Post your 2008 Sekkrit Santa gift

[jared]

Well, seems like I am the first one to receive my gift. Lucky me! :D

So, here it is.

Papa Prime sent me a swank coffee grinder. :)

Anyone who follows me via Twitter knows that I consume rather copious amounts of coffee every day. I cut back since I've been sick, but I am slowly making it back up to my previous pot-a-day quota.

Now I can soon enjoy some of the better blends of java! :vimp:

Thanks prime, you're the man!

Now everyone post your gifts in here as you get them!

cheers and Merry Christmas :jared:

[primesuspect]

Woot!

[UPSLynx]

that's awesome!

my sekrit santa gift is in town, but Fedex keeps stopping by while I'm at work and want a signature. So they're holding it and I have to pick it up tomorrow. Dangit.

[UPSLynx]

Got it!

Snarky sent me an EXCELLENT bottle of Gin imported from France. Made my day!

Some product shots. Jerry has a new friend. Sure he's French and has a thick accent, but he sure knows how to party:
26489 26490


This stuff is delicious. Well done man, well done.

[Snarkasm]

Yay! Infused with 19 different botanicals. With a number like 19, it's gotta be good.

I was gonna get you a 20" Wacom tablet, but y'know, with the price suggestion what it was...

[UPSLynx]

What, the Cintiq's? Awww... those are well within IC Sekrit Santa gift price range right? ...right?
26493

Ok... maybe not.

[TiberiusLazarus]

Gnomewizard sent me an awesome Coolink gfx card cooler. Now I really want a new gfx card to put this thing to work on. Hmmm :/.

MOPED ARMY!

Thanks fatcat! Merry Christmas! A wonderful gift. I'd been meaning to pick up that book for quite some time.

[fatcat]

thats only half the gifts pete...

h8 amazon right now

[Buddy J]

I'm still a very VERY happy camper! <3

[tmh88]

Sorry guys, I've been pretty lazy and haven't been around here as much as I normally am.

lolcat magnets, how have I not seen these before? I can tell I'm definitely going to have some fun with these. I didn't want to break them apart until I get back to my house, because I know I'm going to lose some. I had to throw a little sentence together for the picture though

Also, I received this freezable shot glass mold. I have an ice shot glass sitting in the lower right corner of the picture and the mold in the top. These things are amazing, I've already made at least 20 of them and had a good time.

Thanks Buddy J. I can tell the shot glasses are going to get a lot of use, and well, obviously the magnets are going to provide entertainment after using the shot glasses. I'm currently freezing fruit punch.

[RyderOCZ]

TMH.. Who sent them to you? ;)

[tmh88]

Wow, sorry I'm out of it. It was from Buddy J. Thanks for the awesomeness!

[primesuspect]

lol! I SEEN YOU WIT SAUSAGE GIRL NEKKID ;D

Those are great!

[Buddy J]

Merry Christmas man! If you come to IC Lan/ExPO, you've gotta bring the shot glass maker.

[tmh88]

These things are amazing. I made some for my friends and just stuck them in a ziplock bag and just stored them in my freezer. Unlimited shot glasses for life. I am truly in love with it.

[GnomeWizardd]

i am still awaiting mine

[UPSLynx]

Shot glasses you can EAT? EPIC.

[shwaip]

i am still awaiting mine

[tmh88]

Kenkel is so hot right now. Kenkel.

(PS. fatcat Amazon didn't leave anything at my house today)

[fatcat]

thats because Amazon shows it still in Cali from the 14th. What bitches.

[jared]

I think Kenkel has the best hand writing I have ever seen for a guy lol

[NiGHTS]

I get that a lot - that was messy by my standards, too.

I'm glad you like the gift fatcat! I've been anxious for like the past week wondering if it was going to be good or not, heh.

PS - To whomever my Santa was, I won't be able to post pictures until I return to SD on the 27th. I'm home with the family for the holidays. :)

[Winfrey]

FatCat, Jared, T_T, Q, CB, Shwaip.. apparently we need to do more golfing at Lan.

Thanks Winfrey !!! :D

My pleasure Ryder! I was planning on personalizing them but they were gonna ship on Jan. 7th if I did:hair:

Glad you like them, I really had no idea what to get you until a quick brainstorming session with Prime, when I remembered you guys golfed last Lan.

I also received my gift today though I do not know from who... Thanks whoever for the Amazon Card! That'll help pay for some books!

[Kwitko]

'Twas I. I'm sorry, I was racking my brain trying to figure out what to get you. I wanted to do something a little more personal, but if it helps you, awesome!

[Winfrey]

Thank you Kwitco!

[Kwitko]

Mine just showed up. All I can say is
HUGE<<asd>3
</asd>to Jared for being so awesome. I LOL'd when I saw what he sent. Pics when I get home.

he trashed it right after he made it. So as of now Prime has the
only one. :rockon:

So I was finally able to pick my gift up! ^5 drasnor for an awesome gift, I never would have even thought of something like this, which makes it that much cooler.

http://icrontic.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=30&pictureid=151

http://icrontic.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=30&pictureid=152

It's currently fitted with skates that you can pop on/off for wintery conditions. How awesome is this thing? The manual is very in depth when it comes to proper use with regard to conditions and angles. Really neat stuff, and it's got drasnor written all over it.

Now all I need is batteries for the remote, which I'll pick up later today.

Thanks again dras! :rockon:

[Gate28]

http://icrontic.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=30&pictureid=151


Looks like both you and GQ both got similar shaped things. :eek:

[MiracleManS]

I swear I'll go pick up my gift at some point TMH...when I'm not gallivanting around the country.

[mas0n]

I haven't taken any pictures to post yet because I'm a lazy sonuvabitch, but StainMeNow sent me some excellent cookies (w/ recipe) and a shirt that is totally my style.

Thanks Anne!

[MiracleManS]

I finally got my gift after having missed the chance to get it delivered to begin with.

THANKS SO MUCH TMH! I love the binary clock and frozen shot glass maker

[shwaip]

I know that snark and CB haven't gotten their gifts yet - has everyone else gotten theirs?

[DogDragon]

I know that snark and CB haven't gotten their gifts yet - has everyone else gotten theirs?

And heartbreak. I almost quit right here. :(

But I pressed on... and found cookie butts!

Wait, maybe he meant something else. Hmmm....

OH GOD NO WHAT

Just because you almost died doesn't mean you can make ME almost die.

Freakin' sweet, dude. You did know I had a man-crush on you already, right?

<3 Merry Christmas! Feel bettarz, mmk?

[primesuspect]

WHATADICK

[NiGHTS]

Thaaaats hilarious.

[jared]

holy shit. no one can top that. ever.

[pragtastic]

That is Fantastic

[shwaip]

You can add me to the snark and CB list

CB - Your gift is on the way. Item stock issues and all.
DogDragon - I've PMed your santa, I'll let you know when I hear back.

[shwaip]

Also, for anyone who doesn't know Dr. Horrible's sing along blog was written by Joss Whedon (Firefly/Serenity, Buffy, Angel) and is really funny. It's actually on hulu if anyone wants to watch it - I highly recommend it.

[Annes]

I'm a pathetic slacker and have no pictures, but I did get my gift! It was from my dear friend MiracleMan. I'm fairly certain he didn't spit in it, since it came directly from Amazon. As much as I love the spit of IC guys, I think this gift was better:

The Zen of Zombie by Scott Kenemore. "Reanimate yourself for success with advice on life, love, and work from the undead!"

The Undead and Philosophy Edited by Richard Greene. "Chicken Soupe for the Soulless."

I'm pretty excited to read both of these. Thanks, Dustin!

[wahay]

What, the Cintiq's? Awww... those are well within IC Sekrit Santa gift price range right? ...right?
26493

Ok... maybe not.
This is the FIRST thing I thought of when I was going to put in a snide gift request, of course.

[drasnor]

Man, I totally forgot to post my Secret Santa gift from last year. I got a swank Icrontic mousepad that got some table time at EPIC and an Icrontic hip flask. I still haven't figured out what I'm going to put in that flask; my alcohol tolerance is nil.
