FORUM EVENT: "I-MOCKERY'S 2013 SECRET SANTA EVENT!"

[captain516]

Dude, Alienator is the funniest scifi movie since Spaceballs. (Okay, maybe unintentionally, but still.) Didn't even know it had a dvd release...

Leper, I got you as my santa? I'm twice as excited now seeing alll the awesome packages you've given out before.

[Ex Leper]

Why wait?

[BatmanJohnson]

A wild package appears....

I didn't even notice I had that. I'm definitely going to have to play with it soon.

Oh, and the brown candy canes are "cappuccino" flavor. Just so you know.

Thanks so much again for the awesome gift, Dextire!

[captain516]

Alright, let's get down to business.


Neat and tidy!


Ex Leper was my secret santa, and he gifted me with a mountain of gifts. Or at least it would be a mountain, if I was tiny. Hey, maybe one of the presents is a shrink ray!


Gift #1 was candy! Candy that could potentially be used as a hockey puck, that is. Seriously, the average reeses are completley dwarfed by these half pound behemoths. I haven't tried the mints yet, but I'm kind of afraid to because the colors remind me of Hungry Hungry Hippos and I don't want to taste hippo meat


Gift #2 is a parachute dude that I can't really do anything with right now because it's cold and dark out and there aren't any tall buildings near me


Gift #3 are these awesome litlle squeeze top things that you put on your condiment bottles and it looks like the monster is puking out the contents! Cool! The package for the guy on the right says Mustard Monster, but clearly there's been some sort of mixup at the place where they package these because I got Bart Simpson instead.

Here's a fact about Ex Leper that not too many people know-the guy's very, very generous. Gift #4 was a certificate to a tattoo parlor of my choice, and I went all out:

Haha it's actually a tattoo sleeve! I sure fooled you guys!
This makes me wish it was real, though:



And finally, 8 movies, none of which I've even heard of before. Excellent.



Thanks for making my holidays not suck, Ex Leper!



BONUS: Kitteh Cat inspects the aftermath




if it fits, i sits.

[ChrisGlass]

And the gift has arrived!

Thank you to Captain516 for getting the gifts on the nose! The wife is especially happy!

[blood_panther]

Happy wife, happy life.

Does she like the card? I printed it out specially for her.

Yes. She put it on the wall next to her desk.

Captain516 - How are the Reese's Cups? I've seen those giant ones and am curious if the peanut butter to chocolate ratio is still good as the normal ones. Looks pretty awesome. Also, I demand a photo of the monsters in action while barfing up ketchup and mustard! Nice Scream Factory DVDs too. Well done, Ex Leper!

ChrisGlass - Good to see another video featuring the Santa Snuggie haha! Nerds Ropes are extremely addictive, and that's quite a hefty handful of 'em. I think we all need to see a photo of the Minecraft zombie figure with all your other figures on your desk. Good stuff, captain516!

Also, I just got my package from Thanos in the mail and it's seriously awesome! Will try to get a post up about it as soon as possible.

[ChrisGlass]

They staged a coup of my desk! But Optimus and Megatron fought them off.

[Protoclown]

I got my package yesterday from MarioRPG! And a mighty fine package it is (I'll bet all the ladies say that!)



Inside were some books and candy, and what appeared to be a waaaay-too-expensive e-reader!


Whew! The e-reader was Canadian candy and syrup instead! I am relieved, because I would have felt obligated to sleep with MarioRPG otherwise, and I'm not sure I wanted to do that.


My friend Karim found some creepy pictures in the Batmobile book:


But it made a little more sense when I found the note on the back:


Though I don't know why he originally signed it 10,000 Volt. Apparently he is having some kind of identity crisis (on infinite earths).



Thanks, MarioRPG! I'm already familiar with Ready Player One, as it's one of my favorite books, though I didn't have the hardcover version. And I'm sure I will enjoy reading through that Batmobile book, there's all kinds of fun stuff in there! And I greatly look forward to trying the candy too! A job well done indeed!!

Mockery got you a set at the same time for your Birthday. i should have sent it the same day, unfortunately lost my job the day after. Will send as soon as I can.

[MarioRPG]

Great to see all the joy that happened during my brief absence. Dextire continues to be awesome at this whole secret santa deal, very cool of you to give a whole mountain like that! Also enjoyed see the Captain's photos - bonus points always for cats! But... I do have to make special mention of ChrisGlass - that video was fantastic, and everyone should watch it. Merry xmas to the lot of you!


As for you, Protoclown, I'm glad the gifts made it! Hope you enjoy the lot, I thought the Batmobile book was pretty nifty and right up your alley!

[blood_panther]

my package is within 30 minutes of it's destination. Should get there today or tomorrow hopefully.

Edit:Out for delivery. hope my gift receiver is ready for some Christmas awesome.

Edit Edit: Delivered!

[Mockery]

Nice Batmobile book indeed! Nice work, MarioRPG!

Update: I just got Jury Duty, so I'm not gonna be able to post my pics right away. Will do it soon as I have a chance.

[dextire]

Jury Duty! It's a Christmas miracle!

Very nice stuff, guys!
All packages/letter have arrived! Pictures coming soon (as in this weekend).

[replicant]

For many a reason my planned gifting didn't go the way I wanted it to, and I had to opt for a very austere and humble (i.e. not as creative as I wanted to get) gifting of goodies. Please forgive me "recipient"....I think you will like what I am having sent but I plan to actually (this is of my own planning )do a little something extra when you least expect it since I have your address (mwahaha)...effing Amazon #$#(*$&#($#$.... Sadly the gift is scheduled to get delivered December 17th in the evening. Crossing my fingers.

[Captain Conquest]

Sent secret Santa package a while ago, I just got mine now!! There will be Pics!!!

I sent mine last week. I'll get the tracking number to you late Sunday. But I heard a lot of cross continent mail was delayed because of snow storms.

[blood_panther]

no need to send me anything. I'm just sharing the list for anyone who's interested.

[MarioRPG]

Hey blood_panther, what about the people you're missing? Do they just not have a category? YOUR LIST OBSESSION IS FLAWED.

Yeah, same here. I tried to be creative, but seeing the packages others have gotten so far makes me feel like I could have crammed more stuff in. The pickings for retro/novelty stuff at the flea market aren't so good around these parts.

[BatmanJohnson]

Hello! Earlier last week I received something from the frozen north. My secret santa present from none other but Ronin S. What a package it was.



Oooh a letter let's see.It included a list of everything just in case those dastardly customs officers had looted my package. I'm happy to say everything arrived safely. Including this wonderful limerick, that I hope you won't mind me sharing:

A young teenaged guy named Ted
went out and fought the undead
Looked up and around
And what had he found?
A well blasted zombie head.

I have to say that's quite a start. Let's dig in


lucky, hmm haven't heard of it but it's cappuccino flavored so it has to be good.



Strawberry pocky! It's almost as though you read my mind and knew of my love for japanese snack foods and candy.



Hrm Tropical Pocky, I haven't tried it yet but it looks promising.



Almond crush pocky is my favorite version of pocky! I was really excited when I saw this.


More lucky sticks. with all this luck I may have to play the lottery.



Maple flavored popcorn. Is this what Canada tastes like? if so I may move.



Lookit this little Mountie Teddy Bear. It's cute, and also comes with a short history of the Mounted Police. If toy story is right he's going to commander another toy to ride on and police my room.



Last but not least, an Official Certified Zombie killer sign. According to the letter I am now a certified Zombie killer, watch out Zombies I have a license to kill.

Thank you very much Ronin! Sorry It took so long to upload, finals week and what not. Also not pictured are the fish stickers because my roommate was moderately amused and may have absconded with them.
