Friends of Tom Secret Santa Gift Exchange 2009

[DoodleJump!]

I like anything, pretty much. Old books, music I've never heard of, baked stuff, handmade stuff, anything random = love.





EDIT: I love old things in general. Quirky old things, like antique automatons and such. I also like classy stuff- classy old movies, music, clothing.

Was soo much fun doing this last year.

Chick tracts, marzipan, and oven mitts. 

After the amazing gift I got last year from Courtney I could get a twix bar this year and still be over the moon.

Reminds me, need to see if the Pharmacy Spirits have an album for sale yet.

[dave from knoxville]

Someone make sure I get Ben.

[Bryan]

Me too! I like all kinds of comic books, cooking & food, and laffs.

[hugman]

[erika]

You're going to put a bow on a bottle of Kayo Syrup, aren't you?

You're going to put a bow on a bottle of Kayo Syrup, aren't you?

Sam's Club sells it by the gallon, and the handle makes a convenient place to hang the bow.

Count me in. I will accept any gift not convered in swine flu.

[Regular Joe]

Finally, I can do something with those Truck Nuts Joe got me.

Just kidding, Joe, they're an original by the artist behind Scumm Force!  I'm waiting 8 years and retiring with the cash I make from them on eBay.

But please no more Truck Nuts.  Unless like 35 of you want to get together and all mail me Truck Nuts.  That would be kind of awesome.

haha, good luck with that collectors item. I've never made anything more inappropriate, for someone so distinguished. I don't know that I regret it, but boy... I can't even remember what I was thinking! Funny at the time? Maybe not even that.

Either way I'm in again, and promise to do better/equally-not-so-good this year, for another lucky FOT.

I hope I get you too Dave!  Can't wait to send you a box of Green Bay Packer paraphernalia!

Hey thanks!

(We're recording a new full-length right now but you can nab an EP we have up on iTunes - soon we'll have a different EP on iTunes through Cunniglius Records. I'll let you know when)

I'm in again this year. Yeah, totally. I'm sending off my email now ...

I like the good musics (rock, weird foreign synth-wave, local stuff from your neighborhood, etc.) the good books (if I like Harry Crews, Will Self, Thomas Wolfe, Martin Amis & Larry Brown then I'll like ...?), and the good arts (I'm a printmaker/bookmaker by night - I like the darker stuff - death, sadness, insanity, all that crap  ha). I hope that's not toooo specific - I don't have Facebook or anything so you can't look me up and find my interests. Sorry!

I've had a rough few months so you can really get me anything and I'll be happy!

I'm gonna start putting together a gift tonight. Stoked.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Joe, it was hilarious!  Even my wife, who is about 1,000 times more distinguished than I could ever possibly be, had to grudgingly admit that.

Hi again guys - make sure you send your official "I'm in" w/your info to:

antichristina@ymail.com

If I haven't seen an email from you but you've said something over here I might check in with you to see if you're really in.

Oh, and if you're wondering how I'm going to assign Santas and Santees, I'm doing it a bit different than last year. I'm working up a list of all of your names. When it's time to pick, I'm going to write each of your names on a sheet of paper & spread them all over the floor of my apartment. At considerable expense to myself, I've secured the services of this lil bastard for one day:

I'm going to set him loose on top of your names, and as I get to your name on the list, whatever name he's dancing and pecking on? That's your Santee.
