You did fine, Bead. Congrats on the big 5-0-0, BTW.
Looks like we got us a party, folks! Joining us now [*]TheLoadedDog
Hey, you can count me in. Sending email now.
Yeah I’m in too!
Arden, dear, you can have me anytime you like. And you can send me junk, too. 
Oooo, I want to play too! I’ve got a closet full of lovely items that need a home (other than mine).
Oh! Oh! Oh! Me too! E-mail is on the way. I’ve got all sorts of freaky shit. Maybe I’ll put together a grab bag…
Sweeeeet.
One of these days…
Can new people play too? Email sent!
Abby
All right, I’m in! E-mail coming…
Are we limiting it to one piece of cra… uh item, or can there be a few?
BTW: I’m game for Morrison! He’s not too far from here, if everyone else is worried about postage costs (but I can’t write in Chinese!)…
OOooooh baby, count me in Now, where are those HazMat Customs Declaration Forms when I need one??? 
Brilliant idea. I say, it’s SUCH a brilliant idea that we should each send TWO ITEMS, one of which you get to keep. <Cackle>

OK, Ralf Jr. found his colored markers and colored on the white elephant. Does anyone want a rainbow colored elephant, with flowers and airplanes and lollypop trees on it?
Cranky, Thinksnow, thanks for organizing this - I’m still looking for something to send, but I know I’ll find something.
<---------doing my absolute finest Lars Thorvald imitation. Placing spouse into steamer trunk with O2, mask and PowerBars.

Alright, we need some Euro-Dopers and this thing will really be an event to remember. A big “Welcome!” going out to the Pacific rim this weekend!

We’re over the 50-person mark, that’s pretty good assuming everyone actually sends something. It’ll be like Christmas[sub] (or whatever your desired gift-giving thing is)[/sub] in June!
As someone who just shipped off a whoopie cushion and a gargoyle to a couple of dopers, you KNOW I want in!
You talked me into it. On my way to send an e-mail.
[li]Lola, you’re in;Diane, check your email :)[/li]So…a Friday name-drop sound good to everyone?
Well, yeah, but keep in mind that the cheapest shipping rates from here might make it Christmas in July or August!
Just keepin’ it real! That’s all!
Brilliant. Just brilliant! Count me in Please.
