I got 3 days at the same time, I guess. So far they sent me 2 envelopes of cards, and one little baggy of coal. One of the envelopes had a slip talking about a puzzle contest involving the 12 gifts that get sent.

The videos on https://www.holidaybullshit.com/ for each day are pretty funny.

Oh man, I've only gotten one thing so far the second day. My post office is a bit weird about things, takes them forever sometimes.

That is a surprisingly good looking Timex. Link to where you got it?

Thank you.
Sure:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261234354093

I think the link should work.
Otherwise it's from ebay and the seller handle is twinboom781. He was very nice and prompt, shipped fast and the packaging was good. A+ will buy again.

Edit:
Note that the chronograph only goes up to 30 minutes and what looks like the hour indicator is 1/20th of a second measurement (which moves into position after stopping the chrono). Also, it has a dial illumination thingy which is neat and useful.

Also, a fun little watch that I dare not post in the YLLS megathread. It was 5 dollars (free shipping) which is just ridiculous. Should serve me well for working out and when summer rolls around.

I don't know what YLLS is but this is sweet, where's it from?

You Look Like poo poo is SA's subforum about fitness, health, style and fashion. There's a megathread about watches there.

Anyhow, the watch is available at Miniinthebox or alternatively Lightinthebox. I've bought a watch there before for under 10 dollars and it's been standing up to a lot of abuse for months now. These guys ship worldwide from China for free, it's kind of insane.

E: That Timex from last page looks really good as well and the black NATO suits it very well. What kind of band does it originally come with?

These watches contain a complete monitoring system that will send all your personal info and communications to the People's Republic of China with the hope that there is valuable intel in the lot.

That's how they can afford such a price.

Depending on what the purpose is, I'd just recommend getting a coin sorter/sleever to get your coins all organized and easily countable.

You Are A Werewolf: Apr 26, 2010; Black Gold!

For only $10.99 on Amazon. And it's the Japanese version which is manufactured and presented better than the usual box-sets.

I have Volume 2 because I love the Americanized Rubber Soul, but I never bought Volume 1 for some reason. Figured I'd snatch it now since a new U.S. albums box-set is slated to be released for the 50th anniversary of the Beatles coming to America and this box-set either becomes collectable or worthless. Either way, at $10.99 I can't complain.

I grabbed a box of these for x-mas. There's at least one autographed card inside, so we'll see who it is. I'll be picking up a box from last year's summer games next year.

Logitech Powershell iPhone controller.

All of the controls are analog, and it has a built in battery to charge the phone.

GTA San Andreas was the main reason I got it. But i'll also be using it for Bastion, Limbo, King of Fighters, Terraria, and Sky Gamblers.

Only caveat is the lack of a right thumbstick, but it's not a dealbreaker to me.

How does it work in San Andreas? That's my favorite GTA game ever and while it's cool that the whole game is on mobile devices now, I think I'd go mad trying to play it with touch controls. But if this thing works well to control it, I'd buy one of these and San Andreas and roll up on bustas on my phone.

I bought the fight stick version of this when it was one sale here for �25. I then ripped the sticker off the front and loaded it with a Sanwa joystick and buttons. It's now a cracking fightstick and for loads less than the official Sanwa ones were selling for.

In other news, I did get this for my mother for Christmas! American made bracelet from a cool company (Alex and Ani). I think she'll dig it.

HeySka: Jan 3, 2006; ...or is it?

The wife let me go a bit crazy buying some new clothes this weekend so here is what I picked up.

Pike Brothers Utility Shirt

This is the most comfortable henley I have ever worn. I wear it as soon as I take my uniform off in the evenings. I am going to have to buy it in white too. It works as an amazing warm layer under button-downs. This is my second piece of Pike Brothers clothing and I am really impressed with the quality and feel of the fabrics. Their stuff feels like it will last for years.

Natural Selection Chapman Wool Jacket

Tried this on at a local shop in Nuremberg and I had to buy it. The fit is great (even better when I lose a few pounds) and it layers really nice.

If any of you Bavarian folks find your way to Nuremberg you should check out the shop Bube und Konig there. They have an awesome selection of Pike Brothers and 3sixteen gear there along with Wolverine 1000 mile boots. The guys who work there will hook you up and are really nice.

I got more today speaking of which.

I got Clusterfuck, which another goon got, which sounds like a blast and some original artwork form cards from the games. I got two for the same, so in the White Elephant gift they go.
