Celebrated Square Root Day
|
Sometimes the funnest part is the internet awkwardness of it all. Like showing up at someone's door when the recipient isn't home and asking a woman if she has a husband, while holding a bottle of alcohol in your hand. Followed by a look of relief as you say "well this is for him, merry Christmas!"

Thank fata my wife wasn't home. She would not get it.
I probabably will not do again next year. For some reason i over worry. Scorpion was so vague other than 'no flames stuff'. Thanks for that knowledge a-hole!
I reached out to scorp on his work contact in his sig. he also had a cool vehicle and my kid passed his drivers so we had to shuffle.
Go test drive it with him to glean (or is it gleem) some info. He doesnt offer up anything really. But man i loved that car.
Was going too beer with russic and locke so i told him to come. He didn't seem to drink so that ruled out booze gifts.
Ended up buying the vehicle. Fack!
You did get the other gift card right scorp?

Rookie mistake Fotze, Scorp scammed you into a car because he vagued his questionnaire.
Classic Scorp! You bagged another one!

It helped that I was dressed like this...
It just screams "mostly harmless."

I should just point out...she left you for dead! I could have been an axe-murderer for all she knew!
Didn't even ask me my name or what I was doing there just 'come on in'...I was carrying a gift-bag so I guess it's cool...there could have been anything in there...

Pretty much happened to me when I went to my secret Santa’s place. At least I was carrying my gift in a really cool dollar store bag and was welcomed with laughter after I said “ is your husband on Calgary puck”.

I was awkwardly caught leaving the gift this year too…and even more awkwardly I had an appointment to get to, so could just wave instead of staying to say hi.
Lots of usage out of our secret Santa gifts to end our break. We used the zoo gift cards to go to zoo lights last night, which was awesome. It’s an annual tradition for our family, but this year we ended up being super busy in November and December, so it worked great going on New Year’s Day. Everyone had an awesome time.
And today we had a bit of a quiet day at home, so my daughter got to work on her Taylor Swift activity book and my son finished his Lego Star Wars set. The gun really fires the blaster thing, so most of his afternoon has been spent doing target practice against a fleet of troopers which has been pretty hilarious to watch. Thanks again secret Santa; the gifts were a hit!
