I responded in the last thread, I'll let SHEOL respond as well when he gets a chance, he was dealing with a neighbors plumbing issue today but let me repost as the thread had "died' when I hit send
It looks like that English language one was done for a BBC broadcast, it may have been a limited license for that year or for say 5 years and that was in the days if folks saved something, we're talking VHS. So maybe no one saved it for pirates to find it today.
Sorry but I think you are SOL, my good man.
Start one of those petitions on line and post it on a few tweets and @ some folks maybe? I remember you asking before and now that I see the original on line, I see that others have asked about it and I remember seeing it elsewhere mentioned.

Man, I wanna take part, but, I cant reciprocate gifts. Got laid off last month, and I gotta get everyone else gifts first

Here's a one pager from the 2018 Mickey and Donald's Christmas Parade, another reprint/translation, this time from Finland in 1992, written by Gorm Transgaard with art duties by Daniel Branca
I miss the times when people weren't able to solve situations like these with a mobile phone
Thomas Ortiz
Don't forget to check out klaus if you haven't already. Co does an annual storytime just don't know when. New hardcover in January. Not sure if we're getting a new story this December.
So I'm switching TV channels and stumble upon TDK. I forgot how good it is
Jonathan Long
Reminder the puzzle is still up! ====Hint===== There are 25 days of Advent, this calendar should help keep track. Of course something about it is off and you know I can't take that back. So put on Bing Crosby, toss a log in the fire, and hurry up to solve my puzzle, unless you think I'm a liar! Box 1 - mega.nz/file/RphnWShJ#JAfoskoxsKSB98uXRL4Q24Fo1Pw6cDKJtOHE7kLa0Xo ====End Hint====

I was going to respond to this with a witty comment about retro shooter TDK 2 but I am now struggling to find any proof of exists, I hope I haven't shifted universes that would suck
It's cliche but I really don't like sprouts, and I would definitely eat lots in blankets all year round.
Kevin Cruz
I wasn't sure whether or not I'd like Invader Zim nowadays compared to when I was a kid, but this is a good excuse to try it again. Thanks user! Says it's Region 4, but it'll probably be fiiiine.
Previous CHEER thread if any wants to easily reference it: Good luck with that!
Yeah 1992. I mean, I guess he doesn't even wear pants, but why not just post a sign. Seems like less work and his cap stays dry!
Noah Reyes
There was a game I use to play with a friend which was an fps, it had a cool his where you could see the bullets going down the down the sides of the screen into your gun, I'm sure it was called TDK and I know it got a sequel but I am struggling to actually find it online
Benjamin Young
derp, knew I would forget something
Josiah Foster
I would love to eat more turkey, or Pork chop in chile (Pierna en chile)
THESE FUCKING THINGS CAN BURN IN HELL
In 1992 you could've killed someone with a cellphone.
I hear fruit cake is awful but I don't think I've ever really had or been offered it.
And I know some people will consider it sinful but I don't get egg nog. Even with whiskey. Seems like a waste of perfectly good whiskey!
I'm not sure there's anything that counts as true Christmas food that I would want other times of the year. Stuffing is definitely more of a holiday thing and I don't think of making it year round but I could see eating it more often.
And I don't think of sprouts as holiday related. Or tamales, which is some sort of Latin American tradition. So no clue.
Caleb Russell
Do you mean MDK?
William Clark
I eat Turkey all the time year round. Often ground turkey but I've turkey breast in mole.
Redpill me on Pork Chops in chili - is that just pork in a sauce?
Alexander James
Yes! Thank you! I'm not going crazy I'm just remembering the box wrong
Kevin Cook
Oh good, the other gift got in! I really hope you like Zim, it's a great little series! Hopefully the region won't matter but if it does let me know!
I can't make heads or tails of anything on the calendar, so at this point I'm just wondering if the Crosby/log/liar parts are relevant to the puzzle at all, or just Christmas fluff.
Nicholas Rogers
It's a weird thing to get hung up on, but I hope I get a thank you for the gift I bought. I shouldn't expect it, but it'd be nice knowing someone liked what I picked out
Lincoln Thompson
not the zim user but with dvd it generally doesn't matter and most can have region unlocked from a simple googling, it's blu-ra you want to be careful of tho
Matthew Wood
We dont breed turkeys as much here, but we make guajolote soup from time to time.
Technically, yes, you prepare the pork leg for the oven and you make adobo sauce with chile ancho. Bathe the thing in the sauce,cook for 1 hours/2 pounds and check that it doesnt get too dry in there.
It's also always nice to know things have arrived safely, you can never be too sure. Italy user from the first thread should have had this gift from me by now but he hasn't popped back to confirm
Jaxon Powell
Use Southern Comfort instead. It's not not much of a waste, and adds a nice caramel flavor.
I love me some stuffing and green bean casserole.
I get funny looks with I turn down yam and sweet potato dishes.
Camden Cooper
Oh sweet both MDK games are on GoG, that's my present to myself sorted
Eli Gomez
What counts as Christmas food? I feel like there's not especially dishes that are associated with Christmas outside of something like fruitcake.
