There was, and we did. I still have mine. 😃 Don’t know what **thinksnow** did with the heffalump boxers I picked out for him, though…

You’re not completely wrong _or_ imagining things.

[Whatever happened to originality?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6467430&postcount=4) Besides, this is about exchanges you would rather not happen, not ones that you dearly wish for.

Oh please. Those aren’t the beginnings of the tip of the iceberg. We haven’t gone into Papa Mustang, the years I spent managing an apartment complex for the severely mentally ill, the accidental New Orleans orgy, why Aunt Lucy got committed, my sister and my brother’s weddings (and how my mother reacted to each), the Yugo years, how Kitty & Carrie reacted to…

Well, I’m biased, but I’d hold on for a moment.
