I would totally be jealous of Shrift's free CPK except that I went to the new Indian place in town and had yummy yummy lunch out with a friend who I don't get to hang with enough.

Eh, I don't care enough about this to pay 2 separate shipping fees. So it's ninja/unicorn or flair/doorbell - I can't mix them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Okay, it's time once again for my office's annual white elephant gift swap. The rules are everyone brings in a wrapped gift (under $20) and draws straws for the order in which you select gifts. You can either take a gift from the table (mystery!) or steal someone else's already unwrapped gift (score!). You can only steal the same gift 3 times.
Yankee swap!

Ooh, ThinkGeek also carries the ninja catapult! So I can do flair + ninjas! We have a winner!

Oh, I forgot which things went together by the time I started typing. But it looks like all's well that ends well!

In our version of this at work, if you do get it or steal it 3 times, you get to keep it because you worked for it. IOW no on can take it from you if you manage to get it that many times. You also can only steal twice a turn - on the 3rd go you have to got to the table or keep what you got swapped to. And whoever picked first gets to do a final swap with anyone who hasn't gotten theirs for good. This leads to even MORE madcap Machiavellian machinations.

Office White elephant
If it doesn't have to be new, I always try to find something in my house already.
I just learned that there are "games" of some sort at our office party. I have not been the other 2 years I have been working here. I am not amused at this prospect.

We're having a potluck and gift swap this year. Last year, we went out. My minion, who wasn't even here last year, is all, "Are we in financial trouble??" and, "I can't believe this party is going to cost me money!" Also, you're supposed to bring something that represents your culture, so she said she's going to bring white bread, which was funny.
