Nothing here, but I'm sure it's more on the fantastical APO system than being grinched.

I swear it’s on the way! It left Chicago last week and is probably still sailing / flying or sitting in customs.

I was pretty sick the end of December and then the post office was vandalized and they had no customs forms so it’s been a wild ride and it didn’t go out until late :(

Woooooo! Got the "Best of Ohio" Box!



My wife who lived in Ohio (who also hates it, as well as most of the expats I've met here do) had to explain the buckeyes to me, but I definitely am vibing on the Hitler and Rockets coffee mugs! Also the Air Force Museum shot glass got APOed despite awesome packaging, but it'll still look good on display!

Thanks Sarah Satan! Gonna go eat some moon cheese now.

Thank you so much! What an awesome thing to come home to.

:cheers:

Soooo... in addition to the boxes that I mailed out myself, I had one other small thing that I ordered online and had shipped directly to you.

To save time, I thought to myself foolishly.

Welp.

How it started:

ETA 22 December



How it's going:

Updated ETA 06 January


Uh


UHHHHH


So the new ETA is now 13 January to 13 February. Maybe.

You already got the good stuff, and I stubbornly refuse to cancel this order, which was sold as being in stock, and was very clearly not actually in stock at all. Satan will visit you sooner or later.

Holy gently caress. Tiny sent you a Flipper Zero? Those things are all the rage with the pen testing/red teaming crowd. All of that other stuff is also super fun but remember don’t pick locks that you rely on and/or that you don’t have permission to pick/bypass.

Tiny, as another lockpicking/CMOE nerd, I salute you. Well done.

As a civilian "red team" / CMOE nerd, I thank the hell out of you for saying so :) I got in real early on the flipper kickstarter and got a 5-pack of them for kickstarter backer prices, I've been looking for a reason to get rid of the last of the 2 spares and Secret Satan seemed appropriate.

Bodi the lab made sure that he sniffed and rubbed against all the boxes because he was raised by cats and that's just how he rolls.

Yeah, you know you've got a cool device when they get backlogged in customs and people start setting up scam sites to order them. If you still have the other one, PM me if you'd be interested in selling it.

To my Santee- your package goes out on Friday or may my teeth fall out and hair grow in their place.

Pleased to report that I get to keep my teeth- TF, you should get your package within the next week (hopefully.) I'll send you the tracking number if I can find my drat receipt.

A box arrived! I had Benji do the initial inspection.


I believe this is what's known as "knowing your audience."


Hrm.




Benji immediately made a beeline for the goods. He seems pleased.


This coffee smells loving amazing, and since I don't have a french press it looks like I'm making another trip to Costco!


What looks like a hand painted rendering of my very favourite dog, though at a guess the artist didn't realise just how white my big fluffy buddy is.

Luca now lives in my office and improves my day.


A bitchin book, signed and addressed TO ME!!! As well as what looks like some kickass sauce for wings, and a very on-brand jigsaw puzzle.


Seriously, just look at this loving thing.


Pantslesswithwolves, thank you. I've been having a bit of a blue spell the last few days and I'm deeply touched.

Oh, I'm just so glad that it got there! I lost my receipt with the tracking number on it so I just had my fingers crossed that it would make there. It would have gotten there earlier had COVID not happened and Antonia Prebble not gotten squeamish about saying "hail SS-18 Satan, may his passing cleanse the earth!" on camera. So glad you (and Benji) enjoy the goods and glad to see the Luca portrait now sits in a place of honor!
