Okay, I posted a note about this in this thread, but obviously everyone ignored it.
So, in order to properly thank our Elephant Wrangler for all his hard work on our behalf, I’m proposing that we send him a box filled with treasures. I mean, why should he get away without getting any cr…good stuff? He’s getting off scott-free, people!
If you’re interested, email me and I’ll send you my address. After getting everyone’s contribution, I’ll send it on down to thinksnow, who will then know the pleasure, the rapture, nay, the joy of receiving a fecund box of…STUFF. 
I mean, its the least we can do, right? 
Anyone, anyone?
Elephant wranglers.
Yes they’re thin, but look how wide they are…
Oh yeah, I’m in on this one… I believe thinksnow deserves all the appreciation he can get…
Great idea, **BunnyGirl!!
Not to poo-poo your idea, oh Bunny one, but if we were to e-mail you to get your address, and then we send you stuff, and then you send thinksnow stuff…
Wouldn’t it be easier to just give out the thinkster’s address (which I have, bwa-hahahaha!) and send him myriad smallish parcels of Elephant-ocity?
Wait. No. Scratch that. I just realized, giving out thinksnow’s real-life address without his consent would be a very bad thing.
But if you were to relay each package of Pachydermian Goodness (Package-derm) on it’s own, well, everyday would be like Christmas for the esteemed snow-boy.
-Rue.
Actually, my quasi-IRL address is a corporate apartment, so I really don’t care if that is given out (the Kentucky one, Bunny.) It’s not like I have anything here to steal, nor will I be here much longer (I hope…god I hope!) and if anyone signs up the add’y for “interesting” mailings, well, the next occupant can enjoy them.
I should point out that I am getting stuff, I’m in the mix the same as y’all (remember, I got vegemite last time!)
'Course, if Bunny wants to act as a way-point, that’s all well and good, too, though it seems to add an extra step.
To sum up, don’t feel you have to do or send anything, I did this to keep myself looking busy at work [sub](and to get all y’alls addresses to sell to Publisher Clearing House…mwuhahaha!)[/sub], but I won’t discourage you from sending me stuff I’ll have no use for, either.
I think I might be able to find a trinket or two for our esteemed elephant wrangler. [sub]Anyone have a Prince Eric doll, maybe one the dog chewed up or something?[/sub]
/madly tearing up the house for a suitable tribute for ts/
Good points raised.
I certainly don’t mind acting as the middle man and doing one big ol’ box. I’ve got the extra time to do it up creatively for ts, so don’t worry about that.
Teemings, what think ye?
Ummmmm hey Bunny are you willing to pay for the shipping of 2 tons of crap???
I could probably get some kind of University discount with United Van Lines or something.
Actually, for those that want to send stuff, I’m suggesting a limit of one big item or 2-3 small items. It would be kind of hard getting a refrigerator box to the Post Office, ya know.
Once again, not that I don’t want all the junk that you no longer want (:p) and not that I’m not appreciative of the thought, but an easy solution to this would be to just wait until we meet-up at a DopeFest and then buy me a drink or dinner or pay for my room or something. (Massages are appreciated, too.)(From female Dopers, btw.)
Damn - this could be fun - you mean we can recycle our crap BACK to the elephant wrangler? COOL!
Oh yeah!
I like this!
If you guys are going to pack a thank-you box, count me in.
Elly
Well, the truly nice thing to do would be sent him something that isn’t crap.
Of course, I’m not a nice person, so I think you all know what my plans are…
But back to nice… Maybe we could each send $5 to the Ohio State Athletic Department’s Scholarship Fund in his name/honor? [sub]I hope you guys know what a huge psychic cost it was for me to suggest and type that.[/sub]
I’d feel better if I followed that up with “God knows they need all the money they can get.”
I say we combine this package with this link

I’m sure thinksnow would love it
Hey, Cranky, did I tell you what I did for ChiDope? I bought everyone a little green and white MSU pen as a souvenir, but I got ts a U of M pencil. I just know, being the OSU fan he is, that it will be his most treasured possession! [sub]It’s probably already in his box to be sent out to his White Elephant name![/sub]
No no, Bunny, it’s got a very special place in my apartment: the vodoo alter.
Yes, with pins and flame I am working my majik on that cursed School Up North.
Yea, I say unto you, they shall lose this year. Yea.

I must say, though, that is one heck of a swell idea, y’all could chip in and buy sub[/sub] a paver (brick) in the re-furbished stadium. That would be something!
*Go Bucks!
Keep wishin’, brother. I visited this site and even just going there made me a little sick to my stomach. 
Actually, the ONLY (and I do mean only) time I rally around UofM is when they play OSU. Other than that, I’m a green-n-white girl through and through.
You realize that on November 25th, after OSU has LOST to UofM, I’ll be starting a thread to mock and ridicule you, right?
Geez, bunny, you should have warned me! I followed that link. No sooner had the graphics come up when I heard distant sirens drawing closer. Having a very, very bad feeling, I quickly shut and barred my office door. However, heavy feet came pounding up the staris and now the U-M campus police are hefting a battering ram to try to get in. I think there is an agry crowd growing, waiting impatiently to get at me. I’m busted, I’m in big trouble, and I’m scared.
RUN, Cranky! RUN!
I’ll pick you up!
:runs out to car to go get Cranky before the mob does:
Oh, yeah. Let’s send him a big ol’ box fulla crap. I’ll save the most craptacular thing in my collection and put thinksnow’s name on it.
Remember to email me, people, if you want the address where to send stuff for ts!
:This has been a friendly reminder from the Campaign to Deluge ts with Junk:
