The Entmoot Gift Exchange
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: [IMG]image url here[/IMG] ex. (quote post to see example)

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.

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 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?

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:

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!!!

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. |

For Nurvi:
A trip to ancient China to enjoy Lapsang Souchong the way it was meant to be drunk. For R*an: A brand-spanking new, leather-bound, gold-clasped King James I edition of the Bible, enscribed with "R*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. |
