Helno: I'm your Secret Santa this year, unfortunately I didn't anticipate shipping to Canada, so it'll be late, but I promise you'll like what you get. Hmmmmm, an interesting box.  A box within a box!  A note! Nice!  ANOTHER BOX!  A thing for controlling OTHER BOXES! Hurray! CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Dec 23, 2015 |

You got another box coming tomorrow (of course they were delivered out of order so the note makes no sense), and the cable will be there.......in January. Sorry for no broken stuff. I rant out of time with traveling and such and wanted to make sure the good stuff got to you.

Ephphatha posted:Thanks heaps Echotic! I realise that I didn't give you much to go on but you've knocked it out of the park, I especially needed some garage art/stickers since it looks so plain in there currently. My brother drives a BRZ so he has to deal with the seatbelt alarm going off when there's any weight in the passenger seat, that clip will be perfect for him. You are absolutely welcome. If that mine light proves useful, it has a bigger badder cousin which looks awesome. Tempted to get one myself. Glad the bike wasnt a total miss.

I just got woken up from a lovely nap by a thud at my front door. WHAT IS THIS:  AN ORIGINAL SEAT SAFETY SWITCH STORY THAT WILL SOON BE FRAMED AND HUNG IN THE GARAGE  The note that followed it:  The haul:   The Python book will absolutely get its use! Also, that cookbook is especially fun, with titles such as "BIBLICAL TORTURE PORN", "NEVER TRUST A MAN IN A SPORT SANDAL", and my favorite:  Badger took a liking to a particular gift:   THANK YOU SEAT SAFETY SWITCH

Shipping things up to the land of the north can be a bit slow. My Santee has had his gift for nearly a week. Hopefully it didn't get delivered and now his neighbors are trying to figure out who the hell $SAUSERNAME is.

:O! THINGS ARRIVED AT MY ON-SHIPPER The photos they take of stuff are fairly mediocre but they actually did OK this time (will take better photos once the stuff makes it the rest of the way);  Is this the badge off a Nova? yeeeeee  FREEDOM™ BBQ sauce (aw YISS)  This is an electrified tennis racket for murdering insects in flight. AWESOME.  And what I believe is basically magnets that wrap around your wrist for holdin' bolts and things while wrenchin', which sounds ridiculously useful There might be other things that they didn't take a photo of (it looked like there was an amazon box too but unsure) so oooh maybe more surprises once they ship the stuff here! Eeeeee thankyou santa whoever you are ^_^

literally a fish posted::O! THINGS ARRIVED AT MY ON-SHIPPER Merry Christmas! That is my absolute favorite BBQ sauce. I used to live where its made. I figured you were Australia so you may need an electrified bug destroyer. The Magno grip is really usefull. I was suprised at how much. The Nova emblem is from my 77 Nova front grille. The amazon box is what the bug zapper and magnogrip came in. Glad ya like it!(or hopefully will like it when you actually have it on hand)

I would say my Santa this year is pretty scrub tier. The package arrived with less than 8 hours before Christmas day, and me getting my grubby mitts on it less than 2, and this post going up with less than 1 hour before the big day. Santa didn't include a note, so I had to use my deductive reasoning (whilst suffering a migraine) to determine if this gift came from the AISS pool, or the dorks over in the TGSS. Santa doesn't know there's a button to check on Amazon that sends a gift receipt so I don't find out how much (s)he spent to send this package of cheer. (I feel you Santa, shipping to Formosa is a bitch, my grandparents just sent me a bottle of Excedrin and a few festive linens and it cost them $50 in a loving flat rate box -- that box showed up with your package). I would say my Santa this year is scrub tier, except no scrub would send something so loving awesome:  I've watched Love the Beast before (on Hulu or Netflix), absolutely loved it, so it's pretty sweet to have a physical copy now. I'm still new to motorcycles, so this Isle of Man TT review will hopefully catch me up to speed (also hoping to hear more of Guy Martin's impenetrable accent). Going to try to keep up with all the racing this year, but we'll see how that goes, ha ha! So, Santa, whoever you are, thanks a bunch. Now to convince my coworkers, who are in no way automotive or motorcycle enthusiasts (except for the one middle-aged racist squid), to watch Love the Beast, because everyone needs to see that loving movie.

The gift have arrived this Monday but only now had the time to open it. Someone might end up in trouble:  This looks sweet, stickers, weird moon language books from might-as-well-be-canadia and a handwritten note:  Appropriately for our digital age and prohibitive costs of shipping fun cast iron things to Canada, I've also received digital goods of plat and avatar. Thank you Santa Scuz, I shall put all these things to good use.

I understand the pain of shipping, it's kept me from reuniting myself with a bunch of stuff that's sitting in storage at my parents' house. In the meantime, thanks again, I'm sure everything will get here soon enough! (unless customs decides to take their sweet time like they do )

Dear Santee, I got a message from my room mate, the other half of your gift arrived this afternoon after I left town. I'll be home Tuesday and will ship your gift. I am so sorry. Never ordering from Not-Amazon ever again. "Oriders ship within 7 business days" turned into "Order will be shipped after you email us after 15 business days, and we won't even respond to that email, we'll just ship the order. But we won't actually ship it, we will just send the info to USPS so they give you a tracking number, and then 3 days later we will actually give it to USPS"

ZincBoy posted:A package from Bulk Vanderhuge was sitting on my door step when I got home this evening! It was fairly heavy and rattled nicely. Yaaay, I'm glad you can use the relays! I have several hundred of those relays, no joke, so if you or anyone else wants some I'll gladly mail them out. The cam is out of my 1st gen Honda Insight that is currently in pieces in the garage, the number three journal likes to destroy itself and the head for no discernible reason. Sorry for the late response but I received my present from the wet coast a couple of days ago so lets take a look:  Catte in the way. The zipties had me a little worried but then I remembered that I have an entire drawer of cutting tools.  More Cattes  -A bottle of some tasty looking THE DOMINATOR strong ale-A goddamn Brembo caliper that probably has more stopping power than my Mini -Sweet thin stainless Kawasaki sunglasses that will work perfectly in my helmet -Rivets, hacksaw blades, drill bits, countersink bit and airline quick disconnect I didn't see your username anywhere but thanks for the awesome presents! Now I'm tempted to see if I can adapt bike calipers onto the Mini...

AH! A package from forums poster Extreme Accordion!  Whatever could this be?   Where in the good loving christ did you find this!? (Full disclosure, I got this last weekend and I took the bnib, sealed copy of OS2 to work on Monday. Some IBM QC guys came into the office to inspect an ongoing project and we had quite the conversation over it, so thanks, EA! ) Good beer. Bless you sir. ATL craft beer is all about the exotic poo poo these days, a good lager is just what I needed.  The headless e30 approves.  Bonus Superducky sighting, I'm currently writing this from my porch, and Balus Creek might as well be a class 3 rapid with all the rain we've gotten the past few days. Thanks, Extreme Accordion!

SuperDucky posted:AH! A package from forums poster Extreme Accordion! Awesome! Our Notes administration retired last winter and left that. Many geeks in the office would just boggle a bit when they saw it. I figured it would be unloved in aiss but I am pleased you like it. New Glarus two women is a local craft brew from the female brewmasters New Glarus and one other local company. I found it to be an excellent lager and just an enjoyable beer. sorry about no tools or letter but this is my first time doing aISS. Did you understand the references on the box to A Christmas Story? I see you have a BMW so you need fine German tools like triple square bits another crazy stuff. Let me know if there's anything in particular I can get you later on this year? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hey Mat_Drinks, I'd better come clean. I'm your Santa, and I have no idea why the package hasn't made it to you yet. It was sent over two weeks ago. How about we give it until after the holidays and see what happens? If it has been lost in shipping I'll get you something else, shipped domestically. I rolled the dice and just sent the stuff as a letter (package with tracking would've been $50 instead of $12) and now it's biting my rear end. Merry Christmas, at any rate! Edit: Package is a plain brown cardboard box, a little smaller than your average shoebox.

Raluek your gift arrived and is  I will post pics later to show the awesome.Edit: Here is the proof. I arrived home from working with my dad for the day to a wet package on my doorstep. My wife had just taken the dog out and not seen it and heard no nock. Thanks USPS.  I opened it in an appropriate way.  Awesome stuff inside. I had just told my wife how I would love to have one of those mugs. Mostly due to getting a speaker socket and some snap on glasses due to the snap on guy liking my money.  The cider was delicious and filled the mug nicely. Thanks for the gifts. I have filled the zippo and now wish I still smoked cigarettes. But instead it will live in my toolbox at work for all the times I need fire during the day. clam ache fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Dec 27, 2015 |

56k go-away! Hooray, finally! Santa's huge brown package is here!!! (He's from the UK). I got an excellent Santa this year.  Once sliced open, its secrets spilled forth. More photos of the big poster (double sided!):   I love Defenders but they're completely unrealistic to own in the US unless you're rich and dedicated. Up until now I've been ogling my neighbor's RHD Defender, but now I can stare at this flying one (about to kill four people) all day! Then I opened this suspiciously unwrapped, light (darkness) box...   Santa's a trickster, but I suppose I should be relieved that it's empty. I was nervous about its contents infecting my cars anyway. That rectangle in the upper left of my coffee table happens to be a Genuine Land Rover® Owner International face cozy   Onto the wrapped gifts. First, I cannot go on without congratulating Santa's gift-wrapping skills. The pattern even lines up, how on earth do you plan that? If you can't tell, the seam is in the middle-left of this photo:  Oh crap more Lucas stuff (insert joke about blacking out). I doubt I mentioned that I really like Glenfiddich on these forums so you're either a really good stalker or just lucky. Who is the purple-faced naked guy on the glass? I feel that I should know this.  Wow! More Genuine Lucas parts. Look at that excellent color photographic reproduction too...  Hell yeah it was full of candy let's get fat! And lego race cars! And British-model Hotwheels! The book-like gift is a coloring book of Haynes manual cover cutaways. Shading-in is the reverse of erasing, or something.  Santa must have archives because he knows about my BMW 2002 that I haven't posted about (or really worked on... having a job sucks/owns) in years.   (Keychain where it belongs. Ignore the missing under-dash covers)  Finally, Santa gave me a magnetic tool light. It's multipurpose and I used it to eat dinner with precision.  Thank you mysterious English Santa, whoever you are! These gifts rock

SouthsideSaint posted:Raluek your gift arrived and is Ownage, glad you liked it. The lighter didn't turn out at all the way I wanted it, though. I was attempting to etch the finish to expose the copper under-layer, but apparently the electrolysis procedure I had found doesn't work with the "black ice" finish (the guy who did it successfully had a plain chrome finish). So the design just turned out scratched in and lovely.  Glad you liked the cider, it's local here and is my favorite apple cider. I first learned about those mugs a year or two ago when someone got one for AI:SS, so I knew I had to get one for you (and also one for myself, haha).

Also, the picture on the plug leads box most definitely isn't the engine they were for, wasn't sure if an American would recognise it, though.

 Thanks Superducky! Let's see what we've got here........  Stickers to put in confusing and inappropriate places, check. Broken stuff, check (well, maybe it's not broken, but someone doesn't have traction control anymore). I'll probably end up using the grounding strap Awesome haul, thanks! And I'm not sure if Season 1 of Emergency came from you or another (not so) mysterious poster who thought it would be funny to do a monthly Amazon subscribe-and-save on these:  Yes, I'm pretty sure I'll be using it soon. Thanks goons!
