:dubious:
No, but that would be AWESOME. I plan to get right on the development and marketing of this game. 
I sent my elephant priority on Monday, and it should have arrived at its destination by now. Either the wayward elephant stopped for snacks on the way, or the recipient hates it and is too embarrassed to post about its arrival. 
On Sunday, I’m going out of town for almost two weeks. If the elephant coming this way hasn’t arrived by then, I’ll leave instructions with the post office to care for it tenderly.
Mine came back to me in the mail. Zebra, can you check the address with the other Doper and make sure it is valid? I haven’t gotten the one sent to me yet
PM with the name of the person you sent yours to. I do have an excel spreadsheet but that’s at home.
YUP, it was me!
The red print purse is one of my favorite little things, but I have several (being with a Chinese boyfriend and all!) so I thought I’d pass one on. I have a teal one myself.
I love Pit. But I only have 2 people to play it with and you need 3.
I’m glad little Whatsit likes the Tow Mater. I had it for a while (someone gave it to me) and thought it was time to pass it on.
The blank CD is from my brother, who sends me Indian music periodically. I copy all of the songs onto my iPod and then pass the CDs on. I had one left over so thought I’d throw it in.
The picture frames - one of them has that picture of a beautiful woman. I used to keep it because I figured I didn’t have anyone that beautiful to put in there!
The Burger King comes from - we used to have a guy in our office that had a real ego problem. And he really annoyed this one girl in the office. She got me this king, and asked me to put him up next to my desk whenever he was in the office, as an early warning system, because “he thinks he’s the King.” Hee.
The bendy mosquito was also a silly little gift someone gave and I had him for about two years before I decided to pass him on too.
Glad you liked it!
Oh, and History of the World is a good movie your kids might like, too. And damn good guess, btw!
I have to leave work early. I know that the package I sent is on the Fed Ex truck and it is out for delivery. Hopefully when I check in later a Doper across the country will have gotten their elephant.
Oh, jeez. Let me make it clear, btw, that I did not lift my top for those beads. I’ve never even been to Mardi Gras.
Instead, I begged another Doper for them. 
From the exotic wilds of Indiana, a white elephant has trundled through the gauntlet of our corporate mail room, and arrived at my desk.
“Squirreled” away in my box was:
- One ceramic “Squirrel with Acorn Salt and Pepper Set” (apparently his left arm was amputated in transit, but it is nothing that an emergency gluing can’t fix. Until then, he will only be able to hold one of his nuts…)
- One dishtowel sporting another nut-holding squirrel and two autumn leaves.
- Three different-yet-matching “tea towels” (who knew?) from Pier 1 Imports.
- Six tea lights
- One 3" plastic “Waving Elmo” toy
- One black cowboy hat lapel pin (which is just begging to be glued to Elmo’s head during the aforementioned squirrel-limb-reattachment procedure)
- One (gently used) box of Bostitich standard staples
- One red plastic pom-pom
- One white plastic lei
- One small loofa
- One disposable particle mask
- One unopened CD-R
- Three notepads inscribed with “XPerience the Difference! Windows XP is coming to Anthem!”
- 22 blank index cards
- 12 assorted empty coin roll wrappers
- Four new pencils (two of them promoting Purdue University, College of Liberal Arts and the School of Pharmacy and Pharmecuetical Sciences, respectively)
- One new 4x6 picture frame (black)
- One three-pack sample of various Dial Daily Care Body Wash
- One postage-paid envelope for donation/recycling of used cell phones and inkjet cartridges (courtesy of Mary Kay)
- One .75 oz tube of Mary Kay “Satin Hands” Hand Cream
- One pink beaded lipstick purse, with mirror.
- One bottle of “Rich Berry” fingernail polish
A very entertaining and well-rounded box of goodies which brought some much-needed smiles to my cubemates and I. Thank you! I will be sure to report on any improvements on the ceramic squirrel’s condition.
As for the last two items, they will undoubtedly be enjoyed by our land-lord’s 9 yo daughter, but I have to ask if the giver happened to have followed my recent gender-presentation adventures in the Pit? 
When I came back from running errands today there was an elephant on my bed.
Elephanty goodness:
Erasable labels for computer diskettes, with eraser and pen
Fuzzy Dalmatian stickers
Medical company swag: three small note pads, address book, sunglasses, retractable phone cord, pill case, stress ball
Retractable lighter holder
Smiley face pen that mr.stretch loves
Avalanche Blue keychain
Goofy woobly thing
Skinny party candles
Plastic salt and pepper shakers
Cleveland Browns small beanbag football
Small container of yellow Play-Doh
Oval-shaped deck of cards in a case
Egg puzzle with note advising me not to take it apart, which makes me really want to take it apart
No direction on what item I should display, so I will be displaying the Play-Doh and stress ball in my cube at work. Mr.stretch already kiped the smiley face pen. The egg puzzle is going by my home computer to taunt me. My grandson will get the stickers one at a time.
There was no Doper name so: Thank you, elephanter, whoever you may be. Mr.stretch and I were just like kids opening a present. We oohed, we aahed, we tried to figure out how to shuffle oval-shaped cards.
Ha, I have passed on the cards from hell. Good luck with that 
I knew someone would love that pen. Be afraid of the egg puzzle. I attempted to open once. I turned and got scared and returned it to the position I found it in, which was a trick in it self.
I am glad it showed up with no issues and …
BROWNS BEAT SEATTLE!!! That is what you MUST display!
You = Evil Genius
I have christened him Howdy Elmo.
I forgot a couple. So many things came out of the box, there was an instant risk of elephant bits migrating into the default surface clutter that seems to follow me everywhere…
There was also a small locket, packaged and labeled as a “prayer box”, complete with “Jesus is Lord” on the packaging.
And a smiley face magnet (which I stuck to my cube wall as soon as I pulled it out of the box, hence me almost forgetting to mention it.
Who is Cindy from Tallahassee? I got your White Elephant in the mail today. Joy of joys. Lemme see, what did I get:
inflatable spiderman
American Idol dvd
seemingly dozens of plastic rings with insects on them
seemingly dozens of matchbooks
Several toys that need to be put together so I don’t really know what they are or do
Is that wooden thing a massager?
Several ink cartridges which do not fit my printer
soap
Rocks, with “WA” engraved on them
A marracca!
Very cool. Thank you very much.
It’s me! The toys are actually arts and crafts projects with instructions (damn Oriental Trading Company, making you order them by the dozen when all you needed was four). The ink cartridges don’t fit my printer, either…guess you could pass them along. Yes, the wooden thing is a massager, and the rings are from my daughter. The soap was not a hint, as I do not know you. Oh, and the matchbooks came from a few Florida tourist areas. The rocks are from Washington, but I no longer wanted them as my ex-boyfriend gave them to me. If you feel bad vibes, just throw them in your garden or something.
Glad you liked it!
I am the lowliest of the low, because I have not yet sent my elephant out. If you are elephantless, do not despair. You WILL recieve.
I have two packed, yes two (one from myself and one from Jayjay), pachyderm probisci boxed and labeled and ready to go tomorrow morning. One will be winging its way to the northeast, and one will be winging its was to the midwest.
Mine should have arrived at its destination by now… It went Massachusetts-ward. Has it arrived? (Of course, I didn’t include my screen name in it; it’s coming from Columbus OH. (I’m hoping MsWhatsit didn’t have an elephantee in Massachusetts as well…).
