Okay, send me your screen name, mailing address and your sex, and whether you want a G-rated, X-rated, or whatever-rated present. [homer@micoks.net](mailto:homer@micoks.net) You have 7 days to get the addresses in. Next Sunday I will mix ‘em up in a big ol’ hat and assign them to people. Have fun! –Tim ---

No, no, the presents are real. I suppose the cost limit is whatever you decide it to be. Read the linked thread, it should explain it all. –Tim ---

Zoggie: I’m sorry. ☹ If it helps, I can keep you anonymous. The person sending to you will just know you’re a girl and what rating you want. Everyone else: Great response! I have 21 on the list now, waiting for response from 2 others who didn’t include their addresses. I can only imagine how many people I’ll be shuffling around by Sunday! Get your address in now! As I said earlier, the price limit is whatever you feel comfortable spending. People will probably be chosen randomly, but then, I may divide you into groups depending on rating. I’m not sure now. Heck, I got a week to decide! When I send out the mails telling everyone who they’ve got, I’ll also send with the address the rating preferred (and PLEASE stick to it, I don’t want someone to be embarrassed in front of a parent, spouse, or child!) as well as an idea of what they’re interested in (if such thing is provided). Keep 'em comin! –Tim ---
