GRM New Year Game 2019 (a 6-time repeat offender!)

Got my erm....giftee? Suppose I should load the box. 

Please.  They prefer to be called "Unsuspecting Americans".

Mine won't go out until after Christmas

Stupid question: what is the usual flat rate box everyone uses. There is large, medium, or small.

I think large or medium tends to be the norm.

Dont worry too much about it, there aren't really any rules to this game.  More like suggestions.  Just like everything else around this time of year, it's more the thought that counts

Got my victim, all those free samples I requested from Adam & Eve are finally out of here!

Target also acquired. Now, to see what's out in the garage!

Yup, target acquired. Just picked a pile of random stuff from the garage/home office that I've been hoarding for a few decades.

Mine is somebody that I have raced against at my localish events sometimes.  Not sure if that is good or bad for him......

And its gone. Should be to the unsuspecting victim before Christmas. The clerk commented on how heavy it was.

Based on the usual stalking, do we have multiple participants from a single family, by chance?

Alrighty everyone!

As I'm sure you've seen by now ALL the names have gone out.  If you did not receive your victim's details, please let me know so I can have the appropriate nervous meltdown.

A few quick side notes:

It started last year, and we had a couple instances this year where a couple people got a duplicate victim (that is, they had the same person this year and the last).  In both games, the recipients were quick enough to call my attention to it that I was able to get it fixed.  If you happen to get a duplicate victim, please let me know as soon as possible and I'll see if we cant get you swapped out with someone you haven't gifted to yet.

Also, if you're a late arrival and wanted to get in on the action it really isn't too late.  Every year we get two or three people that missed the signup cutoff, and it's no problem at all getting you guys in on the action.  If this is you, send me an e-mail and I'll get you on the standby list.

Cheers everyone, and let the games begin!

(I've always wanted to say that)

Target Acquired. Shipping rates balked at. Will be outbound tomorrow or Monday, and should be at its destination by New Years.

Same here/ for people who don;t match their real name up to the screen name, the on the road assist thread is... VERY helpful in identifying people. 

Loading the box up with party supplies!

Cyberstalking successful, I have texted the person before but never met.  I'm aiming for their box to be complete and shipped next week.  Slightly incapacitated right now 

Didn't take long to figure out who I got. Now to fill the box over the weekend. 

Target is acquired. Perhaps it will go out tomorrow, certainly by Monday. 

I'm so excited I even tried to clean the smell out of that...      ...did I say that out loud?    <runs from thread>

Successful stalking initiated. Now to do work on my signature- since we know what I do by now.

Indeed.

Locked and loaded, will go out tomorrow!  LBC calendar used to protect the victim and perpetrator lol.

Recipient info received here.  I'll start filling the box tomorrow.

Currently wrapped and rated for small arms fire, I'm hoping to get it to withstand most shoulder fired rocketry as well.

Goes out Monday.  Going to put my screen name on the return address so you know who it came from; hope the post office doesn't mind.

Target acquired, I'll be in my shop space this weekend cleaning... Hopefully get it sent out just after Christmas to go on its journey!

The hell there aren't. I got my box of the year award taken away from me two years ago (in my rookie season no less) because I apparently can't read and didn't use a flat rate box.

I'm pretty sure you won box of the year last round
