All right, so since I knew who my secret santa was the second I saw the return address, and because I sent off my SS gift today... I went and opened mine! And hot damn, am I ever glad that I did! Here's a little photo tour:
1. Oh, hello inside of the box, with lovely wrapped gifts. You look so appealing. I believe I will dig into you. (Side note: my camera really doesn't do low-light colors well - the tissue-wrapped thing on the bottom had lovely lime green paper, and its ends were sealed with pink silk bows. Classy already).
2. That's right - a radioactive green (my favorite color) shirt with "RAD" in mauvey-purple felt letters. I am officially a badass.
3. Candy and stickers from the coolness center of the universe - Japan. GREEN TEA KIT-KATS AND SOME CRUNKY CRUNK BAR!!!! And crazy mushroom dudes! Because, hey - crazy mushroom dudes.
"But what's in that last box?" you ask. Well, I'm glad you did...
It's a muthatruckin' Dandubblewe DAM Ezekiel clone! WITH AMAZING GREEN DOC BROWN ETCHED ART!!!! Seriously, my jaw dropped as soon as I realized what I was dealing with here. I played it through my wussy computer speakers for almost an hour, and it boomed and doomed like nuthin' else. Sir Behnders went above and beyond in the name of Secret Santa. He is the UBERSANTA. I am so stoked to sport my new threads, nosh on some kit-kats, and doom out with some surrious Ezekialification. So... amazingly... great.
So yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. And he lives in California, and plays a mean Dingwall bass.
