SWEET!!!!


I ran out and found it propped up by the garage........

I didn't even make it in the house before ripping it open

Pics will have to wait til this evening, back to work.

Thanks Nick, pure win on so many levels!!!!!!




But......

....sawdust and flannel jammies......you are a sadist.

Did those bags open?? Dammit, sorry 'bout that! Hope you like the other things in those bags of sawdust!

HOLY DAMMIT ALL TO HELL.........

I JUST ABOUT SHITMYSELF!!!!!!



My dog ran for cover and I squealed like a school girl......

I thought they were regular pop-its, not fuseless f***ing grenades!!!!

I LOVE EM!!!!!

That was the exact reaction I had when I first used one. I tend to keep a few boxes at the house all year round, just to scare someone every now and then.

Ah must have just missed it. I won't be home till Xmas night. Hopefully no low life takes it.

Well, I couldn't stand it (the waiting that is) so I opened the box tonight

Mine was from Duke ... the Tiger picture on the back of the box sort of gave that away

As you'd expect an eclectic mix of military and civilian goodies, including:

- wireless Puck light
- black hat
- Humble Bumble Christmas ornament
- Japanese WWII heavy cruiser model
- Testosterone Booster capsules (my wife thanks you )
- Outdoor Edge knife
- 2 Cyalume light-sticks
- Army Sniper Training manual
- Task Force Hawk - Albania 1999 medallion
- Military Merit medal
- Rigger's belt
- Pro-Nutria weight loss tablets
- Craftsman Compact Multi-meter Kit
- 2010 No Limit Battle of the Builds playing cards
- Best of 2010 Scion Racing DVD
- Hot Wheels TR-6 model
- Compressed Fuel - Trioxane ration
- 9mm clip (empty)
- scion storage bag

Some very cool stuff... thanks Duke!! My grandson and I will build the model, my wife will give me the 'booster" capsules, some great tools for the barn or car trailer, some good stocking stuffers, a new bangle for the Christmas tree, and, if I get stranded on the way to Vintage or O'Fest next year, I'll be good for a couple days with the blade, extra clip, light sticks, fuel, and sniper instructions!

fuuuuuuuuuu

Got my box from Tyler tonight. Will report tomorrow.

So, I assume we've abandoned the waiting until Christmas part?

Puh-leez. I've heard how that works out for you. Oh wait, it didn't.
How about you start with last year's gifts??

wkohler wrote:So, I assume we've abandoned the waiting until Christmas part?

Some petulant children (like me ) just couldn't wait... plus I wasn't going to be home for Christmas, as I'll be traveling to my son's... so, timely reporting of my goodies would have been difficult

Just trying to rationalize my "urge to unwrap early" syndrome

We were supposed to wait until Christmas? Someone should have said something.

So, you are on your way to become a "prepper" now.

Want to give a big thanks to ahab, aka: Aaron Manderbach, for all the great stuff! Thank you davintosh for organizing the exchange!
Here is the great stuff I got,

Will post pics later

Thanks Ray!

So, where's Eyeore? Probably busy with a little of this -- -- and a little of this -- -- and a little .

That's about right. We left town around noon with two sick kiddies just barfing away in the backseat. Went to empty a barf-bucket later while getting gas and the barf drained out like cold 50w motor oil leaving a thick string blowing in the wind, as long as I am tall. I was miserable and there were people watching. No sign of Kenny, yet, so I've got that going for me.
Santa placed my box in warm, snuggly garage full of 80's BMWs so it is ready for me upon arrival later this week, so long as nothing detonates. Full report to follow!

Dang; sorry about that. It should be fine, provided it didn't get rattled/shaken too much on its way there. Merry Christmas!

Those of us with sufficient maturity and self-control are waiting. As for the rest... Well, you know the crowd.

Here's my haul from tyler.

A belt (that miraculously fits!)
Duck tape
Funny looking magnets
Horseshoe
Oil analysis sample kit (cool!)
Clean shop rags
Dirty bandcamp beanie
Baked beans
Assorted fun size chocolates
Jumprope
Coated lockup wire
Pink martini/margarita glass
Couple bags minute popcorn

And if course, well wishes from tyler. Thanks, bro. Hope you are doing well!

Glad you enjoyed the box, Adam. Hold the magnets in your hand separated, but close to each other and throw them in the air. I forget what they're called.

I think they are called "ow, my finger".

I've seen them called "rattlesnake eggs", but I remember the eggs being something different.

The "rattlesnake eggs" I remember as a kid was the rubberband and button in the envelope trick.

Didn't you have all the porn? Imagine the rube goldberg machine we could build!

We need to start going to the same parties...

Working until noon today, I hope USPS has a box waiting for me on my porch when I get home!

I hope so too. Sent that bugger out on the morning of the 17th.

Oh. Im working til noon as well. Yay. NOT.

I'm not working today, but I'll have to trek out there at some point because I had my box delivered there and forgot to bring it home. Good excuse to get out of the house for a bit to get that one last present.
