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.

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.

Oh. We're supposed to stop once the draw is done?

I don't plan to.

I labored over that puzzle too, PDX.
And I have the best draw. Wheeee!!
Shroomsie's answers to questions are kind of funny, in retrospect.

Uh, well I guess I didn't get added.

NESTTHIS.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
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).
3 out of 4 dead babies agree! pepsi is better than coke! - EdithBouvierBeale
Lordy. Grow some balls and stop lurking. It's like stealing from the internet. Jesuschrist. -- AudreyHorne
I hate love and marriage. I got married so I could destroy these things from the inside. - NoisyPenguin
It's a good thing my circle of trust is as giant as my vagina. That only leaves a couple people out. - Cali
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.
