Here's a picture of the whole haul, same two cats in the background, not a single fuck being given. I even tried shaking the tissue paper at them. Nope.

So my mind was seriously blown by this, but as I'm trying to regain my mental faculties, I start wondering about the book. See, there's no note in the box. The name on the box is first initial and last name. I wonder...maybe it's a favorite book? Maybe it was on my Goodreads "to read" list? But it wasn't. Then I thought, maybe it's not another gift, maybe it's a message. In the Internet Ancient Times, back in the days of Gonads and Strife and Drudge dancing and taking off every Zig I was a Morlock. themorlocks.com is super defunct now, though you can still see the front page in the Internet Wayback Machine. I flipped through the book and there wasn't a note or anything. So now I'm wracking my brains based on the last name and address to figure out if I know my Santa, or knew him (I admit I'm assuming a "him" based solely on the writing of the address on the box) back in the day. But the thing is, I didn't know EVERYONE's last names. Santa, does Bomberman mean anything to you? Mega Man? Did I ever send you a parcel of meat? :D I'm trying to think of people I knew who lived in that area, against a list of people whom it could not be (since I know their names) and some who may have but I'm not 100% sure. But since it's been you know, a decade, maybe they moved there from some other area of the country, in which case I'm never going to figure it out, but I feel SO BAD not being able to figure this out considering the COMPLETELY BADASS GIFT you sent me.

 

I have also considered the possibility that The Time Machine is just a book, it doesn't mean anything, or maybe it means something else, like maybe the person's forum avatar has something to do with it and my Santa has never heard of Lum the Mad or ever went through a period of time with a kitchen appliance with evil eyebrows for an avatar (I had an EvilStandMixer for a while) and it's just a coincidence or it's just nothing and I'm just seriously overthinking this in which case I'll be quite embarrassed.

 

Well, either way, thank you SO much, mysterious Santa! This is completely awesome. <3 And I'll keep thinking on it, unless you want to reveal yourself. But I think my husband is going to get annoyed with me if I spend any more time fine tuning this post and trying to reverse stalk you (nice looking house, btw). In fact he just came in and said to me "are you ever going to be done with what you're doing?" Soooo I better go.
