Secret Santa 2014

[DrumsAndBeer]

Once upon a time, Natch offered to send me a "few" samples when I mentioned I'd developed a growing interest in VAs and VaPers. I thought, "great!  Can't wait to try three or four new blends!"

The box showed up and I needed a snow shovel to dig through all the baggies.  

Stand up guy, that Natch.

Ha ha ha, He sent me a "few samples" a couple years ago, and I think I just finished smoking them. :drunken:

Ok.  A true "numbers in the hat" random match up.  I had two that got themselves and I switched them.  In the past I also checked prior years SS and made sure that they had not had each other for several years.  I did not do that this year.  New computer and I cannot find the old files on the right flash drive.  It is possible someone might have the same person as they had in the past couple years.  

I will start sending PM's in a few minutes.  :santa:

:cheers:

And thanks again for organizing this (and taking all our teasing and whining) :santa:

I'm glad I won't be given myself -- I'd have to send the fruit cake, Mixture 79, and Paladin to myself and pretend to like them!

 

[puros_bran]

If I got myself it would be the most generous package I'd ever sent out.





Back when I did it I'd always end up with several guys getting themselves..... Or worse I'd send out the names only to realize two guys got each other.

 

[DrT999]

My portion of Santa's List has arrived!
:cheers: :santa: :rendeer:

research starting! I'll give the fruit cake to the department secre, err, administrative assistant

 

[user 2031]

Alrighty then! I have a name... the hunt begins!

 

[Carlos]

Half way though the list and my Outbox has not filled up yet. You guys keep reading them and stay ahead of me and it will work out fine.


If I screw something up, it happens, let me know ASAP and I will fix it.

:santa:

 

[Mozjo33]

Got my victim...I mean, my recipient!

As stated several times over, thanks again for doing this Carlos! Excellent job as always!

 

[Kyle Weiss]

[scotties22]

WooHooo.......this is gonna be good!! Research commencing. I'm gonna need a BIG box for this poor guy :santa:

 

[puros_bran]

I got a guy. I'm rather disappointed.. He's been pretty bad so alas all I can send is coal.

Great Rudolph's Ghost, I got one whopper of a prime target deserving fellow! Was going to post something from one of my favorite Christmas movies, Bad Santa, but realized all the clips were highly inappropriate, so here's Louis instead:

Well, hopefully he has a fireplace! Send along some tongs, so he can light a pipe with a live coal a la Jeremy Brett in one of the Holmes videos


ps: I don't have a fireplace :rendeer:

 

[fsu92john]

Got my assignment and can't wait! :santa:

Thanks again, Carlos, for all the work you've been doing again on the Secret Santa this year.

Off to the cellar to make a selection!
