I’m in! Email sent. Just the other day, HallGirl1 and I were going through the box of ornaments, and she was picking out some she’d like to have. “Can’t have that one,” I told her, “A Doper gave it to me last year.” ---

I’ll be sending an e-mail shortly. Are there any guidelines about the ornaments? Size, subject, cost, anything? Or just run with it? ---

> [@thirdwarning](#): > > Are there any guidelines about the ornaments? Size, subject, cost, anything? Or just run with it? **Size:** Small enough to hang on a Christmas tree. Light enough to not cause the tree to lean in the direction of the ornament. **Subject:** Uh, Christmasy. No porn. **Cost:** Less than $1,000, unless you’ve really got money to burn. **DO NOT RUN WITH ORNAMENTS!** If you fell down, the ornament could break and you could cut yourself. Welcome to the Exchange, **thirdwarning**. ---

Are these supposed to be tacky, or cute, or pretty, or regional, or… I need a theme! I’ll shoot an email I guess. International, no problema. ---

I’ve been offline for a couple of days due to the evil cable people. Thanks for the bump, **EvilAsh**. ¿Donde está la gente? No se. When is the deadline for participation? I’ll start making assignments and sending emails on Sunday. People can keep signing up until I get sick of it. > [@The Big Cheese](#): > > Are these supposed to be tacky, or cute, or pretty, or regional, or… I need a theme! No rules. Send whatever tickles your fancy (oh wait, I said no porn). It’s really not hard to find a nice ornament at this time of year. :rolleyes: As for the no porn rule. . . I really don’t care. I just hate to visualize this: “Oh, what a clever ornament. And such a lovely sparkly snow frosting. . . oh my god, eeeeeeeewwwwwww.” ---

It turns out that one is supposed to get moderator permission before starting an exchange thread. **Cajan Man** has graciously given us permission _ex post facto._ Here’s the list of players so far: Anaamika Avarie537 Congodwarf EvilAsh kaiwik laina\_f Logandear Mama Zappa Phall0106 The Big Cheese Thirdwarning If your name is not on the list, I did not receive an email from you. If your name _is_ on the list, you will receive the name of your ornamentee today. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-ornament-exchange-2005/332072.md?page=2)
