USPS is pretty funny. I sent a package to Louisiana. It went to memphis (sounds right), then to shreveport (sounds righter), then to indianapolis (what?). The logistic team over there boggles the mind.

Watch it go to customs and get confiscated!!
+ 52 PMSS points for your effort.

I was dared to wait and I waited as long as I could. I was hoping to be the last one to open but I couldn’t take it anymore. My secret Santa did great. Not only did I get great gifts but also a mystery.

Individually wrapped presents in real wrapping paper not just the brown paper from SP. Also included was an optimistic/ominous message. Im not sure which yet lol.

On the back of the message is a mini cassette. Here is where the mystery comes in… who still has a mini cassette player? Now I’ve got to buy one to find out what the cassette says. Which is what I plan to do.

As far as the gifts: a home run. What fantastic gifts. The rum flake is actually waxed sealed. Not to mention the McCranies, Marlin Flake, FVF from 2020, NOS cases mini meer, and trench lighter, plus some pipe cleaners. What a haul. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much SS. I plan on posting what the message on the cassette says once I listen to it. Merry Christmas and som Besths to all.

Nice! The tape may be one of those “self destructing” types, or just a loop of Mariah…
That McCranies looks as if it will be an amazing blend.
Quite a Som Besths haul!

It’s really incredible. I’m blown away. So thankful.

Great job waiting!

 

[mikethompson]

However I did get the best gift of all. A “virtual” air hug from @woodsroad what more could anyone ask for!!

Higher standards?

 

[Chalaw87]

Great job waiting!

lol it was killing me. And now the mini cassette situation is going to help continue PMSS 2025 cause who knows when I’ll be able to get a cassette player. I love it.

You can smell the fermented reds through the McCranies box. I can’t wait to try it.

 

[Chalaw87]

This is beyond fantastic.

It’s so awesome. I’m blown away. You don’t have a mini cassette player I could borrow do you?

The tape may contain an encoded message to a secret stash of McClelland.

I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid. I'm not sure a thrift store would even have it.

I did receive a generous gift from my Secret Santa. I posted images, and weaved a post modern narrative through it that ultimately had no purpose.

So I actually do have a mini cassette player that last checked still works.

Thank you. That’s why I pay you the big bucks.

You could very well have the last one in existence, or one of the last two.

We are just assuming the SS left a message on that tape, and its just not some random junk drawer find.

Well sir. Please let me know. We may be in business.

Mine died.

I’ve got a working 8 track player. But no mini cassette player. Go figure
