ILXmas 2009 - Secret Santa sees you when you're sleeping

Ok! People that signed up with me via this thread: ILXmas 2009 - Secret Santa sees you when you're sleeping - go sign up with Abbott, she's in charge. 'Tis the season

haha I suck so much

had no idea jaq was doing this

I'll let her then

Or?

Sorry I did not see yr thread Jaq!

I just assumed bcz I did it last year that I was again this year.

Psychic end date connection there! O_O

roxy needs to track down hari for me

I guess I am doing this then.

Hari needs to quit haunting things!

omar little, if your gift was the capacity for patient hopefulness then consider it delivered.

i assume the best in people, which means i assume that hari did send it and the post office did not lose it but rather is merely taking its time. i remain ever hopeful, yes.

i wonder what it could be?? *~bounces from foot to foot~*

maybe it was an invisible cheap jiggly weight loss method.

sorry to hijack thread:

image overload of what my grandads place looks like as of this weekend:

hmm, a couple didn't load. i guess that is enough as is. hate that place.

are you clearing it out?

― Louis Cll (darraghmac), 01 December 2009 11:06 (19 minutes ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

yes. most of it anyway. he used to own a toy shop and just never got rid of the leftover stock so a lot of it we are just trying to find someone to buy wholesale, if we can't it'll get chucked. he was also an antiques removals man, so there are fuck load of things he just happened to leave on the back of his van we need to get checked out (this saturday i found a picnic basket full of goergian silver for example, and those paintings). the garden will just provide a cool wdyll w/ a chainsaw. either way :(

this is after about 3 months of cleaning and clearing btw. for example, the kitchen/bathroom is in a normal, 'livable' state and i didn't take any pictures. maybe i should of the bath, which is full to the ceiling of cardboard boxes and sack trucks tho.

hmm can we actually make this happen?

― Louis Cll (darraghmac), 01 December 2009 11:25 (0 seconds ago)

Ha. Sure. Abb, email me at samuelpooley @ googlemail .com [spaces missing obv] later this week and i will be up for a lucky dip secret santa of crap/possibly-something-priceless-depending-on-what-i-pick-up.

I think you misread the instructions, you need to email Abbott your name and mailing address by December 5th to take part in this.

yeah i will

i think you missed the huge post above that tuomas? samuel's gonna send EVERYONE a present

well, like 10 ppl at most.

actually, i guess it depends on what i end up w/

samuel is going to come to a fap and bring presents iirc

samuel is gonna dress up as santa and come to all of our houses, i think he said that anyway.

i think if i can get a santa costume for v. cheap, i would do a fap christmas tbh

really should just stop talking

hahahaha

we were to believe there'd be punch and pie?

a pint would be nice

hmm i can't make an xmas fap in london. what are you offering me and customers like me?

a lifesize cut out of martin jol?

a lifesize is pretty big but given the cuttee that is eminently plausible

There is going to be a Christmas FAP in London? When is this happening?

eh i think we're making stuff up tbh

receipt of martin jol related paraphenelia would lead to sb's.

still tho, there could be if ENBB will come. i'll bring nog and a sloth.

n'gog

amazing

Hey, I got a webmail from "the acquired taste that is howard wolowitz" but it doesn't show yr proper user name. Or actual name in the email. Who are you, mystery person?

Webmails don't let you reply to the sender fwiw.

Isn't that a character in The Big Bang Theory?

Going round there tomorrow, if I get some good swag I'll email you Abbott. Even if I don't, i'll then take part in just teh normal secret santa.

got 4 things (2 quite fancy, 2 novelties), will be going around again tomorrow. will then email abbott :)

How exciting!

So, this.

"bump,"

she said.

yuh seriously, people sign up

^^^dude is king of the mails

I am so excited about secret santa this year! I remember getting my first package 4 years ago, I think from someone in Martha's Vineyard, and it was awesome. They got me a chocolate letter S!

I had a lot of fun buying stuff for my person last year but I don't know if they got it. If they did, please tell me how you liked it! It was the one with a bunch of shit and a really condescending letter written on yellow paper.

bump for abbz

LAst day to sign up. Ok!

Hey, once again, whoever sent me a webmail as the acquired taste that is howard wolowitz, please email me at igotabeefpastry at gmail dot com. I don't know your email or actual username at the moment, so I can't email you your partner's info. I also don't feel comfortable having someone send a package to "the acquired taste that is howard wolowitz" and expecting it to get there, so I need to hear from you ASAP if you want to participate. *shrug machine*

wtf darragh you think you could at least sign up for getting me in this shit

the acquired taste that is howard wolowitz

Haha - er...that's me...

Will email you now.

i'll do first round of sendings tomorrow, just bought some jiffi envelopes.

yeah i'd sign up but i wouldn't have a clue what to get for anyone else, tbh.

it must be too late to sign up now?

Yeah, everyone's already been paired up...sorry ken.

if you let me and ken in now then it's not so secret, really.

i'd probably send you a few arshavin printouts anyway

if somebody wants a lol novelty piece of promotional material, let me know! (not looking to get anything in return)

I sent my packet today, hopefully my Secret Santee will get it before Christmas.

:D FINNISH.

You got it already?

Thanks for the whistle, by the way. It feels oddly erotic to blow some British soldier guy's feet.

ha. next year i will actually do this properly instead of just sending crap to everyone :)

this is actually kinda dope but i have to ask- guns in finland? is this a thing or are they just doing that annoying thing of talking about it because its hiphop and they assume thats the imagery they should be using (a common piece of bullshit in ukhh).

That part sounded a bit weird to me too, but I think the guy is trying to do these sort exaggerated angsty lyrics, not anything realistic. The thing with Finnish rap is, the ones who rap in English usually write more generalized, less location-specific lyrics (I guess because it would be weird to rap about Finnish issues and Finnish hoods in English), whereas the ones who rap Finnish usually talk more about local issues - and they rarely if ever rap about guns, because guns are not big issue here, or not least in the way they are in the US. (Finnish gun murders are usually the sort of cases where someone goes nut and shoots his/her family, or goes on a shooting spree, gang-related gun crimes are quite rare.) Tommishock raps in Finnish too, and I haven't heard him talk about guns in Finnish, so I guess it's just a case of different approach to rapping in different language. But I agree it's kinda odd, and I don't think it's really necessary to adopt that sort of imagery even if you're rapping in English.
