a few weeks ago, shakgriig posted the following on reddit:

"My giftee was really specific in wanting just a gift card, but I'm finding that to be a little too boring, so I need help trolling him. He said to surprise him and I can't really think of a clever enough way that won't cost me too much money and will fit into a regular envelope. Any ideas?"

My response was:

"buy them a gift card... but instead of mailing them the gift card right away.. Mail them a picture of the gift card, and tell them if they ever want the gift card they are going to need to figure out a secret passcode and mail it to you. give them some super hard task, or something along those lines. lol mail them a super cheesy DVD/Movie you or a family member may own. something stupid like a Barbie/Barney movie. and tell them in order to get their gift card they are going to need to email you a secret password. and the first half of the password is the 218th word said in the Movie. or give them a book to read, and tell them the second half of the password is the 212th word after the 5th chapter. that way they get the gift card they so very much wanted, and you get to have a little fun with your giftee LOL"

the card my secretsanta sent me reads: "Merry Christmas, WavingFlags2! I decided to steal your idea of how to troll your secret santa. Inside you will find the classic movie "Black Sheep." I want you to send me the 312th word in a card to the return address. After doing this you will be sent a $40 Target gift card you can used towards a newTV or whatever else you may want! Merry Christmas!"

Reading this card my initial thought was: HAHA HOW AWESOME! HE DID RESEARCH ME! but..... DAMN! the 312th word?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

the following thoughts raced through my head:

Did this awesome Roy/Rory guy really count the 312th word???????? Could i just watch the movie and pick a random word out and give it to him? maybe he didn't actually count it out himself, and will just assume the answer I give him is correct.. jesus... do i really have to count out 312 words???

so now i'm a little worried to see what this movie black sheep is even about... so I reach in the envelope to pull it out...
