@dangerousdon - fantastic gifts bro!
I am so glad you like everything! Sorry about all the carbs and candy. But I figured you can space it all out so it isn’t so bad. Louisiana grows a lot of pecans and the chocolate covered and candied pecans are some of my favorites. The pastalaya is like jambalaya just with pasta instead of rice. And tha most definitely is a real alligator head. I am super happy the picture came out well. There was a little bit of faith involved with it. But what do you get the guy who has everything?
Merry Christmas Dave and Merry Christmas Cadre!

I opened my Rudolph gifts this morning. Lovely gifts they were too. I don’t know my sender, however. Looking forward to that discovery. Enjoy.
it is awesome and now will be in all my vids... LOVE IT
Hey my friend - I guess I will have to give myself away
- I think you opened the box from the bottom - there is a note with some hints and a 4th small gift in there as well.I tried to get all your favorite colors in the badger brush - 4 colors were a challenge
The tanker actually has talc in it and the tractor part is the AS.
Sorry about all the packing material - I couldn’t find a box that would fit everything tightly at the post office - so had to add a lot of fillers.
Merry Christmas!

I’m so glad you told me. The paper and box were in the outside garbage can. I went out and retrieved the box, carefully removed all debris, and found the note and last gift.
#1 I got the Babe reference to Babe Ruth. I knew he grew up in an orphanage, but didn’t know where. “…not his house” would have been Yankee Stadium, but not there. But I didn’t see how that relates to you.
#2, #3 I didnt get those.
#4 I get the Francis Scott Key and Fort McHeney reference, but not to you.
#5 I get the Chevy Chase, MD and actor Chevy Chase distinction, but not to you.
#6 Sorry, didn’t get that one either.
The last clue, “scuttle the ship” I might have pieced together because my wife got your first name Brian off the packaging. Brian + scuttle might have gotten me to Scuttlesoap. My wife will tell you, I’m kinda slow.
The last gift is great. I’ve never heard of a Fox Razor, Solingen. Beautiful razor and scales. Will be used tomorrow morning.
See pictures below.
love the villiage
Cool - phew - glad you found it.
So for the hints…..though I am am from Pennsylvania and a Philadelphian always….I currently live in Maryland- which is probably what threw you off.
#1 I got the Babe reference to Babe Ruth. I knew he grew up in an orphanage, but didn’t know where. “…not his house” would have been Yankee Stadium, but not there. But I didn’t see how that relates to you. Correct on Babe Ruth - his House is Yankee stadium - but he was built (Born) in Baltimore.
#2, #3 I didnt get those.
For #2 (this one was a little obscure)- We are known for our Ocean views but have a desert (our very own @Fenster vacations in Ocean City, MD) - Snake Island is categorized as a desert).
#3. Our baseball team has to go through Utah to get to their stadium but are bad spellers - Eutaw Street is right behind the outfield and you go through there to get to the ballpark.
#4 I get the Francis Scott Key and Fort McHeney reference, but not to you. You are correct on Francis Scott Key.
#5 I get the Chevy Chase, MD and actor Chevy Chase distinction, but not to you. Correct.
#6 Sorry, didn’t get that one either. Havre de Grace is a decoy - HdG is a town In Maryland that is the decoy (for hunting) capital of the world.
The last clue, “scuttle the ship” I might have pieced together because my wife got your first name Brian off the packaging. Brian + scuttle might have gotten me to Scuttlesoap. My wife will tell you, I’m kinda slow Don’t sell yourself short - I gave bad hints - plus because I am a Northerner through and through - I don’t announce that I’m living below the Mason-Dixon
I hope you have the Merriest of Christmases my friend!

Mary-land voted to remain Union and not secede to the Confederacy by only 1-2 votes, you know.because I am a Northerner through and through - I don’t announce that I’m living below the Mason-Dixon
I still say their suspect
Plus they are the home of the much hated Ravens - arch rival to the greatest football team in the league

I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, moved to Texas as soon as I could - 1996. Very much Southern at heart!I still say their suspect
A huge thank you to @NurseDave, great gifts, love them all. A bottle of 49 mile bourbon, a bottle of Nivea 2 in 1 AS (wonderful stuff), a bag of nursedaves own custom breakfast blend coffee, a sumo tea cup/mug, a pair of sumo sock, and a pair of high quality NurseDave poker chips. Great gifts Dave, thanks.
