I'm waiting as late as I can.... don't want anyone to miss out!

Tomorrow I'll match folks up, and start sending out. Please be patient- it will likely take a 2 days for me to get all the emails out. I have 40+ to send, and I have to do each one step-by-step so I don't mess it up. Big Smile [:D]

Please keep in mind- once I tell you who your recipient is- don't tell anyone! And when you get your gift in the mail- don't reveal who sent it! Part of the fun is the suspense.

And no hinting!

Jon,

PM inbound!

Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank Back In Black.

Big Smile [:D] By "no hinting" I mean don't reveal who your recipient/Santa is. That's all.

Yeah, I do the emails one at a time. So it may take till Friday to get them all out. But I like to think about each person as I send it out, it's actually very special to me. I appreciate all of you guys.

 Whoops! Sorry Alex! Didn't mean to crash your mail. I just was blinded by the green spinny things!  Like a child watching the Tele-tubbies!

Concrats Andrew for the big 1 triple zero!

 Just wanted to let you all know that I got my e-mail!!!!!!! but it was spam from overstock dot com. Banged Head [banghead] I really have no idea what Jwb's process entails. I would kinda do it like we did in the Army writing everyones name on their underwear with a sharpie. Washing it and pulling names from the dryer on waistband at a time! May or may not be a scientically feaseable method but at least I would have an extra pair of clean undies!

Did I hear someone say CORSAIR???

Oops!  Wrong GB. Blush [:I]

LOL, yep- Drew's the guy I go to for Corsair stuff.

Jon is the Spitfire Guy, and Drew is the Corsair Guy, and Phoenix is the Luftwaffe Guy.  And Luftwoller is just Guy.

ROTFLMAO  I crack myself up.  Can tell the cold medicine is kicking in now. Tongue [:P]

I detect a TRAITOR amongst us.  Yes he has been ferreted out.  Caught jwb (Jon) over on the dark side - he is in the Armor Section..  Looks like he is building a pretty nice tank (where is he going to put the propeller). Shock [:O] Check it out guys.

Now we know why ee (emails - electronic envelops are slow).  Laugh [(-D]

It was easy when the index of the forums and his entry is right there in red, saying I' over here..... I saw someone else over there to, but won't say who......  Yeh I lurk to.  I hear the dark side has good cookies.  That probably enticed him over.  Maybe I'll have to entice him back with a nice big slice of Christmas cake.
