times do I have to say it . . . Amazon wish list.

Make up a list, fill it with items less than USD$20 and your secret santa can send them to you without you ever knowing who is the santa and without the santa knowing your real identity and/or where you live. Geez!

Besides, what's wrong with a clown dildo?

rickey939 · Nov 11, 2008, 08:55 PM

rickey939, gorickey, and ManOfSteal are all in.

Shaddim · Nov 11, 2008, 09:07 PM

Count me in, could be... interesting.

Laminar · Nov 11, 2008, 10:08 PM

New list!

Code:
-Peter
-shifuimam
-osiris
-dcmacdaddy
-SpaceMonkey
-Laminar
-calverson
-rickey939
-Shaddim
-brassplayersrock²

How about setting some deadlines? Say your last chance to sign up for the secret Santa is the 15th of November, at which point all participants will be asked to PM their name, address, Amazon wish list, and social security number ha! to Santa by November 20th. Santa will then perform a Christmas miracle and assign each participant someone to give a gift to, and send that person's contact info to their assigned gift-giver. This way each person has a full month to procrastinate buying a gift. Sound good?

SecretSanta · Nov 11, 2008, 10:08 PM

I can handle all of the details.

Creepiest user name ever.

O RLY? Looks like you're going on the naughty list.

calverson · Nov 12, 2008, 03:13 AM

Can I sit on your lap?

sounds perfect!

calverson · Nov 12, 2008, 02:43 PM

Please can I be paired up with shif?

shifuimam · Nov 12, 2008, 02:51 PM

That's one of the less amusing things you've said.

Leave me alone. Please.

Also, on topic:

Deadlines are a good idea. Where should we send links to our amazon wishlists and the like?

Laminar · Nov 12, 2008, 02:53 PM

Send the info to SecretSanta.

Dakar V · Nov 12, 2008, 02:59 PM

I wonder whose dupe account that is...

Laminar · Nov 12, 2008, 03:22 PM

calverson

calverson · Nov 12, 2008, 03:23 PM

Not me. I think that it is Peter. He seems to be quite pumped for this.

calverson · Nov 12, 2008, 03:26 PM

Plus, I was sleeping when Secret Santa first appeared, approx 4:08AM South African time.

What better way to try and cover yourself?

calverson · Nov 12, 2008, 03:36 PM

The only thing that was covering me was my duvet and a gorgeous redhead named Tinsel.

linger · Nov 13, 2008, 10:22 AM

How are we supposed to in the middle of a recession and jobs being layed off?

shifuimam · Nov 13, 2008, 12:07 PM

Oh, please. If you can't afford $20 (or less), you have some serious financial problems.

osiris · Nov 13, 2008, 12:10 PM

So just to confirm here - the deadline is November 15th?
What do we do, besides email SS#s and addresses?

Laminar · Nov 13, 2008, 12:21 PM

The 15th is the deadline to sign up for the secret santa, have all of your info to SecretSanta by the 20th, PM your name, address, and Amazon wish list (if you'd like).

linger · Nov 13, 2008, 02:22 PM

Sorry I was being sarcastic in a dry sort of way.

calverson · Nov 13, 2008, 02:28 PM

I thought that you were being dry in a sarcastic sort of way.

osiris · Nov 13, 2008, 02:31 PM

Any drier you'd be all wet.
Whatever the heck that means.

Their slogan is:
