@LittleSin : I just received the message that your package was sent and should arrive January 3rd. Don't ask me where this sudden delay comes from..n
Aw! At least now I know not to wait with baited breath.

When I was a kid I used to think this meant that you ate worms. And when used in context it never failed to confuse me.
I was not a smart child.

Probably also confusing because the correct term is a homonym, bated breath. As in "abated." Apparently it's another one of those fanciful phrases Shakespeare pulled out of his ass and the English Language just said "YEP THAT'S A THING."

Look, if @Dave was (mis)using it in his youth, it was clearly already a thing before Shakespeare's time. So that's clearly nonsense.
It was probably made more difficult because it’s also one of the more famous Mork & Mindy quotes:

By the time M&M rolled around, I was past that phase, TYVM.
@Denbrought, I got my Secret Santa package. They are all so wonderful! I was having teeth races in the kitchen.
I'll post pictures and/or videos very, very soon.
You are awesome! Thank you so much. <hugs>

Screw it, I live dangerously and I open NSFW gifts at work!
Yes, indeedy, I immediately recognized the return address as somewhere I'd been before
First up in the big box was this tasty little cupcake plushy from Pit People (complete with frosting flinging backpack), ready to give of himself to keep me and anyone else on my team alive.
Nibbles will surely enjoy this. Merry Christmas ya filthy animal.
And the final item in the box was this cute framed SD-artwork of Albedo from Overlord. After all, every evil mastermind needs to have an adoring (and dangerous) sycophant, right?
And that brings us to the tube, postmarked from Singapore, which I was specifically warned NOT to open whilst at work. But as I said, I live dangerously (and when do I ever listen to anything Dei tells me, right?).
First shook out was this D.Va and Mei postcard...
Well, now I am REALLY interested, so here....
Whup, ok, yep, that's... That's going home in the tube. But here's as much as I can show outside the NSFW forum!
Mercy, Mercy, Me.
Thanks much for the swag, Santa Dei! Well chosen.

He says, not posting anything in the NSFW forum. Pfeh!
This is as far as I read.
