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 willing to ship out of country, please say so. Likewise, if you are non-U.S. but are willing to ship to the U.S., please say so. I’ll try to match up these requests. Deadline: December 15th ---

I’m wrapping up an over-under loaded with double-ought…oh, shot_glass_ exchange. Okay, still sounds cool, but maybe not quite as much fun. ---

Should they be shot glasses from where you live or just something nifty? Anyway, count me in!! I have a decent sized shotglass collection and anything to add to that would be cool. I will be sending my email directly! 😃 ---

I’m in, given that the recipient will recieve a shot glass like no other. And I mean, _like no other_. I made mine by hand. Hopefully, my recipient would appreciate the value of such a glass. . . Tripler Yes, I have toasted with my shot glass before. . . ---

Hmmmm… those aren’t really popular around here, but I think I know a couple airports where you can find them in the tourist shops. Oh, and there’s a big department store that tends to have stuff like that. I’ll check it… Does it have to be a “real” shotglass or does “small glass for drinking dangerous things” work? Mexican shotglasses are taller than the ones you see in most places; Brazilian ones and Spanish chiquitos are the width of a regular waterglass but stubby. And those caipirinhas are about as dangerous as they come. ---

Mexican shotglasses are taller than the ones you see in most places; Brazilian ones and Spanish chiquitos are the width of a regular waterglass but stubby. And those caipirinhas are about as dangerous as they come. If you can fix yourself a shooter in it, you can consider it a shotglass. ---
