2008 Cellar Secret Santa - Page 3

SG is quite right. I was the one that had something to say about starting late which excluded some of us from getting out our pressies in time. As it turned out, I ended up sending a number of gifts to people on here and I recieved one in return from all bar Jimbo who has already admitted he's a slack bastard and really should be more considerate of people who are tender and emotional...and btw in case he feels he should make amends by sending the gift a year later, he'll need to remember that my address has changed.

There you go. All sorted now?

I'll be in SS this year, but I am pretty sure the postage alone from here to another country is going to be at least $15 AU. How bout an empty box theme this year?

Actually, I like the food theme, and it's generally fine to send food via the post, especially if you lie about what you're sending.

Absolutely! They are also totally fine with firearms, drugs, and explosives... as long as you lie about what you're sending.

Exactly. lol

Actually, in all honesty, there's no problem sending food international generally if it's commercially manufactured and seeled (sealed? I can't spell for shit lately).

I'd probably try and send something I've made myself though if the theme ends up being food.

I'd jump into this one. How do I join?

Aliantha · 10-27-2008, 06:19 PM

Merc, if you read the first post you'll know.

Alternatively, just PM your details to LabRat.

TheMercenary · 10-27-2008, 06:29 PM

Thanks will, things seemed a bit disjointed as I read through it, and there seemed to be some angst going on, but I could never really put my finger on it. I will PM Labster Rat.

btw, i get pangs of guilt every time i use the kangaroo testicle bottle opener you sent me. ...which is 6-8 times a night if I have bottles instead of cans....

Hey, that's pretty cool.

Question, because of where I live you would have a hard time guessing who I am. I wonder if I will have the same difficulty.

I think it's pretty easy for some particularly if you get one of us aussies or poms. There aren't that many of us and if you post regularly, you'd have a fair idea where we live.

For us on the other hand, it could be difficult.

I guess you don't live in Georgia like your profile says? Most people were cool with their gift-sender knowing which user they were, but it can be anonymous if you want. Personally, I think it's better to know who you're buying a gift for, because then you can get something appropriate to the person.

yea, I guess I don't care that much and yes I would like to personalize the gift a bit, but then would it be a secret santa. The sender should know, that is how I thought it should work, Santa knows who you are, the receiver does not know his/her Santa.

Duhhhhhhh, it's freaking Santa don't-cha-know! He knows EVERYTHING about you already. Sheeeeeeesh....
