I had hoped I could get off work early one day this week so that I could send mine out. That ain’t happening. But Saturday morning, my elephant will wing its way toward the eastern U.S. Northeastern, even.
Wow! Some people have all the luck! Are you going to display the bear on your desk at work? Maybe you could perch it on top of a pumpkin for a nifty Halloween decoration on your front porch. I’m sure the neighborhood moms would love it!:dubious:
Hey, who wouldn’t love to receive a Shit Bitch Bear?
nd_n8, <steps out from behind curtain>, I’m your elephanter. Your story had me cackling in my officle so loudly that my workmate stopped over and asked me if I was OK.
Um, sorry about the soap (yes, it’s just soap); I looked in the thing and shook it, and I thought it was bone dry.
Pierce Brosnon’s head is all that is left from a full body cut-out from a 007 promo at Carmike Cinema in Raleigh, NC. For years, it stood in the sliding door of my mother’s porch, because she thought it would ward off burglars. It has powerful warding juju, thought it might be fun for Halloween too (stick in random window as if peaking out).
Books were just random assortment of duplicates (Frankenstein) to obsure pop-culture, including BS Merit Badge book from childhood. When you read some of Jim’s drug-addled poetry, you’ll realize it’s actually scarier than…
The fish. Sorry. I was all set to mail out my package, but it felt just one degree short of true randomness. Enter the pufferfish…he used to have a cork in his ass, and be mounted on a little oval of corkboard. Unfortunately all the cork has been lost/deteriorated, and the fish is all that’s left. And he’s been living in the garage in an abandoned (dry) aquarium, so he was a bit dirty (bug infested? sorry!!). His barbs were so sharp, I didn’t want to put him in loose and injure someone, but didn’t have time to wrap properly/box, so he got rolled in an old OLY BEER (Olympia?) hat that someone left at poker last winter.
Weird medical device is for measuring lung capacity, was an extra after my dad’s surgery. Kids may have blown in it once, but it was quickly tossed aside and languishing. If you wipe the mouthpiece once with alcohol, should be safe to play with (try to keep floatie between lines for 10 seconds or something, I think).
Oh, that laugh was so worth the shipping price. After getting the BK Mask (I’ve already purchased a purple pimp robe at Wally World, and will be handing out Whoppers, the malt balls, on a silver platter for Halloween, promise pics) from picunurse, along with some other great random stuff, I was inspired to go all out. I’m already plotting next year’s 
Thanks for documenting the reception of the box, that was priceless after a rough morning and made my whole day. I still have tears in my eyes imagining the whole scene.
Dude, thanks again, I’m still laughing. The effect of the mealy bug, although unintentional, was priceless. And the Jim Morrison will reside on my bookshelf next to the Bob Dylan - Tarantula, I don’t frighten that easily.
My mother-in-law, however, does. I think the .007 head will just about do the trick.
Well worth the price of admission (which, by the way, I’m lined up to pay this afternoon at the Post Office. Me box has been more appropriately randomized and should land early next week.)
Excellent! I’m so glad people are having success - I’ve actually got a few e-mails from people running behind - I think this is a tough time of year.
Due to that, I’ve decided to move our official ‘Bitch Date’ back to the 15th of October. That should give everyone another couple of weeks to get shipping.
Glad you like the box. The screwed up thing is that I just went around the house throwing things in the box and it turns out half the stuff I have is sex related! Feel free to take up those bad habits any time!
Oh, and enjoy the Shit Bitch Bear!
OK,
My package is finally ready for shipment.
I’m sending one thing. (well, it’s one thing with acessories for it)
It works, but you may need an adaptor.
It is the most awesome piece of trash I could bear to part with.
Flander, I am very sorry but your elephant is running late. I would love to tell a long story about the series of unfortunate events that delayed my visit to the post office, but the truth is I just keep forgetting. They will be closed when I get home from work today, but I promise to go first thing in the morning.
It is done.
We love Marge
It was the perfect package for two single ladies. My daughter took off with the flat iron and most of the body lotion, bath lotion, body spray and the nail polish. I was able to snag a couple things 
I needed a new address book. Mine is so old that even my own address in it is over ten years old…lol
The new kittens are playing with the little Hello Kitty wash clothes. I will have to snag them back as soon as they are distracted. They are so cute.
The lighter is interesting! I am going to read that Hardy Boys book. I used to read those and the Nancy Drew stories when I was a kid. Nothing like going back in time.
I love the mirror. I was glancing around the livingroom trying decide where to hang it. I really like it.
Also all the little odds and ends are great! I love all the sample shampoos. They really come in handy. What is the Life Skills thing? My kid said it is a paper weight…lol
I needed something to cheer me up and the package was perfect. Thanks 
I’m so glad you both liked it! I would tell you what the life skills thing is, but I have no idea what you’re talking about. My boyfriend, who helped me pack the elephant, also has no idea. I think we’re getting old. Enjoy!
Hi, I am super SUPER SUPER lame, and although I received my White Elephant over a week ago, I totally forgot to come and post about it. :smack:
I don’t know who sent it - they included a very nice little note with my name, but I could find no mention of theirs! However, the package included a little something for everybody, including a turquoise baseball cap that MiniWhatsit and Whatsit Jr. have been in heated negotiations over, a bag of cotton balls (always useful!), an old camera, a North American Hunting Club Life Member patch, a Princess Leia bobble head X-wing fighter thing that is 1) truly weird and 2) highly coveted by all the little Whatsits, a good assortment of bath and body stuff, a glittery crown thing that is now the permanent property of MiniWhatsit, and probably a lot more that I’m either forgetting or that has been bogarted already by the youngsters.
Thanks, anonymous elephanter!
(I’m sending mine out this weekend - better late than never? Yes? I suck.)
That little note is in case the P.O. body slammed it and the outside addy was somehow damaged.
I realized later I hadn’t said who it was from! I admit to not wanting to tip my hand, in case you hated the stuff. Heh. :o
That glittery thing is a Magic Fairy Crown. One of my very first internet buddies sent me a whole box full years ago - I’ve been slowly giving them away ever since.
Glad the little Whatsit’s liked everything!
Oh yeah, I think that might be a panoramic camera.
No, I think I sent to you last year. Mine was from MrBusGuy last year.
You’re very welcome! I can’t seem to rid myself of the Burger King. I got one back. Just wait til next year!
the elephant has landed!!
it is chock full of goodies!
lots of coasters, a braves tomahawk, a few mugs, tiki drinks, comic novels, dvds, cds, ashtray, mcdonald land toy, yellow gun, lanyards, marde gras beads (koritsa the kuddley likes these), buffy tin and card, and much much more!
thank you elephant sender this is fun for the whole family!
My White Elephant was last seen galloping eastward. Should be there in 2-3 days they said. (Thanks for the extension, by the way, alice.)
Hope my elephantee enjoys the…assortment.
De nada. Glad you are enjoying the selection of weirdness.
We just got back from the post office. Both elephants are galumphing their way to the designated [del]victims[/del] recipients, one heading for sunny southern California, where certain people who wear Hawaiian shirts reside, and one heading for the Carolinas, where certain ice-sport-loving simians live.
