The Third Annual LRR Forum Secret Santa! (CLOSED)

[Kapol]

I still need to figure out what I'm going to do. I'm thinking of going all-digital, but I'm not sure my giftee would like that. Plus I'm still not sure what I'd actually get. So yea. Ummm... words.

[Evil Jim]

Pig sweetening is when you add to an already awesome lot of things!


HFCS is high fructose corn syrup.

Thanks! Also, I found the Desert Bus Lexicon, which has helped explain a lot of memes I didn't know the origin of. Now I can ask fewer stupid questions!

[TheRocket]

No problem. I still don't know half the DB memes

[The Mimm]

Ha! The pig is sweetened! Santee, you are getting the crap gifted out of you. Present completion estimated tomorrow.

[Keab42]

This week has been a whirlwind of long hours at work and anti-depressant withdrawal. Once my brain is firing on more than one neuron I shall begin the process of gifting.

[Geoff_B]

It's possible for a brain to fire on more than one neuron? I was not aware of this!

[Lord Hosk]

This week has been a whirlwind of long hours at work and anti-depressant withdrawal. Once my brain is firing on more than one neuron I shall begin the process of gifting.

My sympathy kaeb42, that withdrawal is probably the worst time anyone will ever have, which is sad because you wouldnt be on them in the first place unless you were in a really bad place.

[beramode0]

So I got most of the stuff for my santee except for some little things. I bought clay just to prepare for the worst case scenario of me crafting, but I think I will be able to get all the stuff and ship it out next week.

[The Mimm]

can I just say, customs is a bitch. Coming up with the vaguest possible terms to put on a customs label so the santee will still be surprised is not fun.

[the_lone_bard]

I've never had to ship anything over seas... This will be an experience.
But first I gotta wait for things to calm down postdesertbus. I'm not even gunna have a start till wednesday when I get home.

[Phailhammer]

I'm still trying to think of something, but I'll assuredly have whatever I pick shipped on time.

[Geoff_B]

Hmmm... sweeten the pig...

I've got it! My secret santa will receive a live pig swimming in gallons of honey!

[Lord Hosk]

Hmmm... sweeten the pig...

well I dont want to give the same gift as you... I guess I will just take this back to the store and start over.

[Evil Jim]

I guess I literally did sweeten the pig last year with my inclusion of a whole mess of impulse-purchased novelty bacon stuff.

[Drdiggit42]

Are we going to put runner's logos on the boxes so our santees know what the box is before they open it? I can't seem to find the one I used last year.

[Elomin Sha]

Just a heads up. I may be a bit late because of having to spend another week in bed.

[Metcarfre]

Hope nobody's diabetic CUZ THIS PIG IS GONNA BE SWEET YO

[Geoff_B]

Would it be possible to let the sender know when the package is received?

[Duckay]

I was planning to post in the thread when I received mine.

[Evil Jim]

I'm not the moderator here but I think these are good ideas mentioned so far.

YES - Draw the LRR logo somewhere on the exterior of the packaging so the recipient knows what it is.

YES - Post in the thread once you have received said package, to put your Santa's mind at ease.

[Kapol]

In the opinion of others, how soon should someone who's going digital send their gift?

[Evil Jim]

If it's digital, I'd say week of Christmas.

[Metcarfre]

Just a reminder the first weekend of December is THIS WEEKEND!!!

[Evil Jim]

I already have a couple items for my recipient that I'm definitely sending, but I can't come up with a theme to tie everything together. I don't know much about them & recon is difficult. It's risky, but I might end up having to put together a selection of stuff *I* feel is awesome & hope it works.

Also, as an added note, a LRR arrow on the side of the package will make it move faster through the postal system. You can't prove that it's not going to work that way.

I've got my Santa's gifts collected and just about ready to send off. All that is really left is to package everything up and send it on it's merry little way to [REDACTED].
