This makes me think perhaps we should submit our ages to the event coordinator going forward.

Also that label is awesome

I received a box in the mail, from the illustrious Chris Glass!




This was a very large box, as you can see. Also, notice the obligatory goofy face; don't worry, more goofy faces to come.




Wow! The box was absolutely stuffed with wrapped gifts! I was actually floored by this. Way to go, Mr. Glass.




Like a total idiot, I forgot to take pictures of all of the To/From stickers, as they were all unique, and awesome. One of my favorites was to: SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!




The first thing I unwrapped was this Big Brain Academy card game. I have since played it, and it is good silly fun. Here I am doing my best to look smart.




Next was a little Cubix robot. I did the robot so he wouldn't feel lonely. Little did I know how unnecessary this was; you'll see.




The next gift was a big version of the little robot! Cool! Now they aren't alone.




I opened the next gift, and got a third! Wow... how many robot mouths am I going to have to feed?




The next gift was.... another robot! Here I am leaning back, simulating the crushing weight of four robots. I thought it would be a nice finale to robots, because there was no way Chris was a cool enough guy to give me more autonomous friends...




FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE ROOOOOOOBOTS!!! Wowie zowie!




Huh, I wonder what's next? Another game? Some candy? A DVD?

Nope! Good thing I love robots, because I have six! (I am totally serious/not sarcastic. I adore robots.)




And after opening the last package, here's lucky robot number seven! All that was left in the box at this point was a couple of candy canes.




And here's a group photo.




The awesome robots are currently lined up on top of my cabinet, protecting my model of the cocaine molecule, the game is a lot of fun, and my girlfriend ate all my candy canes.

Thanks, Chris!

[MarioRPG]

Robot overkill!

[blood_panther]

how many players is the big brain game? hopefully at least 7....don't want a robot left out.

[dextire]

I haven't seen anything Cubix since like 2002, much less an huge set of them! Nice job, Chris!
That's some mighty impressive balancing there, Samfucious.

[dextire]

Alright, it looks like we're getting close to a fully successful Secret Santa event this year! Here's where we stand as of right now.
Participants who have yet to receive a SS package:
Mockery
Blood panther
Zhukov

Participants who have yet to have a SS package received:
Nekoneko61 - Shipped on Nov 30th.
MLE - Shipped on Dec 2nd.
Zhukov - Exact Date Unknown.
Samfucius - Shipped on Dec 6th.

Participants who have received a SS package and have not yet posted photos:
Babs - Received on Dec 5th - Unknown SS.
Protoclown - Received on Dec 6th - Dextire.
Nekoneko61 - Received on Dec 10th - Blood panther.

[blood_panther]

Nekoneko61 has also yet to post pictures.


hint hint.

also not sure your numbers add up. 4 people have yet to have a present received....but only 3 people who havent gotten a gift?

[dextire]

Whoops... sorry.

As to the numbers not adding up; Babs says he got his package but never said who it was from.
Based on the dates it looks like his SS was Nekoneko61, but I just left it blank since neither of them said this was true.
So that leaves 3 people who haven't received, and 3 people left who have shipped. Make any better sense now?

Also, it's all just a guess based on me reading the thread again so it's not official or anything.

[Fathom Zero]

Zhukov's shouldn't be surprising.

[Mockery]

I have yet to receive my gift.

Protoclown told me he filmed a video for the gifts he received and he's gonna email it to me sometime soon so I can put it up on the I-Mockery Youtube account, so keep an eye out for that one this week.

oh ok. gotcha. thanks!

[Zhukov]

Phew, I just got mine posted. Hope they receive it soon!

[Zhukov]

Joke.

I'm not worried about mine since it will take ages to get here and even longer to clear customs, that goes for the one I sent as well. I should have posted it earlier I guess, but I was still looking for stuff Soz.

Fingers crossed.

[blood_panther]

Woot! I just got my package in the mail. It's an extremly awesome kit, from Samfucius. Pictures will be up later today. but thank you so much Sam! the gifts were great and the letters made me and my friends cry tears of laughter!

[blood_panther]

So I was sitting around playing some minecraft when what should appear at my door? why it's my secret Santa gift from none other then Samfucius!

Spoilers!

The box was big. as were my hopes for the contents. inside I found a bunch of goodies each attached to numbered envelope. so starting at the beginning I started checking out my loot. turns out it was a specialty kit designed to turn me into the perfect man.....8 pages of instructions were included to help me on this glorious quest. well I'm already pretty manly but what the heck I could always do with a few more manly points. first up were 4 bags of army men......well actually 2 bags of army men, 1 bag of cowboys and Indians and 1 bag of....firemen? amusingly the firemen look the most dangerous with their axe wielding ways. but these weren't just any army men they were veteran army men! you could tell do to the lack of limbs on some of them. I think that last one had an unfortunate accident with a pipe of some sort. also included with the army men was a CD I could listen to as i made my army fight itself... The CD case broke in the mail and got pretty scratched up. the first track is unlistenable.....luckily Samfucius in his manly wisdom made all 5 tracks the same song! A very manly viking Dirge. all labeled track 1-5 so I'm not sure of the real name of the song, but it's all kinds of sweet. My new-found army and I proceeded to open up the next gift. 8 bags of fake mustashes! Only five are pictured because within an instint of me seeing them, me and my friends tried them on. but as I said I am already pretty manly and of course have a kicking goatee of my own. the fake mustaches don't stick to hair very well, but that wasn't going to stop me! next up came a manly survival guide. nothing more manly then junior novels. this one even came with 8 pages of color photos! I figure if anyone could sit through the third movie they would need a manly stomach to deal with the pain. this book should help me warm up to that. finally came the ultimate manly training device. Diplomacy the board game. this will be the perfect training tool to help me take over Europe, and besides anygame that takes at least 30 minutes a round is extreme to the max! in all I got a very nice haul. I've had a lot of fun with this secret Santa and glad I decided to join this year. many thanks to you Samfucius for the awesome gifts. I love war board games and foresee many a fun drunken night playing diplomacy.

Merry Christmas to all!

[MarioRPG]

You really should have went with Man Rule #1: Periods are for women.

[Samfucius]

I'm really glad you liked all the stuff. It's too bad the cd got scratched up, but it was supposed to be a gag anyways, so all is well. I had so much fun picking out the stuff, and especially writing the letter. Diplomacy really is one of my favorite board games of all time, so I hope you love it as much as I have.

Edit: the songs on the CD are a clip from Highlander (The One) by Lost Horizon. The rest of the song isn't so great, but the part I sent you is awesome.

Diplomacy the favorite board game of JFK

[Protoclown]

Alright, it's time for me to post my I-Mockery Secret Santa 2010 Photo Jamboree! My Secret Santa this year was Dextire, who sent me a box of awesomeness. So awesome that a holy light poured out as soon as I opened the box. It actually melted one of my roommate's faces off like at the end of Raiders, but I sadly don't have a photo of that.



There was a note inside the box, but I'm not going to include a picture of that, because it's paper, which I think you have all seen before. But it was an amusing note where Dextire explained everything that was in the box. As he warned me it contained SPOILERS, I opened all of the individually wrapped goodies first.

Here is what I found within:



A mini Sega Genesis game system with like six games that I plug directly into my TV! I have never had a Genesis, so this will be nice to play around with.



A copy of Sonic Spinball! His note explained that if I don't have a Genesis, I should display it prominently within my home so that people know what good taste I have in video games. I shall do this, and when people ask me specific questions about the game, I will distract them and jump out the nearest window.



This hilarious Transformer, Ejector. He turns into a fucking toaster. Yep. (Thinks he's a cylon). I can't think of a more ludicrously stupid thing for a Transformer to be. And he's a Decepticon too, so I guess he uses his sinister powers to BURN YOUR TOAST. Awesome. I got a very good laugh when I saw this guy.



Some DVDs! Dark Night of the Scarecrow, Trap Door, and a Rutger Hauer double feature (Omega Doom and Blind Fury, and it's hilarious how both of those cover images blend together). None of which I have seen! Excellent!



A pair of "Little Animal" telephones. I don't know why they are called Little Animal since they are clearly a Dragon Ball Z knockoff. I have included a video of all the annoying noises it makes at the end of this post! I actually have another similar cheesy annoying phone robot called "Combatant Phone". I will have to put up a video of the two of them dueling annoying noises sometime.



Tons of tasty treats!!



Some Dinosaurs Attack! and Coca-Cola trading cards. I'm sure they will be quite amusing. The Coca-Cola cards look especially cheesy. Dextire's note cautioned me not to eat the gum inside.



Some Chinese Health Balls! A hilarious little Hot Wheels watch! Some batteries to use in my Little Animal phones or perhaps the mini-Genesis! And a bald eagle keychain, which is so patriotic it's wearing a fucking American flag DO-RAG. Amazing. The only thing missing is the single tear rolling down its face!

Thank you Dextire! This was a most amusing box of stuff! This definitely gets the Protoclown stamp of approval!

And now, here is my video of the Little Animal phone in action!
