Ack! So that means that Bubs, Commander Other, Germaine Gregarious and Mathman6293 didn't get a present! Have no fear, Dr. Monkerstein and I were prepared for just such an emergency. We went and got gifts for all of the people that didn't get presents!

For Bubs we got this keen supervillian escape vehicle, just like Ernst Stavros Blofeld uses! Guaranteed to be used as a convenient reason to show up in the sequel!

For Commander Other we got this great Atomic Energy Lab, so he can experiment with the local flora and fauna. Atomic Energy Labs like this were used to create giant monsters in many vintage horror and science fiction films!

We got Germaine Gregarious a m-14a pulse rifle (with ammo), just like Ripley's! Just the thing to have around the house in case of "emergencies."

For Mathman6293 we got this swell ENIAC pocket calculator! Everybody knows that when it comes to computers, size is everything. Mark my words, I predict that octal-base radio tubes and thermionic valves will make a big comeback this year!

And for all of those that signed up but forgot to get a present for their Secret Santa partner, we got this nifty lump of coal crafted in the shape of the loofah that is permanently lodged in Bill O'Reilly's lower intestine. ~~I'm not naming names, except to say this whole thing was Germaine Gregarious' idea, and she is one of the bloggers that signed up and forgot to get a present for her Simian Secret Santa partner!~~

UPDATE: Germaine Gregarious' Secret Santa gift has arrived stylishly late.

UPDATE: Bubs has gotten a great Secret Santa gift for Germaine Gregarious.

UPDATE: Devilham has gotten a swell Secret Santa gift for Mathman.

Randal Graves: But of course! Here is an Atomic Energy Lab just for you.

Dr. Monkerstein: Yes! And thank you doctor, for all of your hard work on this project as well. I could not have done it without you!

Private Hudson: Details, details! At lease I got the right ammo.

Wyldth1ng: Indeed!

At Sat Dec 29, 07:48:00 PM, Fran said...: A lump of coal? I thought this might be some thinly veiled attempt at further humiliating my beloved iSplotchy!
At Sun Dec 30, 06:17:00 AM, Dr. Zaius said...: Germaine Gregarious: Very good. What a great gift!

Pidomon: Thanks for playing!

Dr. Monkerstein: Well, it's possible that it accidently ended up in Devilham's spam folder or something. At least Mathman got a present! Or Devilham could create a gift late, like Ms. Gregarious did. Mr. Devilham?

Chris: Thank you, Chris!

FranIAm: I am not sure that is even possible to further humiliate iSplotchy.
At Sun Dec 30, 10:27:00 AM, Angry Ballerina said...: Oh sure, don't get anything for the Jew.

I see how it is.
At Sun Dec 30, 11:57:00 PM, Joe said...: What a great deal, I made out like a bandit!

I got great stuff from Germaine Gregarious AND i got a cool escape vehicle!

And I finally gave my presents to Germaine as well. Just thought you should know.
At Tue Jan 01, 05:20:00 AM, Dr. Zaius said...: angry ballerina: You didn't sign up, my dear. I am reminded of a st0ry about Evil Spock:

Evil Spock was a fervent believer in prayer. Every day, two or three times a day he would ask God to please let him win the lottery. Ten years went by and Joe did not win the lottery.

One day in his prayers he called out to God, saying, "Lord, I know you answer prayers I've seen it happen in many people's lives. You have answered my prayers for other people but for ten years now I've been praying to win the lottery and I've not won a thing in all that time, I've not even received a sign."

"Evil Spock," God answered back, "you have been a good and faithful servant and I would love to reward you with winning the lottery, but you are going to have to at least buy a ticket."

Bubs: Ha! What a great present! You know, I could use a little help around the office as well...
At Tue Jan 01, 11:30:00 AM, Devilham said...: I put together a little something for Mathman, so I hope all is well, stop by 'The Attic and check it out. Dr. Monkey, I am certain you sent it, of that there is no doubt, I just don't know why it didn't get recieved, but all's well that ends well says I, so I am returning my lump of coal.
At Wed Jan 02, 02:22:00 PM, Dr. Zaius said...: What a great gift that you got for Mathman. They clean the erasers and everything! All's well that ends well.
