Most people didn't put a name down for whatever reason. Instructions are hard :shrug: But this is what elves are for - PM me or Midjack and ask us to get in touch with santees for questions like that. As it stands, there's a good chance that relaying your question would give away that you're santa to your santee, so you might wanna edit that out as Midjack suggested. I guess technically I could do it, but that feels weird.

i suggest a time delay in forwarding the question so we can maybe get a few more queries in to broaden the possibilities of who's asking.

yeah i know but it's easy to infer the content of the post above yours from what you said. counterintelligence is a tricky beast.

weedlord bonerhitler was an active user at one point though i don't think they posted in yospos.

The engine, code A855, has a cast iron closed deck block and split crankcase. It uses an 8.1:1 compression ratio with Mahle cast eutectic aluminum alloy pistons, forged connecting rods with cracked caps and threaded-in 9 mm rod bolts, and a cast high

Sorry in advance if you got me. I like

Cats, computers, cars and coffee. Outdoorsy hiking/backpacking, drink a little (nothing clear), new art for walls especially if it has a cat in it. Warhammers slightly, but I don’t play because the lgs smells real bad. Send me whatever, I like presents. Size fat

oh oh, three more relevant self descriptive items: I'll drink virtually anything apart from that cinnamon garbage spirit, coffee is the water of life that makes the thoughts attain speed and I dig almost any sort of design/architecture thing because I think it makes me look clever, postcards are great!

I've gotta go stalk some posts now.....

Hi I have been summoned by an elf to make a post for my Santa, I am sorry I am a terrible poster.

Likes:
- Funny computer
- "boomer shooters" (quake, doom, etc)
- Bicycles
- Art prints/books
- Gundam/Various big robots


Booze/food is okay, would be neat if it were local.
I have two 50ish pound dogs and a diabetic jackass cat

Thank you in advance for whatever you send me (unless it is a pest infested game console), and a merry yosmas to you!

I went to try and find good stuff yesterday and thought I'd found an absolutely perfect thing in a second hand bookshop but it turned out to a) actually be collectable and so like $100 and B) actually 50% pornography based on a follow-up image search which the cover did not make clear

so sorry Santee, no porn for you. I then found an incredibly perfect t-shirt but it was size xxs which is clearly never gonna work for yospos

so far this is not going well!

Boy did it ever!!

This will be the first of two posts I'll make about this.

Firstly I got this email while I was traveling overseas for work and barely any access to personal email



Which I finally accepted today and dang are these some sweet tracks (been listening since)



But wait... WHATS THIS?!



I, no lie, would've been happy with the bandcamp albums... lets open it up



It's tape! Ah here we go





As is always polite, lets open the card first



I fuckin love the stickers and will put one on my gym waterbottle right now!

But that leaves all this:



First off, great choices on wrapping paper, if I didn't know any better I'd think I wrapped this (with the same stickers). Second, we're doing a little pre-christmas gift unwrapping here on sunday, so if its okay with you I'd like to wait until then to have me and the fam (and doggo) unwrap them all.

Can't wait to open these up and now I feel kinda bad for my Santee (sorry, i'm traveling a lot this month Santee, so you'll have to accept gifts shipped from ebay/amazon)
