snolly50 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 All this stuff about naughty and nice is just a myth (although snolly did get sticks and pine cones in his stocking one year). The proof - snolly received a package this PM that he believes is from a Secret Santa. So, if snolly can get a gift, even the ultra-naughty are eligible! That is, unless the shipping box contains sticks and pine cones?!?!? 2 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Mmm, ashes and orange peel in a bowl with a bit of fermented Yak milk and a drizzle of pine pitch just sounds so delicious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Just waiting on the last package going to Monica for the international players and still haven't heard from... @Misha @kirkjeremiah23 @thelivingdead531 @Macrophyseter @fishguy @PaleoNoel For the domestic shippers, whether you have gotten your Santa package as of yet.

Macrophyseter Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 @caldigger Unfortunately, schoolwork has gotten in my way and I have not gotten the opportunity to ship my package out yet. I'm aiming to get it shipped out this week! If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

snolly50 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The burning question on each Forum denizen's mind - "Did snolly possess the strength of character, the abject maturity, the worldly sophistication, to avoid opening his Secret Santa gift before Christmas?" Hmmmm...well...strong packing box with a securely taped opening...the snollywife not present to administer baleful glare...impulse control of a toddler...suffice to say... "One, two!

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Yes. Anyway, I think it's more rebellious and unusual to actually be on the Good List. The naughty list seems rather de rigueur and mundane. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
