I think I counted about 11 or 12 people in the other thread who said they'd be down to participate in a treat exchange. This is exactly like Secret Santa, but instead of sending a random gift you have to send something toothsome and delectable, preferrably something exclusive to your region, for your buddy to munch on. For the sake of suspension, it will be secret. :)

PM me your address, along with a sentence or two about what kind of treats you prefer (chocolate, jarred stuff like preserves, cookies, something else, sexual favors, etc) or don't prefer (Hershey's!) and I will start hooking people up.

* Also be sure to verify whether or not you'd be willing to accept something that was made by a Netphorian rather than bought at the store.


Price range for everyone should be between $5-$10, unless you really like your person you're always welcome to spend more :)


The deadline for submitting yourself will be four days from today: Monday, May 14th. After that I'll let everyone know who their person is and we'll set a deadline for sending out your treats.


*** The deadline for sending out treats to your person is
June 15th.***
After that point, if you still have not managed to send even a nibble to your person, you will be considered a loser, a twat and a deadbeat.




(Sorry for the double thread, but after everyone said they're in I thought it would be doubtful for them to search through the 3 pages of digression to find the details on the exchange.)

yum

Mods-- could you sticky this, please?

I like blowjobs and chocolate

eh, I don't really care about the chocolate

If you sticky this thread, I can supply you with both. At the same time.

Mods-- could you sticky this, please?


done.....oh, you mean..nevermind

beat me to it babe! Ok, we're e-together again!

I'm in! I'll PM you when I pick up my lease tomorrow, since I don't know my new address by heart yet. :)

Congrats on the new place, btw!

beat me to it babe! Ok, we're e-together again!
And they say the quickest way to a man is through his heart. Pfft.

If you sticky this thread


but srsly, this is out of my jurisdiction

innie
pm forthcoming

I'm looking forward to this purported blowjob delivery service. They'll probably have to keep the blowjob packages insulated somehow, I don't want me no cold ones.

i know this takes away from this being secret, but i'm in, though only if i exchange with another canadian... preferably another province. i just don't want to get stuck paying for customs. i enjoy lots of things, including licorice and dark chocolate, but i'm not hot for milk chocolate.

man whoever is getting that chocolate blowjob is fucking lucky

im in, ill pm you my crap eventually kimmy

are there going to be rules on cost? or on whether something is packaged or homemade? is it strickly local speciality sorts of things?
i need guidelines, can't work without em.

oh, and no strawberry shit

No rules on cost, spend whatever you're comfortable spending.

It can be either packaged or homemade-- I think it's preferrable if it's packaged, unless you're into making your own stuff already, like LSD and her jam! Or Brady's 'rents and their apple butter.

Not strictly local specialty sorts, but I'm sure everyone would appreciate a little creativity, i.e., try not to send something anyone could go and pick up at the cornerstore, like a Hershey's bar or somethin'.

:)

agreed!

Hmm, I'm for it.

I think I might go for this. I like candy.

agreed!

thats for next years Netphoria Drug Exchange

and yeah, i'm in







for both

no rules! so many options! oh man

i wonder how many people end up dead after this exchange

Can it be something sugar free? On account of the you-know-eatus.

sign me up.

What do you mean if there is an odd amount of people? Are people getting paired up so if I have Dave, Dave has me? Thats the only reason you need an even amount of people. And I don't want Dave, he's a cocknibbler.

And Nimrod is not allowed in this. The man has no integrity with these things.

whoever gets me please lace my treat with acid ive never experienced a non prescription high. :(

I don't know what I meant. I think I was on crack when I wrote that. People aren't getting paired up. I'm straight up mentally ill!

You need brainulingus.

This is going to be TOTALLY FUCKED just like how everything else ends up being.

The idea of a netphorian sending something to me in the mail doesn't seem very safe at all.

i could send somebody shroom chocolate.

i think that's somewhat unique to my region

it's too expensive though.

I want to exchange treats with brady.

I want to exchange treats with brady.

we all know you mean bodily fluids

If shes willing, sure.

too bad, you had me at cocknibbler

I'd actually join, and i'm sure i could find some kickass "unique" things over here, but shipping to taiwan is a bitch, and i still haven't figured out how to use the postoffice here.

I guess if you're going to participate, you should let people know if you've got freaky food allergies or you really hate things.

I hate raisins with a passion.

Mmmm homemade LSD... you can send me some of that!

Yes, please.

breAK ME off a piece of this thread! im in.

The idea of a netphorian sending something to me in the mail doesn't seem very safe at all.
That's why it's preferred if it's a packaged good, unless you're someone who can be trusted, like LSD or Bardy. I wouldn't accept anything that wasn't sealed from someone, like say, Julio or Alex Douchele.

This is going to be TOTALLY FUCKED just like how everything else ends up being.
Only if we let people of questionable integrity participate. Which we're not.

This is a treat lover's exchange, so if only treat lovers participate, then everything should go smoothly. So far everyone who has PMed me their address is someone I would count on enough to make myself their person.

Oh yeah, that reminds me-- who's Dave? And why is he a cocknibbler? And is he available to be hired by the hour?

Dave is me you two-timing whore!

Oh my God your name isn't Travis.

You lying sack of shit !

So... cocknibbler, eh? :smoke:

eat sack

:blush:

i'm in! but fair warning: i'm sending bugs.

Are you really? <_<

Um, am I considered ok enough to send non canned shit?

I don't know Esty, are you? ;)











Just kidding. I'd eat something you made.

I think more important than people being deemed "safe" to send non-prepackaged goods, is people verifying whether or not they'd be willing to accept a non-prepackaged good from their person.

i know im new so my integrity is probably questionable, but if you need more people id be happy to send something :)

Are you really? <_<

hell yeah, i am. you ain't gonna get something this good for another 17 years. TAKE ADVANTAGE.

i'm in! but fair warning: i'm sending bugs.

Chocolate covered bugs? Cause I find that kind of stuff neat. :smoke:

I spoke to a farmer today at the market, and he told me the local strawberries should be out in about 2 weeks. So I guess anytime after 2 weeks from now I can make jam. :D

What goes into your jam, LSD? I mean, besides shards of glass. Just so I make sure I don't give you to someone who has allergies or dietary needs, etc.

Strawberries, pectin, sugar, lemon juice. That's it. I have one jar leftover from last year, but that's for me! Me!
I make a similar jam with raspberries, but those are going to be really really painfully expensive this year, the weather hasn't been good for raspberries.

Chocolate covered bugs? Cause I find that kind of stuff neat. :smoke:


cicadas, to be specific!

i think i found my treat exchange partner.

I will be involved. But if you get me you are probably getting something grown in Fresno or some home made pickles or apple butter. I probably shouldnt get LSD then cause she already got pickles!!! unless she wants more.

I want those, can I get brady if she oks it?

I really want to try that apple butter stuff.

The last two netphorians to send me stuff were Brady and Esty. How do you like that, Esty?

Its a sign that brady and I are meant to be.:love:

the only treat that you Ameriphorians can offer me is accomodation in your fine homes

yeah sign me up then

'Member, guys-- tomorrow is the last day to PM me your address and be officially counted in on the exchange. Tuesday I hand out assignments to everyone.

:cheers: :rockon: :bananamac :sexors: :banoonoo: :chili:

Kimmmmmmmmmy do I send you my new address? I'm a disorganized freak.

is this thread about sex? i dont have time to read it

Kimmmmmmmmmy do I send you my new address? I'm a disorganized freak.
No you didn't!

I also don't have Caine Walker's address, who said he'd like to participate. And also a couple other people that I can't remember. twilightfadez was one of them.

do you have mine?

Yes!

Okay, count me in.
And I'd gladly "accept" anything self-made.

i want to get home made stuff, i think that' be great, but Dan would be really paranoid about it I think.. :( i'd love to send out some of my oatmeal cookies and banana bread.. but i doubt the bread would travel well

I found my new address, let's see what you freaks are going to send.

Actually it seems like all the weirdos that would put arsenic in your food aren't participating.

it's true, only those of us with enough sense to send plastic explosives are participating.

*just kidding. really.

i want to get home made stuff, i think that' be great, but Dan would be really paranoid about it I think.. :( i'd love to send out some of my oatmeal cookies and banana bread.. but i doubt the bread would travel well


it would if you sent it to me!!!

true!

Okay, everyone should have their person by now!

Since it seems like a lot of people are in the process of moving or going on trips or involved in some other transitional stage of their life, I will set the deadline for sending out your treats to be one month from today,

June 15th!



Also, I think Mo is just about the most pleasant person I've ever corresponded with over the internet! :)

that's three days before my birthday! wootwoot. :Pakula:

It's also the day of my anniversary! double woot woot :Pakula:

is it ok to contact the person i'm sending to?

No! It should be s-s-s-s-s-seeeeecret!

Hey I never got my person. I wanted to exchange my treats with brady.:(

just a reminder, i don't like strawberry stuff, but i enjoy most things including licorice.

Hey I never got my person. I wanted to exchange my treats with brady.:(
You never sent me your address-- you just sent me a PM saying you were in, but the deadline for sending addresses was clearly stated as Monday. Sorry, Esty. Maybe you and Brady can do a trade on the side.

hey where's my person?

You never sent me your address before the deadline, either. No address, no person! Come on guys, get with it.

kimmy I have no idea what to get the person you gave me :angry:

kimmy you screwed me on purpose! i sent you a pm!

this is outrageous.

It's not outrageous at all.

Bardy, I'll send you a PM.

I can't believe you. :(

My person will never know it's me. :cool:

damn I missed out on this, maybe next round i'll get in on it, I would have loved to send someone far off some of our great louisiana treats, we got some good food ummm um

is it illigal to mail wine? how would one go about doing this?
then, i'm not sure of the age of my person, so hrm..

yes plz.

is it illigal to mail wine? how would one go about doing this?
then, i'm not sure of the age of my person, so hrm..

the winery I wanted to buy from wouldnt mail out of the US and to some states. I dont know if the out of country thing is a law but i am assuming its illegal to ship wine to some states. I tried the http://www.ferraricarano.com winery f you want to look at what states they cant ship to. i guess if you bought it and packaged it that noone woudl be the wiser if you did.

is it illigal to mail wine? how would one go about doing this?
then, i'm not sure of the age of my person, so hrm..

I think you can ship within national borders.
Once a year I order a case of 12 bottles from a vineyard I like in B.C. and they ship it across the country for me.

Hey guys, we almost have more replies than the other sticky thread. TREATS vs. AVATARS

Here's what I found simply by Googling "shipping wine":

A bottle for my mother
By Jim Clarke

I could go to jail for sending my mom a bottle of wine for her birthday. She lives in Florida, and if I wrap it up and hand it over to UPS, Florida law says I could face up to five years in prison- the same sentence a burglar could receive. Similarly, since I live in New York, there are several wines I had while visiting Sonoma that I probably won’t be able to buy again until my next visit to California. They are from small wineries that don’t have distributors outside the state, and shipping wine to individuals in Florida, New York, and twenty-four other states is illegal.




Seems pretty crappy. Like someone else said (bardy I think?) you could always wrap it up super good and no one would be the wiser, but I'm not sure I'd want to risk it. :erm:





I went window shopping for my person today. I'll be sending it off by next week :)

well poop. it was a nice idea i guess!

i'm having trouble thinking of things that are special here and not elsewhere. i want my package to be really neat!

Hey ammy, I got a PM from the person who's sending to you saying they were at a loss for ideas of what to get for you-- it seems what you dislike is just what they like! I know you gave a lot of specifics on what you don't want (which was greatly appreciated!), but could you give a few words on the kind of stuff you're likely to gorge on? and I'll direct your secret treater back to this thread :)

lol, well i love chocolate, and almonds and hazelnut and pecans, an brownies.. uhm breads... cakes.. hard candy... jellies, cheeses.. just about everything (but the dark chocolate, macadamia nuts and truffles :-x)


i feel like the picky one now!

Thanks ammy!

And, well, better to be the picky one than the one that will stuff their face with anything that comes within an arm's reach away... Like me :blush:

i kinda wish my person was more specific than "anything!"
i think I'll go for a walk on the warf tomorrow - do some window shopping

Haha, you sure like rules, don't you ammy? ;)

Yeah, I noticed quite a few people said they were up for anything. I hope they really meant that! I'd hate for anyone to be disappointed with their treats.

i need guidelines! i must be told what to do! i have no mind of my own

Yeah, I noticed quite a few people said they were up for anything. I hope they really meant that! I'd hate for anyone to be disappointed with their treats.
i'm just very open for discoveries, and i guess this is the point of this exchange. at least for me. as long as it's not strawberry-flavored. it's my only guilty fussiness about candy and dessert.

hey and fuck raisins, too.

What'd raisins ever do to you? I guess they're pretty nasty in candy, but they're sooo yummy in oatmeal!

I would have sent something off this weekend ...

But it was raining on Saturday and we were fiending for a treat, so we ate it :erm:

From what I understand, a lot of us are having that same problem! Haha. The unforeseen flaw in the treat exchange. Blessed are the ones that were paired with someone who has opposing tastes, I guess.

If someone gets a package from VA in the next week or so it's from me.

Uhhh... Yeah. If someone gets a package that says it contains toys, don't get too excited. I'm a dumbass. I meant to pack some dino dudes I made just for the occasion and didn't realize I hadn't actually packed them until I got home from the post office. I get the absent minded award for the day.

My person isn't getting anything till June. Sorry.

But it will be tasty!

s. tasty?

I'll only sign up if I can mail (an) anthrax (mix tape)

got the first half of my treat for my person! i had to drive up to my mom's for it. it's THAT special.
granted, i was coming up here anyway...

yeah okay half of mine took a bit of time to find becuase apparently it's discontinued but it should go out tomorrow

i reeaaallly need to get my done.

To whoever has me: I'm moving this Friday, so it's safe to send any time now.

Mine might have to wait a bit, cause strawberries still aren't in season yet and we only have stuff from California. Or I just might have to change what I'm sending.

http://forums.netphoria.org/wwwboard/icons/icon11.gif I have just received my treat package and netphoria, I am astounded at the generosity of my treat sender. I should post a photo of the size of the box. It was even subdivided into separate compartments to ensure intact delivery of each treat. Oh yes, this wasn't just one treat, but a veritable cornucopia of delectables.

I may have to refer to netphoria as lovephoria from now on. :love:

My treat[s] will go out on Friday.

patience, patience, everyone.

I went candy shopping today and bought sweets worth about 80 bucks; three Netphorians will have to watch out for caries more than before pretty soon.

Holy shit, Mr. Moneybags over here ^ !!

Holy shit, Mr. Moneybags over here ^ !!

Ha, no - it's just payday. ;)

How many paydays can you buy for 80 bones?

how about sharing some shipping tips?
is it me or is canada an expensive place to ship from?

oh p.s. mine shipped out earlier this week but it might take a week or two to get there =/

how about sharing some shipping tips?
is it me or is canada an expensive place to ship from?
International shipping always seems alarmingly expensive to me. The only time it hasn't been a punch in the wallet was when I mailed mercurial some dino dudes and it cost less to send that than it did to mail my mom, who lives 3 hours away, a birthday card and box of tempura mix. :erm:

PSA: Colossal vegan chocolate chip cookies are yummy.

I thought i was going to be part of this :erm:

I GUESS NOT.

International shipping always seems alarmingly expensive to me.
that takes away a lot of the pleasure of going 'hey i'll send some maple syrup since it's so cheap here.' yeah not so cheap once you check the post office. and i scratch my head trying to decipher if their customs will tax it.

I'm removing this as a sticky.

I hope that someone lets me know when they receive my package!!

I thought i was going to be part of this :erm:

I GUESS NOT.

yeah, me too. someone was getting chocolate covered cicadas from me. but the damn things never came out around here! :(

so i got a package in the mail. licorice jawbreakers are heaven!

also got some liquorice pontefract cakes, a lovely organic gingerbread ladybug, butter cream candies and black cherry pop made in burlington.

thank you alison! and i'm really sorry to have imposed upon you that i wanted to get my treat from another canadian. this is all well-chosen stuff.

i'm actually going to toronto next week-end! my best friend has been living there for a couple months and i'd rather visit him for his birthday than have another meaningless st-jean-baptiste celebration.

I haven't sent mine yet, but my person knows. I suck.

this is my week off, ill get mine done this week.

licorice jawbreakers

Yowza!

damnit. I'm sending mine tomorrow.

i sent mine! haha! i hope the cookies are still good when they get there :( man mailing stuff is expensive.

crap. i'm sending it out tomorrow.

are we all posting what we get?

are we all posting what we get?


A dark chocolate caramel bar
A dark chocolate almond bar
A milk chocolate almond butter bar
A colossal vegan chocolate chip cookie
A bag of natural doritos
A jar of undoubtedly delicious jam which I will soon open


Am I forgetting something? :think: It was all so delicious, it makes me dizzy thinking about it.

are we all posting what we get?
not sure, just wanted to let her know i got it and appreciated all of it

i sent mine! haha! i hope the cookies are still good when they get there :( man mailing stuff is expensive.


I know! Mine was twenty bucks! Mamma mia. All in the good name of TREATS, though!

I'm glad this thread got bumped... No pressure on the folks who've mentioned time and again that they're in the process of moving... I'm sure we can all understand that kind of summertime stress.

And licorice jawbreakers sound mindbogglingly amazing. I'm googling them right now.

My dude and I are making jam on Friday. So it should be sent out over the weekend, unless we can't find good berries on Friday.

Someone knocked on the door today while I was going pee... It was the mailman with treeeeats! I haven't tried any of it yet-- I'm trying to hold off so I can take all the goodies with me on our big camping trip this weekend, but it all looks so delicious. Nut bars, the biggest bar of butter crunch I've ever seen, caramel spread (mamma mia!), maple syrup and homemade cookies. Yum x10000.

I think I'll get everyone around the campfire and see just how gross these "musks" are :)

mine should have arrived by now but i can't find the tracking number :( i hope he got it

I went camping and we took pictures of everyone chowing down on the fresh from the oven ginger snap cookies my person sent me. These are for you :)

Attention bardy: I have successfully completed the jam making process. Your package should be shipped early next week. :)

You have a choice of jams:
Strawberry raspberry jam
Blackberry cherry jam

I think the strawberry one is a bit sweeter, and I think it turned out a bit better, but it's up to you. :)

strawberry! strawberry! :)
