Secret Santa for 2012?

[CreteCoater]

I'd like to be in on this one too, loved last years thread!

 

[Geurt]

Bummer, I don't have enough posts. Do posts containing pics of vises count double?

 

[flashman]

I would be in for this!

 

[luvit]

You can get 29 posts in a couple of days pretty easily...

yeah, like always post "thanks for sharing"

[00pewter]

I'd be up for volunteering to run the show. Anyone opposed of me getting the ball rolling to set this up?

 

[mncountrydoc]

Hey fellas,

Question for ya'll. Woody suggested using $30 worth of used tools instead of $30 in new tools since I know I won't be able to pony up the $30 in December. I'm leaving my current job in November and it might be a while before I get back on my feet.

Believe me, My stuff may not be used but I've got a ton of the old stuff. S-K Wayne, Fleet, Bonney, Proto (Including Los Angeles), Plumb, VLCHEK, Wright, Indestro, Bunch of old truck brands- All of them. Some Kobalt goodies. etc. etc. etc.

I could easily make up for the newness in quantity and quality.

Let me know if that's alright by everybody. Love to pass some of my finds onto a GJ'er.

You dont have to go new if you dont want I got used last year and loved everything i got it was all quality stuff was great opening it up and getting some very good tools that were high quality. I got3 very good speeder wrenches that were name brand among other things.

 

[efoster01]

Don't know how many posts I have, so I guess I will see now.

 

[efoster01]

Wow, I guess I read way more than I post. Maybe by 2015 I can participate.

yep, it's all good! A lot of people gave used last year and years before from what I've read. The gifts I received were new and the gifts I gave were a mixture of new and used.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Awesome. Looks like I'm in then. Now, to start saying final goodbye's to some of my little friends. Don't cry little Proto, You're going to a (sniffle sniffle) good home.

 

[dodge610]

Count me in again this year loved last year. the pit did a fantastic job last year and should be praised. PS the thread that said hat everybody was interested in getting was a tremendous help to me and others we need the I would like to get from santa thread again.

 

[KSwiss]

I've seen these go good and go bad. Sounds like there is a pretty good history of it going well enough here.

This has gone good the last few years here we have always had a very good person step up to the plate and run the show.

Thats the spirit jarhead from one good home to another.

 

[The Frisco Kid]

I'm in!

 

[uniballer]

I'm in, whats the deal? I would have to say no cheap china in the gifts! No gift cards cause that would be thoughtless. Should research your secret santa throught previous posts and avatars maybe?

 

[quick86]

I am really getting excited for the holidays personally. This is the first year I have been with my dream job and have a nice steady income!

How I am feeling this year:

lol

Read last years Secret Santa thread... It's full of all the rules/guidelines.

 

[Shocker]

Well well! I love it when I start somethin'!

I missed out last year (got sick) and found out too late. But I am in this year. I love SS.

 

[catsteve]

This thread is getting messy.

A new sticky needs to be created by the person taking this on.

 

[00pewter]

I sent blacknwhitepit a PM asking if he was going to the SS this year and if he wasn't, then I was gonna get the ball rolling.

I'm waiting to hear back from him before the "official" thread gets started.

 

[uniballer]

Please, I hope you do. I am already gettimg PM's with address. Why they think I am doing it, I am very unorganized and always late.

Your previous post might suggest you are organizing it. If you read it carefully you can see that it is just a copy of the 2011 intro. Maybe adjusting that post helps

 

[luvit]

If there is no organizer for 2012, this year, I can automate the entry form, just like here, if you would like.
Otherwise, I'm not meaning to step on any toes...

May I say a big thanks to you and luvit for stepping up and volunteering. I don't think that people realize how big an undertaking the SS effort can be. luvit's offer to create an SS entry form is a really good idea.
I would like to participate again this year.

Uniballer - I would edit your previous post asap or you will be swimming in addresses - it reads like you want to be the organizer!

Or maybe take it down? Whoever is gonna lead this year may need to tweak some guidelines.

I have a form ready. All I need to do is add a couple scripts to keep everyone's information private if you think this is the way to go.

Automating this information *should* be the way to go.. I think I read a post from Ryan somewhere that TGJ has doubled it's active user community base in the past 12 months..

Just saying... there could be an overwhelming response this year.
*** It could also be that more members will sign-up than who can actually follow through with purchase and shipping (good intentions).

[trexdoink]

I was just PM'd to advise my post count is too low to take part in this wonderful gesture. Bummer ...

Better start posting some stuff!

Edit your post to remove/replace the info with something else. I can't imagine how swamped you'll be if you keep it up.

I'm still waiting back to hear from blacknwhitepit...it shouldn't be too much longer before I can get a thread started. In working on adjusting the rules a bit from last year as well.
