Tala, aren't you the one that sets up the GFY Secret Santa thingee? If so, you should have known that your own roomie couldn't afford to send anything proper and shouldn't have allowed him to put his name on the list. :2 cents:

I'm not hating on you, Tala so please don't feel like I'm trying to attack you. I like you a lot and have never had a problem with you. I'm just trying to point out the obvious and trying to figure out how this happened. I don't know your situation with sub but I hope he is able to save face after this debacle. It will be tough but not impossible.

Oh man sorry to hear but damn that was funny :1orglaugh

Wait for next year's email

Luckily he didn't send out the ipod before he recieved the dud package. :)

Probably a surfer dude..that was a great comeback though

Glad you didn't send it, that would have been really shity

I don't control who plays and who doesn't, and I make, (or I thought I did), it clear that it's a give/give thing.

I am sorry, but I had no control over what anyone sent. Not my department. I just organize and send out the matches. I had no say in what was sent and i'm very sorry.

Just gives me another reason not to do it again next year.

generous gift

Do you never talk to your own roommate?

I have had several roommates throughout life and one thing that I can say is that I knew what sort of financial situation they were in at any given time. If they were paying half the bills then it was my business knowing their business. You guys both post on GFY and live together so it amazes me that you didn't know what he was sending out as his secret Santa gift. Actually, you knew what he sent out because in pup's thread you made a pretty tough stand on his name not being disclosed. This was well before anyone knew who the guilty party was.

He's 38 years old and he's sending bootleg games to someone as a Christmas gift?!? That is just not right.

fuck no it isn't, and tala obviously knew what was up, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a big deal to protect the identity

unfortunately, i think this totally ruined her roomates rep, and I hate to say it, but it will probably tarnish her rep a little too

Unfortunately I think you're right, Jace. :Oh crap

Most hilarious thread eva

Ohh shit.. I'm cracking up.. haha. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

woa is all i gotta say

how rude/selfish/greedy do you have to be to expect some total stranger to send you an expensive gift like an iPod without giving ANYTHING of real value in return?

but hey its the thought that counts right?

like...
I think I should get some fancy stuff from this whole deal, but I dont think the people kind enough to do this for me deserve the same for their generosity.

yuck :mad:

Lola by any chance?

Lee

I am seriously laughing so hard, I have tears in my eyes. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

but now I got that song in my head :helpme

Regards,

Nappy

and another day closer to Christmas and still havnt recieved my gift :disgust :firehair :angrysoap :ak47: :BangBang:

OMFG, this is the funniest thing. The "fauxpod" is classic. I would take his bootleg CD's, and the floppy disk and frame them with the letter, just as a constant reminder how funny (and stupid) people can be. I would put it right next to my desk so I could get a good laugh every morning before work.

I'm back. I had no idea all this was going down. I don't need anyone to send me anything (I am picking out my gay content from Lee though :thumbsup ).

This was the funniest topic at the christmas dinner table this year, so it was all worth it :1orglaugh

Hope you all had a nice holiday.

omg too funny

I know I should be laughing but it is kind of sad. Tala the first year you started secret Santa, I doubt there was a spending limit or gifts wanted. I had fun.

This year the cap of spending was 300.00 which means someone participating in the S.Santa on GFY would mean giving a stranger or an online friend a gift anywhere from a 200.00 to 300.00 gift.

Amazes me that you set the cap so high and your roommate sent bootleg software hoping that he would get an expensive gift.

Anyways don?t give up with secret Santa on GFY but next year put the cap on spending less or around a 100.00 and it will be fun again. :)

holy shit i missed so many thread in the break i took from GFY late 2005

classic :1orglaugh :thumbsup

This has to be the best classic ownage thread ever here. Still geta chuckle when I rmemeber it lol
