I’m In. But you might want to think about a pre-lim list now to get a handle on the logistics. Also I don’t check this board as often as other boards. Another suggestion: bump it up to $20. That way you don’t have people throwing tons of money away on gag gifts. As much as I need an inflatable butt-plug, I’d rather have a CD 😉 ---

I would be in on it, but where do you find something on the net for under $10 anyhow? ---

Why ask Santa? you can probably pick them up in a Grocery Store in Amsterdam… 😉 for just $19.95 ---

Hey, Homer, it sounds like it might be fun, but if international persons wish to participate, waiting until November might not be a great idea, what with shipping and customs and all that crap…just a thought… ---

sounds like fun. the thoughts on what $10.00 could do in the hands of the sdmb group is frightening, yet strangely compelling. ---

I’m on a list serv for fans of Nanci Griffith. Every x-mas we have a holiday tape exchange, people make up tapes of tunes that the recepient might not have been exposed to yet…works pretty well…perhaps not as cheerful as a dildo…but then again, nothing beats the obligatory giant inflatable penis anyway [http://home.revealed.net/ddwyer/qc6.jpg](http://home.revealed.net/ddwyer/qc6.jpg) ---

This does sound interesting. Is participation limited to those with a certain number of posts, or am I just feeling paranoia over being a “newbie” again? ---

Maybe we should have 2 exchanges, one for dildoes and one for, um, not-dildoes. I’d do the dildo one, of course. I’d be real curious to see what my Secret Santa thought that ol’ Green Bean would like. The dildoes I saw at the Video E **XXX** tra were a bit more than $10. Maybe a price range of $10-20 would be more appropriate for the dildo exchange. ---

That’s an interesting picture. [Imagines a single tent in the wilderness, staked next to a good-sized generator. Someone exits the tent, cranks the generator, and re-enters the tent.] You know, I really don’t want to think about that either. ---

I saw this horrible, horrible movie once. This guy was neglecting his gorgeous wife, so she goes in the bedroom. You can hear her tugging on a pullcord, then a huge gas engine roars to life, and you hear her start moaning. He yells “Careful, you’ll chip your teeth on that thing!” That movie sucked. –Tim [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-just-had-a-strange-silly-and-maybe-stupid-idea/31880.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-just-had-a-strange-silly-and-maybe-stupid-idea/31880.md?page=3)
