I'm happy to try facilitate this, lets get as many goons involved as possible! I think the best way to handle it is the following: If you're willing to send out 2 or more gifts, but only receive 1, please email me at slothrop.ai@gmail.com with how many 'extras' you are happy to sponsor. If you'd prefer them to be local to you or have any other requests, let me know and I'll try to arrange that If money is tight for you, but you'd like to be involved, please make a post in thread, and sign up using the form. Please add in the phrase "Paying it Forward" to your post and in the comments on your form. Please don't be shy about signing up, I'll allocate the 'extras' on a first come, first served basis. I'd like to nominate our mod, Elmnt80 as the first recipient. Elmnt80, please sign up!

I wasn't planning on joining, because historically I've had a tough time coming up with ideas for this sort of thing, but I'll give it a shot again anyway. It's been a few years, and I finally am past the "starving student" phase. Raluek My vehicles: 1960 F100, 1965 Impala, 1969 Chevelle. And an unknown probably-Italian bicycle circa 1961. The tool I most commonly use/wish I had: Use: I have a nice collection of 3/8 sockets that I use all the time, and I would be lost without my air impact. Need: I guess I don't know what I am missing until I have a taste of it. I have a good collection of the usual stuff, but hit me with the stuff I don't know I need. Something small I would really like: I have a major sweet tooth, and I love old interesting knick-knacks. Hobbies: Work is electronics nerdery, so old cars are my primary hobby. I do have computer/electronics interests too. Shirt size: Large tall slim fit, ideally, but just a normal large is fine. Sometimes a medium fits, but I wouldn't risk it. Food Allergies: None. Not a fan of IPAs, if you're a beer-gifter. Junk/No Junk: I love junk. What would I do without junk? Most of what I own is junk. Where would I be without it? Dump it all on me. Comments: I love cool old stuff, and nerd poo poo, and I'm pretty easy to please. I'll adore whatever you send me. A local merchant option: I live in the bay area, so we probably have one of everything. I try not to patronize the richest man in the country, but I really won't mind if you do. Dicks/No Dicks: Decorate as you see fit.

Something small I would really like: Magnets and stickers are good, I put them on my garage toolboxes and shelves. I could also use some cool socks. Christ am I really asking for socks? Hobbies: I like to read, and have taken up running and bike riding to hopefully lose some weight. Shirt size: XL Food Allergies: none Junk/No Junk:I'm down for your junk Comments: I do have a shotglass collection, and like vintage Porsche things. A local merchant option: Amazon is fine Dicks/No Dicks: Inside packaging only, and they better be glorious dicks. None of this half-assed peepee crap.
