  • Have you irresponsible fools even set a price?  It's a wonder you all haven't been foreclosed on. BUDGETS, PEOPLE!

    (srsly, like $20 or what?)

    And then if I do it, I only want to pick Christin or Audrey so I can take it to their house and not have to pay for shipping.

  • How do you unfriend someone (whose name rhymes with "hey shroom") on Elfster?
    image
  • I don't like restrictions, man.  Stop trying to put me in a box.

    I think people generally don't go over $25-$30 with shipping unless they get overzealous or inspired.

    This took me way too long. Probably because I immediately associated mushrooms with BBJ.

    Yeah, I have a lot of people from other exchanges on there. I kind of want to start asking them questions, in case they still check the email associated with elfster.

  • You'd better do the draw soon, Cali, or I'm going to keep farting around with Elfster's Facebook-esque gift suggestion and wish list features.

    I don't plan to. 

  • Elfster is running slower than molasses right now.  I have to accept Fitty's invite for her and then I'm going to hit Draw.

  • I labored over that puzzle too, PDX.

  • Shroomsie's answers to questions are kind of funny, in retrospect.

    Ha!  NestThisThis.

    I was excited at first, but it is a lot to live up to.

    Speaking of which, since this is my first year participating, I didn't pay attention too closely in years past.

    The point here is to bring the funny, right?  I don't want to send this person  nude Homer Simpson chess pieces (for example) and have them be all, WTF.

    Excluding the craptacular which was all about the funny, I think most people try to do a little bit of both. I generally send one "hey I think you'll actually like this" thing and some inside joke funny odds and ends.

    I am legit buying a cinnamon broom today at Trader Joe's.  It's going to smell fabulous up in my house.  Don't be jealous.

    That's perfect.

    We do a White Elephant party every year.  I always come with something kitschy and cool, something that you wouldn't necessaily buy for yourself, but still not something that gets left behind at the party.  However, I seem to always get stuck with the bag full of wine corks, or a ziplock filled with shaved hair (yes, that did happen one year - it was disgusting).

    . Either way Vinny. CMC sent me an awesome combo of funny and awesome last year. I'm actually wearing my gorgeous CMC scarf right now. I am not wearing the Twilight jewelry, but I did get a total kick out of it.

  • I LOVE the person I drew too. The pressure is crushing, gah!
  • The year before last, Noisy sent me lovely potholders AND a calendar of Buddha art. I loved December, a whole month of pregnant Robe.

    You're definitely in it, but there are, like, 7 groomz' in my "Elfster friends list." Did you follow a link from an email? Do that first, then log in with your usual Elfster login.
