I think I have the first gift received.

I am now the proud owner of a long sleeve Cincinnati Bengals t-shirt!

Thanks to whomever. I'll wear it this Sunday whe nwe stomp the Browns.

I think I have the second. There's a business on the return address that I don't recognize. Strange coincidence that it's a business close to where my parents live in California.

Whomever my Secret FOFC Santa is, he/she/Suicane must have been reading about my struggles with the size of my ass. I received an iPod armband case off my Amazon wishlist. I will use and abuse this puppy at the gym every day.

Thank you so much!

So I saw, without meaning to look, who my gift was from based on the return address. I appreciate the humorous book Mr. Secret Santa.

WOOT! A Pats flask! Now I can drink in style! Although I gotta think the odds are prolly 50/50 between whether it will be full of liquor or coffee at any given point! It's definately shiny and pretty though!

Thanks Mr. Secret Santa

(and damnit i need to get mine shipped tomorrow!)

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn

12-12-2005, 04:53 PM

TWO presents!! It was a happy Monday! My not-secret-anymore santa sent me this book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0895260883/qid=1134427271/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-1481448-8364034?n=507846&s=books&v=glance) off my wishlist. I've been wanting to read it since Cam interviewed Babbin back in April. I'm going to start it this evening.

Thank you so much!!

Barkeep49

12-12-2005, 05:22 PM

Well a further thanks is due to my secret santa as not one but TWO more amazon packages arrived today. I will be enjoying the Fact or Crap daily calendar as well as yet another humorous teaching book.

Thanks!

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn

12-12-2005, 08:41 PM

Farrah: Hope used was okay. I wanted to get you something besides the Ipod cover and I couldn't afford the book at full price. It wanted to get the Diamond book, but I couldn't find it cheap. Happy reading and I'm sure we can set some time up later to argue about it.

Merry Christmas!If this book is used, I need to know where you shop.http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/images/smilies/smile.gif It's in great shape. The spine made that crackling sound new books make when I opened it. It's perfect, thank you so much.

As far as arguing about it - not sure I'm going to agree with everything Babbin has to say, but I do so love to argue :D

Oh man, don't tease me. I want a Fat Tire sooo bad. They need to export that stuff out of Colorado. I'm stuck drinking a New Knoxville Pale Ale!

Airhog

12-13-2005, 07:58 PM

Just wanted to let my secret santa know, that I picked out my gift certificates. I went with a 25$ one Barnes and Noble, and a 25$ one to dominos pizza. My favorite chain store, but I rarely can afford to eat out anymore. Thanks!

My gift arrived today - a very nice Philadelphia Eagles tie :) Despite their down season, I can't wait to wear it to work and field all of the questions from those who don't know my primary sports allegiance (which is only a minority of my co-workers.)

I'm not sure who sent it. Thanks Secret Santa.

My gift arrived today - a very cool battery operated mini manicure kit I can carry in my purse...it would have come in very handy today because I broke a nail! I even has different attachments for buffing and filing :)

Thank you Santa Claus!!!!Suuuuuuuuuure it's a manicure kit. Is that what they're calling it these days? http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Well, the filing heads might make it a little painful...

And I don't think it's from Jeeber, I have the name of the person, though I don't know who he is on here, but he is from IL...as far as I know Jeeber is in TX.

Oooh, ooh! The FedEx man just dropped off a package for me! I'm trying to resist looking at the mailing lable too closely and I'll open it in a moment! :)

JeeberD

12-15-2005, 03:20 PM

Dola-

And Santa got me a very nice Adidas UTEP hooded sweatshirt. This will come in very handy since the little lady has pretty much decided that my old UTEP sweatshirt is now hers and I'm not allowed to wear it anymore.

Thank you Santa! :)

Man, I'm kind of beginning to wish I had gotten in on this. From what's been given so far, it sounds like I may have gotten something I would possibly like. There's always next year :)

Passacaglia

12-19-2005, 05:29 PM

Got in last night after being out of town for a week, and found my gift waiting for me. The gift-giver had asked for my shirt size (through GWB) so I was expecting a shirt of some kind, but instead it was a U of M blanket. Very crafty, gift-giver!

Flasch186

Im a little spooked....we had a UPS semi catch fire this morning in Salt Lake, everything was a complete loss, hope my gift wasn't in there.

So how many people are still waiting on gifts? When do we get to find out who our Secret Santa was?

By my spreadsheet it looks like 5 people are waiting for gifts still - Mizzourah, Suicane, myself, daddytorgo, and thelionking. Maybe suicane got something, but he can't post here anymore. And I'll post the master list on christmas or when everyone gets something.

Are you going to post who had who, or are we supposed to try and figure it out on our own and guess? I know a couple people it isn't, but I have no idea who it is! (Wow, that made a lot of sense!)

Joe

12-21-2005, 08:16 PM

you can guess, question, accuse, accost, interrogate, or whatever you want to do. I will post it eventually.

Are you telling the truth?

Thats for me to know and for you to figure out!

I feel like I'm in a Werewolf thread all of a sudden... :D

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 08:27 PM

I just found out from my secret source that your real name is Jeremy...and my card was from Lane. I don't think it's you. I could be wrong, but I don't think so...and I was right about the Carver on Nip/Tuck so I must have a talent for figuring these things out :)

JeeberD

12-21-2005, 08:32 PM

Damn you Radii! Why you gotta spoil all my fun!

Doesn't seem like a Lane kind of guy.

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 10:00 PM

Doesn't seem like a Lane kind of guy.

I agree...I am guessing Timmae

Official guess in the revealed thread

sovereignstar

12-21-2005, 10:05 PM

Wait, I take that back. I think timmae's name is Tim. shi..

Barkeep49 - I think he's in Texas, but I'm not certain...
indoorsoccersim - Utah
TheLionKing - Ohio
TroyF - Colorado
RPI-Fan - Somewhere in New England
Farrah Whitworth-Rahn - Arizona
Airhog - Oklahoma
JeeberD - Texas
Timmae - Chicago
Suicane - Jersey?

So where the heck am I off?

sovereignstar

Suicane is actually from Uranus.

Joe

12-21-2005, 10:18 PM

I see some errors

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 10:18 PM

Wait, I take that back. I think timmae's name is Tim. shi..

Maybe Tim is a middle name, or Lane is the middle name and he used it b/c Tim would be kind of obvious?

sovereignstar

12-21-2005, 10:20 PM

Maybe Tim is a middle name, or Lane is the middle name and he used it b/c Tim would be kind of obvious?

Possible. I know timmae's last name though. Do YOU?

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 10:21 PM

Is it Young?

Joe

12-21-2005, 10:21 PM

his last name is Mae

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 10:24 PM

his last name is Mae

dork

ps - I mean that in the nicest possible way!

sovereignstar

It's not Mae or Young.

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 10:30 PM

OK - I have insider information that confirms that my SS was NOT Passacaglia...so who else is in the Chicago area, Highland Park to be exact????

JeeberD

12-21-2005, 10:33 PM

Ooooh...I know now. Amazing what you can find with a simple search. ;)

sovereignstar

12-21-2005, 10:34 PM

Well that was easy.

timmae

12-21-2005, 10:40 PM

well... I bought 2 gifts for my SS... 1 may arrive before the big date but the other was supposed to ship already (like last week...) and still hasn't. I guess that means a 3rd gift to make up for it...

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 10:40 PM

See, now you guys are just being mean!

Can you give me the first letter of what you searched for?

JeeberD

12-21-2005, 10:41 PM

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 10:42 PM

I already searched on Highland, as well as Highland Park and didn't see anything jump out at me...

off to search again :(

JeeberD

12-21-2005, 10:42 PM

Did you try it in quotes?

timmae

12-21-2005, 10:44 PM

correct and correct...

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 10:52 PM

JeeberD

Yuppers, as far as I can tell...

oliegirl

12-21-2005, 10:56 PM

Yuppers, as far as I can tell...

Radii found a thread where Barkeep49 refers to himself as " xxxx " and then mentions that he won't be "xxxx" anymore...so we are pretty sure it's him! :) I actually found a post where Barkeep was paging Esquared, but Esquared didn't participate...further investigation proved that I FINALLY found out who it was! Yay!

MizzouRah

12-27-2005, 04:31 PM

Thanks!!

I also received an email stating my order just shipped, although I know Jphillips has already received his Bengals shirt. Maybe you're getting another one. :)

Joe

12-27-2005, 07:55 PM

Bushie thanks for not doing the stereotypical thing and matching up the chicks. That was way cool of you.

Not that oliegirl wouldn't have made a cool Secret Santa, but it would have been too predictable.

;) I was intrigued by the possibility of suicane getting either one of you girls. The result would have been great. :D
