Priority package from overseas? Must be time for Secret Santa! or anthrax.
Solid start
I had listed "Superheroes" as one of my interests, glad an actually hero had me for Secret Santa!
Afghan money, and a quick guide to Basic Combat Training.
Not just one, but TWO Captain America comic books, because America is awesome. Except when our film studios bow to peer pressure from psychotic countries. An amazing gift from a true American hero.
And a shot glass and a hat that says Infidel on it, needless to say I'll be wearing that to all of my Christmas events
Mistruths
...Sony is based in Japan, OP. Within range of NK.
BrucieBogtrotter
You better take a shot of freedom OP.

PSYchr
Send me your address on IM, and I'll send you one too. I'm having fun with this!
LTareyouserious
Currency is an awesome idea.
eastbayrae
What no haji movies from the bazaar or donkey videos??
Aranyszin
@PSYchr - you can be MY secret santa too. Huuuh!
ReptilianViking
Haven't received mine yet. Hope I didn't get a dodgy ass hole. But hey I'm happy that I sent my secret Santa.
andrearghh
Not much of a secret but Im your S.S (def not a dodgy ass hole) Its being shipped from the US so hopefully it wont be much longer! :)
hmtincognito
"Or anthrax" hahahaha...aha..ahhhh
suburbanhyena

Glittershart
When was this secret Santa thing? I had no idea
Marrell
As someone who collects foreign currency for fun, this us the first secret Santa I've been this insanely jealous of.

You guuuuuuuys, you're making me think there's nice people in the world. It's making it hard to be a cynical 22 year old curmudgeon :3
PSYchr
You want Afghan monies? Send me your address in IM and you get Afghan monies. Maybe hat too? I'm feeling all Leeroy Jenkins of a sudden.
Marrell
You're my favourite person in the world right now!!
PSYchr
Heh, the things boredom will let you do...
TellHer
This was worth it all. THIS! RAD.
millMx
dude I want one of those hats!!!
PSYchr
IM me your address (no name, I'll use your imgur handle) and I'll send you one.
yayitsmeagain
Where can I sign up for this for next year? :D or for any holiday for that matter! :D I'm more for the giving than the receiving really. :)
drcoxismyspiritanimal
Somehow, I guess it´s like Fight Club.... I also wanted to be apart of this but apparently nobody wants to share that information....
yayitsmeagain
I know!! :U But lilliendal said to google "Reddit Secret Santa" Because that's where it all went down. Sooo I might do that next year! :D
drcoxismyspiritanimal
Found it! Next year I´ll wish for some glasses, I must be blind as a fucking bat! It all went down on Reddit. Google "Reddit Secret Santa"
yayitsmeagain
Awesome! :D Thanks!!
RudePoots
I signed up for this but never got my message =(
warblgarbl
The arabic writing says "Kafr / Kafir" and means "Sinner".
kinggambit
i speak pashto, from afg, yea it simply means non believer, when referring to afg, its really just a generalization, but can be 1/2
kinggambit
used as a slur, slur meaning, "an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult or damage their reputation", cuz culture
misanthropology
Native Arabic speaker here: *I* think 'infidel' is the closest, but 300 million people speak Arabic, there's bound to be some disagreement..
MrGagoo
And something completely different in Afrikans
angryson
and also means infidel
xord
Means non-Muslim
mermeow
No cause the term technically doesn't include other people of the book (Christians or Jews).
GetInMyBelly
These days it means anyone not muslim. Trust me, i'm a christian from the middle east ;)
mermeow
hence "technically". Muslim from the ME here. Idiots are idiots, and religion can be beautiful regardless of what deity you worship. <3
Zaranthan
His Noodly Appendage has a gentle caress for everyone.
pleasantbiscuit
Actually, it means disbeliever. TMYK...
WindrunnerTheMovie
Yep. This is the correct definition.
PhallusInWonderland
Which sort of have the same meaning. If you're a sinner, you are a disbeliever.
pleasantbiscuit
Not necessarily. I am a firm believer, but due to my human nature I sin time and time again... :-(
andrich2k
Sony is Japanese though, so it's technically not "our" film studio.
ihavethepower12
Awesome!!!....and return home safe @PSYchr
konstatierung
Fuck this. US soldiers are superheroes? Unironic "America is awesome"? Having a laugh at 'infidel'? This is some propaganda-level bullshit.
StarrryNight
*hugs you* It's a cool post. That he was a soldier is a novelty. But aye, please end this propaganda soldiers are super heroes bullshit.
snarkweek3000
I was wondering how far I would have to scroll to find this. Too far :(
GSnake
I agree too!
Merced
Found the SJW
konstatierung
That's a non sequitur. Do you have any reasons why this isn't propaganda-level bullshit?

+1 for badass gifts, +a million for even more badass gift giver.

At first I thought it was about a creature that broke out of the box.

The currency looks so similar to the one in the UAE!
KingoftheIntroverts
That hat is one of the most bad-ass pieces of apparel I've ever seen.
wandergeist
I really, *really* want one.
PSYchr
Send me your address in IM and you'll get one. For realzies. My jimmies has done been russeled.
PSYchr
Folks have been asking, so if you send me your address in IM (no name), I'll send you one. Seriously!
edwardscissorhands
My dad has an infidel hat and wears it proudly! :)
rivetlust
Please don't wear the hat in public. Pretty disgraceful, this coming from a Marine Sergeant.
snarkweek3000
Don't know why you were downvoted. :/
princessbunnie
Thank you for commenting this. That hat is pretty offensive
ListenHereYouLittleShit
Right?! And as a brown person in the US, that would totally get me arrested.
PSYchr
Depends on how you accessorize it...

Someone explain to me how this works. I must've missed that day in class.

Thank you! I got upvotes, but no one explained. :)

I wish I signed up as well.. I didnt even know it was a Thing!
NormanReedusLooksLikeHeWouldBeGoodInBed
Same story here. Even sent an email to the organiser - I was doubly ignored.
bmaximus
same. told me i didn't send him stuff even though i took a screenshot of it.
Glitterfarts
Send an email to me, I'll figure it out.
NormanReedusLooksLikeHeWouldBeGoodInBed
That's nice of you. Thank you. But I've gotten over my disappointment. Just bad luck I think. I'm sure things will run smoother next year
aeyou
I did it last year and never got anything
Istishia
Same here!
Stumbleine
Same. Messaged him to verify my entry and was told he didn't get it, despite that he was replying to the entry message itself.

Aww... that's not right. Nope. I never even saw where to sign up. I wonder who's running the show if it's this unorganized.
TehSnarfSnarf
It was a front page post. Literally probably 20k people did it. And it was done by one person. I got one but it was a letter only.
BootLady
actually their job. You know, they volunteered lots of their free time to do it. Sorry you didn't see anything about it, but it was on 2
BootLady
This comment is kind of rude. The person that ran it did a great job. You know, considering the scale of things and the fact that it's not 1
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
What I found kinda rude was being ignored after following his instructions.
BootLady
the front page. /end
BRDistheword
Me too!
Kittten
I was so excited and messaged him that day but never got a response. T.T

Military mail maybe?
HardonfortheAardvark
A quick reference is too look up FPO/APO.
theunsungzero
The post office in Afghanistan makes you show everything that's in the package before they will accept it. Prevent mailing ammo or such.
PSYchr
Shipped Armed Forces Post Office (APO). Just like using US mail, even got US Postal workers. So no security issues whatsoever.

Made it a we fully hard to send wrapped presents...
