Teh Kris will be holding a Kris-mas giveaway this year.
I've been busy, but I've been stockpiling gold... like... a LOT.
So, I don't know how I will be doing it this year, but I'll probably start it whenever Gaia kicks off their event. Maybe even in the event forum as that seems to be where the most traffic is.
How would you regulars feel about being Santas this year?
I'm obviously not on Gaia as much, and I can take time off for the giveaway,
but I'd like to make sure we can give things away whether I am online or not.
I was honestly considering giving all the regulars an opportunity to sign up to be a Santa for the giveaway and giving them each 1 mill gaia_gaiagold to distribute during the giveaway. Is that something anyone would be interested in?
Let me know what you guys think and if you're interested I'll come up with some guidelines and a sign up form. And if anyone else has any ideas, let me know!

A very special thanks to UTOPIA
for their incredibly generous donation and for reminding us to keep "paying it forward" and helping others. heart

*cough*
Soooooo.... I'm busy as s**t again. BUT, I bring you new entertainment in the form of the hellspawn of Kris. My son turned 13 over the summer and he now has a shiny new Gaia account under the name "M1sterboomstick". At the moment, I am giving him some items to start with (kids, right?! xD) but I'm sure he'll hang around here eventually if anyone is in here. He's a cool kid and he's fun as hell, so I'd appreciate it if everyone can help him figure out Gaia if he needs it. heart heart
I've informed him that you're all evil bastards and you'll try to eat him/slam things in his soul, but also that you're all great people that I've known for like EVER. And if anyone needs anything and I'm not around, he's the easiest way to get a message to me because he'll start screaming like he's dying until I acknowledge him xd
*Replace mic*
*Trips and lands on E* xd

Its my Gaiaversary!
The giveaway (and parties, etc.) are being postponed until after I get back from vacation. I'm not going to have time this week, so we're going to start on the 24th or 25th so I have enough time to get everything together and take a breath after all this summer crap.
ALSO:
I got PM'd from someone wanting to link to the Spritzo in one of the upcoming "Gaia-zine" issues.
I approved it, but I have no idea when its going to be linked or how much traffic will be generated.
If it happens when I'm on vacation (again), you guys are in charge of the Spritzo and I'll drop in while everyone is sleeping at the hotel. I'll take care of the donations then or when I get back.
(I leave Friday and get back Monday night).
You have permission to kill the noobz and light people on fire. The tank, grenades, and pie cannons are in the left closet. Napalm, flame throwers, anthrax, and cookies are in the right closet. Everything else is in the storage shed over there
*points to charred shed*
You can toss the noob heads into my personal chambers. xd
PS. Older news was archived today. YAY ME!

So.... Crisis is over. Jacob is fine. Back to his usual annoying self, actually xd
Sorry for the MIA. Things have been tough. I still have all my work to contend with (which is still piling up), but I'm hoping things can get back to normal soon enough. I MISSED YOU ALL!

12/19/2010--ITS KRIS-MAS!
Kris-mas officially starts tomorrow. The contests are up and running, so be sure to check them out. Update your wishlists, bring your eggnog (spiked of course),
and lets get this party started!
For those of you who don't know, Kris-mas is when I give my crap away! Be nice, follow the rules and stay and chat and you may get something! Your something may be junk, it may be something cheap, or it may be something you'll really OMGWTF over! You never know wink Kris-mas will run from the 20th until the 30th.
We'll also be having a stripper party on the 23rd or 24th to celebrate my birth ^_^
I'm doing the Kris-mas spirit thing again this year, so 3 lucky folks with the most Kris-mas spirit will win a big item (100k-500k) from their wishlist! SO PUT ON YOUR GAME FACES, PULL UP YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES AND SHOW ME SOME SPIRIT!!! rofl
I'll also be giving away Kris masks (epic fail hats) to the people that impress me with their generosity. Not everyone is worthy of wearing such an awesome mask, so lets all be generous this year!
Anyone interested in participating in Secret Santa this year, please PM me a "letter to Santa" with some things that you'd like to have for Christmas (6-10 items)
so your Santas don't feel like a** hats and c**k sacs when trying to shop for you.
Remember that we're not all rich Santas though! So try to keep a 10k-20k limit per item.
Letters are due by the 26th. Santas will remain anonymous unless they choose to reveal themselves, so no buggin' me about who your Santa was xd
I'm also recycling last year's sig banners if anyone wants to advertise, and if anyone wants to make new ones, I'm good with that too mrgreen
Thanks Am_I_God!

12/18/2010--Kris-mas is coming!!!
This years Kris-mas will start on the 20th and run until the 31st (HO SHIZZ!).
I figure this will give everyone plenty of time to update their wishlists, participate in contests, do the secret Santa, and show your Christmas spirit. Secret Santa will start tomorrow, so get your "Letters to Santa" ready. The letters will be due by the 26th and gifts will be going out on the 30th. Stay tuned for more info ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8/15/2010--ITS GIVEAWAY TIME! AND ITS MY GAIAVERSARY! WOOOOOOOT! 5 years with this account!
So, all you regulars already know that its my gaiaversary AND my annual month long giveaway, and you guys know the drill, but something is REALLY different this year and good luck finding out what it is wink
For any new comers, hang around, chat, be respectful, and you just might get something. ^_^
Items I'm chucking out include EI's MC's and Cash shop stuffs.... and there's always some junk and gold to go around. Make sure your gifting is on and join in the fun. The giveaway and contests run from Aug 15th - Sept 15th.
For now, the diceroll and number gen is running. I'll be putting up simple contests later. If anyone wants to run a contest or has an idea, let me know.
Here's a sig banner for anyone that wants to advertise:

8/13/2010-- Holy crap! That was a lot to archive! xd
I'm working on updating the front page for the giveaway, but unfortunately its going to have to be an on/off kinda thing because my Gaiaversary is officially on Sunday (which is grocery shopping day) and Monday I have to have surgery in the morning. So the first 2 days will be a here and there kinda thing. Does anyone actually WANT to have contests or anything? Post your thoughts in the thread please. heart
Anyone know off the top of their head where the quote "Mr. Magee, don't make me angry!" comes from? wink
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12/28/2009--Gifts have gone out to the lucky 3 that had the most Kris-mas spirit!
Congrats to Evil A, Am_I_God, and Alura19!
I hope you all like your gifts and thank you so much for getting in the holiday spirit
I am also extending all contests until the end of January. I realize that everyone has been busy, so anyone that was interested and didn't have a chance to enter because of the holidays will be have until January 22nd to get their submissions in.
Diceroll and number gen is up on the front page. I'll be keeping them up permanently and I'll change the prizes once per month. If you win the diceroll or number gen, you won't be able to play it again until there are new prizes up (so each person can win a prize with the dice and number gen once per month). I also think "Find Santa" went rather well (Other than the fact that I got so busy), so I think I'm going to keep picking things to find every month so there will be some instant prizes. And I'll still be giving things away whenever I get the urge.
Thank you all for being so active. Now that I have more free time, I'll do my best to keep things more up-to-date and amusing. I'm also thinking about starting a referral program. If you refer a certain number of people to the Spritzo to hang out or for donations, you get prizes or gold. I'd really like all of your opinions on this. So let me know what you think
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12/12/2009--Contests are now up so check out the contests post. Diceroll and number gen will be up soon.
Anyone interested in participating in Secret Santa this year, please PM me a "letter to Santa" with some things that you'd like to have for Christmas (6-10 items)
so your Santas don't feel like a** hats when trying to shop for you.
Remember that we're not all rich Santas though! So try to keep a 10-20k limit per item.
If you wish to be an anonymous Santa, please include that in your letter and make sure to send your gifts anonymously when the time comes.
I'd like to have all the letters by December 17th so I can pair people up and gifts can go out the 22nd.
And remember, people! Its Kris-mas! So the more you're here, the more of a chance you get to have some of my junk thrown at you and the more chances you have to show off your Kris-mas spirit for a chance to be one of the lucky 3 that receive a big wishlist item! And don't forget I'll also be giving away some Epic Fail Hats to people hanging around so you can have a Kris mask. So if you don't have one, this is the perfect opportunity to get one if I think you're deserving!
Also, lets welcome any newcomers with open arms, cookies, and projectiles ^_^
And don't forget to visit THE Charity Christmas Pary to show your support for Gaia charities, and grab some booty and help out charities at Benevolent Booty!
I could also use a banner or two that say
"Kris-mas Giveaway, Contests, PrizesOnly at The Spritzo" Or something like that
As usual, I'll reward people handsomely, and I'd appreciate any regulars that throw a banner in their sig when I get some. Current banners:
Thanks Am_I_God!

12/06/2009--Itttttttttttttttts Kris-Mas!!! I'm starting Kris-mas a bit early this year, and its going to be a little different. I'm still going to make you take my junk, my extra crap, and I'm still going to buy gifts for people, BUT this year 3 lucky people will receive a more expensive item off their wishlist (100k-300k items of my choice) instead of junk These 3 people will be chosen based on who has the most holiday spirit and cheer (yes, I am very cheerful this month ).
My gifting will remain off, but for those of you who get truly upset over it I may accept a trade or two to shut you up
We'll be having some contests that I'll put up later today, and maybe another Secret Santa if you guys want it. If anyone wants another Secret Santa, let me know. For my birthday I'll also be giving away some Epic Fail Hats so you too can have a Kris mask!
Also, be sure to check out THE Charity Christmas party (news post below this one) I'll be dropping by often, and check out Benevolent Booty. Lets help out these other charities for the holidays.
So get your Kris masks out, decorate your trees with noob heads, get your strippers liquored up and lets get this party started!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10/10/2009--Be sure to check out THE Charity Christmas Party!
The Spritzo will be there with veggie dip..... and strippers ^_^

12/14/2008--I unfortunately threw up my spaghetti-O's. I really wanted spaghetti-o's, but upon eating them I discovered that my kids made me sick. Now I want some tea and toast, but I'll probably throw that up too, and I'm totally against wasting food. Now for the real news:
Deadline for joining Secret Santa ends Wednesday, December 17th.
Everyone will recieve their assignments on that day also.
Gifts are expected to be delivered by Saturday, December 27th,
so that will give everyone 10 shopping days.
*checks watch*
Kris-mas giveaway starts...... now.
So be prepared for the cleaning of my invo and the random stuffs that I will be giving away.
It might be an EI or an MC, or it might be trash or a flower bouquet... you never know
Any because no Kris-mas is complete without it....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12/10/2008--ANYONE THAT WANTS TO SIGN UP FOR THE SECRET SANTA, PLEASE PM ME!
I'd like to get a list and pick santas so everyone has time to shop and gifts can go out around Kris-mas
Note: You do not have to participate in the "Guess your Santa" contest if you don't want to. Just let me know that you want to stay anonymous and I'll pair you up with someone that doesn't wants to be anonymous also ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11/17/2008--I've officially made Charlie a helper! She's always around and she's always helpful, so she deserves it. I'll update the helper's post as soon as possible
5/24/2008-- Our little Zibi has opened an art shop! She's a very good artist, and I absolutely love the way her art is so lifelike. So, be sure to check it out or I will hunt you down!
Zibi's Shop
4/6/2008-- Its been a while since I've updated the news... or anything
BUT. I'm putting up an interesting new contest. Test your wit and skillz against Teh Kris.
You might win a prize... or not. Check out the contest post for details.
And for everyone that chose "WTF is wrong with you, Kris?" in the poll....
O.o I'm extremely surprised anyone still asks
We also had a winner for Ripple's avi contest... Congrats to Charlie for her submission

12/11/2007--IT'S KRIS-MAS!
Well... I see no better day to kick off Kris-mas than my birthday! All this week I'll be randomly giving people crap... and since its Kris-mas, you'll get what ever crap I give you! I have everything from store items, to rares, to MC's, to trash, to things you wouldn't give your worst enemy if a vicious man in drag forced you at gun point.... and I'm MAKING you take it!
This year, I've teamed up with Lady_Elentari to bring you all these goodies. Be sure to thank her profusely if you get something. She donated alot to Kris-mas and I couldn't do it without her!
I think she might actually like all you scallywags....
or she just had a lot of junk O.o
Regardless, thanks Lady E!
So, be on the look out all week for Kris-mas trades and gifts!
12/11/2007--So Shiv's super contest is up with the goal being to "Impress him" for a prize of 20k, and Ripple's schmexah avatar contest is up.
And of course, its that time of year again.
What time, you ask? Why its Kris-mas of course!
This year brought to you by Kris and Lady_Elentari.
I'll be handing out all sorts of gifts, crap, gold, and.... who knows what else
Its coming soon, so keep a weathered eye on the horizon because I'll be announcing the date within the next few days
11/9/2007--We've got this weeks avatar/writing contest theme up AND we've got a NEW contest! Check out the "Diceroll and Funstuff" post!
Last week's "Me an' my tattoo's" winner is Ripple! We loved her story and her avatar. Check out her entry here if you haven't seen it yet. I'm sending the prize out now
11/9/2007--We've got the writing/avatar contest up and running. Its in the "Contests" post. Hope everyone has fun with it!
10/24/2007--We've successfully given the charity a makeover! WOOT! Headers are courtesy of Villainrage (isn't Rage the best?). I hope everyone likes our new look. Theres a diceroll up, and more contests are on their way!10/02/2007--Ok. So we all know theres been a lot of drama going on for a while now. I've made a new post on the bottom of page 2 so everyone knows where I stand. I'm not going to the cafe anymore. This will be my sanctuary, and I'm sorry, but there are a couple people from the cafe on my ignore list that will not be permitted in this charity. The Spritzo is going to be revamped very soon. I'm busting my butt working on it now. Keep an eye out for contests, giveaways, dicerolls, and donations coming up soon. If anyone has any good contest ideas, PM me with them. And sadly enough I've been gone too long, so if anyone wants to donate contest prizes to get things going sooner, it would be much appreciated. I'm working on exchange whoring, but its been a slow process as I haven't had much time to dedicate to it before now. I hope we can come together to make this a pleasant place to escape to. I have missed you all a lot. Hopefully you all see this as a positive return.
