Thanks, _____, _____, ...!

[j]

So yesterday I got a package with a gorgeous new red Baracuta G9 in it. Fok asked me for my address the other day (right around my b-day) so I kinda figured it out, and I was actually able to thank him in person yesterday on his way through town, but he said "a few other people" were involved and he'd tell me who at some point... but obviously not yet, and he's on his way to a place with no Internet or phone for the week. Anyway, thanks other people! It fits great and looks sharp... only problem is now I need to cut my hair or people are going to think I'm always on my way to a James Dean costume contest.

You guys definitely knew what I wanted and I'm sure not a few of you know how unlikely I am (i.e. cheap, err, thrifty) to buy a "real" one unless it's really discounted, so the thought put into it was pretty touching. I'm getting misty over here so I'll stop now. But thanks a lot, it means a lot to me.

This thread is useless without pics. Put down the ice cream, turn off the Oprah, dry those tears, and take one, dammit.

Awesome gesture.

to those involved.

Edited to reiterate the request for fit pic.

Fok screwed up. This was supposed to be a BaracutaxEG collab, so clearly if you like the jacket then it never happened. Normally it's rude to return a gift but in this case it'd be rude not to. And let me be the first to say: This thread is useless without pics. Happy b-day. Edit: the third to say

Props to those nice peeps.

Way ahead of you, little campers...

Yeah, I do need a haircut. Problem is the only other thing my hair will do correctly is "almost none"... I guess that would match the jacket though.
