As promised. Long post ahead.


NJ, gross. I've got family there, but they only send me political and religious stuff.

Yup, Cats and boxes...

Hey look, a box of goodies

Unpacked. Look at the assortment of items!

These will come in handy. I wonder if the local PD takes them?

Hot Wheels and a mystery glowing cube. Bottle Opener, too.

"Reserve Lighting Unit" Made in Japan. All the best stuff is made in Japan.

Glass Frog says "RIBBIT"

Wrapped goodies.

Double-X Pliers, many thanks!

2nd Bottle opener

Coffee! Jersey Diner Swill Coffee! This will bring back a lot of memories. At least you NJ folks don't put to go coffee in a drat paper bag like the weirdos in NYC. I've never understood that.

WTF. I don't want no rice.

Mystery Leather box thing with some knobs and poo poo. No.2A Folding Cartridge Premo?
Google that, and you get: http://www.historiccamera.com/cgi-bin/librarium2/pm.cgi?action=app_display&app=datasheet&app_id=939

Film No. 116, eh? Probably can't get that on the shelf at the local (lol) camera shop. http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/116_film

Kodak Ball Bearing Shutter!

Holy poo poo. An old camera! The shutter even still works with reasonable shutter speed control.

Viewfinder... view? Glowing Cube visible

Contents of emergency bacon kit. Sadly, No bacon or bacon-flavored accessories. However, Onesies for Baby Shark!
Butterball may get worn at Thanksgiving, if we have a repeat of last night's family gathering... drat kid had 2 blowouts and got poop on 3 outfits.
Rage Against the Nap Time is very very appropriate, because we're trying to sleep train the little one.

Ummm. OK. I guess these count as dicks.

Linked the full-size because it's worth the read.

Note! Thanks PoC.

Painter of Crap, thanks a ton. I'll get a shot of li'l Shark in the onesies and send it over. Have a Merry Holiday!

I saw that and said to myself "woah! someone else decided to send a Honda Gold Wing reserve lighting unit (1976-1978) as an AI:SS!" Wait, I had PainterOfCrap last year, and that's where MINE went!

The AI:SS tradition of sending the best and weirdest parts around continues! I need to dig up something VERY esoteric this year to see if it makes the rounds :D

I got really confused at what I assumed was a shirt I must have drunk ordered from China



In fact it was a giant flag! (Civic for scale)

It makes me laugh, was this a custom design or was it just floating in the ether? It's ace either way.

Great news!

That's part of your gift. It was 'just out there' but took quite a while to find something fittingly goony. Actually surprised it arrived considering Aliexpress got your town name completely wrong when I put in the Postcode.

Luckily the postcode was correct

Both junk packages have been shipped!
For some strange reason, FedEx was the cheapest option. Scheduled arrival date is December 3 for both.

Quality is pretty nice, it's plasticy but would look good on a wall.
Mine lives on the back of a door though whenever I next get to go to a festival I'll be using it as a camp flag

Mine is supposed to be there tomorrow but doesn’t have “crossed either border” yet on tracking so I’m skeptical. Just posting because I also hope my santee likes their stuff.

fwiw, I had some difficult with shipping and ended up using parcel monkey which seems to be a service that just lets you piggyback on someone else’s corporate rates. We’ll see how it goes but I have a real UPS tracking number so as long as nothing goes wrong (!!!) it should be ok and it was like 1/3 the price.

I got one of my santee's gifts in and waiting for the next to arrive before stuffing it with junk and shipping it. Will probably go out next week.

Looks like the stuff I wanted to be shipped directly got delayed until after Dec 17. Not sure it will get there before Christmas, sorry Santee :(

I got something on order so at least my Santee will have something, and will have to get the junk in a box and out the door. Not sure if it will make it in time for Christmas, maybe it can be a new years gift.

Just a late reminder that it's Giving Tuesday, so some donations are being doubled. I hit up several from this list. I'll be donating 1% of the company's total income this year.

And also get rid of anyone who has posted retarded shit on the internet."


Gifting fun should be going into the mail early next week.

A package has arrived. And it definitely has an AI feel to it.



AI confirmed. Hope that didn't cost to much to send. I'll figure out something to do with it. What's the backstory on how it got bent.


Thanks for the stickers. I actually cracked the fairing on my Trail 90 so I am going to need a bunch to put on the replacement. Finding a Cherokee sticker is very difficult.


I appreciate the local coffee. I get out to Calgary every once in a while to see the in laws.


Found the dicks. Going to visit my mother this weekend so perhaps she will get a small surprise.


The Elmo cover will get used, it will just cerement my weirdo status among the motorcycle crowd at work.

Thanks McTinkerson.

You are a saint. That charity is one that's helped me out in the past when I was at my wits end. I was thinking all this week that I was on the chopping block and needing to use their services again but GOOD NEWS! I'm just an overly paranoid person with anxiety and all the things that had me think I was getting laid off was managers being quiet about sacking someone else at the company.

Nope. I'm a deeply flawed human, just like everyone else. I'm glad they helped you out in the past, and even more happy that you are still gainfully employed. Merry Christmas!

YO SOY FIESTA

My SS arrived a couple weeks ago but I haven't had time to get a post together until now.

The package is magnificent!


All emptied out for display.


My lovely serving of Dietz Nuts!


Some lovely fingercocks, a few Get Out of Hell Free cards (those will be used quickly), and a sign language lesson (in sticker form!) that I can use at my coworkers.


More stickers! And a poop balloon I can fill up and fly at work!


I used to think releasing chemtrails was a fancy complicated process, but apparently it's just a switch to flick.


A super rad Godzilla tshirt!


An awesome screwdriver set, with 2 of them already prepped to be used with hammers!


Thanks to PainterofCrap for helping make my first solo Christmas into a magical one. This was awesome.

I have received a package! Will see about opening it and getting some pictures over the weekend!

On the opposite side, one package should have been delivered already, and another is on its way, but I've not had an update since the distribution centre on my end said they had it at the start of the week.
