Hey! You with the package! Censored [censored]

Put it back under the tree, and step away with your hands up!

Now, either take your wife/girlfriend/mother shopping, or the kit melts!

Of course, seeing as I celebrate Channukah, which is this Friday, I could use that as an excuse to open my present early (but I'm not going to!)Laugh [(-D]

I am so sorry- I had not even thought of Channukah when I did the rules of the GB!

Please- if you celebrate Channukah, or any other tradition, and not Christmas- please adjust the rules to your personal celebrations.

Unless there are objections, I think it would be neat to wait to post photos until the 25th (or later) though.

Again- please don't let my ignorance interupt your holiday celebrations!

(Now- before anyone asks, Festivus DOES NOT count....... nor does celebrating the fact that it's Tuesday, or a blue Volkswagon went by, or the fact that you had meatloaf for dinner..... Wink [;)]

What is important is the friendships, the fun and the excitement! Thanks so much to all!

Well, even if you were joking, you make a good point. Celebrate when the celebratin' is good! LOL

And tool sales at Sears have not been declared an official holiday yet.... so that one is a no-go. Sorry. Smile [:)]

i'll send it cost what it cost- plus my dad wont let me keep it. the problem was the size and weight. now i'll use a littler box and a lighter proteccion.

and yes, thats the cost of sending a medium sized package. remember, this is Chile, sudamerica.

YO Sturzkampf,

Do you have a paypal account?  If so, I will pitch in a couple of bucks to help in your shipping if it is still to much.  

Merry Christmas everyone.

Glad to see you drop by Ed! Wink [;)]

Attention all Secret Santas! I have special announcement!

By virtue of his Christmasy spirit, and by special conspiracy among a couple of Santas, we hereby appoint Hippy-Ed to full status as an official Secret Santa, accorded all the rights and priveledge such a lofty position warrants. Namely- posting here a lot trying to find some special circumstance that warrants an early present opening. Wink [;)]

To which we say-

HANDS OFF! STEP AWAY FROM THE TREE!

An official Secret Santa package from a mystery Santa is winging it's way to you even as we hob-knob amongst us Santas. Said Santa shall remain a secret until Christmas, according to our ancient rules of the GB. Or at least the ones from a coupla months ago.

Welcome to the GB, Ed! Merry Christmas!
