'War Stories'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
Yes, well, when I started filling things out, it looked like maybe the email address wouldn't show.
Since the whole anonymity thing is gone, let me add that you should watch for more to come, although I'm not sure if it will get there before the 25th.
eta the most important part, which is, I'm so glad you liked it! I wasn't sure, but I hoped it would be a good choice.
No worries! I am so very happy, it definitely made my day today. And I'm going to get a stuffed animal, which is AWESOME.
Ahh, the Circle of Presents. Seekrit Santas are awesome!
t makes out with everyone
Little did I know you had a love of regional delicacies!
I do! I do!
Teppy has introduced me to other Ohio wonders. When I go South I seek out sweet tea and grits. In Utah I had fry sauce. In Portland I had salmon that made me weep. In Las Vegas someone offered me a hooker but I was too full.
I braved the post office today to send out gifties to my sekrit santee. I went at about 9:45am and there was only 6 people in line. Woot! Not bad for less than a week until Christmas.
In Utah I had fry sauce
We have fry sauce in the supermarkets. I can't guarantee how well it would survive shipping, but if you ever have a yen for some, I could help provide.
I will admit, fry sauce is not among the things I have subsequently craved.
Though if anyone in Indiana wants to ship me a Posey County melon...
I will admit, fry sauce is not among the things I have subsequently craved.
I will endeavour to keep the fry sauce jihadists at bay.
Can I please give the biggest of thank yous to my secret santa? Oh my god, guys, this was the best surprise ever. I had forgotten that I actually got a present in the exchange, due to, um, insanity. So when I got this package I was all, huh, what's this? And it turns out I got a box of AWESOME.
My secret santa? Totally did their research. Not only did I get puffed corn (which I had been missing something fierce!) but I got GRITS. You have NO IDEA how much I've missed grits, and there they were, in their happy little quaker oats box, all for me! But that's not all! I also got the most gorgeous-smelling ginger rolly perfume thing that smells wonderful, and a Pirates of the Caribbean calendar, and a Doctor Who storybook (!! omg so awesome) AND A BATMAN FIGURINE. So. cool.
So thank you, secret santa, for making me the happiest american in Ireland. I appreciate it so much more than you can possibly know, to have these reminders of home while I'm away, as well as my favorite fandomy things. You are the best. Thank you.
In Utah I had fry sauce
I had fry sauce for the first time ever on my trip to Oregon. My friend there told me it was an invention of a local restaurant. I don't know whether to disillusion her or not.
It turns out, I have been making fry sauce myself after a coworker at Dairy Queen taught it to me, but I just never knew it was anything formal enough to have a name. Actually, I like my mixture of ketchup and mayo better than official fry sauce, even if folks usually look at it and go ewww.
I had forgotten that I actually got a present in the exchange, due to, um, insanity.
Ha! The same thing happened to me for our office Secret Santa. Your Secret Santa looks to be awesome! Good for him/her!
