Why no GRM secret santa?

got it

Mwahhahha. Something is going to someone! It's a poorly-kept secret!

So does the person I have have me or is it random?

Traditionally, these are random and you're never mutually exchanging anything. I have no idea for this one!

My gift is ready to go, just gotta go get a flat rate box.

I tried to make it as random as possible so no one is "paired up". You'll give a gift to someone, that person sends a gift to someone else, and so on and such.

On another note: It looks like everyone who is going to sign up already has, so the last batch of names will be sent out tomorrow AM. If you wanted to sign up but haven't you'll have until then to get your name on the list. Yahoo users will have to grab my e-mail from this thread (IM doesn't work with yahoo for some reason) and I need to hurry up and knock the grease off the thing I'm sending out.

There was a question of disclosure: Will we ever tell who we gave gifts to?

Disclosure is completely voluntary. But if you send out LeBaron parts we'll probably know who you are

Good times

I never received an email with an address. Did you ever receive an email with my information?

-Ross Diederich

Sure did Got you on the list.

Alrighty, I just sent out the last of the names on the list. If you didn't get an address please don't hesitate to contact me. That being said:

• There were a few people I didn't get screen names for. No need to send the info, I just wanted to put this on here for the people who were sending gifts.

• We only had one representative from Canada sign up. I didn't want to lump you in with us US folk (due to the high shipping costs) without your permission (you got mail). If there was another friendly neighbor to the north who was on the fence let me know and I'll pair the two of you up.

• wvumtnbkr: I never did get the e-mail you sent. If you still want in there is the possibility of being paired up with a straggler. Send me a note at willgrow3 at gmail dot com.

• If there are any stragglers who still wanted it, it's not too late. I can put you in a holding pattern until we get a couple names. It being as late as it is in the game I can't promise a partner, but I'll give 'er my best.

• I call BS on Santa only checking his list twice. I've probably printed and checked this list like 20 times

When the first gift arrives at the first person's door I think we should start a new thread for the pictures, this one is kind of cluttered already.

Cheers! (or perhaps "Brace for collision" would be a more appropriate expression)

And the package is away...

In reply to Hungary Bill:

Thank you for doing this. We really do have the best community, and can take no credit for that. It's all people like you doing stuff like this. Merry Christmas, Santa! :)

Ho Ho Ho!.... someone is getting a present from Santa.

Box picked up today, I'll try to get it out tomorrow. It should be interesting.

And packed full of useful crap, I have no use for.

Hopefully re-gifting is acceptable next year.

That was actually fun.

Thanks again Hungary Bill.

I should have stayed in this thread, if its not too late count me in.

You know, I just realized that pipe wrenches are the perfect size for a flat rate box. Next time we do this, I should see how many I can fit in one and videotape the reaction from USPS.

In reply to aussiesmg:

You got mail.

I'm dyin nere. I just found out a certain something JUST fits in a flat rate box, and I can't wait to see it unwrapped (get yo minds out tha guttter )

Happy Hollidays ya'll

I stuffed a SBF flywheel in one once. It was a full-on iron and steel flywheel. Probably 35 lbs.

You know taking a flywheel and combining it with one of these

would make an ausom "gift"

Shipped mine off today, I forgot to include my screen name in it but check the roadside assistance map and I'm on there.

Thanks again Bill for putting the legwork in on this

Dammit, I should have actually checked this thread, because I would have participated. Oh well there's next year.

Mine is going out on Friday or Saturday morning.

Same here. I finalized it today though.

Yes, you guys did well. Thanks for being so cool.
