Ok everyone, I have sent out emails with each player’s recipient.

This is the part of the exchange I hate the most because my OCD requires that I check the lists and compare them to last year’s list approximately sixteen billion times to make sure there are no SNAFU’s.

So, please check that you received an email from sdmbshotglass @ gmail . com. @Czarcasm and @Baker, you sent me your info via PM so I sent your recipients to you via PM reply, so you two should have your sendees in your PM folder.

Please let me know ASAP if you did not receive a recipient of if there is any other weirdness that needs to be addressed.

Now the fun part begins.

Consigned today into the safe hands of Australia Post destination Stateside…  
Needed to use appropriate but possibly misleading packaging which might draw the attention of US Post. ETA, dunno … expect at least a week, likely more.  
I again counsel patience.

I’m literally a week late on this but omg you guys are the best!

I was PM’d that even though I couldn’t participate myself, apparently multiple (multiple!) people wanted send me something anyway. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that internet friends aren’t real friends because that’s a more touching act than some of my IRL friends have done in the past year. Thank you all so so much. And a special thank you to @silenus because I got some way rad and nerdy stuff! We have…

- Shot glass one: An LA Dodgers shot glass. I’ve already smashed this on the ground and smashed the smaller bits into a fine powder as the Dodgers have not once but TWICE eliminated my Brewers from the playoffs (including the season we SHOULD have gone to the World Series). Nah I’m kidding, this will look great on my sports teams shelf.

- Shot glass two: A plain metal shotglass with a logo on the bottom. This logo is sooooo familiar to me but I just can’t place it! It’s driving me nuts. Can you elaborate maybe?

- A pack of Daredevil playing cards. This one is fun because each suit has a different character as it’s theme. We got the Devil himself as well as Bullseye, Elektra, Kingpin, and Bullseye. I love playing cards and this will go well with my Nakitoma Plaza deck I got for Christmas.

- A pen from the Cosmo in Las Vegas. How did you know I collect pens?!?

- A vaccine pin. I am vaxed and waxed and looking for…eh…nevermind

- Some alien-fresh beef jerky.

- A coaster

- A kickass “League of Magnificent Bastards” sticker that is going RIGHT on the Kindle case.

- Two bottles of booze.

Thank you so so much to everyone who thought of me, and to Silenus for sending. This means more to me than you guys know.

I should have posted this earlier, but I received bad news and got distracted.  
From @feppytweed I received a Memphis shot glass, black with various artwork on it, a Spirit Of Memphis postcard, and a bottle each of Charlie Vergo’s Rendezvous BBQ Sauce and Dry Rub. The shot glass was broken in with a splash of 12 yr old Tullamore Dew, btw. Thank you very much. 😀

That’s one of my favorite add-ons. It’s the shot glass capper to Tin Cup American whiskey.

Because you can never have too many unbreakable shot glasses around!

Glad it got there and glad you liked everything.

OK, whoever organizes next year’s exchange - I dibs **@penultima_thule**!! Payback is going to be _fun_.

Today I received from Down Under:

Not one, not two…but a set of SIX shotglasses, depicting scenes of Sydney: skyline, opera house, harbour bridge, etc.  
A sheet of Aussie travel signs as fridge magnets  
A note pad of Australian currency, so I can write my grocery list on the back of a AUS $100 bill  
My new favorite bottle opener - the opener itself is in the outline of Australia. The handle is…let’s just say there is a very pissed off roo out there. 😃

Thank you!!! I plan on breaking in each of the glasses this weekend.
