A Small Car posted:It's me, I'm the bad Santee! Friday night I came home to a rather nondescript brown package on the porch. Further inspection showed it to be from a far off land indeed, Denmark! Inside was a work of fine art Cheers, mate! Extremely happy that it made it to you in one piece! The dick is my wife's creation. ("Hey, honey, draw a dick here! No time to explain!") I think the proportions are a bit off, but I'll let the readership draw its own conclusions... Happy holidays, and may your diet of hipster coffee and black liquorice not lead to any further gagging amongst your loved ones.

Same for yours - you should have gotten something from Amazon, but your box is still sitting in Jamaica NY rather than ON A drat PLANE AT JFK LIKE IT SUPPOSED TO BE. At this point I have no idea when you'll see it.

I don't think it's a timing issue at least not completely. I've been waiting on a package from South Korea for a while now. It should have arrived a couple weeks ago. Meanwhile I've received like 3 packages from China and sent a couple to Canada with minimal delays. The CA ones sat in Jamaica NY for a couple days but moved pretty quickly.

Not sure if my email with shipping notification popped up in your spam folder or not, but I did send my gift out and Elemnt80 already posted upon receiving it! I can resend the email and attachment if needed, I am not good with computer. Most of my gift apart from the lockpicks and badging was just cool stuff I had lying around and I'm glad to see it was appreciated! Perhaps including the other picks was funnier in my head, but they can't all be zingers...

 I don't remember ordering anything from Harbor Freight...    Some regional cuisine (going to save the chocolates for Xmas day), a mini cone trophy, a broken pressure sender and some stickers including an amazingly niche SA logo. Thanks so much Honda Whisperer! I'm going to pair the chili cheese dogs with the beer McTinkerson got me, I'll post an update when I do.

Anymore I'm just like "oh this is my life the apartment complex is on fire. Well looks like I'm going to have to sneak past the cops/fire-fighters and break into my apartment so I can get my meds/a toothbrush for the night." In these times I guess you just gotta roll with the changes.

My mail carrier was very very confused. Felix knew what to do, however.     When I said go nuts, I had no idea it would be taken literally.   A secret RADL message Holy poo poo, the SAE motherload of rotary papers. These are amazing.   These are an absolutely incredible amount of gifts. Thank you! I am both scared and excited for the opportunity to use those pliers and the T-handles...thank you. Also, this stress ball is the greatest thing ever. Schneider Electric makes my life difficult and stressful every day, so it is going to get some serious use.  You're the best Sgt Fox. Merry X-Mas!

I was about to continue my streak of non-productivity when I had a hunch I should check the porch for packages. All I can say is holy cow and thank you to my SS, A Small Car. This is a seriously awesome collection.   I will be able to pick so deep with these:  The completely awesome Saab socks, which will no doubt ignite the fire under my rear end to hunt down that old Saab:  This is beautiful.  Already in a prominent display spot above my desk.     I don't have any doubts the "Chevy Toolkit" will get good use the very next time I need to work on something. Thank you so much, I am completely blown away. Have a very excellent holidays!

Nadmonk, I'm so glad everything got there before Christmas! My sledge and screwdriver have served me well over the years (I've pounded the heads off of countless rivets in the junkyard with that combo), so I hope the various tools prove useful for you. Merry Christmas! STR, I found that magnet in the So El Paso store (I needed to buy the food component and didn't want to drive to Mesilla). They had quite a few, but that one was the coolest.

 A PACKAGE ARRIVED!  (I appreciated the non-lick-sealed envelope, that's a weird thought that's been going through my mind everytime I open a letter - "Did someone lick this?")  The envelope opens to reveal a lot of stickers (most of which have already found their way on to my workbench) and a letter: Big Taint posted:Happy Holidays Krakkles & Lil' Krakkles!  A wonderful celebration of the season! The tools are exactly what I hoped for (I've never heard of Mayhew and they sound like a great step up from whatever the ones I've used before are, Engineer pliers are coooool), the cookies are perfect in two ways: They're delicious, and they're too ginger spicy for everyone else, I so I get them to myself, the shirt is adorable and appears to be exactly the right size although someone didn't want to pose for a picture - will update if/when I convince her!). The stickers, as mentioned, are adorning garage surfaces already, the magnetic hooks live on my new toolbox, and that Botts' Dot is exactly the kind of junk I go for. The key chains are going to make cool garage decorative baubles, as well! The blue door-not-toucher thing now belongs to my child, because she basically just grabbed it and wouldn't give it back - needless to say, excellent choice, she loves it. But y'all. THAT PILLOW. First of all, the little one adores it - she wanted it on her bed, first, but later moved it to the couch. There was a solid hour of her "sneaking" it behind us and then saying "Daddy do you know who's behind you??" or the like. PLUS IT'S NIC FRIGGIN' CAGE. Bravo, Big Taint, you have touched me with your AISSmas spirit! xmas lights blatantly stolen from TheRoyalNonesuch Krakkles fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Dec 23, 2020 |

I finally got my package out on the last day, as is tradition, so I finally get to open mine from sharkytm: The wide view:  The car. It has limo tint but I'm just going to assume the seats are tartan:  And the durian candy and Official 2020 Octopus™ seem like they should go together:  I didn't get any good pics of this weeding tool on the right, but I'm surely going to put it to use soon, and the tomato and pepper seeds will be handy just a little later in the year. The TecTool I'm sure will be handy, the lock I will decode shortly, I'm planning on eating some of the candy but last time I tried durian candy I burped durian for hours. I'm not looking forward to that part. My gift I realized after shipping ha no note. It's slated to arrive on the 26th in one of the legal weed states, the cookies are just Tasty's perfect chocolate chip cookie with like some cinnamon added, nothing crazy in them and no nuts.

I re-boxed it several times trying to make sure the middle fingers and tentacles didn't get snapped off. There's a note in the "packing slip" pouch on the side... because I forgot to put it in before closing the box up. The GTI was acquired on my last trip to Germany.

The internet has delivered! Maksimus64 has provided me with a fine selection of snacks, home made soaps , and the centerpiece - a 12a rotor candle! I've repurposed many as clocks, but never considered a candle. My wife loves the elephant soap. The almonds are great and I'll have to try smoking some on my little Traeger. Funny thing, I also sent my SS markers, but a friend has raved about the Milwaukee's lasting forever. I shall test this.   Thank you! And thanks to mekilljoydammit for the assist. Question - is the rotor usable (I kid!), but really- is it coated so it won't rust? I am shamelessly re-gifting the 10MM socket to a non-car friend, who has lost his 3/8 10mm stubby socket and will be ever so appreciative! And to my SS, I 100% forgot to include a note. Once it arrives via tracking I will craft a PM. My humblest of apologies. I appreciated participating in a community like this because of things like AI:SS.
