I'm trying very hard not to think about how much $ went into those 200 orders, but I fear that the number is high enough to warrant such a jubilant anniversary.
And honestly all I wished for were Cosmo's used socks, really.
That would set you free, after all. :-)

Glad you got a kick out of it. Someone noticed you post about your 200th order and I had a goblin mask on my desk and was like.... wouldn't it be funny if... and thus the idea formed into existence. Glad it made it there safely. I was a little worried customs would raise an eyebrow since they weren't on the manifest.
Cheers!
Here's to 200 more ;)

Now I'm curious what this Touhou thing is. Of course, I've been living in a hole in the ground in the middle of nowhere for the past five years or so I may have missed a few things...
It would seem that somebody really enjoys their job though :D
The Touhou Project is a series of indie shoot-em-up games, of the "bullet hell" subgenre where you're flying a plane through wave after wave of opponents and the screen is filled with enemy missiles and bullets that you have to desperately dodge.
Except that instead of a plane, you're a cute Japanese monster girl.

Bah, it's clearly due to the crazy customers they have to deal with.
"Where's my playtest?"
"When do I get celestial totems for my barbarian?"
"My subscription didn't smell like unicorn farts!"
"I wrote Pathfinder before you, how to resolve?"
"I am a Nigerian prince and would like to make you a special offer."

TOZ, I had no idea you were nobility ...

Ha! That's awesome, Gorbs!
You're 1 ahead of me; my 200th order will be next month's subscription shipment. :D
Don't be disappointed at the lack of surprise extras. I've had 220 orders already, and nothing unexpected. (And how great is that?!?)
Hey, it's not a surprise extra if everyone gets them!

Makes me think of Reaper Miniatures a little bit. They'll throw in paint samples on occasion, and write little notes on order invoices. If you write something funny and/or nice in the order comments box, which also gets printed on your invoice, their pickers/packers will often write something in reply. I've seen where one guy asked for them to steal their boss's hat and throw it in with his order, and the packer drew a hat that resembled it instead and wrote something like "I couldn't get the hat away from him, so I drew one like it instead."
Personally, I asked for them to super-size my paint order because the 1/2 oz bottles didn't quench my thirst, and their response was "Sorry dude, that's McDonald's. We're Wendy's fans here. But have a couple sample paints instead." Made me tempted to ask them to Biggie(or Great Biggie) size it the next time I order paint.
Gotta love some good customer service.

Right. I don't expect anything. Gorbacz and I started on the forums about the same time and his post reminded me that I was approaching 200 as well. It's kinda funny our orders are within 1 of each other.

I started half a year after you and I'm beating you in orders AND postcount. Slackers.
Nah, you're just trying too hard TOZ.
Congrats, Gorbacz! Really great stuff. Paizo people are the best! :-)

Lol! I thought the same thing when I read that.
Only 179 orders here.. I bet it'd be higher if I didn't combine so many orders.

Hah! Congratulations, Bagsy! I'll probably never reach that number, since I purchase all my Paizo stuff at my FLGS. Then again, I won't have to think about Cosmo's "suprises" (I'm sure he'd do something nasty, like coating the whole box with transparent and odorless anti-beard toxin).
If you want any socks formerly owned by Cosmo, send me an e-mail. My imps have picked up quite a collection of them. Naturally, I will sell them at a reasonable price. ;P

Well, celestial aligning implies (at least to me) that the universe is moving into position for something good.
This is Gorbacz we're talking about, so what's the other end of the spectrum?
Black holes aligned?
