    Quoted from swinks:

    I haven't heard about - find the pickle in Australia?

    This is a joke, right?

    Like Dick in a Box, right?

    ...because Finding the Pickle implies someone stayed up late last night to Hide the Pickle. Or is this some ingenious method you all have for getting the kids into bed early on Christmas Eve?

    #249 3 years ago

    Well, all that is left is the waiting and the wraapping and the shipping and the waiting...

    I'm nowhere near done!

    #265 3 years ago

    Nice.

    Thought about the 12 days thing, but my recipient has been part of this game before and I was afraid of doubling up on the little stuff like keychain Plastics and small Tools and such...

    Again, many thanks to LesManley for keeping this tradition.

    #280 3 years ago
    Quoted from Jenniebear:

    Got my gift today. I had to open because the box is crushed. Got an AC/DC playfield wall hanger; Purple Apron for my Ghostbusters; Game of Thrones Stern poster & Game Exchange T-Shirt, Thank you Secret Santa!!

    Daaaamn...

    Your Santa Rocks!

    #289 3 years ago

    Option 2 is more fun for us, I think...

    and glad to see there are other anal retentive wrappers / packagers here.

    #298 3 years ago
    Quoted from Colsond3:

    Thank you Secret Santa!!

    Vic(?) bought you a new set of tools!

    #310 3 years ago
    Quoted from dirkdiggler:

    I'm new to this. Has anyone gotten a pin in the past?

    If you got 'Guitarded' - Yes.

    You are pretty much expected to (at the very least) buy your guy a NIB Pinball Machine.

    The White Glove Delivery Service is purely optional.

    #315 3 years ago
    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    I'm wondering if it's kinda like a corn nut, maybe? I've had those long time ago...though I admit I'm not certain I know what they actually are.

    Corn Nuts are essentially Rocky Mountain Oysters for Vegetarians.

    #319 3 years ago
    Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

    Skinless popcorn - I've never heard of such a thing.

    All the nutrients are in the skin.

    #380 3 years ago

    I can't believe how much anxiety I have waiting for someone else's gifts to get here...

    in my defense it's really cold out and I went with the hairless variant Chinchillas this year.

    #386 3 years ago

    No doubt that is a new penis pump.

    #405 3 years ago
    Quoted from Dee-Bow:

    if it's not a pump ...is it a
    jenga?!

    They make a Penis Jenga?

    #406 3 years ago
    Quoted from Apinjunkie:

    There were chinchillas ,only not live ones, just poorly rendered origami ones.

    If those are Genuine Origami Boulders, they are ...like...worth some serious money.

    Because I don't think that guy is in business anymore.

    #410 3 years ago

    Schroedinger's Squash

    #420 3 years ago
    Quoted from Apinjunkie:

    I found the words," a glass pumpkin came in this box" penciled in.

    Return address from Sleepy Hollow?

    #433 3 years ago

    People going out of their gourds with the gift giving this year.

    #468 3 years ago

    Isotoner Gloves

    #482 3 years ago

    I don't have a single thing in transit right now that is going to arrive here on time...only Titan got through before the logjam, apparently.

    USPS must have got pummeled for Black Friday / Cyber Monday.

    #487 3 years ago
    Quoted from fosaisu:

    Well my Secret Santa has raised the bar!

    Indeed. Awesome Gift Fu.

    That Pinsider must be a Black Belt.

    #491 3 years ago
    Quoted from jellikit:

    Make sure to charge the drill on Christmas Eve.

    ...or the Reciprocating Saw.

    #506 3 years ago

    WARNING : Secretes Santa

    #514 3 years ago
    Quoted from Percula:

    All different paper too

    Kitty is eyeing that Chinchila in the middle, there.

    #524 3 years ago
    Quoted from undrdog:

    But don’t expect it will be something to hang on the tree. It comes with a teensy screw eye, but no hole drilled for it and no template or instructions on where to drill it so that it will hang balanced.

    Just take out the Tilt Bob. Problem solved.

    #539 3 years ago
    Quoted from alexmogil:

    I did NOT order this.

    I said 'Good Day', Sir!"

    #545 3 years ago
    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    Just what do you suppose that guy is watching?

    The Vac. Pressure Gauge.

    #551 3 years ago
    Quoted from Saltimbanco:

    Could be 2 busy chinchillas! So you may end up with a whole family..just saying!

    Throw on some Barry White and stand back.

    #592 3 years ago
    Quoted from fosaisu:

    Perhaps some new skinny jeans to match that skinny tree

    They hide a Pickle Spear instead of the whole pickle.

    #622 3 years ago

    Damn! I forgot to throw the Corn Nuts in there.

    Those are gonna be some hangry Chinchillas by the time they get across the country. I am sure they'll be fine, though.

    #651 3 years ago
    Quoted from 2Kaulitz:

    i'm having issue were eveything i ordered is in limbo usps saying Arriving Late for the past 4 days :/

    I shipped a $150 LP out on BF by USPS Priority and it has been doing laps in the Akron Ohio PO for like 5 days.

    It's supposed to have gone to somewhere in the Carolinas and arrived over a week ago.

    #689 3 years ago

    Nipple Clamps are the gift that keeps giving. Your Santa (also) rules.

    #702 3 years ago

    2XL!

    There's one on the shelf in my basement. Nobody sings Charlie Daniel's Greatest Hits like 2XL.

    #710 3 years ago

    Waiting at the door when I got home this afternoon.

    I unboxed, as per instructed and inside I found ... well, a cornucopia of presents.

    Surely someone went the extra mile and it is greatly appreciated by this Pinsider.

    Thanks, Santa!

    **I might have to open one for Hanukkah - Night 2 : Secret Santa Boogaloo

    Quoted from matiou:

    And as you can see on the pic, I'm not the only one wondering what's inside!

    I bet it's a Chinchilla Colony.

    #724 3 years ago

    Fantastic album to flip to. MOV Pressing, too. Sweet

    And a PinZine (love the backcover ad)

    Thanks Santa!

    #743 3 years ago
    Quoted from Phat_Jay:

    $23 for priority and they cant get it out the state in 5 full days....

    You ask for a Miracle...

    I give you the USPS

    #761 3 years ago
    Quoted from northerndude:

    Holy shit, If I never see the word chinchilla again in my life...

    Chinchilla are like the Caribou of South America.

    #766 3 years ago
    Quoted from LTG:

    Careful when you sit on the throne. Toilet chinchillas could attack your private exposed parts.

    TRUE FACT : Before the Pinside Secret Santa Thread, Giant Sewer Chinchillas were an issue only in the larger cities of Peru.

    #773 3 years ago

    Tonight being night 4 of The Festival of Lights, I went ahead and tore into a few gifts.

    I am the happy recipient of a new set of LED Lamp / Magnetic Retieval Tools, some much needed ClearAudio Stylus Cleaning Fluid (there are way more carts here, than pins!) and a bomb ass Pinball T-shirt from Skill Shot in Seattle.
    [Saving the Santa Wrapped Girft for Christmas...]

    Thanks, again Secret Santa!

    #782 3 years ago

    Wow!

    Your Secret Santa was Stephen Stills?

    #787 3 years ago

    Only good news I can offer you 2Kaulitz is that items I sent out / ordered on BF started showing up at their desination / here last Friday.

    Also, anyone unwilling to accept Late Gifts can tender a request to have their gifts forwarded to me. I promise to post pictures of me opening and enjoying them.

    #853 3 years ago
    Quoted from pin2d:

    hopefully no gerbil looking things are harmed

    That Applicator Tip looks kinda big for a gerbil...

    #885 3 years ago

    Man, I forsee a future filled with Chinchillas and Corn Nuts for the good folks at Jersey Jacks.

    #901 3 years ago

    Even though there is an alarming dearth of Chinchillas...

    I Love this Thread.

    #910 3 years ago

    Chinchilla Highway IS my favorite Eagles tune.

    #941 3 years ago
    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    It's Who Framed Roger Rabbit on laserdisc!

    I was no shit gonna guess that! I think I still have a Peter Gabriel Laserdisc in my basement somewhere?

    #995 3 years ago
    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    That is an impressive sized pump!

    That or he's assembling parts to build a Hercules sized Xenon.

    #1005 3 years ago

    It's a matching set of Genuine Chinchilla Hair Toupees

    #1053 3 years ago
    Quoted from Coindork:

    Those poor chinchillas.
    I wonder how long they stay good in the mail?

    When it comes to Christmas Rodents I think your only choices are Naughty and / or Mice.

    #1061 3 years ago
    Quoted from Colsond3:

    Arrived home to one SS box, and another directly from Stern!

    I read that as Stren.

    And then I thought...when does this guy have time to fish? He's always driving around with multiple pins in the car!?

    #1099 3 years ago
    Quoted from smalltownguy2:

    A mother effin PLAYFIELD????

    Quoted from Percula:

    Merry Christmas to all . I hope everybody is enjoying their day with family. Thanks again to Les for doing this .

    1000x this.

    Thanks to everyone who has participated and everyone who has yet to post pics of their gifts.

    Best Thread of the Year. All credit owed to Les.

    #1353 3 years ago
    Quoted from PappaDubz:

    I just received a gift I bought for my wife on the 9th of December and I still haven’t received my other SS gift

    I'm still missing stuff I ordered on Black Friday.

    #1357 3 years ago
    Quoted from Dee-Bow:

    #1438 3 years ago

    Holy Schnikes!

    #1452 3 years ago

    F'n awesome.

    What a great end to a fantastic Secret Santa Thread / Season.

    Once again, many thanks to Les and everybody who participated. That goes extra for my SS.
    2020 will be known for more a helluva lot more than epic suck around these parts.

    #1479 3 years ago
    Quoted from homegameroom:

    Agreed! How many of us have brought a new pin in the house when the spouse is out. A few weeks later, you get the question “Is that a new pinball machine?” And you say “oh, no. We have had that one for a while now!”

    I used to sell guitars to a guy over in Japan who had an apartment for his actual collection and only kept 6 guitars in his home.
    "She only counts cases. So I never have more than 6 in the house at a time."

    1 week later
    #1503 3 years ago

    Fantastic!

    That goes Double for Linda Carter.

    #1508 3 years ago

    That Poor Chinchilla...

    He never had a chance, really.
