My friends and I had a White Elephant party this evening. When the party date was announced a few weeks ago, my friend took me aside and warned me- no gag gifts. He didn’t want me embarassing him at his apartment when some pretty girl he’d like to get to know better opens up some gift to find a huge rubber penis inside 
So I was good, and got a decent gift- a $10 gift certificate to EB games. Since my friend had warned me, I figured everyone else would play nice too, and everyone would get a mutually acceptable gift. Uhhhhh
THE GIFTS
1.) A $10 gift certificate to EB Games (my gift)
2.) A Bionocle figure (my friend’s gift)
3.) A book on Dali plus a gift certificate to a craft store (actually pretty neat)
4.) Refridgerator magnets of cat asses 
5.) A 486 motherboard+processor
6.) $10 worth of generic golf balls
7.) A pair of ninja climbing claws (WTF? :eek: )
8.) A Simpsons trivia game
9. A DVD encoder
10.) A jar of marshmallow creme.
In some bizarre twist, my gift was the least desirable, and I wound up getting it back through the selection process after a few rounds. I was really hoping to get the ninja claw thingys though. The most popular gifts?
The magnetic cat asses and the jar of marshmallow creme . TWO people wanted that marshmallow creme sooo bad. Because, you know, a $10 gift certificate could be anything…but a jar of marshmallow creme is A JAR OF MARSHMALLOW CREME!
