All I want for Christmas are my 2 KIDNEYS... my 2 KIDNEYS... I love that song. And all cel collectors need the kidneys for their favorite kidney cels!!!
I've been really busy for Christmas and with friends and family over during the holidays... but I'm finally almost ready so I'm going to start handing out some of the Christmas presents I've been promising some of you for a while now!!!
I thought I could start now before these "late" Christmas presents turn into "really really early" Christmas presents for next year.
And now for the Presents!
1. Hot Ice
Thank You for all your hard work with the Anime Bishie Website and the Cel around the World project! You've really made it fun to be part of the Anime beta family!
The First gift goes to HotIce! Who gets a IsoYaki Duck Kidney!
I LOVE Roast Duck... but I didn't like the IsoYaki Duck Kidney... So you probably shouldn't eat it. ( If they rename the kidney, "Oh-SO-YUCKY" instead of I-so-Yaki duck kidney, it would probably make perfect sense...)
For the Second present
2. Gold Knight
Thank You Gold Knight for being a wonderful Moderator and being here every day of the year just to watch and take care of all of us. I've really enjoyed talking to you and just generally looking through your beautiful Ah My Goddess Gallery... One of my first Anime Movies that got me hooked on Anime was the Ah My Goddess Movie, and I still love it as much as I did when I saw it the first time!
Gold Knight gets the Official FULL METAL ALCHEMIST PHILOSOPHER's ELIXER!
These are great if you need that extra boost after a hard days work at school!!!
Now I drew on the Following gift and used Crayons to make it extra special!
3. Sensei
An Original hand drawn Rough Layout Demashita PowerPuff Z Clock that I cut and colored in with crayons and made all pretty!
May Everyday of the Year be as Merry as Christmas for you!
Thank You Sensei for sharing all your experience and knowledge about art and cels! It's really really nice to know that you'll always be here to answer any questions I have! And also special thanks for the CHobits sketches, They are beautiful!
Oh... Actually the original sketch is safe and not cut up and drawn on. I'll get a picture of it soon! The clock is a xerox copy
4. Miz Ducky
Miss Ducky gets a yummy duck kidney
I just love looking at all your Fruit Basket sketches and hearing about your adventures in the middle east! Hope you have lots of fun and find lots of kidney cels!
5. Baakay
Baakay is the First Anime Beta Member to have a stamp dedicated to her for her friendliness and sense of humor!
Always a friend to me and everyone else! Someone who I couldn't think of losing in my hobby of cel collecting!
Baakay... Gets the Baakay oda Stamp collection!!
and the Baakay oda 16 month Calendar!
May you live as long as baakaYoda!
6. DuoTrouble
Thanks for Narumi! And I know how much you love Maxwell! So now you get a Duo of Maxwell, not 1 but 2!!!
I hope you like them they're made by upperdeck. They are pretty hard to find. and has nice shiny foil lines!
7. Keropi
Keropi is like the collecting gawd... The Ultimate, Powerful and all knowing... If I have any questions about sketch collecting or romance anime... Keropi has the answers! Love you Keropi! Keropi is like the cutest name so! You get the Cutest girl with the Ultimate weapons!
These are the episode 7 settai that I got from Saikano: the Last love song on this planet... Episode 7 is when everything gets really sad and teary I think... It has chise in all her outfits! I think you'll like it!
Oh and Sakura for you!!! Sakura is kind of like Chise in many ways... Especially if she becomes Dark Sakura and becomes more powerful then all the hero's combined!!
Sakura's just so cute!!!
8. CARLA
Hey Carla! I'm glad you're watching Bleach... It's really a fun anime and Ichigo and Rukia are my favorite characters... I'm glad you're having fun here at Anime Beta and I love your personality! Here's a really hot Narumi staying warm with his brand New Scarf!
Hopefully he'll keep you warm this winter... (brrr... It's like 15degrees where I live)....
It's a xerox copy that I drew on... but you'll also get the ORiginal that I'm not going to show since... I take too long to make pictures!
9. ReiTheJelly
Thank You so much for the Magic Knight Rei Earth VHS Videos! And they are the original japanese with subtitles! I love them so much and watch them over and over!
This Christmas I want you to have my Magic Knight Rei Earth Card collection!
Maybe, it's not supposed to be Magic Knight Rei Earth... But you'll still be my MAGIC KNIGHT REI!!! Thanks again!
10. Transmet
Now Stewie has to be the number one reason that I love Family Guy! I think Transmet likes him also! It's just really fun to talk with you on Anime Beta and since it's so cold you you might need some STEWIE LIPBALM!
With this Lipbalm you can help Stewie take over the world!!!
11. JWR
I love JWR... He's kinda like the rock. Always there when we need him. The pillar of our Cel Collecting Hobby. Always there with his wisdom and passion of cel Collecting. He has a wonderful sense of humor and as a plus I like the animes that he likes!
Thanks for sharing that amazing Love Hina Sketch that you got... It's beautiful!
Here's a Beautiful Karin thinking of her dreams and just being happy.
This has to be the easiest one for me to draw on since she already has a scarf on! May all your Cel Collecting dreams come true!
Once again, before you have a heartattack... this is the xerox, and I'll also send you the original non-colored hand drawn genga!
12. KLET
Klet is awesome! I have to love her devotion to Anime cel Collecting even though it's tough being a poor college student! I know what it feels like being a poor college student and sometimes it's even hard to keep the dorm room warm with the price of energy going up! So this year here is some Candy Coal from Harry and David's.
Harry and David gifts are expensive... This bag was $10,000! Wow energy prices are going up! Hope you stay warm with this bag of Candy Coal! I've eaten some of this and it is pretty good... however your mouth may turn a little blue for a few minutes.
13. Crackpot27
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy New Years to Crackpot!!! Can I say Crack onna? This has to be the best time of the year! And maybe the most Chaotic too!!!
I want to thank you very very much for the Hiyono you gave me! That's the one I wanted but couldn't get! Thank You so much!
And now for my crayon specialty! CHAOS Crayon Special! Your second to favorite Xenosaga character... I'm sorry I couldn't get you Canaan!
I wish that everyday will be has happy and chaotic for you as Christmas!
This clock is again a xerox copy and you'll get the rough genga separately without all my crayon markings!!!
14. RedWolf
RedWolf is an amazing sketcher... Look at the angle that he drew Euphie for me!!! I didn't even ask. He just thought I liked Euphie and sat down for hours and drew Euphie for me! That's a hard angle to draw from! RedWolf is like incredibly good at finding where sketches are from. and it took him like 1 hour to identify what episodes and cuts the sketches I showed him came from.! I could not ask for a better friend!!!
And so I want RedWolf to have An official Disney approved Ratatooie Cheese Bank...
You should put all your cheese here so you can finally get all the Sketches you want!
And Rider of Fate/Stay Night... The first thing I thought when I found out how much RedWolf liked Rider... I thought "RedWolf must be kinky like that, since he likes blindfolded girls..."
Hey! I like Rider too...
Finally... My Favorite gift! The Crayon Special!!!
This is basically 2 sketches. One of Saber (fate/stay night)and one of Mai (mai hime). The Sketches are safe and sound and you'll get those also... But I'm extra proud of the Holly leaves I drew on them for you!!!! Although not quite the quality as the Euphie you drew for me!
15.SHELLIE
Wow... I'm up to number 15! I had no Idea that I had so many friends... The more friends you have the more broke you are at Christmas! Lol.... I love giving though. It's so Fun! I want to Thank Shellie for just tolerating all the robot jokes that Kym-chan throws at her. Just being able to take all those robot jokes makes her extra special to me. I love you Shellie!
And So Here is the One person I think you may love as well!!!
Just a clock that I hope you use, so it can remind you that with true love nothing can keep you apart!!!
Oh and again the rough genga sketch is actually not cut up or crayoned.
16. Star Phoenix
I love Star Phoenix! I've known her for like forever... She's like the best person ever to talk to. I could talk to her forever! She got me the best Ayato and Mishima kissing sketch about 5 years ago and I Love it. She has the best taste in Cel collecting and I can start seeing all those years of Med School paying off with the Breath Taking Disney cels she has graciously let us see in her gallery.
When ever I think of Transformers... I somehow think of you Star Phoenix! I think it's because you have more Transformers then anyone I know!
I can't wait to see more cels you buy in the future Star! May Megatron help you find those hard to find cels for you!!!
17. Aernath
I really wish you had a wonderful Christmas Aernath! I can't wait for your next Adventure with your Ichigo Dolls!!! You've made my experience at Anime beta incredibly fun and funny! I wish you the best year next year and hope to see even more cute dolls!
This is my favorite japanese food... Has to be Genuine japanese, ICHIGO-flavored gum BALLS.
18. MoonRabbit
Happy Holidays MoonRabbit!! Your beautiful personality and optimistic out look on everything really makes me smile! I hope you had fun with your friends and family! I hope all your ebay troubles are solved quickly and you can get back to buying more sketches and cels!
Your Christmas present are Relena and Dorothy of Gundam Wing!!!
I could not for the life of me find any Gundam Seed Lacus and Meer, so I got the equivalent Gundam Wing Cards for you! Hope this helps you on your quest to get some really nice LACUS and MEER Sketches!
19. SME
SME! You have the most beautiful Sailor Moon collection I've seen, ever! It's because of you that I'm watching Sailor Moon and hope of buying some SM cels soon!
Have a really fun cel collecting year!
20. Startyde
I can't believe that I actually got you the perfect present! I wanted to give you that perfect gym bracelet. But not that "live strong" bracelet. Because you're an amazing unique individual and so I picked out a black bracelet with your name on it... Startyde.
When I took it to checkout, the clerk stared at me and said, "startyde?, That reminds me of pokemon, isn't startyde, misty's pokemon?"
Then I thought, oh geez that's right... You're not a pokemon. Your a shining "star" and a real "fighter". And again a strong manly man, so I chose pink as the new color. When I think of manly man, Elvis comes to mind. And he did have a pink cadillac!!! And you do like Starwars, so I think "starfighter" should be perfect! Oh by the way, can I call you Star! You can call me Robo!
Here's the result!
"Starfighter" Remember to be that shining star and always fight for what is right!
("this is an inside joke about Beta Awards 2007")21. Penguinton
Penguinton is the best! I mean anyone named after a penquin is A-OK in my book! And penguinton plays Disgaea! That makes him double A-OK... But that's not it, Penguinton likes YOUNG, SWEET, defiant, Homicidal women... So that's makes you Triple A-OK!
Your avatar is hillarious... I love it!
Oh and here's a Jingle Beanie for a Triple A-OK girl like you!!!!
22. Iwakuralain
Merry Christmas and happy new years!!!
Have you ever seen that episode of Seinfeld where he explains the art of "Re-Gifting".
It's the art of "giving the gifts you don't really like to people you don't really like".Well, This is my version of RE-GIFTING! I'm giving something I REALLY REALLY LIKE to someone I REALLY REALLY LIKE! I got this wonderful office humor Standee, it has 30 signs and words of Office Wisdom on each one. Now I LOVE this thing. And I'm going to give it to you... while keeping it!
I'm going to dedicate a thread for the rest of 2008 to you Iwakuralain! It's kinda like dilbert and dogbert office wisdom, but on espresso!
I'll continue to update that thread for the rest of the year... It is hillarious and I hope you use some of that humor to get through the year!
23. kira
She has a wonderful humor... And always always happy and has nice things to say to everyone! A ton of cels and sketches that are really really nice... And alot of Saiyuki sketches that I may want to buy a few from...
I can't think of anything else to make her more perfect then she is!and the gifts!!
A cute "Happy" Sakura bookmark
And a genuine duck Kidney! Please don't eat it.
Update Status:I'm Still Updating with many more to come! And It may take me a few days to finish since Anime Beta sometimes kicks me off when I type half ways. So I'll be saving frequently and taking more pictures to upload! If you didn't get a present, feel free to let me know and I'll see what I can get for you!!!
Most likely I already have a present for you, but haven't taken the picture yet!
Too funny! Thanks for the giggle, RF.
