For those who haven't been following along obsessively... The Origin of WinkyRAD's WarningWe, The WinkersWinky's RevengeThe Plot Thickens--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So... If RAD's warning was genuine, it might explain why some have received their discs and some haven't regardless of location. If there is some truth to this, Callipygias and I very well could be the last ones to receive our copies. My question is, was anyone else who was in on our little joke been left out today? Any of the others who were crackin' on EZTakes get their copy today? |

I would like to go on record right now as saying Winky and I are just good friends.

No disk here yet, but I'm all the way on the West Coast. I anticipate it on Monday.

I , for the record , first used this dreaded nickname on Thursday the 10th after shipping and am still without. The fact that you're taking it this seriously is rather scary tho'. Plus the fact that you've gone and made it a thread title makes one wonder if you're looking to spend all of 2008 in shipping purgatory.   Oy |

As the creator of Winky's sidekick, Zeke, and mercilessly mentioning the basement/garage it's clear I will never receive my copy. Sigh...
Oh. Forgot. I'm smack dab in the middle -- Iowa.

Gosh Cerrita, that's for another "I Got It" thread, as you didn't state your culpability in these Winky matters. Not very. I mused over other people's use of Winky, and showed relief that an even worse name wasn't used. He's probably just delaying it a little. |

I never used the term Winky, I was too busy going to work and such things. And I got mine yesterday for the record. |

Being called Winky makes Winky sad.
That being said, mine just arrived. ;D

And btw, I think the true origin of Winky was Skyroniter. I think he was the first one to describe Winky as the basement-dwelling dependent that resembled Mike's portrayal of Winky the space-man from Manhunt in Space (MST #413). Then Ciredark ran with it.
Ciredark Ran like hell with it, really. The devil.
I'm just their fall guy.

It'll be our little touchstone for future threads, but the majority of fun has been had. Now with that said, I'm going to watch my Oozing Skull. |

I think we can still have the same impatiently-waiting-fun for CT # 2. ;-) Just won't be as bad what with the... delay for them to add in new stuff, delay for the dvds to be shipped, and then the time for them to actually arrive after being shipped...

Oh, for sure.... from here on out.. anytime there's any kind of delay for any reason... "It's Winkys' Fault!" |

Having now spoken w/ 3 of the delightful & candid folks at EZTakes ( 60% of the staff ? ) ,
I believe that Winky has indeed never worked there at all.
Where does he work ??
Turns out he's 85% of the staff at The United Postal Service !!
The randomness of people getting their CT discs rests with them , while EZTakes did an amazing job considering all the hurdles they faced , often at the last minute , like :
The Titans take 2 , stretching production over the Holidays , no downloads till spring making this their first ever DvD only release.
Also, the DvD art would have been part of what their Download Manager would've handled.
So here's looking forward to the future !
( and looking down the street for my mailman ! )
