White Elephant 2008 Update Thread

Hello White Elephanters!

I can’t actually find the other thread, so I started this one - Mods please merge, close, etc if necessary.

As usual, as soon as I start a White Elephant exchange a small percentage of posters on this board start acting like douchebags and I get cranky.

However, the has not prevented me from putting together the most fabulous Elephant EVAAAAR!!!

Watch your mail dopers - this bad boy is on his way this Saturday!

I’m going to try to get mine out on Saturday. But it might not be till the middle of next week. Trying, of course, to put together a competetive collection. :smiley:

Thanks again for organizing this, alice!

Got my package mailed off today with crossed fingers that the breakables don’t.

I’m almost through packin’ the box! I promise!

some of that stuff is hard to squeeze in there

My housemate is moving out Saturday at which point I have to move a lot of my stuff around too. So I’m waiting til then when I’ll be digging through all my stuff anyway :slight_smile:

I am still gathering items. I know we another week or two so my package will go out later in the month.

You were able to add me right? I thought I made the deadline. If not, then next time.

If you didnt make it in time but still want in you and Projammer can exchange 9he didnt sign up in time either). With our combined household, we will be cleaning out more stuff this weekend and will have more than enough to add another to our list :cool:

Holy Crap I had forgotten about this!

Yay, I see I have an e-mail with contact info. Awesome!

Now, to put together a box that is so cool, it can only be called Awesome.

Dick Awesome.

I’m calling mine Marge. Just because.

Marge is getting full.

I was pretty sure I made the deadline too but didn’t receive any email back with an address, etc.

Not complaining! I may have missed deadline, although I sent it between your first compiled list and second, in the original thread. If too late/more trouble than worth, don’t worry about it.

My mom came to visit last weekend and brought a truck load of my stuff that was being stored in her barn.

I’m finishing my box as I go through that stuff. :slight_smile:

I’ve got an OK mental list of things to pick up from the house. I’ll try to get them sent today and use my job’s UPS account to pay for shipping. MUAUAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Well I’m definetly passing along something I got in the last WE. I’m trying to decide what else tosend with it.

I don’t have anything as perfect as the item I sent last time, which I strongly suspect will be sent to a new owner this time around.

Dude - I sent you an e-mail weeks ago.

Both you and Auto need to check your junk folders or PM me a new e-mail - I sent both of you a message on September 2nd.

I just checked my sent folder and neither of them bounced back.

ETA - I double checked and I replyed to both of your e-mails so I should have got through - send me a new e-mail address please.

All my stuff is in my shed being held hostage by a raccoon. As soon as I [del]dispatch[/del] deal with the little feller in a positive way I will pack up and ship it.

I thought about sending the raccoon with the stuff but he’s bigger than the box.:eek:

My package is sitting here, waiting for me to make one final look around for any last-minute [del]crap[/del] treasures to be added, and it will be going out at the end of the week.

I’m usually very prompt dressing my ele, but Hubby’s dad is sick so I’ve been spending time there. I’ll get busy this weekend.

My box is packed and ready to go. What I did is grab a medium-sized box and wander the house, putting random things into it. The person I send this to will find layers of nonsense in there, that’s for sure.

Now that I think of it, that describes a lot of people’s lives; layers of nonsense.
