7th Annual Shot Glass Exchange!

[feppytweed]

It's that time of year again! The SDMB Shot Glass Exchange is the time when dopers from all over send and receive shot glasses (and other goodies) to add to their collection.

The rules are simple:

• Reply to this thread expressing your interest in the exchange.
• Email me at sdmbshotglassexchange @ gmail.com . Say whether or not international shipping is ok... we have a few participants from Australia and Europe.
• Names are picked Round-robin style... The person you're receiving from isn't necessarily the person to whom you're sending a glass.
• Send your glass promptly!
• Receive your glass and make sure it works

The more, the merrier, but please, please refrain from participating if you're going to be busy, going through a move, or otherwise indisposed.

Feel free to throw in other things with your shot glass... local flair, samples of what you think goes best in that glass... whatever!

This is last year's thread.

I'll set the deadline at May 5 at midnight, just to give everybody a chance to see the thread and sign up.

So... I think that about covers it! Email, PM or post to the thread if you have any questions.

Annnndd..... GO!

[pete66]

YES! emails on the way. I can do international too.

[Baker]

I'm in! Email sent.

I've had some cool glasses in the past.

[silenus]

Count me in. Email sent.

[GreedySmurf]

Count me in again.

[Runs With Scissors]

Email sent!

[feppytweed]

Thanks for all the responses, everyone! I forgot to mention in the OP: please include your mailing address in the email you send to sdmbshotglassexchange@gmail.com.

Gotta let people know how to send you a glass!

[silenus]

I did include my address, didn't I?

[feppytweed]

Indeed you did. I have the ones from last year, too, but it's easier to not have to dig through the archived messages.

I'm hoping the exchange picks up a bit... it always starts slowly, and then after the deadline, there are always a few who never noticed it but wanted to participate.

[zoid]

I'm in again this year.
E-mail sent!

[Labtrash]

Woohoo!

I'm in again !

email sent

[caused two]

I'm in! Email has been sent!

[silenus]

What's our count so far? 9?

Come on, people! This is fun!

[Filbert]

Ahh, and why not...
Reckon I'm in.

[Atomic Mama]

I'm in, like Flynn.

Shot glass will be flyin' out the door, as soon as I get a recipient address

Expect something unusual. I hope to get something unusual in return. More fun for all!

[Silvorange]

I'm in. E-mail sent. Sounds like fun!

[Bingo Pajamas]

Please count me in!

[feppytweed]

Current count is right around 14... Hopefully we can generate some more interest in this and have a big exchange this year!

[silenus]

14 is a good start, but we need at least 20 for this to really rock.







That's a hint, people.

[zoid]

Come on folks - sign up already!

[feppytweed]

Perhaps to get more traffic to this thread, I should get a mod to re-name it "Kitten pictures!"

[zoid]

Think they'd make it a sticky, just till we close the sign-up?

[feppytweed]

Still got a couple of weeks left, but we don't have as many participants as usual... Come on! This is fun. I promise!

[Inter Alia]

I wanna play! Email sent.

[minionkat]

Sounds like fun, I'm in. Email sent.

[Sir T-Cups]

My favorite thing on the dope!

Boom! I'm in!

I didn't even think about that. I can certainly ask!

[TGIF]

I would like to join in on the exchange. I am willing to ship international as well. Can't wait!

[The Surb]

I'm in!

[zoid]

Anyone else?
Come on - this is fun!

[silenus]

Saturday is the deadline. Don't miss out on the fun because you were too much of a grump to participate.

[Labtrash]

Rough count is 19

Let's go, people!

[missinformation]

Let me see if I can get to the store (not driving really sucks) to pick one up....we live in a tourist area, but Walgreens just sells shirts...WalMart sells shot glasses, but it is not worth my life crossing our highway and playing Frogger with white hair and knuckles for anything...

[zoid]

Shameless bump

[Labtrash]

Merciless bump

[living_in_hell]

I'm in. I live in tickytacky hell so whomever gets my gifts better be ready to explain to your houseguests how you ended up with these gems.

[Labtrash]

Arbitrary bump

Sign up before you get trashed oc Cinco De Mayo!

[living_in_hell]

Never mind. Withdrawing my entry.

[zoid]

???

Why?

[living_in_hell]

Moving. won't be at this address much longer. Maybe next year.

[feppytweed]

So today is the deadline...

By my last e-mail count (I don't think living_in_hell sent one), we have 20 participants.

Slightly lower than previous years, but only by a couple. I'll have the list made up and sent out tomorrow!

Hope you've got your shot glass picked out!

Thanks everybody for participating.

Maybe your work address (or new work address)??

[feppytweed]

OK,

I just emailed everybody the name and address of the doper to whom they're supposed to send a shot glass.

If there is a problem, please email or PM me ASAP so we can fix it! Some dopers will be sending their packages out tomorrow, so if there is an issue, we need to catch it before then.

Thanks everybody for being a part of this!

[silenus]

Already packaged and will hit the mails tomorrow for the barren wasteland that is "flyover" country.

[Baker]

The package I am sending will go out Tuesday afternoon. Not saying where!

[Inter Alia]

Sent mine out today!

[Baker]

What's "flyover" country?

[silenus]

You'll see.


Hit the mails about an hour ago.

Mine will be out the door tomorrow!

[Baker]

Ah, c'mon, silenus, Kansas isn't barren!

I got my package! And cool stuff! I got a Brian Jordan bobble head, an Olympic water bottle. TWO shot glasses, pens, soup mix(I love soup!) and something to put in the shotglasses, rum from Barbados!

Thank you so much! I'll take the water bottle to karate class with me.
