Pics in a bit.....


thanks Price! YOU ROCK! PS I waited till a nice toasty state to open, and the laughing commenced upon opening! (The foam used to wrap the stuff with is hysterical)

in a word



TEXAS

Merry Christmas, and thanks again Price!
you need to wear that hat where ever you go. The shirt is a LBS around here. I would have found you a beer recipe like you asked for, but me being 17, I wouldn't know where to go about doing that. Hope you enjoy.

right on! You did real well considering my anemic list! I had no idea what to ask for, yet you did well none the less!


The hat is fvcking hysterical! I was wearing it while watching TV/drinking beer. When Bek came home she was like "WHAT THE...... and Emma wanted to take it from me and wear it! thanks for the T-shirt. I'd like to start collecting them from other bike shops, your shirt is early on in the collection thanks! And yes I used the glass last night (its a Texas sized glass :thumb:)

No word of mine yet, but we had a pretty crazy snow storm that shut down the city for a few days, so I'll give it a few more days -- I'm sure the shipping companies have a ton of stuff to catch up on.

Tigg I contacted your SS. I would find it hard to believe that this SS didn't send it. However I have PM'ed him and I am waiting for a response.

Bldr_DH, I think you may be right about the snow.

Haha -- got a PM from my SS. Thanks Zman! I'm sure I made a fool of myself in the reply. I could've sworn the message said, "I'm a friend of your SS", so I replied asking Zman to thank my SS, but alas it was "I am your SS."

w00t!!! :banana: Got my gifts yesterday!!! (As if there was ever any doubt! :p ) Reflux came through in a big way with some of these for those chilly day/night rides... :thumb:



He also sent along a really cool little Heineken pilsner glass (10oz.?) that was in a tin. I can't be sure (and can't find a piture of it on the interweb), but it looks like it might have actually come from the Heineken Brewery in Amsterdam as there are references on the tin about taking the brewery tour. I collect beer glasses of all sorts so that is a very cool addition!!! :thumb: :thumb:

Thanks Andrew!!! :)

lots of stuff
I'm glad you liked (and rec'd...) the package. Wrt to the glass, yes, it is from across the pond. Several of them were gifted to me a few years back, and a couple extras were sitting in a box in my apartment. Hehe, they do no good sitting in a box.

So are you admitting to "Re-gifting"?

Good question. Hmm...I guess it all depends on one's definition of re-gifting. I associate the term with re-gifting crap, namely something as worthless as a keeper ring on Paris Hilton (sweaters, etc). The Heini beer glass that Tigg received however, is a pretty cool deal imo. It's a glass given to tour attendees at the Heini beer factory in Holland. After all, a gift that has been re-gifted is (more than likely) destined to be gifted again several more times throughout its lifetime, but Tigg's glass is new and has probably found its permanent home.

So, your answer? A definite maybe.

So is it safe to assume that everybody received their gifts this year?

If so that is awesome and I'm uber happy that this thing went off without a hitch!

Thanks to everybody who joined and I'll be looking forward to doing this all again next year.

A Huge thanks to you Stosh - it is really great of you to coordinate this every year!!!!
It's not really a big deal, I've got a system down. The hardest part is sending out all the e-mails once I make the pairs.
