The Entmoot Gift Exchange

[Nurvingiel]

What would you like to get your fellow Mooters for Christmas? You can give and receive as many gifts as you like. I think it goes without saying that we should be nice - don't give presents that make fun of people in mean ways. A little good-natured teasing is fine, or you can give a gift that expresses friendship, is useful, or etc.

There is to be no spam in this thread. If you spam, you get coal, because we would risk having the Gift Exchange closed, and delightful young children would cry. And we don't want that now, do we? As further punishment for spamming, your custom title will be changed to "The Grinch Who Ruined the Gift Exchange" for the duration of the holiday season.

Gifts don't have to be Christmas gifts - they can be for Channuka, or even non-gift giving events like Kwanzaa, Ramadan, New Years, or because your fellow Mooters are mad spiffy.



To start off, I would like to present SGH with this Stick of Wrath Care Kit:
(Contains Turtle Wax, buffing cloth, and varnish.)


Merry Christmas SGH!


EDIT: I'm copying part of another post here, because come might find it handy...

You too can be a jpeg master!

I use Google to find spiffy pictures. They can be edited with Microsoft Paint, or a more advanced photo editing program if you have one (I don't).

When you're finished, upload it to an online photo hosting place, such as Photobucket. Now the image has its own URL, leading to its unique location on the internet. In your post, surround the url with Image tags, like this:

Oh Nurv, it's lovely. The stick certianly needs some care and touch ups. It has gone through a lot these past few years. It's just full of rough spots and chips from all those whaps. Why, I had to pick Rians hair off of it the other day, and a piece of cloth from BoP's pants.

Watch out Mooters. The stick has been restored and is like new, thanks to my good buddy, Nurv.

[Nurvingiel]

Yay! I'm glad you like your gift. Is there any Mooter you would like to give a present to? (And I'm not hinting it should be me. )

I have a gift for EarthBound:


Merry Christmas buddy!

Incidentally, you don't have to have a picture of your gift, you could just say "I have a keg for EarthBound" or something.

I would like to present JD with the DVD "Fahrenheit 911" and it comes wrapped in a big French flag.

In that case... Here is a set of hand-painted tea cups and platters specially designed for you with the words in nice writing: "The Teacup Cafe".

[Nurvingiel]

lol!!!

I would like to present JD with a microwave, where the DVD can be stored, and then the microwave could accidentally be turned on...

Okay, I'm going to let other people go. Post good Mooters, post! Isn't there a special someone you would like to give a present to?

[Lizra]

Hmmm....I would like to give Anduril an upper body massage...with frangipani oil. I would like to give BoP a large chest of drawers...for her many PANTS.

[Jonathan]

I want Eärniel to have the biggest chocolate frog she has ever seen!

Merry Christmas

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

This is for TPT1


And for Merry

[Rían]

great idea, Nurvi!

*rubs her head where a patch of hair is missing and there's a stick-shaped mark*

Hmm, I gotta learn how to do those pictures ...

[Nurvingiel]

I think we cross-posted before there Merry...

*unwraps* Ooooh pretty! They will be kept in the china cabinet along with that cool mask I got in an Entmoot award, and our mint copies of first press works of Tolkien.

Ri, don't worry, you too can be a jpeg master! I use google to find spiffy pictures. They can be edited with Microsoft Paint, or a more advanced photo editing program if you have one (I don't).

For Ri, I present... a giant rubber stamp which says RÃ*an, to edit posts that don't have her full I accented name. Ink not included. Mwehehe

[Nurvingiel]

For Merry, I have a strongbox to keep the potstickers away from people who might try to steal them. Um... not that I know any...

Here's a close-up of the lock:

[Grey_Wolf]

Since I've won the Entmoot Lottery Great Prize of One Million Entmoot Dollars I hereby give all 'Mooters a plasma hdtv, dvd-recorder with built harddisc, a six-pack of your favo beer and some snacks and to top it all off: Chose your favo movie.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[Sister Golden Hair]

I want to give Grey_Wolf a round trip plane ticket to beautiful Akron, Ohio, to visit Inventure Place, the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Because I can't get them to contact him.

Merry Christmas!!!

Might I remind you that you have a husband?

Part of me regrets posting that pic. The other part, fiendish as always, is thinking about posting another. Shall I torment Lizra, or shall I limit my exhibitionism to that one pic?

To Lizra I'd give a plane ticket to that deserted island...

To BoP and Earniel I'd give two big ice cream cones...

To EXK I'd give a table so that she can finally sit under it and drink hard liquor named after me. Which is the closest she'll ever come to drinking me under the table.

[Lizra]

Of course I remember my heavenly hubby! That's why I said upper! I just want to check out all those big muscles... They're quite interesting!

[Pytt]

I don't realy know what to give people... I don't feel like I know you enough to hand out presents.. oh wait... I have something, but how do I put a picture in my post?

[Wayfarer]

For Pytt, I have a copy of the book 'Elementary use of the [IMG] Tag'.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

For Nurvi:
A trip to ancient China to enjoy Lapsang Souchong the way it was meant to be drunk.

For RÃ*an:
A brand-spanking new, leather-bound, gold-clasped King James I edition of the Bible, enscribed with "RÃ*an" in silver lettering on the front.

For Trollsbane:
A box of assorted Twinings Teas, all varieties of tea and herbal tea known to man.

For Nerdanel:
A crate of Green Hill, a crate of Jacobite and a wondeful, hand-stitched, Pride Banner.

For Valandil:
A castle in Arnor, with rooms for the little kiddies, and a wonderfully architected(?) archway.

For SGH:
A staff of wrath, to complement the care kit presented by nurvi.
