    I have never seen someone just take the wrapping paper off a present and stop at the box, this to me is hysterical.

    #429 3 years ago

    Ok please explain the Schrodinger's squash reference, I am ignorant to the meaning.

    Wow that blown glass gift is freaking awesome! I want one too now, on to the glassblowing pinball thread now.

    Waiting on one more gift to arrive so I can box it all up and send the package on to my recipient. One of his or her presents showed up today and I really think they are going to love it! Can’t wait to see their reaction.

    Quoted from Apinjunkie:

    I couldn't agree more, and the more I explore it,the cooler it gets. As it turns out the artist useed UV reactive glass for the planet. This gift just keeps on giving. And thanks again to my SS for this, really above and beyond. Honestly, it makes me really want to step up my game for next year. Hey Less ,have you given any thought to Christmas in July?

    I must say the more I see this blown glass piece the more impressive it becomes. So very cool! Awesome SS gift, great job Santa!

    Quoted from undrdog:

    The pinball machine ornament I ordered 19 days ago came in today. That's from Canada to Dallas 19 days. FYI.

    If it’s for you do you have a picture to share of it?

    #518 3 years ago

    That is awesome!

    #573 3 years ago

    To my recipient, your last gift is supposed to arrive today according to tracking info. I will get it all wrapped up and into the mail either today or first thing tomorrow morning depending on when it shows up! I am excited for you to receive your gift as I stalked you and I believe found the perfect main gift for you! I am hoping it gets to you before Christmas and I have faith that it will arrive to you on time.

    Quoted from northvibe:

    Amazon Prime is a joke now with shipping so bad. Unless you live in an area with same day or hour delivery near a warehouse it takes waaayyy longer.

    Yeah Prime shipping is never 2 days anymore....I think Amazon is not concerned as much with customer service anymore.

    Quoted from BubbaBeast:

    I came home to a huge box from my SS, and thinking there might be some wrapped gifts inside to put under the tree, I cracked it open. Well, nothing was wrapped, so there was no turning back. Pinside Secret Santa has never disappointed, but wow, this year he was ridiculously generous!
    Either Santa works at Pinball Photos, or he raided the warehouse and grabbed all of the best stuff. First, was a huge, really comfortable blanket (my wife says it is a “plush, Sherpa throw” ) with a very cool picture of a pinball and bumper.
    [quoted image][quoted image]
    Next, was an epic pinball shower curtain, that is going to be perfect for our mancave bathroom.
    [quoted image]
    Two pinball placemats, for a date night meal watching the TWIPY’s.
    [quoted image]
    A sweet night light for the kid’s rooms, and a set of some really high quality pinball coasters (wrapped in some great twilight zone paper).
    [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
    This was way more than I ever expected and incredibly generous. A sincere thank you to my secret Santa for going above and beyond.
    [quoted image]

    All those gifts are astounding but that Sherpa blanket is top notch!

    Quoted from MrMikeman:

    Dude.. Really? Your wife would kill you for buying a movie poster??? I mean a NIB pinball I could understand but a POSTER?!?!?!?
    Your SS saved a life!!! Pretty awesome!

    “Wow honey my SS sent me a NIB pinball”, rinse lather repeat all year long...life just got simple.

    My Package has arrived so I snapped a picture, not sure if I will open now or wait till Christmas. Contents not wrapped message might hold me back. Thank you secret Santa!

    Thank you Secret Santa for the awesome gifts! Thank you as always Les for organizing. This makes my holiday season that much better!

    A set of 4 pinball coasters
    A teenage mutant ninja turtle mini pin game
    A historical book about Mt. Saint Helens erupting accompanied with a jar of the Ash collected by his great grandfather! (Very very cool [I will leave it sealed SS])
    A space card game
    A rollercoaster tycoon pc rom that goes along with my RCT pinball machine
    A Homer Simpson figure to remind me of my TSPP I owned in the past
    Some treats Aplets and Cotlets and some mountain bars made by the same company that makes Almond Roca. Very cool!

    Quoted from Fezmid:

    Also want to give a huge shout-out to saltimbanco. I made a comment in this thread that I loved Coffee Crisp and was sad you can't get it in the States. He sent me a PM offering to send me some. I opened the package this morning and it's an entire CASE of them! Yum! There are a lot of awesome people in the world. Thank you.
    My cats thank you too - we haven't been able to throw the box away because the three of them literally take turns sleeping in it and get mad when we take it offb the table! Lol
    [quoted image][quoted image]

    This is so cool! Love this thread and the awesome people that are a part of it, best thread in Pinside!

    Love good bbq sauce!

    Quoted from Fezmid:

    There's a local place (MN) that makes the BEST BBQ sauce... His name's Chef Earl, and he makes this one sauce that has Trinidad Scorpion Peppers in it. So good.... It's pretty expensive though. https://www.facebook.com/Chef-Earls-BBQ-957386874289857/
