A 13cm waist would be..problematic
Yes they are in inches, lol
Not meters? Not leagues? Not furlongs? Not parsecs?Yes they are in inches, lol
That's the torso measurement, not the waist.
...but I thought the same thing, at first.

@Officer_Charon ; Amazon done f'ed up and is sending your gifts on seperate days. Expect boxes on the 5th and 6th.
Repeating for @Officer_Charon so he gets the message... if I remember correctly tagging doesn’t work in anonymous posts.
I think that's been fixed... because I received both tags. I'm embarrassed to be getting more than 1!

Do you have an amazon wishlist, dude? Be kind to your secret Santa, my buddy. I could really use it, my pal.

Oooo, I can answer this one! She wants... um... oooo, look! Shiny!
What was the question again?
Oh yeah, Mom likes t-shirts that she can carry all 10 of us in so XL please. 2XL if they run small.
I don’t, and my wife hates me for it. You might take a look back through the previous Santa threads for some ideas. But if you’re still stuck, then consider gifting something that you thought was so amazing that you felt like you had to share it with someone else. Just keep in mind that I probably don’t need any computer stuff, don’t currently have time for books/movies (which sucks btw!), and I have a wife and kid, so no stained-glass “Budweiser” chandelier, please.
If this doesn’t get your gift-giving juices flowing, page me again and I’ll see if I can’t help narrow it down some more.

I dunno, that sounds like a lot of trouble. Where would you attach it? Would you have to modify your entire wardrobe? Would it impede certain activities based on its location?
One thing’s for sure, it would enable me to tell someone else to leave me alone 50% more emphatically.

You should learn how to use your feet for that as well.[DOUBLEPOST=1512434779,1512434733][/DOUBLEPOST]

It's basically books and board games. @Tress since this is a reply to an anonymous post, could you perhaps forward this link along to my Secret Santa? http://a.co/7fEqc2d
CHRISTMAS AWAY
Done.

You should be receiving two packages.
A little worried because Amazon Prime's otherwise 2-day shipping says they will be delivered...by Dec 18th? As in, 12 days from now?
What, do you live in a cave atop a mountain behind a waterfall or something? Actually, don't answer that.
Going ahead with the order just in case they are generously underestimating their shipping time but will update. Please to be keeping us updated as well.

Yes. I have no idea why they decided to put the thing they put in a second box in a second box. I didn't think it was of sufficient size to merit one.

Your stuff is on the way. Should be there about December 8. I used your Amazon wishlist but feel bad it couldn't be more or more personal. Once this is all over you'll understand why.

I know! That's rough on us both! Dumb ol' amazon. It'd have almost been better if they'd just held everything back so it all came at once.
Here I shall lend credence to Matthew 20:16.
A box! A box has arrived. What's in it?
Another box! This one has a picture on it. "Out on a limb," eh? I guess I know what we were getting at.
Nope! Plenty of foam padding ensures that even aggressive shipping and handling bring the contents no harm.
Seems there are three possibilities as to what is inside the box. Which one is inside those foam bricks?
Wellllll.....
...it's the Dragon! Cranky is going to be jealous. He's by far the biggest dragon lover in this household. Has been for decades.
Well, I guess that means the "limb" comment isn't as relevant as I originally thought.
Let's see it without all the messy packaging, shall we?
The resin makes the base juuuuuust a bit wobbly, but the interior claims to be stainless steel, so it should be food-safe. Probably not dishwasher-safe, though. Not really a problem, since this is unlikely to be my daily driver, but I'll make sure not to use it with, say, cider or balsamic vinegar.
For now, it will go on the shelf next to our wedding glasses, the ones we used to toast the assemblage during our reception:
Cranky's away on vacation to visit family. My first draughts from it will no doubt be of his envy.

Hmm, the corner is dented, I hope nothing bad has happened to it.The note said:Hello PatrThom, I hope you enjoy your
gift
