It's a yeast extract and has a very strong flavour. I had also sent you some Trooper beer with a commemorative glass but the fuckers returned it! I blame a Trump

It's actually a very nice beer.

Now I have to hunt it down... especially the glass.

I got a mini Godzilla, a Perk and a Navarro instructional DVD and 3 LPs: Savages, Drenge and GGU!!! I actually dropped hints to my wife "wow, GGU is being released on vinyl". She didn't get it. Panda, you came through in ways my wife could not! Excited to hear Savages and Drenge, I've never heard them before. This is really awesome, thank you very much!

I'm glad you like the goodies. Buying the LPs was kind of a risk because I *think* I recalled you mentioning you had a turntable a few years ago in some thread.

All great gifts, but did I just read Hoka's still fertile? Oh shit....grats brave man

Nice gifts! Thanks everyone for posting.

Hoka - you need to start you own thread where you give us updates on your life. This annual dump just isn't going to cut it; we can't wait until the next Secret Santa rolls around to find out what is going on with you.

Oh, and congratulations!

congrats hoka!

and does this mean not one, but two people this year got old spice deodorant?

If I remember, and my SS recipient next year is a bloke, I'm adding in a bottle of Old Spice. Maybe everyone should....

I really laughed when I saw that you got wally Old Spice too. I almost chose the 'Swagger' but decided to go old school with the 'original'

Yes, congrats to Hoka! I new about engagement from Facebook but not the other stuff.

Too bad there isn't a 'Lady Spice' line for the ANR gals.

Thanks everyone! Both personally and professionally life has never been better. Sorry for the info dump. Life has been moving very quickly this year. I also don't tend to share much personal info these days, FB or otherwise. I more use FB as a photo album.

Larry?

Hey! Finally got around to picking up and opening my present! I have to say thank you so much to my Secret Santa, I really enjoyed my presents and the card in particular. There was something special in reading you as a real human being, beyond the screen.



That's the card (I was expecting it to be written in Spanish, but alas it was not to be), a kickass FNM show and a tape from my SS' own old band. Although my previous Secret Santa did send me a walkman, it wasn't on working condition, so this tape (along with those from the Belgian Papa Noel) will have to wait until cassettes make the same comeback vinyl is having now, so they actually start selling proper equipment.

And finally...



I liked the shirt, but my wife loved it... and since one has to pick his battles wisely, it's currently her favourite pajama-shirt. She was amazed it was an M, as it didn't fit me but it did fit her, and she's an S or sometimes even smaller... which made me wonder if you live in some sort of dwarf-area of town. Nothing wrong with that, by the way.

Seriously, Blackula: thank you for taking the time and effort and money to send those presents this way. Opening them made my day.

Much love to all

Speaking of your wife, Larry... how is she doing?

Awesome, so glad it made it to you!

Haha awesome Mr. Met shirt!

Yeh Larry, how is she now?

She's doing just fine, like nothing had ever happened. She just finished taking her vasodilators and on Friday she'll have an Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (known as Holter here); after that, at some point she'll have to undergo an MRI and check in with her neurologist. But she hasn't had any headaches, she has recovered the feeling in her face really close to 100% (so we think she'll actually get to 100%)... she just started working at the turn of the year and has had no problems so far - we'll see how she feels after the "work honeymoon period" is over, but fortunately things are currently looking good.

Glad to hear your wife is doing better. Great news.
Love the shirt!

Is BBC better?

There's also some talk on twitter about it.

Cassettes are "cool" right now. A couple of shops have opened in Toronto that sell them. There's even a Cassette Store Day, same as Record Store Day.
I have hundreds in a storage bin. If anybody wants some, I can mail you. I'll take a few pics of the selection I have and post.

This is one of the shops here:
