    I got a completely bewildering thing in the mail today, and I cannot be sure that it is related to secret santa.

    This is either a part of a gift that arrived first, a complete warehouse screw-up, or a weird practical joke that I don't get. Is this IC sekrit santa related halp?

    They are a 25 sheet package of Avery 8164 3 1/3" x 4" shipping labels?

    It came from Amazon.com.

    The threads should be merged into one... they are even in different forums!

    aaaand here's part 2 of your present :)

    I *had* to do something homemade. Note that the template matches the Avery # you received.

    Posting the editable template here so the community can make labels for the IcrontiBeer as well.

    edit: oh damn the font I used is unique to Office 2007, apparently. Well, hopefully you have a cool one. I used a 'Studio 76' 70's style one for the 'IcrontiBeer' header.

    Oh, and you're going to need to find someone who can do something with http://icrontic.com/beer for you. I'm sure you'll figure something out. :)

    And I'm sure Magic would be glad to help if you decide to venture even further into beer-brewing ;)

    I received a Card earlier today from my Secret Santa. Then later I got a box from him. I will open and detail when I get home today.

    I also packaged up and shipped my gift off today. According to the tracking it should arrive on the 23rd.

    I finally got back online today. I got the second half of my gifts yesterday which included a container of delicious cookies (gluten free of course) and a sweet Oregon Trail T-Shirt where I die of Dysentery (doesn't everyone?)

    My sekrit santa was awesome enough to also gift me Fallout 3 while I was still hooked up to high speed internet at school so I could download it and enjoy it over the break. I'll probably go back to playing it after I kick my little brother off of Crysis Warhead :rolleyes:

    I'm about 95% sure I should thank the ever amazing and awesome Shwaip for the gifts and "supplieses". Thanks a lot! The cookies held up well, very few become crumbified during the journey. :)

    Yup, it was me. Never made gluten free cookies before, I thought they tasted just about the same as those with gluten :)

    (also stupid FO3 went on sale the day after I bought it for you :P)

    Ryder sent my a trio of festively papered items. For a moment, I considered sticking them under the tree, and opening them on Christmas eve, since it's so close, but then I forgot, and tore them open. :)

    Inside, I found items which I have been wanting/needing for some time.

    I received a new vise grip which is also not a vise grip; a wallet card multi-tool, which I need now that I don't wear cargo pants to work anymore, and thusly have no place to put a normal multi-tool; and a Donkey Kong themed Jenga set, in which players compete to get their Mario up to the top of a girdered tower.

    Thanks, Ryder!

    :cool2:

    Donkey Kong Jenga. Well if that isn't a bucket of awesome, I don't know what is.

    Mine arrived today also.

    I received a nice handwritten note from a young lady named Laura, something about boobs, cops, and donuts.

    In the picture are some "Ghost Chile" salted caramel from Theo chocolate in Seattle, 3 gift cards to Sweetwaters donuts and the Pièce de résistance: A CD with Laura singing Auld Lang Syne and a video of her telling "'Twas the night before Christmas" with me as the main character.

    Thank you Marushka! <3
