Friends of Tom Secret Santa Gift Exchange 2009

can we re-open FOTChan with the Secret FOT Crush thread?

Whuuuut? Do elaborate.

once upon a time there was a magical place called FOTChan, where we could post anonymously.  one of the memorable threads (for me) was the FOT Secret Crush thread...where someone once admitted to having a crush on me.  it was a win-win.

merry christmas to me, from KTB:










and my FAVORITE..

What a pretty story. Tell it again...

Oh, btw, what a great FOT SS haul! Pretty magical as well!

my Secret Santa was KTB, which was christmas in itself.

thanks again, KTB!

You're Welcome! Glad it all finally arrived.

I hope that you post some pics of you wearing the Mike Show shirt at some late night illegal underground knife fight. It would be fitting.

[ugelhay]

That Mike Show shirt is amazing. Lucky you.

[fletcher munson]

KTB, how can the rest of us get that Mike Show shirt?   

[iAmBaronVonTito]

i think i just found my first knife fight victim.

[erika]

I haven't heard from my santee, but I'm guessing the gift got there because [regrettably] I sent it last week with next-day air. I hope you got it, santee!

now that i think about it, with Mike trying on his new persona- The White Knight- i might have to find a church and get baptized in it.

Holy smokes, I cleaned up.  

Pete graced me with not one, not two, but THREE issues of Michael Kupperman's Tales Designed to Thrizzle, which I've glance at before and loved, but never got around to actually purchasing.  So great.

"Is that all?" you might ask.  Well, it would certainly be enough, but NO!  It is not all!!!

Pete also gave me Matt Kindt's Super Spy and 3 Story: The Secret History of the Giant Man.  Great, great stuff.  Deep and rich and everything grown-up graphic novels should be.

"Well, that's quite a collection," you might say.  You would say that and you would be right.  But Pete is not done yet, folks!

My package also included DVDs of Brad Bird's Iron Giant and Sir Norm MacDonald's Dirty Work.   Mind-bogglingly incongruous when paired?  Welcome additions to my home video library?  Yes and yes.

And the whole shebang came with a handwritten letter making it all the more special.

Thank you so much, Pete.  You rock the most.  I love it all.  Happy New Year to you and yours.

Just saw this!  So glad you liked it.

I hope my Santee got his gift

Yeah about 4 emails later (and I can see that he's logged on somewhat frequently) I'm pretty pissed that my giftee isn't getting back to me to at least let me know that he received his gift. Can't help it. It just kind of sucks.

Yeah, I found out recently that 2 people never received their gifts - in one case, I had been emailing the delinquent giver a few times about it on the recipient's behalf, since enough time had passed that the recipient was rightfully wondering what was up. In the other case, which I just found out about, that person emailed the would-be recipient again on a couple of occasions, "it's coming, it's coming" and then radio silence.

Life is hard, and sometimes shit comes up, but One should not sign up for a thing, and then leave somebody hanging with no explanation.
