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 marryXmas Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/12/2017 22:45

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

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? Grin

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

kwick · 22/12/2017 10:47

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

Cheeseandcucumber · 22/12/2017 11:25

I can't believe we only have 3 doors left Xmas Sad 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 Xmas Grin

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.

Xmas Grin 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!'

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? Xmas Smile Xmas Grin Xmas Sad Xmas Shock

Aridane · 22/12/2017 11:34

heady days

Cheeseandcucumber · 22/12/2017 11:42

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

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

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

😂😂😂😂 just when I thought this thread could not get any better!!!

TribbleToilandTrouble · 22/12/2017 12:03

This is fantastic!!

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 22/12/2017 12:05
Confused

Nothing at all?

No stickers, no shittery?

Not even the rest of the spider?

PaddingtonBearHardSprouts · 22/12/2017 12:19

I watched the video, today was a brown eyeshadow. Maybe HoF didn't want to disappoint with two normal products in a row. The girl in the video used it as a bronzer with the awful brush as she was trying to use all the products and her eyes were already covered in glittery shit

C8H10N4O2 · 22/12/2017 14:42

In the YouTube video one of the windows seemed to be empty but the presenter then found a second set of crappy stickers slipped down in the casing.

Are you missing one of your sets of artistic stickers? Possibly burglers?

Just when you thought they couldn't get any better - it turned out they agreed so didn't even bother trying. Well played, HOF, well played.

Mr Grey would love to perform at the wedding, or indeed anywhere at all so long as there's something to destroy or chew an audience.

sugarlost · 22/12/2017 17:14

Nothing....I think I need to lie down as this is too much to take in when we’re presented with nothing...I actually could cry...HOF do you see what your putting us through...no shittery...how are we supposed to carry on...FFS!!!

Where’s Ken, Misty and the wedding cat groupies?
I think I need pictures to recover from the shock of a nothing day....next you’ll be telling me Santa doesn’t exist...it really is too much and on a Friday too...truly shocking!

Cheese I hope your ok? The effort you have to put in to pull open those doors and the anticipation and to end up with N/A....who is the director of HOF...heads should roll!

laudanum · 22/12/2017 17:44

Mum says the tiny funnel is for filling atomisers with perfume, apparently. I haven't read all the responses so someone else probably already said that.

iwouldgoouttonight · 22/12/2017 17:51

Are you sure day 22 isn't a clear perspex funnel? Or a teeny tiny funnel invisible to the naked eye.

What's likely happened is Ken is jealous of the quality HoF goodies and has stolen the contents of the last few doors. Have you checked his glitter tray?

Aridane · 22/12/2017 18:00

glotter tray Xmas Grin

Aridane · 22/12/2017 18:00

FFOS glitter tray

Aridane · 22/12/2017 18:08

I can’t even type FFS right

ToucheEcat · 22/12/2017 18:11

I think 3 empty windows on 22/23/24 December is just the minimalist perfection to add to the calendar's shitness. Masterful, HOF. Masterful.
