The kinda-annual-but-not-really shot glass exchange is here! [you all know the rules so I’ll refrain from my usual pontificating and lecturing] If you want to participate, make a note in the thread here and then email me at sdmbshotglass@gmail with: - Real name - SDMB handle - Address - Willingness to ship internationally. (If you are, you might want to check international rates. I was informed a few years ago that FedEx in particular was charging exorbitant amounts to send relatively small packages overseas from the US. USPS was cheaper but much more stringent about sending booze through the mail – as in, it’s prohibited.) If the email doesn’t work – we had some issues last year – feel free to PM me with the above info and I’ll make sure to add you to the spreadsheet. Package contents: - Mandatory: shot glass, representative of your locus. - Optional: everything else – local goodies and kitsch are always welcome. Date I’ll start matching senders to recipients: Oh, lets say October 9 because it’s Indigenous People’s Day so I’ll have some free time to match names. That’s 2 1/2 weeks from now. Last year’s players and/or people I’ve noted might be interested: @silenus @Labdad @penultima_thule @Czarcasm @dogbutler @Baker @feppytweed @Teuton @Sir_T-Cups @Ambro ---

I found the first SGE thread from November of 2004. It appears that **silenus** and **feppytweed** were both charter members. Participants **Tripler** and **Snarky\_Kong** still post to the borads: > [@The Great Doper Shotglass Exchange](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-doper-shotglass-exchange/276969): > > So…There are a number of exchanges going on now, coffee mugs, secret santas, even ornaments. In the spirit of those exchanges, I’d like to start an exchange after my own heart. Shotglasses! Anyone interested? If so, email me and I’ll put you on the list. Send username, email address at which I can contact you, and name and address for mailing. Each person on the list will be randomly assigned another person on the list to whom they should send a shotglass If you are in the U.S. and are willi… Kinda cool throwback.
