So it arrived damaged. Never mind, I thought, it's what's inside that counts...

oh yes!! I remember it's a good job you researched!

So N/A = 'Description not applicable as item doesn't exist'

I'm so glad they saved the N/A doors til last just to ensure our expectations were well built.

heady days

Aridane · 22/12/2017 11:32

Oh my goodness, OP - back in the head days of 3rd December, when hopes were still high, I posted that three days were described as 'N/A' on the HoF website on the Sadvent Calendar description.

I’ve looked online too - contents listed but not the order. And, yes, just baldly described as ‘funnel’ grin,

Am curious as to what the three ‘N/A’ are in the calendar? Maybe they are blind doors with no contents?

Could it be that HoF are having the final surreal joke in that 22nd, 23rd and 24th are all blind N/A doors?

I can't believe we only have 3 doors left I don't know how I'll replace this joy - perhaps I'll fish an item out of the bin everyday with my eyes closed, it'll result in the same gain

Thank you all for getting this thread into classics, it's purely down to your brilliantly creative funnel suggestions and cat puns. Ken is incredibly fond of himself so will of course take all of the credit. He celebrated by hitting the milk and catnip pretty hard last night and is suffering today.

On the 22nd day of Christmas, the sadvent calendar brought to me...

Fuck all.

can anyone who has watched the videos let us know what is supposed to be here? I guess it's probably fallen out and it's one of the many things I can hear rolling around at the back of the calendar. Or they've shortchanged me.

HOF Designer: 'what shall we put behind door 22, boss?'

HOF Boss: 'don't you think they've had enough already?!?! We've given these people 10000000 glitter particles for flip sake!'

@Cheeseandcucumber um excuse me!!! What delight do you have for us today?

KenForPM · 22/12/2017 08:40

Nope the OP is still Cheeseandcucumber. I’m not the OP! I don’t have a cat, my dad is allergic.

Let's celebrate!!! We are in classics!!!!!

Ken is so eloquent!

@KenForPM are you someone else???? Your name seems a little suspect!

KenForPM · 22/12/2017 02:35

Ooh wow, I’ve been contributing to a thread that’s now in Classics!! Woo! Is there a special MN award for that?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/12/2017 22:45

Thanks Ken, that was really moving. Looking positively regal there.

sugarlost · 21/12/2017 22:24

That was a wonderful speech Ken...I’m proud of you for having a change of heart about murdering us humans and for posing with the beauty shite And doing it so well!

Fab that We are in the Classics...shite I had a heart attack when I couldn’t find the thread in S&B....

Sadvent was disappointing today...no glittery shite..WTF...how do we even function without it...I propose a new public holiday filled with Glitter when Ken and a Misty marry

Cheeseandcucumber · 21/12/2017 21:09

WE'RE IN CLASSICS!! YAAAAAAY!

Ken would like to share his acceptance speech:

'Humans, I thanks you. In my determination to rule the world I believed murder of all humans was the only way forward, you have shown me that I can achieve great things just by sharing my immense beauty. I thanks you all for recognising my beauty, I thanks HOF for providing my slave with utter shite and keeping her occupied all month and most of all, I thanks this thread for bringing me to my purrfect fiancée, Misty.'

Arch please can your cat perform at the wedding?

purpleprincess I can't say I didn't see this coming! As soon as I opened the door and spied the funnel I knew I was the luckiest woman in the world I wish you luck in acquiring your own, perhaps in next years HOF calendar which could include several following its popularity this year

threehoursin · 21/12/2017 20:56

Yay classics! 👊🏻

Aridane · 21/12/2017 20:26

Now we just need this to,win thread of the year

Aridane · 21/12/2017 20:25

Yay - we’ In Classics

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/12/2017 20:19

A black eyeliner? This is a strange curve ball from HOF. It could be the most useful item so far. Obviously you haven't tried it yet so as Claire suggests, Antihistamines at the ready!

Archchancellor You have a seriously acrobatic cat.

Ken is amassing quite a fan club here.

ElephantsandTigers · 21/12/2017 20:12

Oooo ooooo I've got a funnel in the kitchen drawer.

It's silver....

purpleprincess24 · 21/12/2017 15:39

I just can’t keep my Christmas wish quiet any longer .... I emailed Santa and asked if I could please have a funnel on the 25th from my vastly inferior calendar.... they can keep diamonds and pearls all I wont is a funnel, it’s not too much to ask surely 😍

Would you consider trading for something else? A Mulberry handbag perhaps, or a luxury holiday in The Maldives .... I’m sure we could come to some sort of agreement

ArchchancellorsHat · 21/12/2017 15:24

Awaiting his invitation to the wedding of the year.

ARichVernacular · 21/12/2017 14:00

Aw he's got his bouquet all ready claire

Tracy I do pride myself on my gorgeous Beaker She would love to be second funnel and has offered to romantically strew the bridal path with pure white hair so it will match every room of my house and every item of clothing I own

clairethewitch70 · 21/12/2017 13:39

Oh and Ozzy wants an invite to the wedding of the year

clairethewitch70 · 21/12/2017 13:37

Are you going to use all the products together on 24th and show us a pic. No one will recognise you of course with all the glitter and stinging and swelling etc Antihistamines at the ready

Opheliasgoldenwine · 21/12/2017 13:16

Does it sting when applied, OP?
