If you frequent the threads, please don't spam your list number, once per thread is good enough. Just because you've posted your list doesn't mean someone will purchase you a gift. It's random how Anons will choose who to buy for, but please take a look through some of the lists and see if there's anyone/thing you want to gift.

To share a list click on “Send lists to others” in the top right of the wishlist, then click “View only”. If you use the “View and Edit” Anyone using that code will be able to add and remove items from you list.

We started at the start of November. So it's like 2.5 months in lockdown.

SORRY!!!!

Search for your list in the archives, most post that "Hey You can take XZXZXZXZXZX from the ungifted!" and so they deserve a little thanks even if a year later.

I was waiting to see the new thread. Got a gift in the mail, thanks to whoever sent it!
I was practically raised on Poe thanks to my English teacher mother. She had a book like this one and I've been eyeing it for some time now to bring back those old memories. Macabre illustrations mixed with some of Poe's finest, what more could you want?

Why don't files open to full size within posts anymore?

The dystopia will continue unless we stop their cheating in our elections.

I guess today is my attempt at finally fixing my sleep pattern, maybe ill have a full week of waking up at a normal time instead of 7pm... In other news I bought a copy of Crackers off ebay and I plan on streaming it at some point in the near future. So now a long forgotten christmas movie will end up being seen once again, hopefully its its decent or at least so bad its good.

Glad to see it got to you swiftly and safely. The illustrations look beautiful, I'm going to need to pick up a copy of it sometime. That penguin is horrific and I so wish to see it close up and on a big screen, one day... GDT is such an amazing director and storyteller. My favourite movie is Pacific Rim, but movies like Pans labyrinth and The Shape of Water are just so fucking amazing to behold, the love and care he puts into his work is astounding and he deserves to be let loose on new projects

I feel you brother, went into lockdown july 8th and didnt come out of it till the 28th of october. Even had a curfew in place. People went nuts, BUT we have been at 0 new or active cases and 0 deaths for 40 days now. You'll come out of it in a better place, hopefully

I'm not even in America. These elections have nothing to do with me.

Alright, I'm here to answer questions before your God Scribs comes and saves you all.

May also be making party mix for the missus and I. So forgive the speed.

It's Day 2 of Crypto Prize Puzzle #2!!

The rules are simple. These are replacement puzzles that are concealing a Christmas quote/reference/lyric. While some of my puzzles are very difficult, I try to build all of them to break down with one or two good assumptions.

Solve it faster than anyone else to win a fabulous prize! When you solve the puzzle, spoiler the solution so that people who want to keep playing can do so. Include your wishlist so that I can reward you. One prize per wishlist.

Open the image to see the puzzle!
Oh, and have fun!

We have curfew as well but there is no economical help from the goverment, bills are running, no jobs, a few hundred cases in my city each day. It's fucking tough.

Pastebins are updated, we're at 114 registered and 78 gifted

>God Scribs comes and saves you all

At least you're not under any delusion that your puzzles are ultimately for anyone else.

Financial help is something I've lucked out on, and seeing how others countries have handled their "economies" during this pandemic is really eye opening, it sucks that governments will put you in such a shitty position because they truly do not care about their own people. I hope you're doing alright and I really hope your government wisens up and help you and the populace, no one deserves to be left behind in times like these.

odd thread post and one last post before sleep

i asked about country traditions in the last odd thread but this time i'll ask, what family traditions do you guys have at christmas?

for me i don't really remember when it started but we always seem to sync with the start of the queens speech starts with a marathon of watching all 3 Wallace & Gromit short movies

They won't. If they would I would be much better. Like, don't even give us money but pay some bills and such. I have no money and I'm leeching off my parents and I feel even worse. Fuck all that shit.
