Captain Muffin posted:YASSSSS - My Apache attack gunship finally arrived from down under. You have no idea how hard these things are to get hold of here. Yessss. I can't believe how long it's taken for my stuff to reach you- my santa's stuff is still en route. Posting to/from Spider Island sucks. It's great that everything was so well received, especially by the youngest person in the household. Even if some of it was spelled wrong??? Anyway I had several copies of the bird book and different coffee dragon mugs made up for christmas, so I can guarantee yours are the only ones in the entire northern hemisphere! Thanks for a great first SASS. I'm looking forwards to SASS22 already!

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:Hey, do you still have that lumberjack safety hat I made you ages ago? I thought of it the other day when I found the rest of that reflective thread. Unfortunately no. It met an untimely but glorious end during a coffee break, when I set my stuff on-top of the machines tires. Guess who forgot the hat on the tire, and promptly drove over it with a full load of lumber

peanut posted:This is me. You messaged me on the portal that it arrived... but then you posted this so it didn't arrive... I hope it gets to you soon!! Peanut, the gift has arrived after being unlocked from its Canada post related prison! 1. Cat skull: cool as heck 2. Decorations: A+ (My partner and I still reference this dumb golden man post: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3750059&pagenumber=2&perpage=40#post452511590 so the dragula one is extremely funny) also hail Santa! 3. Many assorted snacks! Very powerful, I’ve actually had crunky before, and my partner is very excited to assemble the toilet candy as well! Also if your note of “delicious to humans AND cats” was a long con to get me to eat cat food, then the joke is on you because me and the cats fuckin love it! 4. That card is absolutely excellent! 5. The New Years wreath will be saved for my new house (we’re changing from renting to buying so that wreath will bless the new place!) Thanks again, and merry SASSmas everyone!

A belated thank you to Emily Spinach for all my gifts! This awesome bit of handmade wood art:  This adorable mug that I haven't stopped using since I unwrapped it. Along with this mystery stuff called Malort. Which I have never heard of or tasted before. But now I have. I imagine it's what a beetle sandwich tastes like:  So, so much delicious honey. One of my favorite things to eat is honey toast. So excited to try all these:  Here's a family portrait of my gifts, along with the most adorable mushroom wrapping paper. No Malort in the picture, though. Because I asked it to leave and never come back to my home.  Thank you so very much, Emily Spinach!

I got my SASS gifts, all the way from The Netherlands! So much great stuff.  Because I've got the caffeine intolerance and I don't inherently read the Dutch very well, I had to enlist the help of Google to translate the ingredients of the snacks. Looking good  Uhhh  UHHHH  UHHHHHHHH!  Whatevs, turnip vegetable oil, donkey soe butter, drinking buddies, and cum butter wafers are pretty damned tasty. Sadly I can't eat the Hopjes, but they're gonna find a great home that will love them very much. Thank you, Sioux, it's all amazing!

IT'S FINALLY HERE! It took a long while but it finally arrived! And in one whole piece as well! I'm currently at work so I will post photos tonight when I can, but it's here! These bees have traveled the entire globe to be here and I can't wait to see what's inside. EDIT: IT'S BEES!  Also, a whole lot of lovely gifts from the United Kingdom! No Tea, though. I live near a bay.  Things not shown: - A plush bee keychain that was claimed for my wife's computer desk collection. - a knit shrimp that was also claimed for the same. - A book on local ghost stories and a lovely postcard of a local witch. Kept out of the shot for location/privacy. - Barely in the shot are some lovely socks as well, and another plush bee under the Lifeboat cloth. It's all so amazing! Thank you so much Hemlock for all the lovely gifts! J.A.B.C. fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Jan 24, 2022 |

 Ah, the rear end-kicking I ordered got here. Wait, I didn't order an rear end-kicking...  A box full of neat Wisconsin-themed stuff! Unfortunately I could not find a note or anything identifying my secret Santa, but I'm really happy with the package!

Whoop whoop! Turns out I like it just fine. The "Super" mentholated one is my favorite, and my wife loves all of them because they remind her of her black sambuca says E: This is only tangentially related to SASSmas but it's a gift I bought myself inspired by the thread

It took month and a half, but my gift from santa finally arrived! Yep, it's definitely from my SASS Santa.  Open that bad boy up and it's a partysaurus + a note!   And whaddayaknow, it's filled with stuff!   First up, a baseball cap for a team I don't know, and cheesy goldfish crackers.   Then some useful stuff: tire pressure gauge with actually usable pressures, and a rain poncho.   Motherfucking PEEEEEEPS and NEEEEEEERDS!   And more candy! Girthy candy cane, and chocolate nougat.. things. (don't know the English word for these type of candies  )  Spicy candy, and an appropriate spray to use, when I'm blasting my soul out from my rear    Authentic Hallmark Xmas ornament kitsch, and KITTY ICE MOLDS    Time for the weird stuff: Bag of trash bags, and a puzzle of a random teen TV character, oh my!    And to finish things off: Baby food, and a local gossip magazine, oh my!    - - - - - Well, I said I wanted local everyday things that I can't find in Finland, and my santa delivered! Thank you my mysterious Santa, you made my day, and probably my month with these!

In any event, I'm glad you enjoyed it and in the spirit in which it was intended which was, for the record, me doing my research and then getting absolutely shithoused at an adjacent bar before going to the store to shop for gifts.

still following this thread, even though I didn't participate. Does anyone know of the weirdest / creepiest stuff someone got? Has there been a jar of fingernails, or something? Because I have ideas sometimes, but I try to not listen to them  I"m going to start collecting random poo poo, though I think, so I can sass-up this year. also TheDK posted:Follow up to this, we finally have some winter weather so the socks are coming in handy: The dog seemed to take to them with no issues, have they used the socks or something like that in the past? I had one dog a long time ago that would just drop on his side and not move with the booties.

Didn't a goon get a new iPhone one year? My oddest (but one of the coolest) was a homemade bee pinata. My Santa lived a few hours from me. And dropped the box right at my door. Which was a little worrisome, but the candy was awesome. I was sad breaking the pinata to get it though.

I got a hand-painted toilet seat one year. The lid had a painting of Hulk Hogan and "Whatcha gonna do..." The inside of the lid said "when Hulkamania" And on the seat "Runs wild on you?!" There were also two pieces of alligator jerky and wooden bee ornaments. It was a *terrible* painting of the Hulkster, and couldn't actually be used as a toilet seat unless I wanted all the paint coming off, but oh I laughed and laughed, and thought it was hilarious. I was loving crushed when I was looking for it later and my dad told me he threw it out.

I instantly think of the meal worm console. Someone got a... GameCube? Dream cast? That was deliberately packed with meal worms. That was weird. Unless that was a bit. Sometimes hard to tell. My first year I got a single scratched up ps2 disk not in a sleeve or case. It was just in a shipping envelope and it didn't work. No sender information.
