Calverson ruined Christmas.

Dakar V · Nov 25, 2008, 12:21 PM

I bet everyone is crossing their fingers not to get him or be gotten by him.

calverson · Nov 25, 2008, 03:42 PM

Okay so my wishlist has been sent. So, I think that things can roll forward... Santa?

You weren't the one I'm waiting on.

calverson · Nov 25, 2008, 03:47 PM

That makes me feel very very rejected.

Cold Warrior · Nov 25, 2008, 11:07 PM

Guys the personal snipes need to stop. This is the same kind of stuff I deleted in the 'Pictures of Yourself' thread. In the very near future I'll stop deleting and start dishing out some pain.

SecretSanta · Nov 26, 2008, 12:13 AM

A Christmas Miracle has been performed and Secret Santa assignments have been made. You have one month to purchase a gift and sent (or have it sent) to the recipient. If you have not received info by PM, let me know.

shifuimam · Nov 26, 2008, 01:00 AM

Everyone, don't forget the $20 gift maximum.

Y'all should probably ensure that your wish list has more than one or two items <=$20, so that your buddy has some options.

brassplayersrock² · Nov 26, 2008, 01:01 AM

so no $1000 speaker cable allowed as a gift?

KeriVit · Nov 26, 2008, 01:15 AM

I woulda played, had I checked out this thread earlier...

calverson · Nov 30, 2008, 10:08 AM

So has anyone received anything yet? We got until xmas to deliver the goods, but I think that I am going to go ahead and do this early - while I still have money that has not been used on other things.

osiris · Dec 1, 2008, 10:53 AM

Someone special should be receiving something special by the 6th, or something.

brassplayersrock² · Dec 2, 2008, 07:23 AM

Gunna send out my gift later today. I really hope that I get the wall-e dvd that is on my list

dcmacdaddy · Dec 2, 2008, 11:05 AM

Done.

Laminar, your presents are on their way. Let me know when they arrive. Merry Christmas!!!

No. I didn't really have Laminar--I am not saying who I had--but if we all tell him we did have him we could really f*ck with his head.

SecretSanta · Dec 2, 2008, 12:04 PM

Just a quick note - if the items on your wish list are from a third party (not Amazon directly), you need to edit the wish list information and check the "Yes, let Amazon.com share my wish list shipping address with third-party merchants to ship purchases from this wish list" box.

shifuimam · Dec 2, 2008, 12:25 PM

I should have added some third party stuff to my wish list. Oh well...maybe next year!

Laminar · Dec 2, 2008, 12:36 PM

Done.

Laminar, your presents are on the way.

just sent mine out, my person should be getting in the next 5-10 days, if everything works out. I really hope that I get the wall-e DVD

Laminar · Dec 3, 2008, 01:12 AM

Well somebody's specialty certainly is dropping subtle hints.

calverson · Dec 3, 2008, 03:01 AM

Brass, was there even anything else on your list?

brassplayersrock² · Dec 3, 2008, 03:03 AM

yes sir

calverson · Dec 3, 2008, 03:11 AM

Your next post should read:

TO MY SECRET SANTA ALL I WANT IS TEH WALLE BLUERAY DVD LOL.

Now that would work.

brassplayersrock² · Dec 3, 2008, 03:14 AM

for petes sake. it's wall-e not walle

calverson · Dec 3, 2008, 03:20 AM

yes, I know. I was merely teasing you...

(and it is Pete, not pete, for wall-es sake.)

osiris · Dec 4, 2008, 05:32 PM

My Secret Santa was too generous - i am very grateful and thankful!

Merry Christmas!

Oh! What'd ya get? Post pics!

Dakar V · Dec 4, 2008, 07:53 PM

It'd be amusing is someone ****ed with their secret santa and asked for anal beads, double-headed dildos, a vat of vasoline...

brassplayersrock² · Dec 4, 2008, 08:59 PM

so you're my secret santa!

Laminar · Dec 4, 2008, 09:09 PM

And just think - you completely passed a perfect opportunity for comedy.

shifuimam · Dec 5, 2008, 12:16 AM

My SS arrived yesterday - My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins, each the two-disc special edition. The featurette on restoring My Fair Lady from nearly-destroyed film negatives was pretty fascinating.

Thanks secret santa!

My recipient's gift should be arriving at my office in the next few days, and I'll mail it out next week.

Secret Santa, cleverly disguised as a UPS delivery guy (with a UPS truck, even)
dropped off a special edition of The Blues Brothers DVD and a CD compilation of James Bond soundtracks 'The Best of Bond'.

It was quite generous of you Secret Santa, thank you! I'm thrilled.

Sorry, no pics.

brassplayersrock² · Dec 5, 2008, 06:26 PM

calverson · Dec 5, 2008, 06:32 PM

Yeah, that was actually pretty funny.

Clear out your PMs, jackass

I would love to see that thread.

Oops, you'd think there would be some sort of pop up or warning letting me know that my PM box was full. But, as you know, I get multiple PMs every day from timid posters begging me to protect them from the MacNN bullies, so the box fills up quickly.

Dakar V · Dec 5, 2008, 06:58 PM

Don't worry, you'll get to bitch at me eventually, a I don't recall what the limit is, though I doubt I'll notice.

Laminar · Dec 5, 2008, 07:04 PM

Eighty. Plausible deniability removed.

Dakar V · Dec 5, 2008, 07:21 PM

Since when has anything I said been plausible?

dcmacdaddy · Dec 8, 2008, 09:01 PM

Got my Secret Santa present today. I think it is a book (I gave it a shake) but whoever sent it paid extra for the gift-wrapping. Thank you; that was a nice extra touch.* I am leaving it wrapped and will put it under the tree. My family all decided not to do presents this year because of the poor economy--excepting the grandchildren--so this will be probably one of the few presents I get this year.

*Whoever got my presents didn't get them gift-wrapped so I could afford to buy the person two items on their list without going over (by too much) the $20 price limit. Sorry about that, I hope you like the presents even if they aren't gift-wrapped.

shifuimam · Dec 8, 2008, 09:58 PM

I'm still waiting for the gift for my recipient to show up - Amazon is taking their sweet time on this one.

It's coming, I swear!
