Hey Guys / Gals has anyone ever thought about having a VMF white elephant gift party? We would collect the names of who would like to participate, shuffle them around each person draw a name and then send that person a white elephant gift. Sound like fun or just plain stupid.

I'm in, if you can explain what a white elephant gift is.

I'm in also. White elephant gifts are things you don't want or need but that can be funny when given to someone as a present. Examples I have received:

2001 coupon book (received it in 2002)
speedo (used no doubt)
plastic spider collection (I hate spiders)
blender that only had one speed (warp)
8 track tape of Perry Como Christmas music
1 barell carb off a lawn mover
bottle of geritol (sp)

You are not supposed to know who sent it to you.

You probaly get the idea

It would be further cool if everyone could snap a shot of themselves holding what they got and post it on VMF for a few laughs. ::

Please count me in. BTW a white elephant gift is something that is really stupid! It's not going out and buying something and giving it to someone. I have been to parties when it was advertised as a WEG and people brought really nice things they went out and bought. Most of the good WEGs were things you found around the house that would normally just throw away. How's that for a definition?
