This is for people that are in the Secret Santa to put the name of another person or two who can answer questions for the gifter about the giftee, like "would she actually enjoy getting that many boxes of Chex?"
For me: pscan
-
I don't think anyone here can help re: info about me, but I will say that if the person who drew my name is interested in sending a shirt, I can wear either an L or an XL.
-
Would anyone who will or may not consume (1) butter, (2) sugar, (3) chocolate, or (4) almonds say so here, please?
Thank you.
-
As far as t-shirts go, I tend to wear the largest women's shirt available.
-
My blood type is A+.
-
I have two (2) roommates.
-
I don't care for pesto or coffee or most rock music.
-
it's the best shit ever.
true story.
Dear Santa, let me have some of that shit.
-
I don't care for pesto sweets or coffee gift cards or most rock music shirts smaller than a L/XL.
-
If anyone doesn't want Chinese Democracy please advise
-
I am actually Raad_Man.
-
Just a copy of this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844029/) for me please.
-
Why did I expect anything to get taken seriously on this board.
Apologies.
Let me try again: I have a cat that solves crimes.
-
Oh I'm dead serious. If you buy me a shirt that is too small I'll have to use it for a dish rag. I'm getting fatter by the second.
-
im serious AND lazy. i merely let Martin speak for me and edit accordingly to accommodate my own portrayal.
-
I have a theory. People bitch that American Apparel shirts etc are tight-fitting. But I think that everyone else has adjusted their sizes upwards to accommodate the fattening of America. I bet t-shirts in the 1960s and 70s were all sized like hipster clothing today.
-
i can see this. especially since "hipsters"/etc. seem to have no problem finding clothes that fit them perfectly in any second-hand store.
-
I may not be skinny, but I don't think on a scale of women (even in the 60's and 70's) I would be considered "extra large" and yet I often have to buy shirts in that size.
-
either way, i dont think it matters. my other half was 6'1" and 130 lbs. (in other words, SKINNY) and had a hard time fitting into american apparel shirts. the clothes were just too small.
another case in point, i have a close friend who is 30 lbs. lighter than myself but i wear clothes two sizes smaller than they do. it is what it is.

You're dead on. Dov Charney, the CEO of American Apparel, actually talks about this in his interview with Charlie Rose:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8906053411802681740
He blames the fit of contemporary clothing on aging baby boomers who control the market. They also convienently control the agricultural industry and food production.
Say what you will about the guy's creepiness, but he sure has some good ideas about manufacturing and production in America (and how to keep it ethical).

I don't know how the boob effect plays into this, but I have a large girl's hoody that I got from Target (that I bought because it's purple and I like purple), and it's way tight on me. And I'm a very medium person (5'9" 150 lbs).

I will go on the record that I do not normally consume butter, unless it is used in combination with other ingredients in some greater culinary scheme.

Any shirt you can purchase is too small to fit my ample frame. I adore music of most types, and I do know how to read. Not that I think this is really an issue in the Secret Santaverse, but if you must know, I have not worn a pair of jeans in over 17 years.
-
take it from me: DFK would either like boiled peanuts or a math textbook (any math textbook, they all say basically the same shit)
you're welcome DFK and DFK's secret santa.
-
take it from me: Erika would either like some gefilta (sp?) or Wrestlemania DVD's.
you're welcome Erika and Erika's secret santa.
-
take it from me: Kim Kelly would either like a beanbag chair or some porn DVD's featuring only missionary position intercourse.
you're welcome Kim Kelly and Kim Kelly's secret santa.
-
take it from me: Groteface would either like the Twilight books or tickets to the One Man Star Wars show.
you're welcome Groteface and Groteface's secret santa.

Hi, Rita Mae Brown.

I could use a new avatar. Perhaps with butter.
-
I really want a puppy.
Thanks!
-
I would actually like a porn video of the One Man Star Wars guy having missionary sex with a jar of gefilte fish. Thanks!!
-
I really want a puppy.

Failing that, I'll take one of these (https://www.23andme.com/).

i want a date that costs $20 or less, a framed photo, and a piece of original art by my secret santa.

I don't think one could go wrong with this (http://www.sarahcalendar.com/).

I want someone to take my stupid old cat, Fluffy. Also, I like anything that flashes or blinks, so long as it isn't a cat.
