making that book was a pain in the rear end but I thought it would be something dumb and fun. Trying to glue like 1000 pages together is not fun

a friend of ours owns a hop farm with a couple other people and that's literally all he does, grow hops and make beer. obviously they will be similar to other simcoe but they were locally grown small batches so they'll be a bit unique. I've tried some of their stuff in the past is its v good

This is my second year in a row of having my santee be a free rider never-poster.


Maybe next year I'll organize things and we'll have 2 tiers of santa. One for vetted confirmed good santas and a higher suggested price, the rest being the minor leagues for future santas.

I'll write up a big post about it later but king diamond was kinda the only one and he was an account from 2005 that posted in the pics thread. there wouldn't have been enough for pro-tier and scrub tier. also pretty much all the gifts this year were above average effort sooooo welp.

if you don't feel like waiting you can piece it together yourself. there were two rings this year.

oh man I forgot to take pictures and to write a letter before I sent it, I rushed everything that day

but it's great that everything came in fine, sorry about the banana smell, I was worried those candies would melt or something so I wrapped it a lot. it seems like it did nothing for the smell lol

yeah these candies are great, I discovered them recently and the passionfruit are the ones that I usually buy. I didn't even remember I sent you banana ones lol. the other one had like a super exotic fruit from the amazon in it that I forgot the name but it was good and also liquor



it's supposed to be a box of local stuff, the phone thing was a brief but weird trend in Brazil inspired by a popular soap opera (or so I heard). you could see people riding the bus answering calls with these gadgets

kinder eggs' toys are super lovely nowadays, sorry if you expected better. I bought one for me and I was severely disappointed. https://mobile.twitter.com/symbolicbutt/status/810571026828509184

trivia: the kinder eggs are made in argentina, meanwhile the kinder chocolate bars are made in brazil. that explains the lack of that blue eyed white boy I guess



the Mercado Municipal is my favorite place in Curitiba, I got a bunch of stuff from there to send you



this gif made my day, my mom bought this guy and she was like "this is most yospos thing" and I was like "hell yeah, I'm so sending one of these"

here's a map of the two rings for yosmas 2016
http://jsfiddle.net/crazylittle/g00zs5oo/embedded/result/
fiddle of the loops shamelessly forked from nevergirls

we had 42-43 people participate this year. very few were lurkers. there's one ring for people who were willing to ship international, and one ring for usa-only santas. pairs were matched up by hashing each santa's yosmas signup timestamp, username, and real name. special requests got a seeded placement, and then the hashes were sorted past that point.

everyone who participated save for a select few were pretty on-top of their gifts this year fwiw and there's only one santa (King Diamond) that didn't post his gift, nor did he provide proof of shipment. so i doubt his santee Jimmy Carter should be expecting anything late from that guy.

backup santa this year was Just-In-Timberlake who gave bump_fn a chance at late yosmas, who in turn gave me a chance to get in without actually picking my own santa. I already have one gift en route to Jimmy to replace the deadbeat. there's also a group effort for additional bits but I'll leave that as a surprise until those things arrive.

last but not least, optimus_rhyme should be expecting one more bit that his santa gave me a peek at, and it looks pretty cool but shipping would be... impractical. don't give up hope!

your santa sent proof of drop shipment, but then had to ask the shipper to hold until you were back. they also wanted to ship a second box but with you out of town with no forwarding address it's not like they could send it without the package getting returned.

I reached out to them to ask for an update.

Thanks for the update. I realize I was a bit awkward signing up and then forgetting that I wouldn't be here on the key dates so doubly appreciate the effort my santee has gone to.
