I had vader, which was a bit of a pain in the ass because I knew nothing about him other than he is terrible at fantasy football and lives in a frozen wasteland of desperation and despair. I decided to send him a few things to help him survive and cope.

I'm not sure when he got the package, but I sent it December 17th and was starting to freak out that it hadn't arrived yet. The tracking number showed that it hadn't left Indy the day he did his reveal. Lol USPS.

I had Thayer, which was ****ing fantastic because I really wanted someone I could buy that Porzingis jersey for. I had scoped it out after signing up but before the reveals.

By the time matches came out the entire run of 14-15 Sevilla jerseys was out of stock, but they made new ones on the 15-16 jersey after a few folks emailed to ask about getting custom ones made.

Hi mmbt0ne,

It is impossible because Spalding no longer manufactured that jerseys. The new one is very similar, almost the only thing that changes is the skyline of the city in the bottom of the jersey. We decided to put the dorsal Porzingis in that shirt by strong demand from the United States.

Best regards.

So I guess technically it's not totally legit since Stapz was already in the NBA before this season started but oh well.

If you want some rando Euro league/country jersey, I give www.madbasket.es the highest recommendation.

I resent the implication that I suck at fantasy football, just because I had to try and get Hoya drunk during the draft and suffered for it by drafting all the QBs. In fact my other team made the finals and only lost because Cam decided to take the game off.

Anyways I appreciated the gifts and I actually made good use of the horn during the Vikings game last night.

I had tarheels, which was pretty easy given his gift last year. Although I did have a plan to also buy him a gun and some Trump gear so he could defend himself and or fit in under your new TRUMP overlord. Decided that I might get in trouble if I did it so I dismissed it.

I had dudd. We dont really post in the same sports threads but he and i have spent a lot of time in got threads, so the gilly photo w autograph was a no-brainer. I remembered the carlin thing and figured id try to change his mind one last time there. The mug is just my avatar, which i thought was a cool way of revealing just to him, but somehow that didnt work well. (Was going tk do a 4 piece set of previous avatars of mine but it was too much) the card i just figured would be nice after seeing it in a shop.

I had digables.

you shoulda got an NC car decal thing too with the scarf. the gif I requested for the warrior mask/hat thing was the one where it's zoomed in on his face and he's shaking non-stop like he's busting a nut. somebody has it as their avatar, forget who. just figured it'd be funny to see.

jelly beans were wifer's idea. "get him those stinky socks jelly belly's" I believe was her exact quote. troll dolls were for you to play with.

I had KC, American millionaire, Mass pints aficionado and, evidently, *not* homebrewer. Didn't intend to troll re: supplies, several reviews indicated that everything you needed (which I figured included any non-standard gadgetry) was included, but I shoulda done more research.

Nah, the best part of that gift was that it required work, which reminds me, did CDL just give up and not work hard enough for additional gifts?

Just like a white patriarchical oppressor to fail to practice what he preaches. Bootstraps are only for other people to pull themselves up, not THE BOT, it seems.

I had SYF. Tried to do some research but it appears he pretty much only posts about sports, so I just went with some Canada based gifts. We got video of him playing with his Strange Brew action figures while wearing his toque, so I don't think it gets much more Canadian than that.

I have earned, but not yet received my second gift. My SS said it was on the way a while ago, but I guess its coming from Europe or something.

I had Eddy. The reveal didn't quite go as planned. Maybe amazon or I screwed up the gift messages. Sounds like both the horse mask and MLP toys came with "in lieu of the horse dildo."

The mask was supposed to say something like "this was originally intended for your wife, to help you 'be one with the horse', and it was to be paired with a strap on horse dildo. But it turns out horse dildos are very expensive."

This was of course in reference to Eddy Bratz Rides a Horse.
