Quoted from Saltimbanco:Absolutely, Chinchilla is the mascot of Pinside Secret Santa, but let's not forget Dot's is the premium food item! That and those mini m&m candy tubes! Not only are they yummy, but great to hold pinballs (actually a perfect fit!)[quoted image]
What? No mention of crocheted outerwear, you're slipping.
Quoted from Haymaker:If you're a big loser like me and a lot of other folks around here, posting all the time
Hey, wait a minute there! That's "Mr. Big Loser' to you! 
Quoted from TreyBo69:I’d be into whatever. Surprise me. Give me a random mech and I’ll try to put into my next homebrew project lol.
Moving Grogu? Bond-on-stick??
Quoted from Apinjunkie:What? No mention of crocheted outerwear, you're slipping.
Sorry, I'll try to do better! How about crocheted underwear? Polyester could be magical..

That is good to know....First I have heard that tidbit!

I will firmly say that dots don't agree with me. Please...don't send them.
Chinchillas on the other hand, I love
If I was participating and I was going to buy a book about pinball for my Elf I'd buy this one:

I own several and this was the one I got the most out of. The interviews, mostly.
Quoted from balt:LesManley, please pair me with someone who deserves my yarn talent.

DOplE0ZX0AIc9bF (resized).jpgI am in - again! This has always been fun to shop for and, of course, fun to receive. Thank you, Les! Merry Pinsmas to all!
Pm sent! First year and I'm excited. Already have a few ideas for the person I'll be buying for even tho we don't know who they are yet.

if someone were to receive one of these animatronic guys, they wouldn't have to worry about feeding them
Wahoo! I’ve been lurking on Pinside since joining the hobby in 2019, but I’m excited to participate this year!!
Quoted from northvibe:sent the pm in.... lets hot tub time machine this!
Wait two hours to see if a guy gets his arm ripped off? 
Quoted from northerndude:Wait two hours to see if a guy gets his arm ripped off?
I can only assume we take the time machine back to when chinchillas ruled the earth and one eats someone's arm off!

Quoted from Haymaker:A tip I'd offer for new recruits is to go into some of the previous years celebrations and get a good vibe on how everything goes down
Oh and you can update your personal profile with gameroom pics and info. if you don't like having the game room info etc, you could remove after you get your gift.

I wonder if these were the same ones at Chicago Pinball Expo for the project pinball charity? They had Frogger and other classic games.
Quoted from LesManley:Up to 145 total now and with 12 participants the Canucks have already outdone themselves compared to last year.
Quoted from LateCenturyMods:Not in, just passing through to contribute an idea in case you're stuck.

This is a great list. Can easily search for posts your santee has made in these or any thread. I've used this method many times to get an idea of what kind of tastes my person has!
Quoted from midcoastsurf:I wonder if these were the same ones at Chicago Pinball Expo for the project pinball charity? They had Frogger and other classic games.
Probably, they have so many to chose from and they are not just pinball related. Great stuff for a game room
Quoted from Saltimbanco:Open challenge to Aussie's out there!!
I ain't shipping this pinball machine to Queensland.
Quoted from Fulltilt:I ain't shipping this pinball machine to Queensland.

I'll make it worth your while by sending you not one, but two furry friends!

I’m in! PM sent, looking forward to another year of mysteries and hilarity!
…and the untold stress of trying to come up with good gift ideas!!!
I’m in again. Thank baby Jesus that Les sent me the reminder email today. Haven’t been on here much in the last few weeks.
Been dealing with one of my best friends recently getting diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer, not much time left for him. Two young daughters under 12. It’s beyond sad. Hasn’t been a good start to the holiday season.
But I’m going to drop off two of my games to him next week so that will give him something to do as he wanders around in his basement with the IV chemo.
So glad to see this thread again. Needed some positivity from you folks. Thanks.
