How 'bout flesh eating ants in a pocket pussy?

There must be some kind of communal game the y-chromosomed ILXors could play with that, to impress the chix0rs.

like a russian roulette type thing?
blindfolded, you must choose a pocket pussy at random and "use" it.
If you get the flesh eating ants, you are...um...eliminated.

How about anyone who wants to do it emails me and I'll randomly assign people. Unless you wanted to do that, Gear? Keep in mind, if we do this you may have to mail something very far!

Nor any other post on this thing from the early a.m.

Gear, are you in? Ok, actually, I think this whole thread is going to end up just me and Gear pathetically trading presents.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 28 November 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm in!

I half-remember my posts from last night.

I mean buying things from @mazon, so they ship it for you! Or something.

You people are forever trying to turn ILX into Sinister. With added fake flesh pods. I.e. this has been done before BY TWEE-ER PEOPLE THA YOU'LL EVER BE.

What's a "secret Santa"?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 29 November 2004 10:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Worst idea ever.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 29 November 2004 11:13 (twenty-one years ago)

let's do ink polaroids.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 29 November 2004 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok, *second* worst idea ever.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 29 November 2004 11:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, a quick googling reveals what secret Santa means... But how would this work with a message board? Do we e-mail each other pics or something? I'm all for it anyway!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 29 November 2004 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i think someone organises it, whoever wants in contact the organising dude, and matches up people with others, and then let each person know who to send pressies to and that's it.

pics?

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 29 November 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, I got the idea now, we would send each other actual packages. Roxy, I've sent you mail about this.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 29 November 2004 12:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Got it!

Haha, calling Gear "twee" is pretty hilarious.

Skipping 252 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

Okay, if you really wanna do it next year, I'd be happy to turn the responsibility over to you. And maybe the year after that someone else can do it in her turn.

I sent my parcel last Saturday, so it might not make it on time either. If you're one of the people involved, and you haven't got your package from Santa by the 25th, don't despair, it's on its way.

― Tuomas, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 23:46 (eighteen years ago)

i am an asshole and have not had time to shop yet but i promise you will get a gift, even if it is a little late!

― tehresa, Thursday, 20 December 2007 00:53 (eighteen years ago)

Secret Santa craven, I couldn't wait and opened the box you sent when it arrived yesterday! SO MANY DELICIOUS COOKIES!!!! And a fabulous gigantic cookbook of Spanish recipes!!! Thank you so very much :)

― Jaq, Sunday, 23 December 2007 17:03 (eighteen years ago)

I'm in the same boat. Sadly, my person lives really far away so I'm afraid it'll take ages to get there. BOO! Please don't worry if you haven't received a gift. It may be from me and you'll get it eventually and then it'll be even better cause you'll be all sad cause christmas is over but then you'll get a special surprise!

― ENBB, Monday, 24 December 2007 12:14 (eighteen years ago)

^ these are the best kind!

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 24 December 2007 12:18 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah I love Crimmus spreading its big ass everywhere & getting gifts for days after. Maybe that's just me.

― Abbott, Monday, 24 December 2007 21:16 (eighteen years ago)

mine will be late too haha

ditto except maybe A LOT LATE

― sunny successor, Friday, 28 December 2007 17:44 (eighteen years ago)

I got mine today. Thanks a bunch Abbott, the book seems exactly like one I should like: the inner sleeve blurb made me giggle already. (Actually, the sticker in your package made me giggle too - is that some Japanese thing?) And I don't have anything special to read at the moment, so I'll probably start it tomorrow.

― Tuomas, Friday, 28 December 2007 17:49 (eighteen years ago)

I got the picture in mail this week, thanks a bunch Abbott! It's so weird and groovy, I love it.

― Tuomas, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:46 (eighteen years ago)

Glad you dug it all Tuomas! I'm always trying to spread the Pinkwater love.

― Abbott, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:49 (eighteen years ago)

I dug mine a lot, too, mystery person...this ginger tea is srsly the most delicious shit I ever done drank and it is guiding me gently through a feverish hell.

― Abbott, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:50 (eighteen years ago)

All the other stuff, too is A+

― Abbott, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

Jaq, I'm so happy you liked the cookies and the cookbook. It was fun doing secret reconnaissance on you for this secret santa thing! Yikes, that sounded extremely stalker-ish. It wasn't. At least, not at first!

― craven, Monday, 7 January 2008 23:18 (eighteen years ago)

i think my secret santa is turning into more like secret easter bunny

― Rubyredd, Monday, 7 January 2008 23:46 (eighteen years ago)

craven, I've been poring over the recipes! And I'm ashamed to tell you how quickly the cookies went :) Those sesame ones were amazing!

Also, too funny that you are just up north - ring the bell if you are down being all stalkerish on 1st Ave :) When I get my act together for a spanish dinner party, you are first on the guest list!

― Jaq, Tuesday, 8 January 2008 03:12 (eighteen years ago)

RR - me too!

― ENBB, Tuesday, 8 January 2008 03:19 (eighteen years ago)

Based on what people have said on this thread both of you should be getting your gifts, so don't worry.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 8 January 2008 07:33 (eighteen years ago)

I hope mine made it through, it should've been there ages ago.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 8 January 2008 07:34 (eighteen years ago)

one month passes...

i wonder if gr8080 got his gift.

― t0dd swiss, Monday, 18 February 2008 05:48 (eighteen years ago)

i still don't have mine ;_;

― Rubyredd, Monday, 18 February 2008 05:50 (eighteen years ago)

HOLY SHIT i just realize that my person's gift is still sitting on my desk and not in the mail and i am the most giantest asshole ever :( :( post office closed tomorrow for the dead presidents but i will try to mail asap!

― tehresa, Monday, 18 February 2008 05:54 (eighteen years ago)
