Haha, this is fantastic. My cat would probably poke at it for a few minutes, and then when it scurries off, he'd meow for half an hour because he can't find it anymore. And then go puke somewhere. I love him.

Ok, whomever has their LPC Secret Santa gifts and still hasn't opened them yet, lets crack those suckers open!

I opened mine a few hours ago. I would like to thank AQ for the scarf made from the mouse pelts from the past year's catching.

I can't wait to wear the Mr. Miracle shirt out and let my nerdiness hang out for all to see especially when I am rolling my new d10s and beating kids with Chinese checkers. Also included were 2 MTG packs. I hope hoff didn't use up his luck opening up those clix boosters with chases in them.

The jerky looks real interesting and will be sampling it sometime over break.

Thanks a ton!

Opened my SS gift. Dude - you went above and beyond!

1. A lovely letter.
2. The Game of Things... (very much looking forward to playing this on game night)
3. 12 Jolly Rancher Candy Canes (my wife already stole one)
4. Doctor Strange #4! Yes! Very much needed.
5. An official Latveria t-shirt. I didn't know this existed. I don't know how you found it. Amazing. Love it.

Great job secret santa!!!

Merry Christmas, LPC!

The poop on us, everyone!

The poop on us, one and all.

ugh, back at work, the poop on me...

It's too soon!!! TOO SOON!!!!!!

I just had some cereal this morning, so I'll be pooping soon. Thankfully, work is slow today.

So I'm over the top about Christmas because like 80% of my mother's family has died between Thanksgiving and MLK. Generally every other Christmas for my entire life has been marred by tragedy. This year we had two very shocking, unexpected, and tragic deaths though off season but still Christmas had a bit of a sad undertone this year. Hence me being incredibly over the top this year about Christmas.

So last night, the evil Christmas spirits did their best to kill me and my Aunt, but we survived. I'm walking with my aunt to her car, which is two blocks away down a busy street in my hometown. She's a larger lady with a bad knee, in her 70's, and walks with her cane. Walks, that is, until she tumbles and skips basically into the street and falls prone in the dark in the fudging street all the way to god damn center line. It's dark, it's a hill road that people take too quickly. I had to run into traffic and basically charge an SUV to get it to swing into the other lane before it ran her over and before it clipped me. We both should be dead. It missed me by inches. If another car was coming the other direction, we'd all be dead. I then found out that my 70ish aunt who lives alone lacks the strength to get up after a fall on her own. She she crawled, injured and out breath back to the curb. I had to hoist her over and onto the sidewalk. So there we sat until she caught her breath. We're about a block from parent's house. I called home with my cell (I couldn't leave her alone as its a rough neighborhood) and had my family bring me a heavy wrought iron kitchen chair. With her help, I was able to get her into the chair and after a break, she could get back up. She refused to let me go home with her (she lives literally a few blocks from parent's) so as she left, I jogged thru the ghetto already an inch from having a heart attack myself in the cold without a coat to the back alley behind her house. I hid in the dark behind her neighbor's trash cans and watched her get in her house safely. As soon as the door shut, I then jogged back to my parent's house while she was calling there to say she got in safely.

She's fine this morning, only bruised and sore. I'm mentally still pretty shaken from the whole experience. Had we both been killed in traffic last night, that would've been really fudging terrific for an already cruddy 2017. But we didn't. Screw you, evil Christmas Spirits.

Merry Christmas.

Yikes. Yeah, I'm ready for 2017 to be over as well. Stay safe, y'all.

I got another paper cut today. My 3rd in less than 3 weeks. It bled a little.
But holy crap, your story was genuinely stressful. What the ####! Lucky it didn't turn into a worse story. Glad you are okay!

Man, that’s super messed-up! I hope you’re OK, Hoff! That stuff’s nothing to joke about!

Good(?) job the neighbour (or somebody else) didn't mistake you for a burglar & shoot you!
