You have to mail out a real letter too since you're a new user, and I haven't even received your PM yet so I can send you the mailing address. You'd better jump on that fast or you won't be able to make the deadline this year.

No problemo, we'll see you next year for the event, and you can still enjoy all the posts that people make this year even if you're not an actual participant.

So far witht he new user with new user thing its not too hard to guess who Im going to end up with. :) Hopefully some more people will get confirmed soon so its actually a "secret" Santa. Hee hee hee.

See....Thats all it will do, Tiny, or Horrendously large.... DOES THIS WORK? Or does it have to be absoloutely perfect? By the way, Mockery, I have mailed my test letter, and sent my PM, posted the pic, Is there anything I am missing?

Is your finger a barbeque lighter?

JackSchmidtKnifeThrower, yeah those pics are fine. Thanks for posting 'em.

MarioRPG, no that's a Freddy glove.

Sweet. Glad you recognized it.

Oh and AWESOME avatar, MarioRPG.

SIGNUP THREAD

It's that time of year again. Time for I-Mockery's 3rd annual Secret Santa Event! This is the commemorative holiday event in which Mockers leave their computers for a few minutes to send ZANY and HILARIOUS gifts to other Mockers at random, who then post the results of the exchange on the forums in this thread. Then the Mockers who sent out gifts will receive gifts of their own to post on the forums. What this holiday commemorates exactly is lost to history, but tradition is tradition, and if there's anything internet addicts hate, it's change. So are you ready to send gifts to and receive gifts from people who, in all likeliness, are complete strangers? You bet you are!

So here's how it works: You sign yourself up in this thread. On or around November 27th, you will be PMed with the name of the Mocker whom you will be SENDING A GIFT TO. You should NOT share this information with anyone else. You will then buy a present with this person in mind - if you don't know anything about this person, don't worry about it, just buy something you think would be fun for just about anybody to receive and post pictures of. Make this a good present, but don't spend too much on it (between $15 and $20 USD, not including shipping costs). Send them their present WITH YOUR FORUM NAME IN THERE SOMEWHERE by December 5th. Shortly thereafter, you will receive a present from your very own Secret Santa! Take pictures of your gifts, import or scan 'em in, upload them, and share them with us by posting them this thread by December 20th. Feel free to create a fun story about your gifts with the photos. During this time, you should also buckle yourself up for jingle bells of jubilation.

Also, when you do post the pictures of the gifts you receive, we strongly encourage you to make a story/adventure out of it just like we've done in previous years. But at the very least, you should post photos of all the gifts you received along with your thoughts on them.

If you want to SIGN YOURSELF UP, you must do so by MAKING A POST IN THIS THREAD BY NOVEMBER 27th.

By signing, you agree to the following terms and conditions:
· Signing represents a contract. If you fail to uphold your end of the contract, you will be permanently banned from the forums, and possibly tracked down and sodomized.

· You MUST observe all deadlines and follow all of the instructions.

· You MUST spend the required amount of $15 - $20 on the gift for your recipient. This amount does not include any shipping charges.

· You MUST have a working camera (buy a disposable digital camera if you don't own a regular digital camera) and some means by which to transfer the images to your computer and upload them for others to see. We've been lenient about posting photos in the past, but there's no reason why anybody wouldn't have access to take a picture and post it on the web these days, so you will be banned if you fail to post your photos by the deadline unless you received your gifts late. If that happens, contact us and we'll work something out for you so you can post your photos a few days later.

· If you want to be lame and make/build something, that's fine and dandy, but please keep the spending minimum in mind and throw some other goodies in there. If you think parents really like it when their kids give them a crayon drawing as a present, you're wrong. DEAD wrong. If you're making something, we strongly suggest sending it in addition to the $15 - $20 worth of gifts that you buy for the person.· Your mailing address CANNOT be a P.O. Box. No gifts will be sent to P.O. boxes nor will anyone with a P.O box as a mailing address be allowed to participate in the Secret Santa event.

IF YOU'VE BEEN REGISTERED LESS THAN A YEAR:

To prevent misuse, any member who has been registered and active with these forums for less than a year MUST do the following:

1. Provide a picture of themselves with a sign that says both "I-MOCKERY SECRET SANTA 2007" along with their message forum name/name in plain view.

2. Post this picture in this thread for all to see.

3. Send a PM to Mockery, who will then provide you with a mailing address for you to send a test/verification letter to. (the sooner you do this, the better)

4. Send a test letter to Mockery at the mailing address he provides you with. The letter needs to include your full name, return mailing address and your name here on the I-Mockery forums.

These steps are necessary to verify that you have a working camera and the motivation to get your ass to a post office.

DEADLINES:
· The cutoff date for SIGNUPS is November 27th.

· The cutoff date for SENDING GIFTS is December 5th.

· The cutoff date for POSTING PICTURES ON THE FORUMS OF THE GIFT(S) YOU RECEIVED is December 20th.

WHEN MAILING YOUR PACKAGE:
· You should probably observe federal law regarding what can and cannot be mailed.

· You MUST send your gift via Priority mail or your country's equivalent to avoid delays in people receiving their gifts.

· You MUST purchase a tracking number with your transaction. If your package is not received within a week, you will need this information to prove that it wasn't your fault.

· Do NOT send a PM or email to the person who you are sending a gift to in an attempt to let them know that you're their Secret Santa. It's called "Secret" Santa for a reason, people.

WHEN RECEIVING YOUR GIFT PACKAGE:
· You MUST take photos of all the items you receive and post them on them in this Secret Santa thread no later than December 20th, 2007.

· You MUST post some comments so everybody knows what you thought about the gifts you received. Creating a fun holiday story with your photos is also recommend, but not a requirement.

· If it's getting close to the posting deadline and you still haven't received your own Secret Santa gift package (say by roughly December 15th) please send a PM to Mockery so your Secret Santa gift sender can be contacted to see what the hold up is.

IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES:

· You can still participate in this event, but we will do our best to pair you up with somebody else who lives outsite of the U.S. as well. This is to avoid one person getting stuck with higher shipping charges. However, if we have an odd number of foreign participants, we'll obviously have one person who has to send his/her gifts out of the country. But hey, it's all part of the Secret Santa game and we expect everybody to live up to their end of the deal and not squabble over petty things like a few additional bux for shipping.

Good thing you quoted that. I'd be lost had you not.

ditto. reminds me of something I would do :)

hey draw a sidewalk wants to join, she'll send the email confirm for BOTH OF US (same address for both us just like last year)

she wants to be paired with a vet, and she wants a girl (if she can get one, she thinks it a girl will be easier to shop for as she was unpleased shopping for hickman last year :lol)

email coming soon (later tonight when she gets off work)

Furthermore, she'll get paired with a vet (if she signs up in time) since she participated before, but I'm not taking any other requests as far as who gets paired up with who. This is a "secret" santa event after all. So if she can't deal with being paired up with a guy (which is more likely to happen) then she should prolly sit this one out.

I remember the exact same thing happened last year. It's almost the deadline! :domo

So do I. It's lame :domo

Whoops, forgot to post here.

Anywho, I've got a camera this year. Hold up a bit for the photos, I've gotta find the damn thing.

shopping for hickman was fun, i want to be in again this year!

good, you made it :picklehat

love the avatar btw.

Off topic, but How did you get the 'Pickleman' smiley?

On topic, you said "but I'm not taking any other requests as far as who gets paired up with who. This is a "secret" santa event after all." but Would it be possible to not be paired with someone outside of the U.S.? The only reason I say that is, I would have trouble shipping it. Sorry.

He already mentioned that he's trying to pair people up at least on the same continents.

That's going to be quite a feat, considering there's like seven of them and stuff.

Let me know if my RL letter dosent get there on time will ya?

Just a sittin here waitin eagerly to go shopping. Well as soon asI figure out who or what Im buying for. :)

Your letter got here on the very last day, as did Captain Pirateface's. So you two both barely made it in hehe.

Anyway, I'll be sending out everybody's Secret Santa assignments sometime today/tonight, so keep an eye on your forum PM boxes and get ready to do some holiday shoppin!

Since I don't "know" anyone from the forum, old or new, I took the liberty to buy everything as I found it in shops. And I'm very happy with what I bought, and I hope the person receiving my stuff will like it as much as I do ;D

ATTENTION ALL SECRET SANTA EVENT PARTICIPANTS!

All of your assignments have been sent out! Check your forum inbox and look for a PM from me to see who you need to send your Secret Santa gifts to!

And don't forget the deadlines!

SENDING YOUR GIFT OUT DEADLINE: DECEMBER 5TH

POSTING PHOTOS OF THE GIFTS YOU RECEIVE DEADLINE: DECEMBER 20TH

Ho Ho Ho.

oh man my person is awesome. I should have fun getting stuff for them.

is it legal to send shit through the mail system?

You have single handedly made me happy to be in the new catagory.

Oh Bloody Hell... I think I missed it by a day. Damn my busy life in the real world! This is what I get for being a bank manager. There must be someone who still needs a gift.

Thanos, if another person pops up (such as Misdemonar, who was having trouble sending our her address confirmation email) I might be able to set you two up for a mutual exchange. But that's about the best I could offer... and it's something the two of you would have to work out since you're a new user and you never sent your verification snail mail letter on time either.

Sweet! Now the fun begins. Huzzah!

I had an Idea. Anyone think it would help for getting gifts to send if people post their specific likes/dislikes? I just can't find an easier way of finding out what others are interested in, other that reading post, after post, after post... I know this idea is going to get 1 of 3 different responces. Responce 1, "Yeah, that sounds good. I like......". Responce 2, "No way, that is the stupidest idea I have ever heard! And I have heard some of Peter Griffin's!" Or, the most common, Responce 3"_________ ". (Completely getting ignored.) (again). I just thought it would prevent something like the story I heard from Secret Santa's Past, The 14-year-old getting a Cigar. I don't know... Any thoughts?

EDIT: Sorry Misdemonar, that bytes.

Although my first choice of a rabid weasel was rejected when the post ofice threatened to have me arrested if I didnt get it out of there. Oh and I like X-box 360s and Playstation 3s. I will stress. I repeat I will stress strongly that I do not like Tranny and black man porn. No sir I do not like it at all. Oh and I also do not smoke or drink well I drink but not alcohalic beverages. oh crap never mind now Im rambling......

Sorry, but I constantly sent you notices 'n stuff but never got your info in time and we had to move forward. I can assign you to that one new guy (Thanos) who's running late... sure you know WHO your secret santa is, but you don't know what he'd get you. You'd both just have to get stuff for each other.

Let me know if you guys want to do that and I'll send you guys your assignments.

No. Do NOT even bother doing this at all. Secret Santa is all about the SURPRISE factor of what you're getting. Will it be good? Will it be lame? Who knows. That's the risk you take and it's all part of the fun. This event isn't about who gets the best gifts... it's about having fun sending somebody some gifts and seeing them post about 'em here on the forums. If you're in this to get great shit for yourself, you're in it for the wrong reasons.

Agreed, email problems suck, but that doesn't answer my question. Would you like to be paired up with Thanos? He's looking for a person to exchange with since he was running late due to his job.

Just came from shopping. Going to send my gifts tomorrow.

Well my person lives on....the same planet XD Yeah, sending out my stuff saturday! I hope it will arrive in time, with all the christmas mail and such... :x:hypno:)

I just sent mine about an hour ago. Should be there by this weekend. Heh shipping cost me about sixty cents more than the actual gift or gifts.

I'll get mine out on monday or so... Tomorrow if really unlikely.

I just received a confirmation letter from saltshakermaniac. It was 2 days late, so if you two want to do a gift exchange, I can help set it up. Just lemme know.

Sorry, And I am in NO way "In this to get great shit for myself", that's Certainly not what I could possibly expect, or the reason I joined. Damn, I dide'nt event think of that. I dide'nt even think of Weird/Strange/Gag gifts for some reason. And this is the I-Mockery Forums. Geez...I feel like a total Idiot now. Whatever, Just wanted to apologise, so...Sorry, again.

"You can do what I did and just wander a local store looking for strange and/or decent enough items."

Thanks, thats probably what I'll probably wind up doing. Like I said before, this IS I-Mockery after all.

I will toatally take thanos

Ok drop him an email and let me know if you two need anything.

Also, saltshakermaniac just sent in his confirmation letter, so maybe you guys could do a 3-way exchange like this:

Misdemonar sends to saltshakermaniac
saltshakermaniac sends to Thanos
Thanos sends to Misdemonar

Yeah sure i would still like to get in on this, like i said it sounds like fun. So sure do what must be done.

Ok, just came back from the post office. paid 3€ extra to make it go by airmail so it will certainly arrive before december 20th. My recipient should get the gift in two weeks

Great. Thanks for making sure the gift(s) get to your Secret Santa recipient on time, RaNkeri.

My gift(s) will arrive in approx. two weeks. 30 dollars for arrival in one week was a bit much for me :\

I bought a bunch of stuff today but won't send until tuesday. Boo ya.

i still have to shop.... hoping to get it done tomrow.... ao much pressure to top what i bought last year.... The Avenging Unicorn Playset with real stabbing action.... haha

I still have to shop, but I am pretty sure that I will be able to get it shipped by Mon.

Whatever you guys do, just make sure you ship out the gifts by December 5th at the latest.

Still haven't shopped but don't worry!

I'll get it done.

I'll be ready to ship by Tuesday at the latest. Need to see if I can find a few more things, but I've got the major stuff already.

I finished getting a whole bunch of stuff today, I'll probably be able to send the package tomorow (Mon) or at the latest tues.

I've got my Item(s) packed for shipping and I am about to go ship the package.

I received my package last Friday (thanks Grislygus!) and I purchased my shizznits today, which will be sent out tomorrow.

Damn, that was FAST! :o Nice job on shipping stuff out quickly Grislygus. When you gonna post the pics of what he got ya, Jason?

Anywho, Re and I both sent out our Secret Santa packages today so hopefully they'll arrive at their destinations no later than the 15th.

The package I sent was delivered today. :) Tracking numbers are awesome.

Got my package today, thanks RaNkeri! :rock I'll try to make the photo-story this weekend =D

Whoa, it went faster than I thought :x

sending mine out today.

Sent my crap out today.....Should be there by the 6th

I got mine yesterday. Took the pictures and I'm working on the story. Thankee Sai AliSabbah!!

mailed my stuff out thi smorning! got two day priority so it should reach its destination soon

Shoot fellas, I'll really try to get my junk shipped (bought :eek) today, but we've gotten 20cm of snow/day for the last two days, and it's near white-out conditions. The forecast isn't looking too promising, but I will try to do it tonight damnit!

Your welcome gracious Sir. Hopefully you like the stuff I kind of guessed. After you tell your story Ill let you know which one I had to buy for myself too because I liked it so much. :)

Originally Posted by MarioRPG (Post 513322)

Yeah, I'm kind of in the same situation, aside from not having bought anything.

Fuck. I'll ship out tomorrow as I was sick today. And if I don't manage, I'll overnight it, banning or no.

Despite record snowfall, a 107 fever and the worst flu I've ever had the goods have been purchased and are on their way.

My presents are bought and sent, they should be there very soon.

So you're saying you sent a little something extra special to your recipient, eh? To whoever has J as their Secret Santa, I hope you enjoy the flu virus!

In all seriousness, thanks for sending your stuff out on time J (and everybody else who has sent theirs out already too). If you can get your stuff sent out on time under those conditions, that just shows there's no excuse for anybody else not to. Rock on.

Bought, and will be sent tomorrow. ;o

alright, how wants the free shit I bought?

I put mine in the mail tonight, so it should be out tomorrow.

mailing it tomorrrrrrrrrrrrow

Mailing this morning.

IT'S IN THE MAIL, BAY-BEE!

Tracking Number says mine has been delevered! I hope they have fun with it!!

I went to the post office today to buy an envelope and tested the size with one of my gifts. It didn't fit, so I bought the next biggest size.

I got home and loaded up my envelope with my gifts, and realized I couldn't find my "test gift" I mentioned before. Oh shit, I thought, I left it on the floor of the post office. Sadly, this was by far the best gift I was to include.

So I hitch a ride back to the post office and about 30 seconds after I leave the car it hits me "FUCK! I FORGOT MY DAMN PACKAGE!" I hate myself, I get my gift back from the post office though, so now I have to go back there later tonight for the third damn time. Luckily, they will recognize me, and I'll choose an appropriate shipping service. :lol

EDIT: Shipped as of 7:00 PM EST, should arrive within a week.

Chojin's and mine are SENT

SENT SENT SENT MINE IS SENT BY THE DEADLINE HURRAY FOR SAM!

Sent this morning, $10 S&H, presents inbound.

Psssh, I sent it around 4:30 HOOSIER TIME and the postage was roughly $21.

Alright, I 'm gunna get rid of this stuff, or somebodys gunna get hurt.

Misdemonar, honestly, I'd save whatever you bought for now. While it's odd you bought stuff in advance but were still unable to get some of the simpler tasks done in time, there's always the chance that one of the other participants will get screwed over. Should that happen, perhaps we can work it out so you can get in and help do some damage control. I'm hoping nothing like that happens this year though and it sounds like everybody's been sending out their stuff on time (though many waited 'til the last possible minute haha).

To those of you who already received your gift(s), I hope you're gonna start posting your photos soon!

Still working on the story... sorry it's taking a while.

Cool, that's a lotta pics. But why post them when you don't have the story/text written out yet? :o

Needed to get em off my camera phone.

In the beginning there was a bag.

And it was pretty.

Inside the bag was a box.

And it was also pretty. And taped.

And inside the box was chocolate.

And I was happy.

Mr. Fazer makes really nice chocolate. But there were more gifts! For example, Salmiakki. I'm not a big fan myself, but my mom likes it.

This thing looked kinda innocent.

It says: Be always happy with practical joke.

I pulled out the "gummi" and an iron spring hit my thumb. It actually kinda hurt, I mean, it's supposed to give you a scare but this thing is pretty vicious! It's hits you right beside the nail, where it hurts the most. Someone who really hates children and/or practical jokes must have made it. I guess he's sitting in the factory all day, bending all the springs a bit to the side...:hypno

And then there was this very discreet brown envelope. This scared me. I noticed the words tranny porn somewhere on the forum, and the letter in the box told me RaNkeri "wasn't expecting to be paired up with a girl, so some gifts might feel a little strange".

Iek?

It's Spidermanni! With a link to a finnish translation site. I decided to read it without help first. I mean, I've been reading comics for about eight years now, and well...it's not rocket science.

There's a very ugly Carnage on the cover, and Venom and Bullseye. Excitement! Inside there's the Fantastic Four. This has to be Civil War stuff. Ah yes, there's Iron Man and...some guy with wings and an eagle on his chest. Spidey in his horrible shiny suit has a four page fight with Iron Man. There I spotted this panel. Warning! Not for the faint of heart.

Omg?

OMG?! I knew there was reason I stopped reading Spiderman a few years ago :x:x:x:x XD

For no reason at all I made a pic of Cap with a pre-made camera phone afro.

Can you dig it?

Cheers raNkeri! :domo

I'm glad you liked 'em. :love

And how was the beer by the way?

To be honest, it's still unopened, since I don't drink :lol But it's on the honor spot, on top of my computer, together with a G1 transformer, a plushie of a rocket and my trusty and never correct date-thingie with the Sombrero =D
